The ice surface isn’t there any more, in fact the entire arena disappeared, instead I found myself in a hallway, or at least that what it looked like, the walls looked old and very high, the hall wasn’t that vast but it was very long, this place looks like a castle, there was a red carpet going probably as long as the hall goes, on my left side there were windows lined up as further as the wall goes , and on my right side there were portraits, each one of them facing a window so that the sunlight coming from the window would hit the floor right beneath that portrait. The portraits were for different men and women, probably an ancient royalty family, based on their clothes, after every two portraits there was a wooden door .what caught my attention was that next to every portrait there was a shelf holding a small status, the thing is that the status were for the same person, only in different positions, I kept walking forwards looking at those status. I stopped observing one of them, it was a status of a man in an a full body armor holding his sword up high with his right hand as if he was giving the sign to his soldiers to attack, I felt a very odd felling in my stomach as I kept staring at that status, I couldn’t stop thinking about this man in the status, the way he stands so proud and brave, it just gave me goosebumps all over my body, as got carried away with my thoughts, I heard one of the doors opening a bit far away for me, but not that far cause I could hear voices, two to be exact, I turned my head quickly in a shock to see who it was, I saw two men coming out of that room, my eyes met the eyes of the one that came out first, they both froze when they saw me, he was handsome, Broun thick hair falling to the one side of his forehead almost covering his left eye, his eyes were hazel, his outfit made him look like a cosplayer to one of those war hero figures, he wore a silk white shirt, tucked under an army green pants, an open cape with the same color as the pants, battened only around his neck , the cape had golden epaulets on both his shoulders, and a golden strap was hanging from his left shoulder into a black laces belt placed on top of his lower rib , forming a triangle on top of his chest, he has black gloves and black leather knee bots on, everything just fit him so right, he looked strong and fit, the other guy locked like a soldier, he wore a matching navy military jacket and pants, he also wore black leather boots ,he had an army dress aiguillette hanging from his left shoulder and some medals on top of his left chest’s side.
They looked surprised just as much as I was, the soldier guy stepped in front of the other one
“My king, she looks like an intruder “he said while pulling out his sword
My king???and what’s with the swords, who uses swords this days, and why is everyone seem so inpatient to use them on me, the king didn’t have a sword, but I wasn’t going to stand there waiting for his soldier to get me for him, before I could relies it, I was running away, more like limping as fast as I could thanks to my sore twisted ankle. Patience
“No wait!!”I heard the king shouting at me, but I just ignored it and kept on going hoping to find a way out.
Shit did end, I heard the two of them standing in a two meters distance from me; I turned to face them
“Don’t worry, we are not going to hurt you, I dint hurt girls, especially not pretty ones ”he stated with a smirk on his face
If I wasn’t scared as hell right now I would have blushed at that, but all I was staring at is the sword pointed at me that his soldier was holding; apparently he knew what I was thinking about
“General, put down your sword”
“But your highness...”
“Now!!”I flinched at the way he yelled at him, so he can actually be serious, he doesn’t give that vibe when you see him for the first time, I took the chance where their attention was off me to head to a window and see if I can jump through it, the moment I looked down, I knew that option was off limits, this damn castle was built on top of a clef, before I could think of anything else he interrupted me
“I don’t think that is very wise”
I looked at him, my eyes staring at his,
“Even if you manage to climb down, your ankle won’t make it easy for you “he said pointing at my leg
“You would fall down before you reach the mid of that cliff” he added
I took another look through the window ,I hate the fact that he was right, I can’t even imagine how it mast feel hitting the ground, after falling from this height…wait a minute, hitting the ground……now that I come to think about it, isn’t that why I’m here? For not hitting the ground when I fall, it already happened three times so far, it’s only safe to think that it might happen again and get me out of here; I took one last look through the window and looked bake at him, he frowned at me , he knew I was going to do something, and he was right, I needed t fall so that I could go home, but I couldn’t take the risk of falling through the cliff, I’m not so sure if this might work, so I decided to make it simple, I took three steps backswords, I was facing them and they both kept staring at me, the soldier was very anxious and ready to jump at me at any moment, the king just kept staring waiting to see what I’m about to do, god I really hope this would work, otherwise , it would just make me look like a fool, I closed my eyes, and leaned letting my body fell backwards.
