章節 3: Chapter 3

Kyle reached the kingdom the next day and went straight to the castle. When he reached the door, he opened them wide as he ran inside with sweats trickling down his face, he knelt down before the king as presented the paper.

"What did you have there?" the king asked.

"It is a letter" Kyle replied, and the king noticed something before he asked.

"Why are you like this, what of the message I sent you?" he asked.

"Your majesty, I am sorry, we couldn't deliver the message, and we were captured" Kyle said in one breath.

"Captured?, by who?" the king asked, he was becoming impatient.

"By your brother, he sent us to deliver this' message to you" He said.

"And where are your men?" The king asked.

"They are all dead" Kyle answered and the king nodded. He already knew what was happening, his brother wanted to wage war against his own kingdom. He was even cruel enough to kill half of his men. He did not bother to read the letter again, he knew what was inside, he knew the meaning of his brother's outrageous move.

"Call all the chiefs we must have an urgent meeting now!" He yelled and Kyle left in a haste.

The king was pacing up and down in his room when my mother and I came to meet him because of all the commotion.

"Father, what is wrong?" I asked him but he did not reply as he was still pacing up and down worriedly.

Mother saw the paper and grabbed it, in it we saw;

Hi, brother I have missed you so much, I know you miss me also, I would never forget what you have done for me, you enjoyed a lot while I suffered, you don't care about me, I know and I don't care either, since you wouldn't hesitate to have me killed, I am coming back to give you dose of your medicine, Watch your back, death comes unexpected.

Yue.

"What?!!!" Mother screamed as she dropped the paper. She wasn't foolish to not know what was coming. She kept trembling while I went to father.

"Father, what are we going to do?" I asked him.

"What else would we do but to fight back, he wouldn't hesitate to wage war against his own kingdom, it's about time he slept forever", father said and I panicked, this time he really meant it, he would kill his own brother.

But the probability of us winning this war is very low, since half of our men were killed 'I need to do something' I thought

.....

I quickly went to my room pacing up and down, thinking but I could not come up with a good idea. The probability of us winning the war is very low since we were fighting against the most powerful kingdom.

"And father's brother is so sly, he might attack us tommorow or this night" i said to myself as I kept thinking, I caught sight of one of my old books.

"Yes, oh yes, how could I forget about this book?" I asked myself.

It was a book containing demons and witch stories. Although, the story might not seem true, something said that I should try it, I felt that I might at least try.

I quickly flipped through the pages hastily, I need to try this today or it would be the end for us, we would all die in the hands of my wicked Uncle.

I opened to the middle page of the book immediately and saw what i needed,

The legend says the demon lives in another world but if one wants to find them they had to go to the Raz forest at a particular tree and call for them. some of their names are: Lord Zach, Lord Nathan, Lord Kiel and .....

The book did not actually say everything but this was enough for me.

I quickly grabbed my long silver sword and called my two bodyguards to prepare a horse for me.

I knew where the forest was. It was on the southern part of our Kingdom while we were at the eastern part . It was a forest nobody went to but I didn't care, if this was the only way then I would do it.

Even though I knew it was forbidden. I have to save my family, my citizens at most because I have to consider their lives before mine as a princess.

I sat on the horse and ordered the guards to open the gates. I heard my mother calling for me but I pretended not to hear, If I disclose to her my plans she would definitely kick against it. So I ignored her and rode away.

I rode faster and since it was only me the journey would not be slow as I did not stop to rest or talk or eat. I kept riding the horse faster and faster this time, I was determined, I was aspired to save my family and citizens, I was strong willed and there is nothing stopping me from doing what I wished.

The sun was setting already so I increased my pace. 'I must get home before morning' I thought. After what seems like eternity, I finally got to the forest. I reined the horse and I saw only a tiny rope as it was shown in the book. I hopped down from the horse and tied it down hastily.

I walked closer to the rope only then did I realize that we were on the Mount Laurel. 'this is all true' I thought.

I peeped again and what i saw shocked me to death, under this rope was a vast ocean and the mountain was very high. I was always scared of height and the sight of huge water makes me want to jump in it.

'What am I going to do?' I asked myself, since I was here, there is no turning back. I stepped my foot on the rope, I added another feet and then another. At a time it looks as if I should jump into the water, but I was determined not to look at it but there was no way I could do that.
