The Sleeping Prince

Chapter 3

    Inside the tent, Skull and Kilic still remain tied up as they waited. Kilic keep on insisting him of telling their mission. And wondered if the young lady they met might the one.

"I doubt it." Skull opposes the idea. But knows what he's expecting. "She's too stubborn and won't believe our word. She'll consider its nothing but a fairy tale."

"But we won't know unless we try." Kilic proposed.

Skull sighed before he replied. "We're her prisoners." He reminded his companion.

"Right," Kilic almost forgotten. Until he realized. "Can you use your magic?"

"Much as I want," Skull heavily breath. "But it'll only bring more suspect for them. So, we'll wait."

Kilic want to speak more, but the sound of footsteps caught their attention.

"Sounds like the solders are coming." Skull implied.

"Could be." he agrees with him. Then became worried. "Is that a good thing? Or, a bad thing?"

"No clue." Skull admits as he tries to still strong. "Still confidence, Kilic. You might need it."

Kilic nervously gulped. Soldiers appear as they push aside the sheet and walked behind them as drag them up.

"Let's go, you two." One of the soldier demanded. "The princess wants to meet you both."

Without hesitating, they walk.

Outside the tent. Darlene sharping her sword, waited for the guards to bring the two trespassers. She hopes they could shed some light on this war.

"I hope I'm right." she said to herself, finishing sharpening her blade. And look at her reflection in her sword.

Sheltered her blade back inside, Darlene walks. But bump into someone. Someone she doesn't want to encounter.

"Asassuil!" Darlene hissed. "What do you want?!"

"Can't a guy say 'hello' to his ex-fiance?" Asassuil responded. "Plus, I want to see if you've change your mind."

Darlene sighed. Nothing surprise her.

"No, Asassuil!" she retorted. "My decision remains. I will meet and ask some question that need answers. I won't allow you threat or torture those trespassers without my permission. Understand?!"

Darlene gave a serious but frighten stare in her eyes. But it didn't stop her ex-fiancee.

"Interrogate is for strong man, like myself." Asassuil explained. "Not for princess."

Asassuil realizes what he says. He soon regrets after Darlene gives him where the sun will not shine with a kick.

"Next time; choose your words wisely before you want to exchange words with me."

Darlene passes him as she heads inside. And begin interrogation of the two prisoners.

Skull and Kilic were pushed to the ground by the guards.

"Well, that's good manners," Kilic bend his knees as he sits. "Got any clue why we're here, Skull?"

"I'm in no mood to answer your question," Skull hissed. "Where are we, now?!"

"In the interrogation Room." she answers his question.

They turn, seeing Darlene sitting on some kind of throne. She crosses her legs as she places her hands and arms on the armchair. "Now, it's time for answers."
