章節 27: ..The Castle...
The night fell over the place, it was too dark because of the absence of the moon.
Rose was hiding with David behind the trees. Suddenly, they saw light coming from a window.
- David! Did you see that?
- Yes, someone is hiding there, for sure.
- What should we do?
- I will go to report to the Prince. Stay here, Rose.
- Fine.
David went in a hurry, leaving Rose watching the light. It was appearing and disappearing. At that moment she remembered the story that Remy told them before.
- What if he was right? Those lights can be....a ghost? Damn it, I shouldn't listen to that nonsense.
While she was concentrating on the light's movement David put his hand on her shoulder, she stopped breathing for a moment and her heart skipped a bite out of fear.
She put her hand on her chest
- It.... it was you? Why you didn't say anything?
- Your face is completely pale, don't tell me I frightened you.
- It's okay. What's the order?
- We will go into the castle from behind meanwhile his highness will enter from the front door. He said we should check the place together.
- Right, let's do it then.
They went to the back door, it was closed with a chain and a lock, but David managed to open it
- Wow, you are pretty good with this stuff.
- Yeah, I got the talent.
They entered carefully. Rose was on the front while David was walking behind her.
- Hey David, I think we should light some fire. It is too dark, I can't see anything in front of me.
-.....
- David? Where are you?
-...
- David? .....David? ..... Aaaaaaaa
She fell into a hole in the floor and she passed out for a moment.
She opened her eyes slowly, looked around, and tried to stand up.
" My head hurts so much.... where am I?
She was laying in a big hallway. Surprisingly, it wasn't as dark as before. There was some light coming from a room at the end of that hallway.
She hardly stood up
"Aww, my ankle... I sprained it"
She took a stick was beside her and tried to walk towards that room.
" I think I fell to the basement. I hope David is fine, I'm worried about him"
She got closer to the door, it was half-open.
Her heart was racing and her hands were trembling.
" I hope to get out alive from this place"
She held her sword while taking a peek in the room, it was like a storage room.
She went in, the light was coming from some fire torches.
" Someone lightened those not long ago, I must be more careful"
There were a lot of old furniture and worn clothes.
- (Cough) The place is full of dust (Cough)
She kept looking around until a big painting on the wall caught her eyes.
" So that story was right"
The painting was for the emperor, the empress, and their four children, but why there was something catchy about them?
" I was told since I was born, that my eyes color is so unique, and no one has the same color ever, but it seems like they were wrong. There were other people with the same color as my eyes. The emperor and his family."
They have white hair and grey eyes, that was the first time she saw someone with the same color of her eyes. She was very surprised.
Suddenly she heard a voice coming from behind, someone in the Room.
