King Alec Leonidas
Gabriella and I stayed up all night to come up with an elaborate plan to get in and out of the castle without starting a riot or ending up dead, we figured out an exit strategy that I've been replaying in my head over and over again. Now I'm here, my mind has gone blank.
Most of my men where behind the bushes and trees hiding until my signal, I walked over to the castle with five of my men which had their armour on under their clothing. We all looked like common men, I hoped.
A couple of the men guarding the entrance stared at me. This wasn't much of a surprise to me though since I had experienced this every time I travelled. I really couldn't blame them though since I've been told that I looked like I haven't held a sword my whole life, it was probably because I had no visible scars on my face like most men or the fact that my hair is always shiny and black. Nobody wants to have a king who can't take care of himself.
"This is the castle of the half moon, who the fuck are you foreigner?"
"What makes you think I'm a foreigner?" I asked taking a step closer while my men stayed behind me closely
"Don't meet a lot of people that look like you in these parts, freshly shaven you look like a newborn baby to me." He says while the huge men behind him laugh.
the fact that they all looked like their face had a beaten and mine didn't probably isnt considered the norm in this place, these men or hybrids are savages, they are designed or one thing and one thing only.
Killing.
"I'll take that as a compliment" I nodded, I looked in the corner of my eye as I see Gabriella running behind them. I hope they don't turn around or else it's game over.
"So where you boys from?" I heard a mumble the bold man on the left asks me with his arms crossed..
"Were just here for the masquerade ball. We've travelled a long way for it."
"You traveled along way for some pussy?" He asked unsure
"I have heard that the women in this castle are the most stunning and pleasurable of them all and we are men after all, we have needs" I say lightly scratching the back of my neck
"I respect that." He mumbles
"Zeno!" I heard a shout from behind the man, three of them turned around fast and went on the knees.
I turned to my men and nodded, following their actions we also went on one knee, a women approached with long blonde hair, she wore a yellow dress that hugged her body a small mask covering her face.
"Princess, what are you doing out here?" The man spoke softly
"My stupid half brother has run away, I think he went into the freaking woods, get him will you." She said shaking her head in disbelief "preferably alive."
Two men stood up and ran, and the one in the middle stayed. She nodded at him and he stood, before she turned around and walked away she looked down at us.
"Why are the guests outside in the cold?" She asked him
"They are foreigners who want to party, your family doesn't know of these men. I will get rid of them."
