Although the guards and attendants were everywhere,
I felt like there was an intruder somewhere.
Ustra suddenly stopped, and I did too.
She held my hands and we speedily moved to another passageway like a flash of light.
We dashed into the maze and made so many turnings till we got to a dead end.
We stopped, and I perceived an unfamiliar fragrance.
.
We heard some heavy-footed steps then we saw his long extremely thin and lanky shadow,
"I know you are there Princess Ustra, i can see you..." He said,
He raised his hands over his shoulder,
"i am here for peace Ustra. " He assured.
"You came for peace? Why then were you following me Alfred?." Ustra asked softly.
We walked out confidently.
"To have a word with you princess why did you hide? Were you scared ?" He said with a proud look and a sheepish silly smile.
