Princess Of The North✔

Before she could I raised my hand shooting a blast of cold magic at her feet freezing her in place.

I walked over to her so that I was standing in front of her.

"Tina, tell me the truth, what is wrong?" I asked sternly.

"I have strict orders not to tell you" Tina said shaking her head from side to side.

"From who?" I growled out getting a bit frustrated.

"Lord Rin" came her scared sqeaky response.

"I am just as high and powerful here as my brother so spit it out" I ordered coldly.

I pushed past Tina unfreezing her as I went past.

I ran down the steps to the big front doors. I pushed them open to see a knight standing there.

"Bring me my horse" I yelled. "Yes, Lady Crystal" came his reply as he dashed off to get me my horse.

A few seconds later he returned with my horse beside him.

I hopped on bareback. "Don't fail me now Streak" I said to my horse as I urged him into a run.

I rode for a long time until the Imperial palace started to come into view.

When we reached it I got off Streak, and ran towards the doors.

When I reached them I was stopped by two knights guarding the doors.

"Let me through" I said as I stood in front of them holding my swollen belly.....
