The sound of pouring rain on the next morning awoke Rey. She could only sleep for a few hours and planned on letting Leia know about her upcoming execution. Sir Ren and General Hux had this planned for a while and only used her to get to Stewjon. If it wasn't for Hux, Rey would have never imagined the cruel reality expecting her. Rey wanted to slap Ren across his face, insult him in front of his army. The jerk could at least tell her the truth and be honest. The way he looked at her last night was different and softer. However, behind that mask, was a manipulative knight. Walking towards the mirror, her eyes looked swollen from all the crying last night. She also slept with her green dress and headpiece on. Once again, her long hair was all messy so Rey let it fall freely. Looking around the room, there wasn't any paper to write a letter. This infuriated Rey as she opened drawers and looked under the bed. Leia and the others had the right to know about her fate even though it would shred the queen's heart into pieces.
Sword clashing against each other suddenly caught the handmaiden's attention. Rey walked to the window and moved the curtains aside to see Sir Ren sparring with two other men dressed quite similarly. They were wearing iron masks while their long swords clashed against Ren's darker one. He was truly skillful and his moves menacing against his opponents. Rey tried to take her sight away from his strong bare arms since he was wearing a sleeveless black tunic. His black hair was all wet, sticking to his face but not blocking his vision.
Perhaps that's the sword he'll use to kill me... Rey thought sadly.
They paused the sparring to catch their breath. Luckily, the rain eased his muscles and didn't exhaust them. Ren then felt someone was watching and lifted up his gaze to Rey's room. There she was, staring back at him from the window. She gasped and pulled the curtains back together disappearing from his sight.
"Sire, shall we continue?" One knight of Ren asked his master.
One corner of his mouth slowly lifted, never taking his eyes off the window. "Yes, dangerous battles await us. Prepare your weapons, gentlemen."
Rey's heart raced fast. Every time their eyes locked this would happen. Those dark, mysterious eyes mesmerize and intrigue the handmaiden. But why? She was supposed to despised Ren after all he has done to her. Not only that but he was going to get rid of her soon according to the general. They were also leaving the fortress that evening so Rey began preparing herself mentally to face the dark warrior once again.
King Snoke's castle was located in the farther regions. Crait was a cold kingdom where just a few villagers lived. Their king was very wealthy and extravagant only caring about his realm. He offered huge celebrations inside his castle every night which was heavily guarded by red centinels. These royal guards had their own types of weapons which many feared. Snoke called them his special assassins ready to take on those who threatened the old king.
"Your Highness, the spy is here." One royal courtier told the king who quickly composed himself in his rock throne chair.
"Bring her here," Snoke ordered, impatient to know any news regarding Ren's army.
The woman approached the king with a smirk on her face. She bowed to him before talking. "I have some news for you, my king."
"Excellent," Snoke said leaning forward, "Tell me, what do we know about the Knights of Ren?"
"So far what the drunken fool told me. I slept with the man they called Ren last night but then he kept mentioning about these plans with a girl..."
Snoke's forehead furrowed as his attention got caught, "Girl? Who might that be?"
The woman took a few steps closer, "Ren and his men are heading to Stewjon and apparently, this girl belongs to a powerful family in there."
But of course. Duchess Satine was the former ruler and a lot of aristocratic families live there. Ren must want to conquer Stewjon just like he has done with other towns. "What about General Hux? Is he aware of this?"
"He was the one who hired me to seduce Sir Ren." The woman answered with a smirk on her features. "The red-haired will expect you there to ambush the master of the knight of Ren."
"Perfect. My troops will head to Stewjon and meet the convoy there. It's time to make the grandson of King Anakin pay for what the old king did to him ages ago." Snoke vowed to savor the moment that happens.
The whore glared at the king of Crait expecting more from him. "...Where's my reward?"
"There's no reward for the likes of you, my dear." He answered with an evil tone in his voice.
Three guards appeared, holding the woman by force. "Ugghh!! Disgusting pig! Liar!" She screamed out of her lungs.
Snoke laughed at this and ordered the men to behead the woman out in one of the caves. They obeyed and took her away from the king's presence. Snoke enjoyed using others for his own purposes. He fed on the pain and suffering of others. Weak people like her weren't allowed to live in this world, only stronger ones like him only.
Ren's army was ready to leave the fortress and store all their weapons and belongings in each carriage. It was getting dark, so it was better to leave soon. The horses were outside, waiting for Ren and Hux. After a while, Ren and the general exited the fortress putting on their gloves. The Knights of Ren would follow on their horses until arriving at their next stop. Each one of them wearing their iron masks. The soldiers feared them as they were extremely loyal to their master. Ren mounted his horse and then saw how Rey was taking inside the carriage.
"Untie her hands," Ren said to the soldiers escorting her. "This time, she will travel on a horse."
The two men looked at each other and Hux at Ren. "But sir.."
"Do as I say!" He hissed, turning his horse to them furiously. "Unless it's necessary to unsheath my sword and teach a lesson!"
Rey glanced up in surprise. He was giving her some freedom by riding a horse now. One soldier grabbed her hands and cut the thick rope around them. Another man brought up a beige colored horse and helped Rey mount it.
"First you gave her a spare room, let her had dinner, and now... now you're letting her mount freely beside us! What if she escapes, Ren?" Hux argued as Rey mockingly smiled at him.
"Miss Kenobi won't do that," Ren answered, glaring at Rey and the beauty she possessed. "I trust her."
This made Rey give a half smile. For someone who was supposed to kill her, Ren was acting differently. She positioned the horse behind his dark stallion.
"Let's move now!"
The convoy began their journey. Hux was sure about two things: The prostitute must have told King Snoke about their destination and second, this was going to be the last time Ren would see and use his fortress. All of it would be promised to him.
