Royal Escape

"Release me at once!" Was shouted throughout the dim night.
"Death is your only friend now, thief!" An enraged voice countered and sent chills down any bystander's spine.
"If it weren't for my sword being stripped from my side, your head would be rolling on the very ground that you stand upon." It sounded of no threat, but a promise made by the thief.
As I neared the small clearing, the light from the torches burned my poorly adjusted sight. When my vision was finally suitable, I witnessed the thief was indeed a man, his teeth gritted with rage. Though his eyes, the storm within them captivated me so. No man such as he could be labeled as that, especially when his eyes screamed his innocence.
"That will be enough." I called out to all those to hear. All cheers, all arguing seized at that moment as they turned to whomever interrupted.
"Your Highness." The voice in the crowd was but a whisper, but everyone heard it's ring. Then, his eyes met mine. My breath hitched from his intensity.
