Chapitre 68: LXVIII: her dream

"Don't scold me since I was not the person who gave you this task of babysitting the princess who could either escape at anytime to kill your king or fall to her death to avoid getting punished," Aurora told her with a hint of sarcasm before closing her to sleep.

It took her a while to fall asleep. As soon she drifted off, she suddenly felt a pair of hands push her down a height in the darkness of her sleep. 

As soon as she touched the water, she tried to struggle out of it. 

She learnt how to swim on her own when she was a teenager but the water that now surrounded her seemed to wrap around her in a suffocating manner. 

It felt like wet claws pulling her into the water that no matter how hard she tried to escape it, she did not make any progress. 

She tried her best to keep her head above the water but she soon felt hands pulling her down into the water in a fast motion that she did not have the opportunity to scream.
