Fake Princess
CHAPTER 127
The ashes blazed down like rain, and we were forced to avoid people running around with blankets to put them out. One of the ashes landed on my arm, burning me, and I screamed, but my guards didn't even slow down.
Suddenly the sound of screams filled the air, followed by the sound of parts of the stables collapsing. The spark got higher, watering the courtyard, then the pile of hay that was just a few feet in front of us exploded and caught fire. I stumbled as the two men pulled me back and fell over their times. The flame that had licked the haystack shot up like a pillar of fire, spewing out tongues of fire and smoke. I was dazed by the noise, smoke, and heat of the fire, but the men holding me showed no mercy. They pulled me to my feet again, dragging me, stepping again towards the fortress and the outer gate.
But I let my legs dragged, as if my fall had made me more dazed than before. Because there, on the edge of the courtyard of the stables, in a place no one was concerned about in the midst of this chaos, stood two cloaked figures who neither escaped nor attempted to extinguish the fire. One of them was wearing the hood of his robe and was watching the crowd closely until it seemed to be trying to remember everything. The wind that was causing the fire was flaring up blew a strand of blonde hair into her eyes, and I thought my heart could stop when I saw her quickly remove the hair from her face.
Just then, Devan's gaze fell on my eyes.
I don't think, or worry, or doubt. This time, the magic was ready when I grabbed it; it was probably joyful not to be held back by the barrier spell contained within Melani's cell, or maybe I was so desperate that my fear couldn't get in the way. Whatever the reason, the guards clutching my arms suddenly floated forward, pushed by the wind Paula taught me so I could blow the fowl across her study. They hit the wall that was in front of us and, before anyone realized, I lifted up the skirt and ran.
Behind us, the flames that enveloped Puri Sare lit up even higher as we disappeared into the darkness.
Maybe we ran for one-fourth of an hour, now Bella is leading the way. He slipped among the trees and passed through the rocks so easily that it was as if he had been born in the forest. It could be that Bella can continue to run like a creature of the night, but I have lived inside as wide as five steps either for a long time, with food somehow a number of times a day. Finally, I had to pull Devan's grip. Then, bending down to the waist and gasping for breath, I stopped and leaned against a wooden tree.
The two stopped without saying a word, but Bella immediately stood facing Puri Sare, her shoulders looking tense. I needed time, and finally managed to breathe normally. I raised my head, and found Devan looking at me, a big smile on his face.
