The carriage rattled along the moonlit road, its lanterns casting eerie shadows on the trees."Princess I..." I had him say but before he could finish his sentence, the horses suddenly whinnied in terror,The carriage lurched violently, throwing us against each other as the horses galloped wildly, trying to escape whatever was going on.Were we under attack?
He held me in his embrace trying to protect me from the carriage that threw my small fragile body in every direction. Then suddenly everything stopped, not a single sound could be heard, The horses now quiet, not a single movement.
I was shaking from fear,a lot of questions running in my head. When I looked at him his face had transformed in an instant, the calm mask slipping away to reveal a darker, more intense persona. His eyes flashed with a fierce intensity, their color deepening to a piercing shade. The curve of his lips flattened, his jaw clenching in a subtle yet ominous sign of tension. The smooth, serene forehead creased, a single dark eyebrow arching upward in a silent warning. The transformation was electrifying, like a spark of danger crackling to life. The air around him seemed to vibrate with tension, as if the very atmosphere itself was responding to the shift in his demeanor.
The soft, gentle features now seemed chiseled from granite, unyielding and formidable.
In that moment, it was clear that this was a person not to be trifled with, a force to be reckoned with. The danger emanating from him was palpable, a potent mix of power and intensity that commanded attention and respect.
"I want you to stay here and no matter what don't come outside" he commanded as he opened the carriage door. Was he going to leave me in here. "I'm coming with you" I told him, grabbing his hand like my life depended on it, but if I was being honest, it really did depend on it given the situation we were in..he gave me a cold stare that said 'Do as you are told' then he freed himself from my hold and went out.
