Chapter Fifteen:
Rescued?
************************************
Cleo isn't near as goodie two shoes as I'd initially thought. The way she killed that fairy… and how she's treated the boys… well I'm impressed she even shoved them toward the touch lights. If that had been thefts or monsters they surely would have ended up sacrifices.
The boys and cleos let their guards down way too easily…
While our saviors Have fed us and seem keen on protecting us… something is very wrong they Hesitantly gave us made-up names…
The boys squealed like little girls when Cleo Shoved them. The two men who caught them grabbed them by their Shirts before tossing them and drawing their swords.
They completely ignored us while their group circled around us like we were bait for a trap or something.
When they finally decided there was no one hiding in the forest. They awkwardly introduced themselves and they kept catching Themselves. almost calling each other by names different from what they told us.
The mages of their group made a teleportation circle while we slept. When I woke up my fear was confirmed. I felt extremely drowsy and Fatigued we were locked in what appeared to be a storage room.
Wooden crates were stacked around the room with random junk littered around them. All I could seem to do was let out a whimpering cry. It was followed by 3 separate yet similar Noises.
A bit of relief flooded into my chest. Just knowing Cleo and the boys were at least still alive was a huge relief.
From what I could see of the things around us I decided they were in fact adventures. Nothing among their storage seemed illegal. And from the effects of what they used on us. It seems they used shadow mushrooms. Which tells me they don't do this often.
While it is effective it wears off in about 12 hours. Most smugglers/ slavers use an illegal herb that more or less is just insanely addictive while making you easily disoriented.
Why do I know this? Well, remember when I knock over the bookcases teaching myself defensive Magic. I also researched those that I could one day run into after running away.
Scariness aside I'm still not sure what exactly they want with us. Could they be holding a grudge against the royal family…
Like I said, Cleo and the boys let their guards down way too easily.
“Oh yeah I'm the crown princess and this is my sister, the other princess and this is my cousins.” honestly I think it was Nolan that said something to that effect. But I was so annoyed I couldn't pay attention to who said what.
*Footsteps and yelling/ laughter*
*Door slowly creaking open*
“Oh princesses, and brave prince's good news you are going to get to go home,” a chorus of different voices said together. Out of sync so it sounded like a poorly practiced routine for a play or something.
*Snickering and laughter *
“2 million gold what a score,” the one that seemed to be their leader said excitedly.
We were little in the way of care. One of them picked me up and tossed me on their shoulder.
I couldn't see anything while on his shoulder and he threw me into the wagon. I ended up under Cleo and the boys as they carelessly tossed them in on top of me.
Luckily one of them realized I was struggling to breathe before I crooked. And rearranged us.
“That better princess… or is it my lady pardon my ignorance? Us regular folk never learned proper etiquette or whatnot.” He laughed half-heartedly.
Soon enough the mushrooms started to wear off. Though we're still tied up at least I was able to finally sit up. It wasn't long before I recognized Where we were. It's the same path we'd previously been on before the dragons took us. Only were heading towards the Lily palace.
Or we'll we were… not long after I recognize the path. They turned down a trail heading away from the lily palace. the frequently ran across monsters.
“Another one…” their leader who was driving the wagon groaned.
“Speed it up you worthless trash, they are merely C and D class monsters.” He yelled in frustration.
About the time the sun began to set I recognized the structures and city wall up ahead from my studies. The capital I gasped.
“So much for a 2-day trip or whatever” I muttered.
There was a caravan with a wagon from the royal family and hundreds of royal knights standing outside the gates.
It seems our adventures/ captures were overly confident.
After the wagon came to a stop there was a flash of activity. The utter silence and a lack of movement. A man with Cleo's eyes and a woman with our hair now stood over us and the adventures had all fallen.
They both sighed as if disappointed. Before becoming annoyed by the others' sighs.
“Get the princesses to safety and interrogate the boys.” The man said in a booming voice before disappearing.
The lady looked down into my eye before quickly looking away almost looking guilty before disappearing in a similar flash to the man…
I'm so annoyed it is not funny. It is clear who they were and while I really don't care about i . Cleo looks heartbroken which for some reason makes me angry!
They could've at least introduced themselves….
I Hope You Enjoyed
