Captured

Short Excerpt
————————————————————

"Hello there princess, enjoying your stay?" The older woman sips on her wine, eyeing out the princess before her. Megan only frowned, folding her arms and removing a strand from her face.

"I mean, you kidnapped me and, for some reason, are allowing me to wander around and do whatever." The other nods, shifting upwards in her chaise lounge, now at equal eye length of the princess. She waves her hand towards a random door on the left of her.

"Exactly, front door is wide open." Megan only rolled her eyes.

"Guards don't seem to feel that way." The slender woman could only nod again, tracing her finger over the rim of her wine glass.

"True. Also I technically didn't kidnap you, that was Nars doing." The princess waved her hand off, eye twitching some.

"Yes, yes, you're always into the specifics it seems." The woman throws back her head with a laugh as she sigh in exasperation.

"Hah! See it's like we know each other already! But great news, at least your brother and few other of your aquantinces will be arriving soon...!" The younger's eyes sharpened.

"Is that supposed to be your big plan? Kidnap the heirs of kingdoms?" A smirk dance upon the captor's lips, pleased to hear those questions.

"I mean yes, most royals have a few kids and then keep it moving so might as well. Not like they want to make more and have to redo the process; oh and it's not mentioning that if any of you do escape, when you find out your replacement, you'll plot revenge."

The princess could hardly handle her final sigh before went back to wandering around the castle, massaging her temple. Eventually, she found a windowsill hugged by gold-accented pillows, rose-printed curtains & lavender stained glass towering over her. She plants herself on the soft cushion, sinking into bliss. In the corner sat fresh candies, milk-chocolatey to fruit aroma visibly smoking in the air and filling the room.

It definitely did not help that her favorite was chocolate covered strawberries; such a clever trap. She wouldn't mind staying here, nice rooms and wonderful treats. Huh, that would require forgetting being kidnapped though.

Megan sighed, gazing down from the glass.
And there goes her brother and her royal acquaintances. She could only sigh, royals below walking into their luxurious prison; awaiting further duties.

"Now the fun will begin."
