Rylee entered into a room as she was in fear when she heard heavy steps approaching. The room was completely dark and there was no light inside. She entered and when take another foot step forward, her thigh got attacked with a table. She screamed in pain and stood there. She thought to first find the window in the room. She looked up and found a ventilator but it was too difficult for her to reach that height. She then moved slowly and slowly, trying not to get collided by any other thing in the surface of the floor. She tried to touch things those were scattered on the ground. Unfortunately she could not find anything that could lighten up the room. There was no lamp. It was pure dark and black inside the room. She started coughing due to extreme sand particles in air. Perhaps there were lot of dust and spiders' net around her. She was unable to breathe due to lot of dust. It was so hard for her to move but she continued going until her leg got curled up and she fell on the ground. She tried to touch the things around her to get a hold on her and her fingers curled up a clothe that was hanging. The clothe fell above her and she too fell on the ground.
Rylee P.O.V
The traitor I met during that time turned to be a handsome young lad who worked here. So he was not a traitor anymore but a normal servant. I doubted in the beginning he introduced me as a traitor then as a servant but the way he was dressed so beautifully created an uncertainty in my mind. "Is he really a servant or a Prince?" Well , since I had never seen any of the royals I believed that he too was a servant and it might be that newly appointed people dressed like these only. One thing that I hated about him was that how purposely he tried to touch me, anyways later he apologised but still...
During that course of conversation I literally forgot that I had to find little Alexa, she was weeping and needed food but when I bumped onto him, my mind was all blanked. Our interaction diluted for twenty minutes almost because we both had spent five minutes in staring each other. Another five minutes in picking each other and rest of the time we talked.
I lied about my name but I thought telling someone your title as name would not be considered much a sin.
'I am Rylee Grace." I said my name and left to search for Alexa but could not find the path she ran. Everything looked so similar, that I realized I was about to fall. I felt dizziness inside my head so I rested my back in a nearby wall. I breathed and gathered my thoughts but again those large footsteps increased fear within my heart. Kamilla had strictly told me not to roam anywhere around the palace unnecessarily until it's important. I sneaked inside a nearby room and since there were no guards around me so I found it to be safer for fewer minutes. As soon as I entered and locked the room, I found it was bitterly dark. There was no light inside the room. I doubted whether it ever had a window. I was moving slowly and steadily until suddenly my right leg got curled due to a object was somewhere scattered on the ground. I was going to fall when I touched something, probably a hanging clothe to get a grip on myself. But the clothe was so loose that it fell off over me and I too fell on the ground. When my senses came back, I found behind me was a rusty, snooty window whose glasses where broken. It was evening so there was mere light coming from outside. When I paved my look around the room, something suddenly flashed. It occurred to me as if I had come here once. The wall , the window and same ceiling which had a gold -coloured lantern. It was still shining despite it had lot of dusts on it. I felt like I was here before. The blur images of these room was striking my head. I could not catch the glimpse but I was sure this room had a past link to my dark memory. I stood up and saw night was slowly setting. I did not had much time on my hand. I knew there were some people around the palace who would surely be searching me and so I steadily came out that dark room. I promised myself to come back once in light.
"Where have you been grace? I have been searching you in and around?"
"umm actually, I lost my way, I was returning but forgot which way I should go, meanwhile I saw kamilla in front of me and she caught me."
"And that's why she was scolding you all the way. " Lucy was a curious baby. She wanted to know every detail. She was looking at me with doubtful eyes but right now it was not the correct moment to tell her about what had happened.
Kamilla saw as soon as I sneaked from that dark room. I was shocked and she was surprised looking at me. It was not the right time to be caught in an unusual situation. Unfortunately she punished me.
"So why did she punish you?" Lucy narrowed her eyes. She was expecting a true answer.
"Will it be ok if tell you later on? right now I need to wash this dress and wear a new one."
"You are imprisoned in your own room for two days. Where would you go wearing a new one?" Lucy was adroit with her answer.
