More Info More destruction
"Father! it's been 24 hours now since Anastasia has been taken away but Rex has not returned with any news about Anastasia and the whole kingdom of Rivendelle is in panic!" Xenia complained to her father who was as equally worried as she was.The king had to go to the army department to pass them the information and to discuss the possible solutions available to retrieve his daughter back safely!
"Listen all of you!" He announced once he got to his soldiers.
"Rex has not returned with the people he left with! Only meaning that he hasn't found my daughter! I want about twenty of you to go out there and help with the search! AND DO NOT....I REPEAT! SHOW YOUR STUPID FACES HERE UNTIL YOU FIND MY DAUGHTER. NOW LEAVE!" He roared at his people and they prepared to leave immediately.
This was exactly the plan of Lysander!! He would use Anastasia as a distraction to the army and the king. Then take over leadership of Rivendelle!! He wanted to pay back everyone who mistreated his family twenty years ago with the same pain they had caused his fragile heart twenty years ago. But now, his heart had hardened than steel! The only way he could pay the whole of Rivendelle was by ruling over them and his twenty years long plan seems to be paying off well!
The soldiers left immediately on their mission! But none of them will find the princess because Lysander had made sure of that and King Labhrainn would be forced to send out more troops!

Meanwhile, Anastasia had to take a bath again because she was totally disgusted by the fact that she had shaved off a man's beard and stuck it to her chin! But she would do anything to break out of here! The man whom she struck had been taking out earlier. He was better now but just had some injuries here and there! She redressed and went to bed but she couldn't sleep. The food cart beside her bed was disturbing her!
Yes, she was SUPER HUNGRY! But she wouldn't eat food from her father's enemy!! What if this food was poisoned? She closed her eyes hard but it was as if the food jumped out of the cart and sang out Anastasia's name out loud!
Anastasia closed her eyes harder but when she realized it wasn't working, she covered her face with a pillow to block the fragrance of the food from entering her nostrils!! But soon enough, she was suffocating.
She had to remove the pillow but immediately she did she let out a loud scream! Lysander was standing by her bed looking down at her with a no expression face.
She slowly sat up on the bed and stared at him and at the door wondering how he came inside without her hearing!
"Ever heard of knocking??"She asked him sarcastically but truth was her heart was racing in her chest for creepy way he showed up.
He ignored her and wheeled the food cart closer to her! She went a little bit back because the sight of the delicious food was tempting.
"You have to eat!" He said calmly.
"Why? Why do you care? Don't you want me to starve? After all you strangled me till I passed out!"
"I don't care! Without you my plan to distract your father would be useless!" Lysander smirked at the dumbfounded Anastasia who thought he kidnapped her to kill her.
"So that means I am important to you....and if I am that important to you why would you want to slaughter me like a lamb before my father?"
"I will! After everything is done! Now eat!"
Anastasia had an idea! If she was very important to Lysander, it meant without her his revenge plan would be futile so there was one thing she had in mind! To starve herself to death! She would sacrifice her life for Rivendelle!!!
"And what if I say I wouldn't?"
"You will!"
"Are you going to force me?"
"No!" With that being said, he left her in the room.
"Bring it on!!!!" She stood up from bed frustrated and went close to the huge window. She raised up her curtains and the view of a rainbow coloured garden was seen.There was a great waterfall just behind the garden which flowed into a small lake with a lovely little bridge over and a nice tent over it.
Anastasia's eyes widened at the sight of the birds and animals grazing and flying around.
'Where on earth am I?' she said in her thoughts!!
"You will know sooner!"
Anastasia turned her neck to the direction of the voice just to see the sight of Thyra on her bed! Why were there creepy people here? But it wasn't the way she appeared that scared Anastasia! It was the fact that she asked in her thoughts where on earth she was but Thyra had answered her question in the physical!
"How...?" she fumbled with shock!
"I am sorry but I can hear your thoughts!" Thyra revealed!
"Yes....haha funny... anyways..."
"It is not a joke! But I guess you humans have to take time to get used to us!"
"Thyra you are the most funniest person I have ever met! What? We humans? What are you then?"
"I cannot tell you now but you will know when the time is right! You have to eat!"
Anastasia just stared at her with a brow up she decided to get it out of her mind because it looked like a silly joke to her but she couldn't.
"You have to eat, Anastasia!"
"Wait.... how do you know my name?"
"We here have been planning our revenge on your father and Rivendelle for so long so it was best to know everything about him and that includes you! Everyone here knows about you and your family and the entire Rivendelle!"
"You mean this is a separate kingdom on its own?"
"Yes, my Princess!"
Anastasia looked at Thyra as tears welled up in her hazel eyes!
