Chapter 43 - The Promise (3)

Elleryn forces herself out of her room, she needs to get out of this place, she feels suffocated as the surrounding walls seemingly creep up on her and constrict her movement, her throat feels stuffed and she can't take this feeling anymore. The guard tries to stop her, but she closes her eyes and quickly chants a spell, the two guards collapse in front of her, currently in deep sleep.

She turns around and rushes to the forest, her eyes sting from the tears that she tried to hold from falling down. The surrounding cold night and eerie dark sky only make her want to cry more, she quickens her steps, running into the dark forest, wanting to be far away from the palace.

How could he?

Break that promise?

Does that mean she can't be with him as well, does that mean she can't stay by his side.
