To Keep Her Safe

CHAPTER FIFTY TWO

Freen knew that Becca would be furious with her once she finds out the truth so she sneaked from behind when the king was discussing the situation with his daughter, Freen grabbed tightly onto Jimmy's reins and nudged the horse to walk with her.

" Shh.... Jimmy... Please be quiet ". Freen whispered in the horse's ear and as Jimmy would have understood her every word, the horse gave Freen a slight nudge from his head and allowed his master to drag him wherever she desired.

Freen hadn't gotten far away when Becca's angry voice reached her ears, Freen looked back and saw her lover walking towards her, with her jaw clenched and her hands fisted at her sides, Freen shivered in fear.

' Damn it ! If the king wasn't serious about keeping it a secret, he should have told me before I dug my own grave '. Freen wondered when she saw that Rebecca was approaching her with a deadly intent of beating her to pulp.

" Freen !!! ". Rebecca yelled, this was when Freen dropped Jimmy's reins and apologized to her loving horse and ran away. " I am so sorry, Becca ". Freen raised up her hands in defeat but she eventually ran away as she was scared of Rebecca and what she might do, her feet picked up pace like never before.

" Stop running away right now ! ". Becca demanded as she picked up her dress and chased after Freen, she huffed when she went pass Jimmy who was just standing where Freen left him. " I am sorry, Becca, please forgive me ". Freen shouted back, she had no intention of slowing down, thinking that if Becca caught her, she will give her every reason to go down on her knees, hold her ears and apologize.

" You liar ". Becca yelled as Freen was getting away from her, Freen had entered the palace now as she was trying to get away but Becca was following her, she was somehow keeping up with Freen and her running speed. " I swear Becca, your father asked me to do it ". Freen replied, for a moment she looked back to see if Becca's reaction changed after she said that but no, it was still an angry cat running after her.

" Becca... I am so sorry ". Freen was desperately trying to apologise, hoping that Becca would calm down first so they could have a proper conversation. " We will talk once you slow down ". Becca angrily yelled and Freen shook her head, there was no way that she would believe those words, Becca was just trying to get a hold of Freen as she was getting tired of running.

Freen saw a group of maids approaching towards her, Becca was at her tail, with a deep breath, Freen approached the maids. " I am sorry ". She apologized to the maids before she crashed into them as she was unable to stop in time, the maids let out a scream in fear as they thought Freen was an intruder as she had a sword with her.

" Freen stop right now ". Then came Becca's voice who was chasing after her, the maids shared a look and then sighed, thinking that it must be one of Princess's friends. Becca was already getting tired of running, now she regrets not continuing with her training when Freen left, if she had she would have been in good shape to keep up with Freen right now.

Freen entered an empty room to escape Becca but becca entered after her. " I am so sorry love ". Freen raised her hands up to protect herself, Becca huffed in anger, she grabbed a fruit from the table close to the door and threw it at Freen, which she dodged.

" Why would you do that to me ? ". Becca stated, Freen sighed and was about to reply when Becca took a step towards to catch her. Freen was on the other side of the large table which was placed in the center of the room she had entered, when she saw Becca a step towards her, she took one in opposite direction.

" You.... ". Becca scowled when she saw Freen moving, she picked up her dress once again and ran after her. Soon the couple was running in circles around the table with Freen ahead of Becca and Becca trying to chase her. " I told you I am sorry ". Freen said, hoping that Becca would relax and try to understand her.
