PRINCESS SOPHIA
Freedom?

The full moon is shining tonight, at least as bright as hope, but the dark prison cell envelops two innocent people who will face their destiny.

Sophia pondered, feeling every pulse that kept her alive."Marie," the girl finally opened her mouth, her voice filled with a creeping silence between the cold walls of the cell. "I never imagined the end of my life would be like this."

"I'm sorry, Princess. I tried my best to save you, but it seems fate chose a difficult path for us." Marie hugged Sophia warmly, rubbing her hair softly.

Sophia shook her head slowly."It's not your fault Lady Marie, I'm the one who should be apologizing, you should be involved with all this."

Lady Marie smiled faintly, trying to hold back her tears. "We must remain strong, Princess Sophia. There might be hope behind this seemingly closed door. We can't give up." His words are full of determination.

The two did not stop praying in this dirty, cold and dark cell. Because in prayer they are like finding a light that never goes out.

These unexpected circumstances lead them to a life experience that was never thought of before. They know when their lives will be taken, when they will last live, and how they will end up. This all creates a turbulent wave of feelings. Fear, resignation, anxiety and other negative feelings.

From a distance, footsteps approached, tearing the silence of the prison. Then the guard standing in front of their cell suddenly fell down quickly. A silhouette emerged from the darkness before long he removed his mask to reveal who his identity was. As it turns out, it was Peter, who managed to infiltrate the prison by disguising himself as a guard. Quickly, Peter rushed over to Sophia and Marie.

"Peter!"Call Sophia excitedly, it feels as bright as hope comes with the arrival of this man. His once gloomy face immediately sparkled in Peter's presence

"Sst. I'm here to save you."Whisper Peter. His eyes exuded a strong determination, "Sorry, but I have to take you one by one, the situation does not allow to bring two people." Peter is obviously sorry.

Hearing that their eyes returned dim, Sophia looked at Lady Marie doubtfully.

"Daughter Sophia, you need to leave first. I'll be fine here!" His word is full of determination.

Sophia shook her head quickly."No, I can't leave you here."

Marie smiled sincerely then clasped the girl's cold hand."I'll be fine. Go, Princess, you are precious to this kingdom, one day you must be able to restore the peace of this kingdom.!"

Sophia's eyes were glazed with glass, her heart still doubtful, she did not want to leave the person who had taken care of her all this time here in this dark place with a predetermined destiny tomorrow.

"Lady Marie I'm.."

Marie interrupted him."Princess there is no time to be sad, you must be able to save yourself!"

"Sophia, it's not time we have to hurry.."Peter's timpals."Lady Marie, I will also come back to save you..!" Peter was full of determination.

"We'll meet again, Lady Marie. Promise that! I will never forget you!"

The woman hugged Sophia tightly."I'm glad I raised you Sophia."Lady Marie's whispers are sincere.

Peter gave Sophia a guard uniform to wear to trick the guards, and they carefully crossed several guards who were unaware of their existence. Heading into a dark passage that leads them to freedom, Peter and Sophia move quickly to be carefully undetected.

The hallway seemed to be a labyrinth of freedom. The cold walls of the prison and the faint sound of footsteps added to the tension in the atmosphere. Sophia could feel her heartbeat beating twice as fast, mixed between worry and hope.

Sophia almost slipped, but Peter quickly caught her. The two of them paused for a moment, looking around to make sure it was safe. Peter's hand tightly held Sophia, providing stability to the steps of those who sought to penetrate the darkness.

"Be careful, Sophia. We have to keep moving."Whisper Peter.

Sophia nodded, and they continued their journey.Shortly they finally made it to the edge of the hallway, behind the palace. Sophia felt like she could finally breathe her freedom.

There Lily, Sophia's horse was waiting, Peter touched Sophia's shoulder strengthened her. His eyes stared at the girl.

"Listen Sophia, you and Lily will go to the border of the palace, I'll meet you there. Now I'm going back to save Lady Marie!" Clearly Peter.

Sophia nodded, she hugged Peter tightly."Thank you Peter, promise me you'll be back with Lady Marie safely."

Her heart has hardened to face the people who have hurt her, but Sophia is still not ready to be separated from the people who have loved her, supported her and are always there for her.

Peter returned Sophia's embrace."I promise you, Princess! I will always be with you!"

Peter gently tried to wipe away the tears flowing down the girl's cheeks."Don't worry, Sophia. We'll regroup and end this. I'm here for you." His words are sincere and gentle.

Sophia jumps on Lyly, while Peter gives a light push to help her ride.

Peter smiled, trying to hide his worries."Heart of Sophia!"

Sophia waved goodbye, and with light steps, Lyly began to speed towards the border of the palace. When Sophia disappears into the darkness, Peter turns towards the palace, his determination firmly facing the challenges that await, now his mission to save Lady Marie.

The wind blew Sophia's hair, the cold of the night piercing her skin was completely ignored, the rustling of the leaves and the sounds in the distance created a gripping atmosphere. But Sophia's eyes reflected a strong determination.

"Lily, we're almost there."Briefcase Sophia.

The silhouette of the palace looked at the back signifying her further journey, Sophia was silent for a moment, glancing back, it felt a lot of burden in her heart, she did not feel free, leaving her kingdom like this. Like he had given up when he wanted everything to go back to normal.

Lily stopped at the border, and Sophia observed the night sky. The moonlighted landscape symbolizes freedom and uncertainty. He took a deep breath trying to let go of the burden he was carrying.

On the dark border, Sophia waited with a restless heart. Time passed quickly, and the moonlight illuminated the night sky. Sophia, growing weary, continued to gaze into the darkness, expecting the arrival of Peter and Lady Marie who had not yet been seen. Fatigue finally crept into his body, and without realizing it, his worried eyes slowly closed.

"Peters..Lady Marie's.."Sluggishly.
