章節 11: Meeting with the dark princess
There was a slight knock on the door which was a signal for Juverl. He snuck out of bed to get dressed. When he closed the bathroom door, Anna got up and went outside, to find August leaving the hallway.
Anna snuck behind him in her robe. August turned to the right and turning, she was met by a long shiny sword.
"Who are you?" August glared. Immediately he saw who it was, he regretted his actions and knelt down. "My lady. Please pardon me. I was rude"
"It's okay. You may rise" She politely told him. August stood up and withdrew his sword. "Why did you knock and leave?"
"Its nothing. I always do that. Pardon me your highness, it's a habit" August said
"Tell me now or I'll replace your kneecaps with your elbows. The next time you're walking, you'll be squatting like a dog that lost its back bone" She threatened him. With her tone, August knew she meant business. "Now, tell me the truth"
"I do that to tell his highness that it's time to leave for the forest. We are going to meet the dark princess today" August explained
"Since when has he been meeting her?" Anna asked curiously.
"All I can say is that this is the first time his highness is going after the marriage"
"Hmmm. Tell me the truth, are you happy for him, getting married?"
"Yes" August answered
"Are you happy for me?" Anna asked him again
"My lady, you are asking the wrong man" he said scratching the back of his neck. "I can say that, for you, the marriage is some sort of a curse"
"What?"
"Forgive me your highness. I am too straightforward"
"No, it's okay. I'm glad you told me. Thank you, knight. I will get back now"
"It's nothing your highness" August turned and leaves. "And please, don't sneak behind me anymore. I can't afford to kill you"Anna went back into the room and climbed up to the bed.
Juverl came out of the bathroom in his all black outfit. "Where did you go wearing a robe?"
"Getting information from an apprentice" Anna came downstairs. "Where are you going dressed like a widow?" Anna complained.
"What is wrong with my outfit?" Juverl asked
"What's wrong? You look like an abomination. Wear something not black. Will you?"
"I don't have any"
"You need it" Anna went into the bathroom. She came outside in a black outfit as well, dashing at Juverl.
"Seriously? Are all my dresses black too?" Anna shouted at him
"I like the colour. If you don't want them, then shopping we shall do" Juverl said "Would you go out with me today or do you have other plans?"
"As long as I would not get killed, I would love to go with you to the dark princess" Anna agreed. "Let's go now".
They stepped out of the room and outside the palace, a carriage was waiting for them. They got into the carriage hand-in-hand and set off for their journey.
"How did you know I was going to the dark princess?" Juverl began a conversation.
"A strong knight told me of course. I rely on him to tell me somethings about you. Isn't that nice?" Anna confessed
"Once I find out who this knight is, I will feed his balls to him" Juverl's expression changed
Anna withdrew her hand from his grip. "Don't do that please. I forced him to tell me"
"It is very dangerous for you to involve in this kind of stuff" Juverl remarked
"Why are you bringing me then?"
"You look like someone that can protect herself properly, you seem brave. I can bring you along with no harm whatsoever"
"Thank you for the kind words"
"Soon, you will find those words choking" Juverl said while facing the other side.
"This is probably your first encounter with dark princess, don't make her hate you. It will only make things complicated"
"Can I ask you a question?" Anna asked
"Please do" Juverl accepted
"Do you ~ demons ~ hold grudges against the ~ witches ~?" She asked. She said the demons and witches in a whisper
"Witches are highly complicated creatures. They get angry very easily and believe me on this, angry witches are not fun. They are the ones who hold grudges against us. What do you think?"
"Why do they hold grudges against your kind?"
"Simple. Jealousy. From my point of view, the witches were good friends with the werewolves. Ever since we and the werewolves became close, they have been attacking us"
"Do I look like a five year old to you? I can tell that you're lying. Tell me the truth"
"Remind me later we're almost at the dark princess's castle. Hold me" Juverl told her
Anna crossed her arms into his as they sat in the carriage. There were figures in the forests that she couldn't see clearly. Juverl assured her that they were with the dark princess so she should calm down a little.
Anna was just confused, why were there so many spies around them all the time? Geez
