The Sleepover

Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ １６

Rayyana and this mystery girl had been walking for hours now. Wherever this cave was, it was far away from the palace.

"How much longer?" Rayyana groaned out biting back the pain she had in her leg, increasing by every step. "Not too long, I see the flag from here." The girl said pointing to where the flag was indeed showing.

"Oh thank goodness." Rayyana muttered walking a bit faster. Mystery girl still hadn't given up her name or anything really about her. Rayyana had decided to trust this girl for now, hoping she wouldn't end up a murderer.

"So, how do you know Alejandro again?" The girl asked hadn't mentioned Alejandro again until now. Last time Rayyana had mentioned Alejandro the girl had froze and attacked her so she tried staying clear of that topic.

"uh, Im his wife's servant." Rayyana cringed at the word sevent, maid was equally as worse. "Oh? Which one? Sunflower or Titan Arum?" That peeked Rayyana's interest. She didn't know when Alejandro got married to the sisters but based on their age it shouldn't be that long ago. "His new wife, Alejandro."

The girl whipped around "New wife? But hes not allowed to do that." Rayyana raised her eyebrow at that "One of the sisters told me they're allowed 14 wifes or husbands." The girl bursted out laughing "and you believed that?!"

Rayyana felt stupid, of course she had her doubts at first but the sisters were good at convincing Rayyana. "How many are you allowed?"

"two." Oh, so it seems Alejandro was breaking his own rule. "No divorces allowed either." The girl clarified. Another reason to get Alejandro off the throne, man did this king have many flaws. "So what he's doing it right now is illegal? Thats absuing the crowns power, isnt he." The girl smirked, and thats when Rayyana knew that the girl was waiting for her to recognize this fact.

"Who are you?" Rayyana asked again hoping this time the girl would answer. But she just smiled and said "Look alive, we're in town square." Rayyana blinked, feeling the tiredness hitting her at once.

She also felt relief at the sight of town square, Shakespeare's statue still standing tall and proud. Rayyana straightened up ignoring everyone's stares at her.

"Oh my god." Someone whispered. It had only been a week, did it really affect these people that much? The girl and Rayyana walked faster towards the palace until they made it to the big doors.

"OPEN THE DOOR!" Rayyana yelled. The man who controlled the doors peeked over from the top of his tower, his eyes widening. "NO!" He yelled back.

"THE FUCK YOU MEAN NO? OPEN THE DOOR." Rayyana didn't understand why everyone was being so weird. "Hey it's okay, I know a place." The girl motioned for Rayyana to follow who did but not before glaring at the man who was still staring at them.

The girl and Rayyana walked to the back of the palace, where conveniently a window was open. Huh...this seemed familiar.

"Squeeze through." The girl said. Jumping up and squeezing swiftly in through the opening. Rayyana sighed preparing herself and tried to squeeze through but she was just too big.

"Come on!" The girl grabbed Rayyana's arm and pulled her forward. She pulled harder and finally Rayyana fit through the squeezing huffing and panting.

"God damn, maybe after this you might want to hit the gym?" The girl laughed at Rayyana who rolled her eyes and got up. They were in the staff kitchen which was thankfully empty.

The girl motioned for Rayyana to follow her again, seriously Rayyana wasn't liking this motioning bullshit, but she followed anyway. They snuck past the guards and made it just to the throne room.
