We had been riding Zu and Ryu for two hours. Seen from a distance, we see the royal palace Rosewaltz very magnificent with typical modern royal decorations. Very calm. We'll go down at the back of the palace, the woods.
It's strange! We, the prince and princess of Rosewaltz kingdom disappeared. No, we haven't been back for eight days. But they look like we're okay.
"Zu come back.." Reveal it when we're down, set foot on the ground.
I looked at the situation of the back palace, it seemed that the knights were on duty as usual. I took a pair of binoculars to see a little far away. But still, everything seems fine.
I lowered my binoculars, turned around I looked at those who were no less confused than me. Shouldn't they be feeling anxious, since we've been gone for eight days?
"Squeaky.!"
"Something's wrong.!" Prince Hasper was serious about seeing the palace using the binoculars I gave him.
"Shouldn't be that happy, should they?." Prince Casper was confused by the knights who looked mediocre from behind his binoculars.
"Hazel...!"
"Can you look closer?" Neftaza stared at the palace.
Hazel nodded.
"Be careful..."
He flew to the palace.
We waited for Hazel for fifteen minutes, but Hazel hasn't returned. We waited for him with anxious feelings.Thirty minutes we were waiting for Hazel. We checked Hazel's whereabouts from behind the binoculars, but we didn't find her at all.
Forty-five minutes later.
"What happened to Hazel? It's gone too long." Neftaza was confused.
Hazel, it's been gone too long.
"Hazel's back..."
However, I saw him flying very fast. Looking at his face, he was a little scared.
"Run.." Hazel was not far from where we stood. What the hell's going on?
I looked back at Hazel. As the hordes of knights galloped towards us, I pointed my eyes at the hands of those who were carrying a sword in the grasp of their respective knights.
The five of us turned around to run into the forest, my steps getting faster through the small grasses growing on the ground. My breath sounds irregular.
I quickly stepped my feet back straight ahead while looking for a place to hide.
"At the end of there..." Prince Hasper shouted while pointing west. There are large rocks located there. We ran as hard as we could towards the rocks.
We hid behind a rock that was high enough. My breath and their breathing sounded very irregular. We shut our mouths so that our breath could not be heard by them.
Wait, what are we running for?
The sound of their footsteps stopped right behind the rocks where we were hiding.
"The intruder is gone..." Reveal one of them with a voice that is quite hoarse because after running after us.
Huh huh? Intruders?
"Quick search..." Say the other with a wet but firm hoarse voice.
They ran back to find the intruder. Intruders? Are we the ones they're looking for?
"Huh... Thank goodness..." I said, releasing my hands from my mouth. I breathe as much air as possible.
"Gazel..."
"What's going on?" I saw him tired sitting on a rock shorter than the other rock.
He set his breath to speak.
"I felt black magic in the palace, when I wanted to check what happened I saw the form of prince Hasper sitting in the garden gazebo with his personal knight." Her speech.
"What do you mean?" Prince Hasper was surprised.
"The black magic that I felt was inside their bodies,.." Say again.
"Are they disgusting creatures disguised as us?"
"I also suspect it.
It turned out to be true, that the emperor had planned this from the very beginning... They killed the descendants of the kingdom and replaced them with disgusting creatures." Neftaza looks very upset.
"I heard from some servants, they came back on the fourth day." Hazel said, remembering.
"So, they did as written on the invitation.. We're late for four days."
"If the emperor sends his pet to disguise himself as us, what happens to the other kingdoms? Did they do the same?"
"It looks like it, but I hope they're okay.." Neftaza said a little worriedly.
"Now what are we going to do?"
"We better hide..." Reveal it with a serious face.
"Truely what Gege said, we have to hide to plan things." Prince Casper clasped his hand firmly.
"How's dad doing? Is he okay?" I looked at Hazel.
"I also heard from the servants that your father is a bit more ruthless than before..." Hazel.
"Did you see dad?"
"I haven't seen her yet, because I dropped a vase of flowers in the corridor, so they thought I was an intruder. That's why I told you to run." He smiled grimacing.
"Huhh,," The four of us sighed harshly.
"It would be great if you knew the truth." Neftaza lethargic.
"Dad was not the foolish king Nefta.." Tukas prince Hasper cold.
Neftaza just laughed clumsyly got a cold response from the prince of Hasper.
"We're going to hide where Gege is?" I stared at him sitting on the rocks.
"We're going to the woods?"
"The forest?" Neftaza was confused.
Prince Hasper walked into the forest. I put my feet behind her. Back I remember, didn't we go to this forest a few weeks ago to find yellow daffodils? But I haven't seen that flower at all. Maybe I'm not going through the direction the daffodils are growing.
Prince Hasper had stopped since we stopped about thirty minutes ago. He looked around, maybe he was looking for the right direction.
He set foot back towards the south of the forest, we followed him very calmly. I felt Hasper stop a few times to look around, he was alert.
We walked back in silence without speaking, I raised my hand forward to remove the tree branch that was blocking my view. We walked and walked non-stop. It's too far.
I felt my feet getting tired on my knees. I paused for a moment to pummel my knees to relieve the slight fatigue that was striking my legs.
I stepped back, following those who looked tired from the way they walked.
"Isn't this too far?" Neftaza said in front of me was hitting his knees slowly.
"Patience..." Uncover me ahead of him.
"We'll be there soon..." Tukas prince Casper.
We walked towards a thicket that was high enough to block our view. Prince Hasper opened a pile of dried leaves under a large tree near the bushes.
It was like he was digging something. Yeah, it turns out to be true.. When he got rid of the dried leaves, there was a ground covered with green grass. But Prince Hasper's hand was looking for something. He was looking for a small hole.
He opened it with a key that he took from behind the big tree.
