The Enchantress

14.

Prince Chaeyoung.

I woke up very early. After taking a bath, much to Momo's dismay, I went knocking on his door.

"What!?" He said as soon as he saw me. He opened his door just wide enough for his eyes to peek on. I then pushed the door open which he tried to fight. He was wearing only a robe.

"Lady in the bedroom, get dressed and come out now. Your services are no longer required."

"What!? No. Stay there." He said then turned to me. "Why are you ruining my day. Atleast let me finish."

"You want to get laid today just for you to die tomorrow? You know if you do this you won't be able to fight with you 100% strength."

He looked at me with a disgusted face.

"Ughhh you're impossible!" He said as he sat onto the nearest chair.

The lady emerged from the bedroom bowed at us and hurriedly left the room.

"What now?" He asked annoyingly.

I took a map from my bag and lay it on the table. It was a map of the castle stolen by our spy. A detailed map sent just recently by our spy.

"We'll ride now then we'll attack tonight. I'll lead the front. Have Rowan stationed to the Arrows far from the front. Tell him the next kingdom are specialized with arrows. Send 3 of the boys with him to avoid suspicion."

"Copy that."

We then discussed more of our strategy. Once done Momo took a bath then we went out of the room.

One of the staff led us to where the men were. We went in to a long room with beds lined up. The men were already sleeping only with their undergarments on.

"Wake them up." I whispered to Momo. He smiled mischievously.

He then took one of the shields on the floor, had his sword out and with full force he banged his sword on the shield. The loud bang instantly woke the boys whom sprang to their feet with knives on hand.

"Good to know you're all still alert even if your half awake." I said as I turned and leave.

I then heard Momo shout. "Be ready. At the grounds in 5."

We briefed the boys and the general. After half an hour our troops are ready to go. I gave a letter to the Kingdom's general. It's addressed to the King apologizing for leaving without any notice as well as thanking him for his hospitality and for accepting the treaty.

I mount my horse and led it away from the castle. It felt different this time. I felt like I'm longing to go there as if someone's waiting for me. We began our journey to the next kingdom, the Kingdom of Once.

Princess Mina.

It's now 5 days since I've last heard from him. Even his father haven't heard from him too.

After our lunch I excused myself, changed into a casual dress and went towards the stables.

I stared at the mountains ahead as I rode out towards the hill. This is me trying to forget my worries even for a while. I reached the meadow and let my horse roam around while I sat right away by the tree. All my worries flooded my head in an instant. I hugged my legs with my chin resting on my knees.

This is my routine whenever I come here. First, pour out my worries and cry it all out. Then once done, I'll spent my hours enjoying the view.

The cool breeze helps to dry the tears in my cheeks that I didn't bother to wipe.
