BEWITCHED!

LOST IN THE PALACE I

It was a disgusting morning for Liviana, she was going to mix with the crowd forever, going into the market Square again, this time to find Daisy.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Liviana asked, holding a box in her hands.

"Yeah, Bion would stay with me"

"I don't want to leave, yiayia"

"Just for a few days," Gaia says, standing close to Bion.

"Once my condition is better, I would visit you in the town," Bion says, smiling at her.

"Okay, don't take time"

"May mother Selene guide you," Gaia says, holding Liviana's hands in hers.

"You too" She raises her hand, kissing them.

Her journey began, walking past the dark forest, into the town.

"Get out of the road!" A man yells, passing with a horse, Liviana's heart skipped as it passed by her.

She took a deep breath, that was one of the usual experiences either she bumped into the horses, or someone threw something at her. She held her face down, heading towards the Market Square, trying to find the door daisy had taken her to.

Liviana stared around the market trying to find the house she had entered but didn't seem to recognize it, she couldn't remember what the house or the door even looked like. Must house in the village looked the same this made it difficult to find Daisy's place.

"Are you lost?" A lady taps her, Liviana looked at the lady, she had a grey gown on, her hair long and black, she was very young about her age.

"Huh?" She turned over to the lady, glaring.

"I can help you" She replies, Liviana smiled at her instead, You look lost, standing in the middle of the village" Liviana looks around her seeing she was actually in the middle.

"No, I am fine," She says, politely.

"Okay, then" she smiles, walking away, Liviana sees her walk away, slowly she held in her hands a basket of fruit.

"I work at the Palace kitchen just in case you search for me" She recalls daisy saying, Liviana took a deep breath there was no way she was running into the lion's den.

"I should go back" She sighed, turning around, Liviana closed her eyes taking a deep breath.

She glanced around and found a small shop nearby, She walked to the little shop, luckily a woman steps out.

"Hi, can I drop this here?" she approaches a lady, holding her bag up.

"Why?" the lady asked, Liviana stared around, she was going to find someone and didn't know if she would be back, was it something she could say?

"I need to run an errand, I would soon be back"

"I would be closing very soon, how long are you going to be done?"

"Before nightfall," Liviana says.

"Okay, drop it there," she pointed to the back of a sack of rice, She smiles heading over to the sack to drop the bag.

"Thank you so much" she runs out of the shop, she smiled picking up her courage to head to the palace, if she was caught she was being killed.

Liviana arrived at the palace, she walked past the security at the gate, walking without a smile on her face to avoid being called or questioned, she made it in, Liviana stared around the palace where was she going to start from, she spots a lady.

"Hi, how can I get to the palace kitchen?" She asked, the lady took a quick scan at her, Her heart raced, and she prayed things don't get confusing.

"This way," She says, eyeing her, Liviana bows slightly thanking her as she went her direction.

She arrived at a door, there stood two guards, Liviana sighed moving away, she went backwards trying not to cause a commotion.

She spots men take in foodstuffs in sacks, Liviana smirks.

"Hi," she greets heading forward.

"Who are you?"

"I wanted to help," She says, staring at the sack she wasn't even sure if she could lift.

"A woman?"

"You be surprised with what I can do"

"Do you work here? are you a palace worker?" the men laughed at her statement.

"Yes, I do" She clears her throat, "No questions" she chants, charming them. Liviana looked around, making sure no one had seen her use magic.

"Let me" she tried to pick it up, but it was too heavy for her, Liviana smiles, dragging it along.

As soon as she reached the storage, she glanced around no one was around, Liviana drops the sack, looking around she finds a door.

"What am I doing?" She sighs and opened the door, Liviana's eyes widened as she stepped into a hall filled with people of all classes and types, "This is what the place looks like?" she smiled.

Everyone seemed too busy to even glance at her, Liviana looked around, she was in the home of her enemy, but it was more than she expected it to look, it was extravagant, luxurious and big. She circled staring at the building as she walked past, she hadn't seen anything like this before, they had dragons and wolves craved and placed by the stairs, and she shook her head going down the stairs.

"Wow," she look around, enjoying the nice scent the palace had and the beautiful design around, with each step she took, she was something magnificent. "I wonder where the palace kitchen is?" she looked away. Most of the people around carried white sheets.

"There she is!" she heard a man yell, Liviana looked back, everyone was staring at her, she turned around covering her face and walked faster till she started running, Liviana made a turn running into the hall like she was crazy.

"I shouldn't have come here" She kept telling herself, Finally she got to a door, she looked around no one was outside

"Find her" She heard, Liviana opened the door and closed it immediately, she held onto the door breathing.

"What are you doing?" She heard a voice, she swallowed slowly turning around. Liviana gasped seeing a man right in front of her, he had a towel wrapped around his waist only, she took a quick scan at him, He looked so hot and his chest was wet and wide. Liviana's heart skipped.

"Help me," she says, still staring at his chest. "I have helped you before," she says to the young prince standing at her front.
