Alicia and I were walking on the road towards the horse stables where Midnight was.
I can feel that a pair of eyes were looking at us.
I was cautious along the way.

We were getting near the stables and I can still feel the presence of the person looking at us.

”Alicia, why not go inside the stable first. ” I said.

”Okay. ” Alicia looked at me puzzled.

”Whatever happens don’t go out okay. ” I told her sternly.

”Is there a problem? ” She asked.

”Someone is following us since we left the riverbank. ” I whispered.

”What? ” Alicia was startled.
I gestured her to keep quiet and she nodded.

”Let’s act that we don’t know. ” I said softly.
I get my dagger from my belt and handed it to her.
”Use this if ever something happens, okay? ”

Alicia nodded again.
”Be careful. ”

”I will, do not worry. ” I said.
She was looking at me with worried eyes.

’She’s so cute.’ I smiled to myself.
I pulled her close and kissed her forehead.

”Be a good girl and wait for me okay. ” I said and she nodded.

I saw Alicia entered the stables.
Once she was in, I turned around to feel the presence of the person following us.

’Under the bushes, at least twenty feet away.’ I thought to myself.

I held my sword on my waist and rushed forward.
The person behind the bushes saw my sudden movement and retreated quickly.

”Where do you think you’re going. ” I yelled.

I was now chasing the person.
He ran towards the woods.
He had a good head start, so I was a little behind.

”Flow of the wind, assist me. ” I mumble my incantation.

After muttering my spell, I felt the the wind around me.
My body felt light as a feather and I was moving even faster.

The person I was chasing was now in front of me.
I kicked him from behind and he crashed on the ground.

I forced him on the ground and held his arms from behind.

”Who are you and why were you following us? ” I asked.

”No! Please let me go. ” The person was struggling to break free.
It was a middle aged man.

”Tell me, why were you following us? ” I twisted his arm from behind.
”Speak! ” I yelled.

”I-I was ordered to! ” The man was screaming in pain.

”Were you the one that pushed the princess out on the road? ” I pressed for more information.

”I-I don’t know what you are talking about. ” The man denied.

It looks like this guy won’t crack that easily.

”Dimitri, are you there? ” I called.
I have told them yesterday that they will maintain a few meters away from me and Alicia today.
It was because I want to be with Alicia alone and enjoy our date together without my shadow guards watching us.

But I specifically told Dimitri to standby if ever I call for him in emergency situations.
And this here is an emergency situation.

”Your highness. ” Dimitri just came flying in.
He kneeled down before me.
”What happened your highness? ”

Dimitri was looking at the man that I detained.

”Take him. ” I pushed the man towards Dimitri.
”Find out who is he working for and if he was the one that pushed Alicia earlier. ”

”Yes your highness. ” Dmitri slightly bowed.
He whistled and in an instant two shadow guards came flying in.
They knelt before me.

”Take this guy. ” Dimitri said.
”You know what to do. ”

”Yes captain. ” They bowed and took the man.

”Please spare me. ” The man was screaming.
My shadow guards left with the man to interrogate him.

”Your highness, let me escort you back. ” Dimitri asked.

”Okay. ” I turned around and walked back to the stables.

Once we entered I called looked for Alicia instantly.

”Alicia? ” I called but there was no answer.
My heart was beating very fast.

’Did I miss someone? Did the man had an accomplice with him?’ I thought.
’But I only felt one presence.’

I looked around frantically searching for her.

”Alicia, Alicia, where are you?! ” I was now yelling.

Then I smelled something, that smell will always be familiar to me.
A smell of blood.
I traced the smell and saw drops of blood on the floor.

”Dimitri! ” I yelled.

”Your highness, what’s the matter. ” Dimitri was startled.
This was the first time that he saw me frantic.

”Search the area at once! Find Alicia! ” I said with authority.

”Yes your highness. ” Dimitri bowed and vanished in an instant.

I felt my heart clenched in pain.
Anger was engulfing every inch of my body.

”I will find you Alicia.
And I won’t spare anyone that tried to take you away and hurt you. ” The rage in my voice was evident.
