"Olivia!" I heard Linden say to me as I walked down the corridor.

"Yes?" I smiled and turned around slowly.

"We need you to stay in your room" He spoke and walked away, expecting me to stay where I am.

I sighed and waited until he went. I sneaked downstairs into the court room, where four of the courts men, which sorted out the justice here, were sat on the chairs surrounding a man in the middle. I silently sat down behind one of the chairs opposite to where this man. He had brown hair which was fairly long, but I could not see his face due to his head down to his chest and his hair covering his features. I always come in the court room, when I am not supposed to actually come in. If Morgana (the Witch) new I was in here she would be so mad with me. Reginald, who was one of the law makers, always allowed me to stay in their to watch what was going on and ultimately help him make decisions.

"What happened?" I asked him as I sat beside him, hidden.

"It is the King" He mumbled. "Well ex King. He had escaped but he has been caught again"

"Why is he not leading?" I asked.

"Well-" He began but was cut off by Morgana walking in.

"Crap" I whisper.

I hid behind his chair watching from a small gap.

"My Queen" Reginald spoke as she sat down opposite him on the other side.

She looked down to Caspian and went over to him, throwing his face up so she could look at him.

"Back so soon?" She smirked. "You know we would always find you"

He just looked at her and ignored everything she said.

"But why did you stay so close to the castle when you know you would be easily caught?" She smirked and pushed him back. "You know why I think you did that, Caspian?"

He curled up his fists but could not attack her because he had his arms tied by rope.

"It is because of your little Queen" She smirks near his face. "You cannot bare to be away from her"

He spat at her and kicked her in pure rage.

"Do not dare!" He yelled.

"Well Caspian" she laughed. "She is here and has forgotten all about you!"

"Don't go near her" He growled, threatening her.

"My Queen!" Reginald spoke and she looked up to him.

"He will be sentenced to death!" She yelled to him and went to go walk out of the room.

I gasped and she snapped her head back. Directly to me. I stood up as quickly as I could. That is when I saw his face. I stared at him in the eyes. He was so, perfect. His features were amazing, his brown eyes; hair and then his facial hair which made him look so manly. The man looked back at him and smiled lightly, not stop staring at me, which caused me to blush.

"Olivia!" She snapped and I looked at her. "Why are you here? You know you are forbidden"

She walked to me and grabbed my arm pulling me out of the room. I felt the mans eyes on me as I dragged out of the room by Morgana.

"I am sorry" I looked down. "I did not realise. I will not do it again"

She looked at me and pulled my chin to look at her.

"Do not disobey me Olivia" She snapped. "Got it?"

I nodded my head and she pushed my chin away from her. As I stood there guardsmen came out of the room with the man in their hands, dragging him. I turned and looked at him. Those few seconds of contact made me smile slightly, but it was shortly ripped away when he was dragged to the dungeon and Linden pulling me away from being anywhere near him.

Night fell and I was up all night, contemplating on who that man was and why he was such a huge threat to Morgana. I grabbed my candle and opened my door slowly, peeking my head down the corridor to see if any was awake. Everything seemed so quiet. I put my dressing gown on, which was silk and most beautiful and I quickly grabbed the candle and walked down the corridors and down the stairs to the entrance of the castle. As I looked around to see if anyone was there, my candle blew out. I jumped and saw Morgana walking from the dungeon to her room which was upstairs. I let out a huge sigh and sneaked down to the Dungeon. The dungeon in the castle was not guarded because it was rarely used. I walked down the stairs to were the cell was.

As I crept down I heard him punching the cell bars, obviously wanting to get out. I landed on the last step to see him with his head down continuously hitting the bars.

"You are going to hurt yourself" I smiled, which made his head shoot up.

"You should not be down here" He spoke with no emotion in his voice.

I walked to him and got the keys. I opened the cell doors and grabbed his hands, grabbing a small cloth that was in the sink down in the dungeon, I wiped the blood off his knuckles. He was watching me as I was cleaning him up. As I finished I looked up to see him watching my every move.

"There we go" I smiled and moved away from him slightly.

"Thank you" He smiled and wiped sweat from his forehead.

"Why are you down here?" I asked him and he looked at me.

"You shouldn't be down here" He frowned moving to the corner. "Especially because I am down here."

I frowned at him slightly, then I looked away.

"You are right" I mumbled. "Sorry I tried to help."

I locked the cell then put the keys up about to go up to main entrance.

"Olivia wait" He said and I snapped away quickly.

"How do you know my name?" I asked smiling.

"Um I heard the Witch say it earlier" He stuttered. "But anyway. I am sorry for being rude."

"It is fine" I smiled and started to walk up the stairs. "Um.."

"-Caspian" He spoke interrupting me.

"Caspian" I smiled. "Try not to injure yourself even more. I do not want to have to clean more blood."

With that I left him alone in the cell.

Luckily I did not get caught and managed to go to bed. All I could think about was Caspian for the rest of the night. I smiled and fell asleep.

I need to be careful.
