The Princess And The Demon

"How about a tour in the castle? would you do me the honor sir William? "Sara asked politely, knowing this is probably a very dangerous idea, the man's filthy thoughts were visible through his eyes, remembering what happened to her in the holy tower she shivered, but on the other hand, what choice did she really have? her plan was to leave this hall first and discover the castle then she can infiltrate and search for her father, shouldn't be hard since he is the king, she only needed to find him or let him know she was there, the rest should be easy..

The man did not disappoint her and agreed happily to escort her, finding their way out, they walked into the corridors of the castle who had few people in them, that dissapointed William greatly since he wished for a moment of total isolation with this gorgeous naive girl, he felt himself unable to resist the urge to touch her anymore..letting his arm rest cautiously on her back as a normal gesture, he guided her through the corridors and showed her the palace parts explaining details here and there while scanning the place for any hidden corner he can make use of..

In the same time, Sara memorised her way out and in carefully, in a matter of minutes she was able to understand the general architecture of the castle, the royal family courtyards seemed to be un a different section of the palace so it was nothing but a waste of time to keep roaming around with this sticky man, she thought to herself...

"The castle is breathtaking indeed Mr. William, and it is indeed much bigger than i thought, what about where the royal family stays? "

Sara regreted asking this question immediately when she heard someone behind them question in doubt..

"And why would the young lady be asking that? " both of them turned to face the young man in royal cloths and familiar figures, the man was as tall as Eren with thick brown hair and blue eyes, Sara gasped recognizing the similarity this young man had with her father, and William's next sentence confirmed her doubts...

"Your Majesty, i didn't expect to see you here, allow me to introduce you to lady Sara Yokester from the north, i was showing her around since it is her first time visiting our country" William's voice was slightly shaken while talking to King Henry, he knew the man to be as wicked as a fox and didn't exclude the possibility of his dirty scheming to get the foreign girl to cross the king's mind, his doubts were confirmed when he saw the king give him a sly smile with a raised brow..

"That is generous of you to show much hospitality to our guest, but i believe you are needed back in the hall" Henry said firmly and William had no choice but to leave politely, the moment he disappeared from their sight, Henry turned to the stunned Sara and gave her a polite smile..

"Lady Sara it is right? "

"Y... yes your majesty" Sara's voice was shivering, standing next to her brother who happened to be none than the man helping the council get rid of her and her father set on every single alarm in her mind, she didn't dare look him straight in the eyes, looking at the carpet like it is the most interesting thing in the world she heard him saying..

"Did he possibly hurt you in anyway? " Sara raised her face to his words, she couldn't miss the compassion in his voice, that really took her by surprise and didn't no what to say but shake her head to deny..

Henry who saw the strange beautiful girl walking with Sir William didn't miss the dirty way the man was looking at her, he excused himself to check on them in fear that that man would hurt one of the guests and cause problems in such a critical time, he didn't see the girl before so she had to be a foreigner or someone who came with an important person, getting her hurt in his castle during his coronation was enough reason to even start wars in the time where he was trying to unite the kingdoms to fac the raging danger of demons, he was tho a bit taken back when he heard the girl ask about where the royal family stays, thinking about it, he didn't see anyone by her side but a man he never saw before, if she is really a foreign lady, than where is her family? or is it possible that she is a spy?

Henry's doubts evaporated though the moment he saw the girl's face, such innocence can not be faked and he knew many fake people to recognize one, but this girl wasn't, rather more, he felt a weird connection with her.. a protectivety..
