The Dark

Chapter 4

"No matter what happens, never leave your room," said her mother while holding both her cheeks. Fear and concern were obvious in her mother's eyes.

She did not know what he should say.

"Is it clear?" asked her again.

"Ye-yes, queen mother," she answered almost in a whisper.

When they found out who rallied outside the palace from the town and after the bad news from Old, they immediately took her to her room. Her mother released her then took a deep breath, watching her for a moment before she finally left her room. She even saw the soldiers before the door of the room finally closed.

She worries about what could possibly happen and what the consequences will be when she keeps her secret from everyone, while the news of what happened to her spread throughout the town or kingdom of Dawn. The people of the town cannot be stopped from going astray as long as the curse is gone and that is her.

Sge left sitting at the end of the bed she immediately looked out the window when she noticed the noises from outside, her room was on the second floor so she saw the guards going to the gate of the palace to guard and strengthen the barrier there.

'Is what's going on outside getting worse? What if I was the cause of my father's downfall? 'she couldn't help but ask herself that.

She turned to face the door when she heard the soldiers running in one direction, footsteps receding and the sound of ammunition as they ran. She approached the door to feel the soldiers outside to make sure if anyone was still outside but she could hear nothing, she slowly opened it to peek but the soldiers were gone.

'I can't do nothing and just stare at it,' she said as she finally opened the door of her room.

She peeked left and right in the hallway and immediately ran towards the eighth building of the palace so that he could get out towards the gate. When hse got down he heard the roar of the iron barrier in the hallway as if being ridden from outside, as time went on it slowed down, she heard the loss and shouting from outside that she did not understand much but she knew it was asking for help.

She was approaching and she was about to get out of the garden when someone pulled her arm. She faced who it was she was surprised, serious eyes of the young man Erald she saw.

"What are you doing, didn't the queen mother tell you not to leave the room?"

She was still speechless when it dragged her back down the hall to her room. But less than seconds after an explosion occurred with a gate, a strong wind from there shattered the glass, Erald moved quickly to hug her and protect her from the crystals.

She froze and covered her ears as she felt the young man's tight embrace.

"Alina!"

Erald immediately avoided the fact that he now had a splash of glass on his face that was bleeding. The soldiers approached, the king's father still unable to speak when they heard the approaching noise and shout of the people who had entered the palace. They looked at it but Erald was prompt even though Alina was stunned by what was happening.

Alina heard the pounding of his chest. The young man took her hand again.

"Take action, protect the princess!" cry of the king's father.

"Let's go!" Erald pulled him.

The steps were heavy and time seemed to slow down for Alina in that incident who was shocked by the explosion. She didn't expect that to happen because the people of the town were angry with her--- yes, she knew she was the reason.

She turned to the front because she was almost slippery because of the glass on the floor, but there were people around her who would protect her no matter what happened that she was so worried about.

Not long after they arrived hiding in the palace under this part, when they went down she saw the brothers there, Regina immediately approached her so she did not notice her companion Erald when she also released him.

"How are you? Are you okay, are you in pain? " Regina hugged her at the same time.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Regina immediately let go of him but she could still feel the concern from her eyes. She was about to speak when she noticed Regina looking at Erald.

"Are you all right, Er-soldier?"

Alina's gaze followed Regina who was looking at the young man.

He was shocked and then nodded.

"I'll go back there to help," then left the two brothers.

It was not long before the king and queen descended there. At the same time she glanced at Alina, the queen mother approached her first.

"Didn't I tell you not to come out, what did I do to make you disobey my order?" angry to face and the queen approached him.

Alina could not speak immediately.

"Don't scold Alina anymore, no matter how safe we ​​are, especially her," Regina said.

"We have to do something, it's not possible, as long as the people's anger has not subsided, don't come out first," the king's father warned.

The queen mother turned to their father. "You, aren't you doing anything?"

"What do you want?" it seems that his father is already irritated and doesn't know what to do.

"Take care of our child, that's the first thing you should do!"

"What about the people and the subjects? I need to listen to them too. "

"But you can't leave your daughter Alina alone."

"Are you choosing me?"

The queen mother was stunned by their father's question.

Alina couldn't help it either, she closed her eyes, she had to do something. 'Think about it, Alina! Mind! You won't just stare! 'He opened his eyes when the queen mother spoke.

"He will be taken out of the palace so that he will not be heated, he will have to be kept away and hidden from those people. I will not let my son get hurt or die, no matter what happens I will protect them all, and I hope you know that too, dear king, "the queen mother stressed.

'Is this right?' was the only thing Alina asked her, she felt something was wrong with her mother's decision, the king's father couldn't answer as if he already agreed with their mother. There was nothing she could do if the queen mother spoke, she had to keep her mouth shut.
