KING IN THE NORTH
chapter 25 run

"What is that you? "

Mara knew only her brother Keive was addressing her by that name.

Prince Keive was shocked to see his younger sister still standing in the doorway.

"I knew you'd be back."

Mara ran to hug her brother.

"Where have you been, young lady?"

Mara just remembered what she wanted to say when she ran home earlier.

"Sister, Olive's in the North."

"So you also know Olive's missing?" Prince Keive was surprised to hear Mara's words.

Mara nodded, "I just found out she's at King Alzov's palace."

"What!!! "

Mara knows her brother cares deeply about Lady Claire's daughter, Mara is aware of the more attention Prince Keive has given Olive all along, although perhaps the girl herself was still too innocent to understand a man's attention.

"How do you know? "

Of course Mara is not looking to discuss Artur or Theo, I don't know if he's still a scoundrel hunter who tricked her. Mara feels very sad because she has fallen in love with one of them who turned out to be the same.

"Only one thing I'm sure of, whether prince Artur or King Alzov they're just as much assholes."

"I think you're talking like that because you ran away from your marriage."

Mara really did not want to discuss the problem this time, although I am sure the girl still wants to argue.

"Trust me, brother, we must find Olive immediately."

Sunggub Marra was very worried about the girl.

THE NORT KINGDOM

Meanwhile deep in the North, Olive and her uncertain fate each time can only overcome her fears alone. Olove does appreciate the kindness of King Alzov who has treated his back, but regardless of that all does not mean Olive does not get the consequences of the anger of his King, he said, because then Olive really felt like a prisoner at the top of the castle and there were only female servants and bodyguards who could meet her.

Later Olive felt the words of Edmun had a point, their King was crazy. Olive began to think of escaping through the window if her room was not located in the tallest tower until she herself could not distinguish the trees and grass from the window of her room.

Now all Olive can do is wait for a miracle.

*****

With the help of a female servant Edmun managed to take Olive out of the fort by hiding her among a haystack of animal feed.

"Are you okay? " ask Edmun quite worried to see Olive's messy hair so out of the hay.

"As you can see I'm still breathing."

"Sorry, we don't have much choice, after this we still have to cross some creeks, because that's the safest way to the forbidden forest, I'll take you back to your family."

"Thank you, Edmun."

Olive could only hug her at a glance, then re-imagine her dress that was still dirty because of the remaining straw that was still attached.

"But I'm sorry Olive maybe I'll just take you to the edge of the woods."

"Wait, I thought you'd come with me."

Edmun.

"Somebody's gonna pick you up there."

Furthermore Olive did not ask much more, she was quite confident in Edmund, he kept silent all the way until they started to enter the edge of the forbidden forest . Olive realized that as the trees grew more lush and gloomy, Olive followed as Edmund led her through the path.

"He will take you across the forbidden forest."

Looking at the figure of a man just came out from behind a fairly large tree, Olive just realized there were two horses tied not far from the big tree.

"He'll take care of you better than anyone, trust me."

"Prince Keive," certainly Olive recognized him.

"Thank you, Edmun," said the young man after getting closer.

" It's my duty, Prince."

"Olive, are you okay? "

Olive just nodded in shock, how could Prince Keive be here????...

Of course Olive can trust him more than anyone, but what about Edmun. Olive did not dare to imagine what would happen to her if the young man chose to stay.

"Follow Edmun, come with us."

"King Alzov will know you're the one who helped me escape."

"Don't worry about me."

"Why don't you want to go?"

"I have to look after my mother and my two sisters, believe me we don't have any more brothers here to leave them."

"I'm really worried about you."

"Go Olive, we don't have much time."

Olive approached the horse that Prince Keive had brought for her.

"Thank you, Prince."

Prince Keive just smiled.

"Let's go quickly."

The two of them began to enter the forbidden forest, Olive's horse chasing after Prince Keive who was already in front of her. They had to speed up their horses because they did not want to spend the night in the terrible forest.

As if realizing the presence of something strange, the horse riding on Olive suddenly had a rotating dab, which was, Olive began to panic Prince Keive tried to help her but suddenly some slithering creatures sprung up from within the split ground. Olive's horse jumped up to throw her body so did Prince Keive.

Prince Keive tried to grab the sword left on his horse's back, but the creature moved faster and threw out its body repeatedly. Even every time Prince Keive tried to run back towards Olive the creature always first threw the prince's body with a cocked tail. For the umpteenth time Olive screamed watching Prince Keive's body bounce around in such a way, even though the prince had not given up but the monsters were still not a balanced opponent for him.

"Run olive! "..."run! " Triak prince Keive for the umpteenth time.

Olive turned her horse in doubt, there was no way she would leave Prince Keive and the creature even though there was not much she could do.

"Run Olive! " triak Prince Keive again..

Oh God.....!!!

Olive only realized who came later.....

King Alzov with his wrath was riding a dark horse running towards them.

Olive immediately climbed on the back of her horse, without thinking again the girl immediately stomped her feet to spur her horse to run. Olive felt how her hands trembled as she clasped the horse's bridle. In such a panic Olive could only bring her horse to run in an uncertain direction, for her she only wanted to run as far away from King Alzov who was still chasing her.

Olive's riding ability is arguably quite decent for a woman's size, as long as her horse is still strong running she will not budge.

"Stop Olive!!! "

Triak King Alzov after being close enough, Olive could feel the man's wrath but he did not care and let King Alzov chase after him. Without paying attention to the scream, Olive actually accelerated the pace of her horse. Although it is actually useless because it is actually so easy for King Alzov to pursue it, but Olive just seems to want to make King Alzov upset. When King Alzov's horse was right behind him...

"Stop Olive!!! "

The girl ignored him again...

"But stubborn girl!"

King Alzov tried to snatch his body but Olive managed to twitch and return carrying his horse stumbling and running across the open grassland.

Olive turned her head back without reducing the speed of her horse, at that time Olive could only see King Alzov from behind his long fluttering hair, and King Alzov still had not given up on chasing him.

Absolutely unexpected, because this time King Alzov who suddenly jumped on the back of his horse.

Frantically Olive found King Alzov's arm had blocked his waist, Olive's reflexes pulled the horse's strap until the horse fell over and they were both thrown to the ground. Olive's back hit King Alzov's body which fell beneath him.

King Alzov also did not expect the horse to throw it. Olive tried to roll over yet to give up, but King Alzov came back first to catch her. The crazed Olive was still trying to break away until they again wrestled on the slightly muddy wet ground.

"Stop Olive!!! "

Olive doesn't care if her body starts to get full of mud, so does King Alzov.

"Take me off" Olive growled with her lips hissing in anger. There is no adrenaline from where until he dared to get angry at a figure like King Alzov.

King Alzov's arm was still holding his body, and once again Olive tried to get away with biting the man's arm.

Somehow Olive was able to get back together, she took a lump of mud and threw it right on King Alzov's unmoved head, even Olive did not care if King Alzov would get more angry afterwards.

Olive got away, baby it didn't take long for King Alzov to get his foot back on his desk . It turned out to be quite troublesome just to catch a girl, King Alzov to the point of ignoring his body so follow the mud.

"Shut up, you can bite me!!! " King Alzov draped Olive to his back like a sack of wheat, and sure enough King Alzov did not bother ignoring all the efforts of the girl to surprise him.

Olive did not know King Alzov would take her anywhere after this, if given his wrath earlier maybe he would be thrown to serve as monster food to eat the forest dwellers. King Alzov still took him on the walk without even talking to him about scalis . Clearly what chest was rumbling this time, Olive herself did not dare to speak, the girl resigned if she had to face the anger of the ruler of the North Country.

Olive heard the roar of water and moist air hit her face, Olive tried to look up to find out, from behind King Alzov's back with the position of the head tilted which turned out to only make the head dizzy.

Oh..... Olive realizes they're on the edge of a cliff, and the girl hasn't had time to think when King Alzov suddenly takes her free-fall down her body.

Olive almost fainted watching her body glide free to fall into the water that felt like swallowing her body. Olive can swim but not in this state, her hands scavenging up she almost ran out of oxygen and had swallowed water when suddenly King Alzov's arm pulled her back to the surface.

Olive doesn't care she just wants to breathe in as much oxygen as possible to get back to filling her lungs. Perhaps it was just King Alzov who was crazy, others would prefer a shower or a bath in a warm tub to clean themselves up, instead of freefalling like a suicide like they just did. Olive just wanted to curse King Alzov who this time was really very close to him, his arm held Olive's body to stay floating because his body felt weak as King Alzov took him swimming to the edge of the river , I don't know if he fainted at the time.
