The Forgotten Princess

Alicia Rosalyn Von Heist is the youngest daughter of King Edward of Alvannia. She is an illegitimate child born from a maid in the castle her father has fancied. After her mother died when she was young her father took her home and ‘adopted’ her. Because of her low birth and illegitimacy she was neglected by her father the king and bullied by her stepmother the queen and her step-siblings. When she was 16 years old a war broke out with the neighboring country of Grandcrest. The war lasted for two long years and the two countries have made a truce at the end. The Grandcest empire demanded a princess to be married to the young king. It is said that the king of Grandcrest specifically asked for the hand of Alicia. Alicia was 18 years old when she was sent to Grandcrest as the fiancee of the young king who was said to be a cold blooded evil tyrant, King Regaleon of the Grandcrest empire.

The Escape Plan (2)

I looked around and when I saw no one around I was about to dash towards the bushes when I heard a guard speak.

"Hey you!" The guard said. I was frozen in place after hearing those words.

'Oh no, sh*t!' I cursed inwardly, my heart was thumping really hard right now. 'Was I caught? Just when I was half way trhu.'

"Why are you dilly dallying while here?" The guard asked. That was then when I saw he was talking to another guard. This made sigh in relief.

'So I wasn't found out. Thank God.' I thought.

"Well there is nothing to guard here in the garden right?" The other guard replied. "It is rather boring you know."

"Well you are correct there." The guard said. "But we cannot be lax. Did you hear about the knights that were punished because of their misconduct in their work? I heard they were given fifty lashed of the whip." The guard shivered in fright.
