The Legend of Fatality

"Collect your things. We are leaving," Catherine said to her maids when she entered the room.

Nia and Jane locked the door, forcing Catherine to knock three times before opening the door. Catherine took the servants out of her room and hurried through the noisy castle, although no one stopped them. Sir Roland went to prepare the horses.

Now they stood in the living room, pale.

"But where are you going, Highness?" Jane asked. "Not going back to Bill Barry?"

"No, never go back," Catherine replied. "The Novin family attacked King Charles and many other nobles. Some people were already dead. King Charles was also injured."

Catherine hesitated and continued. "The prince said that we are in danger here. Sir Roland is going to take us to the north of Betford or Somerset. Prince Lotel said it will protect us. But I think if there is danger here, we should Go to King Charles before his army leaves. "

But what about Lotel himself? Who is going to attack Lancasterburg at this time?

Catherine forced herself to dispel doubts, but faced the problem she had always been afraid of.

"What about Prince Lotel? Isn't he going with us?"

Catherine was speechless for a while. Then she drove them out with a hoarse voice.

"I don't know, he said let us leave first."

Nia and Jane started working directly and made small packages for Catherine and themselves. Catherine made sure she was wearing jewelry. Since she does not have enough gold coins in her hand, she knows that they may need to use it to trade on the road.

After a while, Sir Roland returned with a white-haired man, and a guard of the castle, which the prince sent to her before leaving.

The guard stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, we must hurry. The captain of the defense told me that he didn't know how long he could delay. I had a horse waiting outside the castle. There was a tunnel that only a few people knew. His Royal Highness let me get there Take you away. "

Catherine nodded, indicating that she understood.

Nia put Catherine's cloak on her shoulders, and she and Jane picked up their bags. Catherine took a last look at her room, wondering if she would return. Even in their hurry, she did not forget the irony of this matter. For a long time, she has been afraid to see Lotel. Now she is away from him, and now she is worried about it. But only then can she and her maid be safe.

They set off, instead of walking crested as Catherine imagined, but walked boldly and quickly, through the room and the side door, all the way to the quieter corridor, only to meet two servants, they hurried Go to one side, and then follow this team.

They came to the platform, where Catherine spoke to Lotel for the first time. It was only a few days ago, but it felt like it happened many years ago. Once outside, the prince's guards began to check whether the route was clear. They waited silently. She realized that Sir Roland was standing beside Catherine, protecting her with his body. She was n’t sure if it was necessary, but she could n’t deny feeling good with him. Nia and Jane started. The two of them were pale and terrified. Catherine made a strong gesture and Nia smiled reluctantly.

Soon, the prince's guard appeared at the far end of the terrace and beckoned to them. They started moving again, but at a faster speed, almost through the path of the rose garden, to the water garden, and then down the steep stone steps to a wooden door hidden behind a branch of a large bush.

The prince's guard walked ahead, Sir Roland grabbed Catherine's hand, and the dark tunnel hid them. The soldier at the front lit a lantern, but apart from the faint light showing how low the stone roof was, it did not help them find their way. Fortunately, the ground is very flat and looks paved, but it is getting steeper.

Catherine tripped over Sir Roland's boots. He said, "His Royal Highness, it will be easier for us to walk side by side." He wrapped her arms around her shoulders and pulled her to his side. Catherine had never felt a man so close to her, her pulse beat even more.

After a while, they walked into a cobbled alley. The prince's guard turned and seemed surprised to see Sir Roland holding Catherine, but before he could speak, Sir Roland suddenly screamed and pushed Catherine away.

Two drooling monsters jumped from the upper wall, one fell beside the prince's guard, and the other fell in front of Sir Roland. The two monsters were tangled in their limbs and stumbled to the ground. Catherine leaned against the wall at the entrance of the tunnel, her back against Nia and Jane. Sir Roland drew a long knife from his jacket, and struck the monster wrestling with the prince's guard with amazing speed and power.

The prince's guard took the opportunity to roll aside, but the monster attacking him stood up until its head was cut off by Sir Roland. The other saw that his companion was dead, and it climbed back to the wall where it jumped. It stood at the wall and turned to face Catherine with a threatening growl. Niya yanked Catherine back into the tunnel. Then she heard a cry of pain. She wanted to be an attacker, but she could see that the prince's guard had fallen to his knees.

Catherine grabbed Nia tightly and tried not to scream.

Sir Roland was with him. He looked up at Catherine and shook his head. Catherine walked to the prince's guard and knelt beside him, holding his hand, but his eyes were still motionless.

Sir Roland looked up at the wall and said to one of the soldiers. "One of them ran away to see if you could catch him. We will wait here."

The soldier nodded and quickly climbed up the wall and disappeared.

They waited silently. Jane cried and hugged Nia. Catherine still leaned over the body of the prince's guard.

"What is this?" Catherine turned and asked the monster's body.

"Ghoul, Your Highness." Sir Roland replied solemnly.

"Did these things make us run away?" Catherine continued to ask.

"No, Your Highness. I don't think so." Sir Roland hesitated ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ explained. "A monster like a ghoul will not let Lotel order that the ladies run away. There must be something more dangerous."

When Catherine wanted to continue to ask, the soldier came back. He jumped gently and shook his head. "I saw that thing far away in front of me. I couldn't catch it. It escaped."

Sir Roland turned to Catherine. "We have to go on. This is not far from the horse. Sorry, we have to leave this jazz's body here. We can't help him now."

Catherine nodded. There will be time to mourn him later. Sir Roland grabbed her hand again, and they continued to run with the remaining guards. They walked along the alleys one after another and kept spinning until they lost all sense of direction. Catherine's heart pounded, and she felt like she was going to collapse, but she still walked forward daringly, and they walked into a yard-there are horses!

There were more people standing with them, most of them ladies in the castle, and some knights with gray hair were commanding loudly, and there were only a few guards.

Sir Roland guarded Catherine behind her and took her the last ten steps; she followed him closely and looked over his shoulder, realizing that they had gone out of the castle ’s walls and the castle ’s central tower was high, but Very far away. Sir Roland carried her on horseback and she had to make him do it.

He jumped on his horse. "Please come close to me, Your Highness. We will not stop because of anything." After he finished, he set off quickly.

Catherine looked around quickly. Jane and Nia were already on the horse, so Catherine kicked her horse. They ran behind Sir Roland and ran across the street, and the soldiers of Prince Lothal shouted to make way.
