I still can't believe! I really can't believe, I am living my dream! I am currently on my beautiful white royal horse and Sarah beside is on her horse and we are riding to Cairo.
For the first time in my life, I am out of those boring palace walls. When we were sneaking out I was scared to death but decided not to show.
Our plan was perfect and successful. As it was almost mid night then, everyone in the palace was asleep and royal guards were distracted by Sarah. So it was perfect timing for me to sneak out and here I am.
Looking at stars riding on my horse in a deserted area, it feels perfect just like my dream. Sarah beside me is the only source of confidence, without her I don't know what I'll do.
And the atmosphere and the sky is clear, the stars are perfectly aligned looks like this night is perfect. Perfect for a new start of my life.
Finally I got my freedom! It might only be for a night but still.. its more than enough for me right now.
"Zahra?.. look over there"
Sarah says, snapping me out of my deep thoughts.
I look at the direction, she is pointing towards just to find lights and little bit of crowd signing we finally reached Cairo.I can't believe it's my life's first visit to another kingdom and I chose Cairo, the most hated and our rival kingdom just because of caste which I eventually don't believe in.
I am dressed in one of my casual attires other than my royal gowns, which hopefully won't lead any suspicion towards me and I have covered my face with a almost transparent cloth which still does it works to hide my face and only display my eyes with my hair slightly tied back. I hope I look like a normal visitor.
Me and Sarah ride closer to Cairo when my eyes explore the kingdom as we enter it. No doubt its the most successful kingdom right now. I have heard a lot of bad things about Cairo being the princess of Suez but still can't deny the truth that Cairo is a kingdom of victory and development.
I wonder how the royal family is of Cairo..
Me and Sarah chat a bit as we enter Cairo and start riding inside the kingdom. I can't wait to discover more about this kingdom.
I eventually am attracted to this kingdom I don't why?.. I don't how?.. but I am not in a mood to look for answers either..
