A secret passage?

the maids kept knocking why did it have to be that loud??!

judging from how loud it was...it seemed it hadn't been open for such a long time!

I had to think!

I ran to the door and I half opened the door and looked at the maids sharply saying:

"I'm really tired would u please not disturb me!".

"your majesty pls let us in what was that sound?? let us check on you!" the worried maids said.

"go away! some books had fallen from the library don't make it a big deal you can clean in the morning!" I angrily ordered them to leave me alone.

"your majesty we have to insist!...pls let us check on you!.." the maids begged but before giving them any chance I slammed the door in their faces before they could continue!

the maids: "your majesty.. "

"one more word and you will lose your head!"

I opened the door to tell them those words before I slammed the door once more at their faces!

"I didn't know that the queen was bad-tempered how can she stay in her room all by herself!"

"hush! do you want to die!?"

I could hear them through the door I didn't care about what they thought I just had to pass!

I locked the door and took the candle stick and the book with me I started checking the stairs it was all dusty and full of insects but I had to go there and without much thought, I had taken the first step!

After about 10 steps down I reached the underground land.

it was all dark and dirty it didn't smell good at all, I started breathing heavily.

the passage's width was narrow, it could barely fit two, as for its length I didn't know where did it end and no sooner I was covered with spider webs eww!

what is that sound!!...is that a rat? ahh, luckily he has just passed by me!

I had to walk and continue although I didn't know where my destination ends and where I was headed!

wait! why was it separated into two ways..the book didn't mention anything about it! it had just said to go forward for 200 steps!

Well If I keep moving forward I'll only hit the separating wall which is 2 steps ahead!

there is a line missing in the book!

is it my right or my left!!!

I don't mind trying both but where would I find the thing which I'm looking for not knowing what is it in the first place?

I would only remember my mother's words then.

mom told me before that right always indicates good and left always indicates evil... I knew of those two options that right was where my mother would head furthermore the way right had fewer spider webs I can go through!

Well, that's right for me.

After 200 hundred steps I've found a wall!

I wasn't surprised I started getting familiar with all this, I tried to look for anything that could open up another passage or a way out. I started touching the dirty rocky wall full of spider webs. I hadn't to look for much longer as what I was looking for was just on my left side, I just had to light up the way for me.

I pressed this part of the wall missing the external rocky piece...and stairs started forming and dust started flying over the place with insects..it was so dirty!

and definitely, the sound wasn't enjoyable!

I climbed up the stairs exhausted..hoping for an answer!

I found a door in front of me this time it has got keyholes.

"no that is a lot!"

I screamed.

why does it have to be like this can't it just be easier?

I hit the door hardly out of anger and guess what??

the old door and this old area have aged, the door simply opened breaking the old lock and left it hanging on the door's side!

I entered somewhere dark and still dusty...I spotted candle holders...I started lighting them one by one

then I started checking where I was..it was a room full of dirt.. it was an office that contained a lot of open boxes that contained a lot of papers.

papers were everywhere in the room, the books had fallen from the library, it didn't look old at all..especially the other door of the room it looked fine and unbreakable.

"where could this door lead?" I asked myself.

but that wasn't the most important question now.

everything looked of age but only the dust and barbarism that was all around the room seemed to be the only trouble In this luxurious subject!

I started checking those papers gathering them and looking through them...I knew this was something!

but not long and I got distracted frightened and surprised I may add when the other door's lock started to get unlocked!
