Chapter (55): Hazard

"I must find my uncle!" Said Luna in panic.

"He is not here, Luna! We sought for him but the guards said that he left with four men."

Elenore couldn't understand what was it to Elizabeth, gazing around, she thought! Where is she? That noisy Elizabeth wouldn't miss this chance to have fun.

"How did you know the prince is here?" Lisa asked, grabbing Luna's arm.

"Yesterday that I took my son out, we saw them coming to Barson. I thought it was related to the imps but it sounds like I was wrong."

Her eyes drifted on Luna, did the prince like her? She wished not because that cursed court was vexing. She experienced it being a nightmare. They caused her to change, to become greedy but since she left peace came to her life.

"They are after someone!" Lisa told her to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Where is Prince Wilmore? I must tell him something."

Luna pleaded, now none of these words mattered to her except her loving ones.

"They used that way! I think they went to the quiet back hall."

Barbara answered.

"Please take me there!" Luna wished.

Barbara stood still, gazing at Lisa. She permitted with a node.

"Alright, we will be here! Come back soon! Your uncle would return to take us out."

Lisa kissed Luna's hand and led them to Barbara.

Luna clawed Barbara's hand and followed her lead. She didn't want to miss a second. Hux and the prince were around so they could go and bring them back. She didn't want the cure when two dangerous imps were strolling out there. They simply killed a faerie and brought it all the way to Greenwood. Even the thought could bring shivers into her bones.

Soaked in her thoughts, she became vigilant as the white shadow came to her sight. There was only them in the place.

"Your grace, we must go after them!"

Luna suggested as they reached them, she kept her tone careful and low.

"Lady Luna!"

Wilmore saw her approaching, getting close like a gleam of light from the farthest.

"Please, your grace! I beg you the imps already killed a deer faerie and tossed it into our land. We brought it here, if the imps are near the borders, Ryan and Elizabeth are in danger. I can handle the curse, but I can't handle their death."

"And Natasha, my knight! If you do mind about her life."

Wilmore sensed the selfishness in her heart, to her the world was limited to her family.

"What is going on here? Which deer faerie."

Dorian asked, he couldn't understand what they were saying, they came from Riva road but found nothing. The imp left tracks near the borders and what was it to those lads?

"I will tell you on the way, gather your men!"

Wilmore didn't wait and passed by her, the emotions that he received from her were devil, they might be caused by the curse to deceive him. He had to keep his distance far from this girl before being intoxicated.

"Thank you, your grace!" She murmured, because anyway he couldn't hear it as he buried between the crowd of shadows down this hall.

Behind a curtain two green glinting eyes were watching them, she sneered at what she heard, "Luna is cursed, I must thank the witch that cursed her."

"Really? Better to keep what you heard from them into the grave because I might miss the old days and tend to bring some bowels out."

Vanessa cringed as she saw Elenore appearing behind her.

"Oh, Mrs. Black! Rest assured. I will take it to graves."

She passed her unbelievable smile. But Elenore was certain that she would avenge Luna.

"Get lost, Vanessa Reynolds, if I see you around James' girls then you might live in misery right after that."

Elenore menaced her. Vanessa nodded and grabbed her skirt, cleaning the sweat on her palms. She ran away.

"Crazy girl! You can lose your head."

She glanced back at Luna as Barbara screamed. Elenore rushed to them. She was fine a minute before but due to what she heard, Luna was cursed, and perhaps Elizabeth and Ryan went after a cure. What a mess.

Luna noticed that the Prince's shadow was getting shaky, the world was squeezing her. Her mouth was dry, her throat got sticky and she lost consciousness.

Wilmore heard the shriek behind him, a minute ago he promised himself not to turn back and look at the girl but his heart already was commanding his brain, and his moves. He turned back and saw Luna fall on the cold rough cobbled floor.

He couldn't understand when his legs marched to her but soon she was among his arms. He could hear the weak heartbeats that were escaping out of her thin wrist. Anxiety and nervousness possessed her stamina.

Wilmore picked the girl up, her face ran pale and his heart ached even more. If it was a curse he couldn't fight it.

"Prepare a cart, Dorian! Let's take them to a proper place. We will find the Lord."

The prince wished then paced his strides to get out of this noisy foolish place. It was all unlike him since the beginning.

Elenore called Lisa and Margaret and explained to them, convincing them to go to their house before the rain. They could not ride Luna to Riva with this situation.

Lisa grabbed her mouth as she saw Luna's face becoming pale? If it was just a faint that could be alright but if it was the curse then how could they fix it?

Dorian brought the cart when a bulky man and Rave pushed the crowd away and approached.

"Your grace! What is going on here?"

Rave asked, now the whole Greenwood knew Wilmore.

"Come, be useful! Take these ladies to Captain Black's house." He went inside the cart, making Luna have her seat near the window. Lisa went up and sat next to her as soon as the prince came out.

Wilmore hardly grabbed Rave's arm and said, "if something happens to them I will slay you here!"

"Don't worry, you grace! If something happens to Lord James' daughters, I will burn this whole land." The bulky man said, shooting glares at his son.

Wilmore knew this man, John McCain his drawing was in the case of Eagle knights troop. He was lucky that things came together in recent hazards.
