Against All Odds: The Undying Love

Ch -2 Who?!!

Time passed by as I sat numbly in my thoughts,  thinking about how to sneak out of this hell hole, while my maid combed my hair. I'll need to get out of here but I'll need someone's help.  I can't do it on my own.  But who's... I sighed while thinking about all this.  My maid asked " What's the matter, Princess? " I came out of my thoughts and fake smiled. " nothing" I replied. 

After my hair was combed. I came out of my room for some fresh air.  I was just wandering not being able to figure out where to go. I came to a turn when I suddenly heard someone say "Don't worry, I'll handle it. You just need to kill the princess "

My heart stopped beating and my eyes were just about to pop out. It took me a minute to figure out what was happening. In all this, I accidentally gasped. I was able to hear footsteps approaching me. I hurried back from where I came and locked myself in my room. But still, I don't understand who in the world is trying to do this. Why would someone want to kill me?? And the way he said "Princess" it sent chills down my spine. He said it mockingly. I lay down on my bed.  That voice was still wandering in my head. With these things in my head, I didn't even know when I fell asleep.

" Your Highness wake up for supper"
My maid woke me up. I opened my eyes but soon all the worries came back to me.  I don't know whom I should tell... It's all so confusing and scary to me. But maybe they were not talking about me.  But they said Princess, probably referring to me only I guess.  But I don't know I can't think of anything.  Let's just go for supper.

I got down in the dining hall and bowed to my parents. They nod their head and smiled at me. I was just about to take my first bite when something hit me hard.  What if someone had poised my food,  just so they can kill me?  I just sat there like a sculpture.
I looked at my parents and they were eating peacefully. Maybe I'm just overthinking, no one will do that, right... Eating this might cost me my life.  I silently kept the fork down and spoke in a low voice "I'm not so hungry,  I'll go to sleep.  Good night!"
