Anamaria

Chapter Twenty Five

Anamaria

"Anabeth, where are you going?" I asked my little sister as she tip toe to the door.

She frown and turn to face me, "you caught me."

Ever since last night at the Royal dinner, Anabeth has been acting strange lately. Aunt arrived when I was with Princess Pamela at the garden. When we went back to the dinning room, they were making joke about Ravernica.

I pretended not to care as Prince Pamela and I took a seat.

"What did you two talked about?" The Queen asked us.

"Stuff," the princess said, revealing her smile. It's good to get it out of her. She curved her lip at me as the servants came back with desert.

The princess gasp, "my favorite!" As she started to eat the desert.

I play with my fork and smile with her. Prince Dillion gave me a nod as he looked at his beautiful sister.

The rest of the night were amazing, Princess Pamela was feeling much better. I have always thought that she wasn't a good person. I guess I was wrong.

From our conversation last night, I wondered who was her old lover? Why is he getting marry? Is he a Prince or is he a citizen, perhaps a villager?

No one knows.

"Anamaria?!" My sister yelled at me.
"You space out on me!"

"Sorry, Anabeth. Now tell me where you're going?"

She frown, "I wanted to say goodbye."

"To who?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Prince Harper."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I want to say goodbye to him before it's too late," she finished softly.

"Too late for what?" I demand, I don't like raising my voice at my sister but what does she know that I don't.

Her deep black eyes bore into mine, "the war."

I can literally feel my heart stopped. "The war is today, why don't you tell me, Anabeth."

Anabeth put her hand up in the air, "this is why I don't tell you and actually, last night Ravernica invaded to Drysdale village in the northern and set the village on fire."

I can feel my hands clutch into a fist. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry.

"Let me go with you," I said as I made my way out and ran to the stable. Anabeth followed from behind, I feed Lighting some Hayes before I hop on her back. Anabeth hop on her horse's back  as we rode with speed to the castle.

As we got to the castle, I quickly hop off Lighting as the servant came to greet us.

"Do you need to see the princess, my lady?" I shook my head.

Anabeth spoke up, "where the Prince?" Anabeth asked rudely.

The servant struggle to speak, before he was about to speak. A voice interrupted him.
