The broken queen

Irisa entered the chamber, Nancy followed suits, guards that Aaron had commanded to protect them and lead them through their new home stopped in the middle of the room.

"Woah!" Nancy said, her mouth opened wide as she continued wondering if this was truly going to be their new home, it was magnificent.

"M'lady this is beautiful!" Nancy gushed touching the table. The door burst open and a group of ladies entered into the room. Most of them looked to be dressed in maid outfits but a middle-aged woman stood out. She walked very quickly toward them.

Irisa frowned a little bit at the sore expression on her face, Nancy ran back to Irisa as the guards stood in a protective stance, "who are you? State your business with the crown princess!" a guard commanded.

The maids all went down on their knees bowing ceremoniously, "Welcome crown princess Irisa, we are glad and honoured to serve you!" they all repeated.

Nancy and Irisa looked at each other, they were here to serve her? Hmm... It seemed off. But she had never lived in the palace, she did not know how things went.

"State your means of identification!" another guard said, their hands on their swords, they looked like they were ready to fight, "we have a seal, we were asked to be here as soon as the news of the new princess and the edit travelled, we are here to serve her highness and make sure that she is well taking care of."

"That is why I am here," Nancy answered, "can you serve the crown princess alone?" the woman resorted, making Nancy go mute.

"All we need is a means of identification and you can carry on your business," the guard repeated, "we were sent here by the house mistress, we were in a hurry we could not get a seal, but we do have it."

"Orders from the crown prince, nobody is to be near the princess without a seal he has given, if it is not commanded by the crown prince that you be here, then please return!"

The older woman rolled her eyes and sighed, "you are making a mistake here, we are here to help her out..."

Before Irisa or Nancy could blinked another girl had branched out of the group with a dagger in her arm, she swiftly stabbed the soldier next to her on his neck making sword fly out, a fight ensued making Nancy panic.

"Lord!" Irisa whispered, their fight was not yet over, she did not know where those women came from but they looked trained, the way they moved in unison as if they have been training for that mission for months.

Irisa watched as the guards struggled to fight off the girls, they were able to take out almost all of them Irisa knew that it was going to be impossible, those girls were trained fighters and even with her skills she would not be able to take more than one of them.

"M'lady! We have to leave this place now! This is a trap!" Nancy said panicked, Irisa calmly looked around the room as the struggle continued between her guards and the women.

She grabbed Nancy looking around, there must be a way out of here, how did they get in so fast? Something must be wrong somewhere. Before they could move anywhere, the guards were on the floor and they had no where to escape.

Irisa stared at them worrying who they were and why they suddenly we're after her life, the older woman pointed her sharp sword at her making Nancy flinch, she held Nancy behind her moving very cautiously.

"You shall meet your end today Princess!" the woman screamed before taking actions, Irisa managed to dodged the edge of the sword but it cut through her clothes, she pushed Nancy to another direction trying to get as little damage as possible, she had no weapons and the women were all coming in on her. How would she get out of that kind of fight alive.
