Joya ran as fast as her legs could go;
She ran not just to protect herself but to get help.
If she could get help, Omelia might still make it right?
She kept running, the sound of her feet tapping the floor, her dress in the wind, and her hair flapping behind her.
She felt tears sting her eyes.
Why was she crying?
She had just watched Omelia get pierced by a knife! She was more than shocked; she was petrified. How did the intruder get past the walls of the castle?
Joya felt guilty, guilty for betraying her mistress. Aren't maids supposed to risk their lives for their mistress? There is a possibility she could be beheaded for this.
Joya ran towards the direction of Vagor's chamber. She got to the door and was about to push it open when she heard a voice shouting in exasperation.
