An Unexpected Incident

"Your Majesty. Please be careful," said Lucas.

"Sorry, but I have to talk to the man."

Arielle let go of Lucas' hand, then ran back to chase the man.

"Please don't run!" asked Lucas who inevitably had to run after the queen.

Arielle's hand stretched out, almost touching the man's elbow before the ship's door opened and two big men who were drunk accidentally bumped into Arielle's body, making her slam to the side.

Arielle's feet stepped on her own skirt. Her hand then reached for the mysterious man's robe, pulling it tightly, but her weight was heavier than the knot on the man's robe.

Her eyes widened as her body was thrown off the railing, and the last thing she saw was a face she had not seen for a long time and a man who jumped from the railing to take her hand.

Arielle's body was hugged tightly before falling into the water. The crash of the water was deafening her ears. She momentarily couldn't process what had happened.
