The Enchantress

15.

Prince Chaeyoung.

I crept silently toward the guard and quickly ran attacking him and knocked him out.

I then heard a woman shouted. "intruder by the gate!"

I took my bow and loaded it and stood looking for the woman. I was about to aim when I saw her.

It seemed my whole world has stopped as the woman who shouted, was the same woman who haunted me in my dreams. I've been searching for her for 3 years now but now she's here. She's more breathtakingly beautiful now than how I remembered.

She was on a horse wearing a light purple dress. Her eyes looked alarmed when she saw me. But when our eyes met, her eyes changed now looking puzzled.

An arrow then came almost got me by the head. I shot an arrow to the one who shot at me hitting him at his arm causing him to drop his bow.

I looked back where the lady was who has now turned her horse around and galloped away.

I put my bow on my back as I ran at the end. I climbed at the railing and jumped at the roof of one of the houses then jumped down at the stacks of barrel. I ran towards where the lady went. I stole the first horse I saw and rode hard. I can't see her but as I rode ahead the castle came to view. That might be where the lady went.

I stopped and went on an alley I then heard a horse turned towards the alley too. I drew my arrow and aim towards it.

"It's me. I followed you..." Momo said.

"I saw her Momo. She's here."

"She? Oh! Lady Sharon?" He asked as he went closer.

"Yes. Her." I then pulled out the map of the castle and looked at the best way inside the castle.

I put the map closer to him. "We'll go here. The spy said only two men guards that."

"Okay."

"The Arrows?"

"Should be in place by now."

"Let's go." I turned my horse towards the left alley and rode hard towards the east side of the castle.

Once we're near we unmounted and hid behind the pillar. We found where the door was hidden and it's ajar. I opened it slowly and saw the two guards on the ground knocked out. Momo and I looked at each other then went inside. We ran along the hallway. We heard guards passing by ahead we hid by a room which was the library.

I opened the door. The guards were gone so we came out of the room and ran cautiously. As we turned at the corner we ran into a guard Momo then attacked him and said go before he hid the guard's body from sight.

I then ran along the hallway when I saw the lady with a man who was holding both her arms. I recognized the man was Rowan.

He saw me approaching them and his eyes went wide.  My eyes was on her all the time.

"My Lord..." Rowan said. He immediately let go of her. For the way he holds her, he surely knows her. Of course he's their spy so for sure he knows her.

The lady turned and saw me.

"You!" The lady shouted.

"Yes it's me. Thank you Rowan. You have no idea who you captured." I briefly looked at him who seemed confused on what I said.

"My lord, she's..." I cut him off for my attention was only at her.

"It's been a long time since the last time we've met, Lady Sharon." I said. She looked surprised on how I knew her name.
