~Last time~

"I'm not that white." I said, making her laugh out loud.

The night ended with my feet hurting and me getting the nickname Ghost Cat.

~Now~

The king and his knights had been in the kingdom for three days, as they usually spend an entire week here.

"It is unusually quiet today, is it not?" Jazair asked, looking at all the books in the library.

Him and I were alone, while my ladies and his knights chose to spar in the training room.

"Of course. We are the only ones in here with so many books." I said, standing to find a book of my own to read.

"I suppose with so many books it would seem very quiet. What are your plans for next month?" he asked, moving to stand next to me.

"Uhmm...paperwork and dealing with another king who loves to visit." I said, reaching for a book before whipping my hand across the cover.

"Ah, King Sellon. Sehthi told me that you mentioned him visiting." Jazair said, nodding his head and looking at the book it was holding.

"Telban Shath. It's one of my favorite books." I said, going to sit in one of the seats.

"White Wing. Sounds like a fairy tail." he said, moving to sit next to me.

"It is. It's the only fairy tail I ever remember my mom reading to me." I said, smiling sadly as I opened the book.

The castle shook a little causing me to look up from the book.

"Earthquake?" Jazair asked, standing up and going towards the window.

"MOVE FROM THE WINDOW!" Cymberly yelled, running through the doors.

"Why?" I asked, standing from my seat before the ground shook again.

"The kingdom is under attack. We need to get you two down bellow. It's not safe up here."she said, grabbing my hand.

"Let's go." Jazair said, walking towards us and grabbing my hand as well.

"Why again?...Why now?" I mumbled, being pulled from the library.

Cymberly and Jazair continued to hold onto me until we were underground, a safe place in the castle that Adalair had made in case we got attacked again.
