4 The King part. 3

Williams POV:

I wanted hug Lenny, but I didn't want to hug her to death.

"How are you feeling?" Moving a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Better," looking at her I wanted to take her, "Why do you ask?"

"I just wanted to know." She looked at me with her light blue innocent eyes.

"Done." I looked at the bowl and left her to go to the kitchen and heard a scream, I ran towards the sound to find a maid dead on the floor. I ran back to Lenny, to find her okay.

"Lenny!" She looked at me confused. "You have to hide!" I grabbed her arm and put her in the closet. I heard the door bang and saw an assassin walk in.

He ran up to me trying to stab me in the heart, I grabbed his arm twisted it took the knife out of his hand a shoved it into his chest. When I was done, I got Lenny out of the closet,

"Are you okay?" I had my arms around her waist pulling her out of the closet.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." She responded, "Who was that?"

"I don't know-"

"Let's look." She grabbed the mask off of his face and gasped. "I-It was my..."

"What was it?"

"I was supposed to get married to this guy." She started to cry in my arms. Why would her betrothed want to kill her? Or maybe he just wanted to kidnap her.

"Guards!" I snapped my fingers.

"Yes your highness?" The came running in like puppy's who got a treat.

"Get this body out of here and take care of the maids too while you're at it." I looked down to face Lenny to still be crying, but then she cried herself to sleep. I picked her up and placed her in the bed, and put the covers over her body.
