Knowing a Hidden Character

**********

Hillary was huffing out of breath from all the chasing and hiding after being found out sneaking suspiciously.

She was supposed to successfully slipped away from the Second Prince bedroom, unnoticed by anyone. Unfortunately, she was spotted by the surrounding guards that stood at attention along the hallways of the Forest Castle. Like what human instinct would do, Hillary ran away while being chased by several guards. It was fortunate enough for her to leave the castle unharmed after wandering around every corners and nooks of the said place before locating the exit gate.

Amidst the crowds of common folks doing their business outside the main castle, Hillary tried to blend herself to the populace in order to hide from her pursuers. In a few minutes, she managed to lure them away from her original location.

I have to find the way out of this Realm. If my memory is right, then, the portal should be right where the little fairies are abundant...

Buried with her own thoughts, Hillary did not notice someone following her from behind at a certain distance.

"Reporting to your Highness, Crown Prince..." A guard kneeled with one leg while head bowed in front of a man wearing a red robe whom was seating leisurely on the dragon throne.

"Report..." His alluring bedroom voice echoed around the four corners of the room, making the maidservants who were standing at one side to blush while having ambiguous and wild thoughts.

"Your Highness, the destined Crown Princess was seen by several guards sneaking around the Forest City. The nobles and the common folks were astonished by her sudden appearance in our realm. No one knows of her identity yet aside from the trusted subordinates of Your Highness. Second Prince Rio is tailing her as of the moment. Waiting for your orders, Your Highness..."

The Crown Prince previous laid back facial expression suddenly turned a subtle change. He did not like the idea of Second Prince Rio getting any contact with his woman. Though Crown Prince Matt had a lot of women in his harem, his heart since he was still a child had been long set and longing for the destined one whom will be his rightful partner and other half according to the proclaim prophecy of their realm. His brother Rio can touched anyone except this one for he had already staked a claim to her. The Old Tree of Forest Prophecy had marked a claim to her as the future Crown Princess and surely, Matt will not let anyone take her away from him. Not even that bodyguard of hers.
