A princess's trip in the forest

She lays down and goes to sleep.

Rhys returns and sits on the outside of the door before falling asleep as well.

She wakes up as the king comes by.

Rhys is gone again and the king walks in. "how are you doing my child"

"Good."

where is the man i had guarding you.

"He's here just not right here."

did the elves tell you what was wrong?

"They said I'm either with child or sick by chance."

he lets out a deep throaty luagh "That is not possible you havent been with any body so your sick by chance"

"Time will tell, right?"

he stops luaghing. "judging from what you just said you implied you have share your body with someone who is he."

"What will you do if I told you?"

you have havent you. tell me who stole you and ill have their head.

"No."

if that is so then why did you imply it. was it Rhys the guard?

"No."

A tear runs down her face as she looks at the doorway.

i stole her in the woods before we came back to the castle. Rhys walks in and sits down looking ashamed.

She remains speechless as she tries to talk.

"you know the punishment for this crime?" yes. "then why did you?" becuse i wanted to. "very well Guards take him to the dungeon to await beheading at dawn."

"No!"

the guards arrive and he walks with them to the dungeon in chains

"No...." she keeps repeating.
