Safety

"Princess, please go!!!"A woman shrieking voice was made significant to other's turbulent cries. It appears that she happened to be the maid of a distraught and unhappy princess who was caught up in the heat of the agonizing moment.

"Ylvia , please don't do this me , come with me or we will die together"Another woman's shaky voice could be heard as she dragged the hands of the maid who had just spoken a while ago...

"I can't possible let you die and live my princess,Go with Irene She must be waiting for you in the tent at the outskirts of the kingdom"The maid said yet again trying to convince her confused and hurting princess...

"Ahhgggh"Ylvia yelled in pain before falling on the ground .The commoners who were still busy fighting for their lives abruptly stopped to stare at their beloved princess who had suddenly became painstakingly stiff as her eyes widened in horror at the death of her maid.....

Everything became silent in the ears of Ardis,The clanking of swords, Trotting of horses,The gushing of blood,The people's agonizing screams and yells just turned in to nothing but a grave yard to Ardis

"Yyylvia"She managed to say as her throat burned at the sight of a sword struck in the chest of her maid....

Suddenly she felt some pair of hands dragging her stiff body from behind,Whether it was to safety or whether it was to battle death,,Ardis didn't know but one thing is for sure ,She was not going to fight back because her most priceless possession had just been taken away from her so she had no reason to fight again....

"My lady ,My lady,"Irene said as she waved her hand in front of her princess's face...

All Ardis could here was a faint voice in the background before she gave in to the darkness that was calling her....

The morning had never been more painful for poor Ardis . She grumbled as she tossed and turned on the bed. With her head throbbing painfully she used the little strength she had to sit up on the bed...

Suddenly ,the happenings of yesterday came like a plague in Ardis's mind as realization dawned on her that she had lost a sister in disguise as a maid. She didn't perceive the scent of Lily or lavender that Ylvia would have sprayed round the room...

She couldn't imagine what her live would be like without Ylvia as Ylvia had always been her shoulder to cry on and a great helping hand

"Oh finally my lady you are awake"Irene said worriedly before sitting down beside Ardis and placing her hand on her forehead only to retract it immediately bringing back Ardis from her train of thoughts....

Ardis stared at Irene and she felt her heart break into a million pieces...She had forgotten about Irene. But she still wanted both of them with her together even though she might be thinking like a selfish woman ...

"My lady ,You are burning like a hot coal"Irene said in worry looking at her sickly pale princess...

"You had passed out yesterday and I didn't even see Ylvia with you "Irene further continued...

Ardis couldn't help but burst into tears again hugging Irene for support

"She is gone "Ardis voice came out muffled as her shoulders shook while sobbing
