Chapter 4: Your father demand your presence in the palace immediately
Diana and Irene spent the whole day at the river in the wood and they went back riding on Barbie.
Irene wonder what the princess loves about the river that made her spent the whole day there but no one actually knows. The river is calm and cool but that doesn't mean the heiress should go there alone with her personal maid and relax there.
-Back in the palace-
The queen went to the princess chamber to ask about her but was met with two royal soldiers at the entrance.
They bow their heads in greetings and the Queen nodded.
"Is the princess inside?" Queen Hector asked with a golden on her dark hair. The black silky smooth dress match her status as a royalty.
"She went on a walk your majesty" Dimitri reply bowing his head slightly.
" A walk? The princess went on a walk all by herself? " Queen Hector asked squinting her eyes curiously at them with range in her heart.
"Yes your majesty. She went with Irene her personal maid" Dante reply with a straight face and the queen gave both of them a thunderous slap on the face.
Paa
"You have the gut to tell me to my face that my daughter the princess went alone for a walk by herself and the two of you are here looking like morons and doing nothing all day" Queen Hector yelled in range while Dimitri and Dante holds their cheeks with their hand.
The queen is sure a good slapper. She should be given an award for the best slapper.
With her thin fray body, you wouldn't believe she can slap like that. When it comes to her daughter, the princess Diana she can go to any length to unleash her range. She don't joke with her only child.
"You know how dangerous it is out there and you allow the princess to go on a walk alone. If anything should happen to my daughter, you will have your head in plate" queen Hector threatened and turns around to leave furiously. On her way she bumped on Sarah Claudius. Claudius Odysseus wife. She has reddish hair and orange eyes. With red lipstick pasted on her lips she looks more like a witch..
They both glare at each other with hatred and went different ways. She wonder what Sarah could be doing in the palace. Anyway she's a member of the royal family and that gives her the right to be in the palace.
Sarah is Claudius lovely wife, his partner in crime and a caring mother to their son. She is the first daughter of the Williams and typically she is Helen Hector elder sister. They were born of the same parents and grew up under the same Villa. They were such lovely sisters when they were young. They love and care for each other, share things in common and even bath together sometimes but unfortunately envy and hatred set them apart. They became arch enemies when the Odysseus son Hector who was a prince came into their life. He shows interest in Helen the younger daughter of the Williams which made the elder daughter Sarah jealous. She was jealous and feel bad that her little sister is going to get married before her and not only getting married but to a prince who is the heir to the throne. She was jealous and brutal towards her sister Helen . She tried to ruin her image as a woman by setting her up with men but nevertheless that still don't stop Hector from loving Helen. She went as far as giving her body to the prince for free in order to get pregnant for him but the prince escaped her temptation and avoided her.
Luckily Hector got married to Helen and she was taken to the royal home.
Sarah begins acting kind to Helen in order to be close to Hector. She usually pays her a visit in the palace and try apologising to her but Helen was not having it. On a particular day she bumped into Claudius on her way out of the palace. They discussed for sometime and they agreed to work together. Claudius promised her he will take the throne from Hector and that will make her the queen that she don't have to fight with her sister over Hector. Claudius in the other hand has feelings for Helen and didn't want her to get hurt. So Sarah and Claudius both agreed on one goal and they got married 13 days after Helen and Hector got married and that gave Sarah access to the royal family where she flaunts their wealth here and there. For the past 15 years till now Diana doesn't know Helen is her mother elder sister. She's been kept in the dark and that's why her mother is always protective of her because there is a lioness lurking around the palace and she don't want her daughter to get hurt.
Queen Hector rushed to the throne room and met her husband sitting on the throne in his royal regalia.
"Your majesty the princess is not in the palace" Helen said aloud walking towards the throne and Hector eyes turns read all of a sudden.
"What do you mean by the princess is not in the palace, isn't she in her room? " Hector ask with hairs standing in his body.
"No my love. Her guards said she went on a walk alone with her personal maid Irene when I went to check on her in her room" Helen said with tears trying to force themselves out from her eyes.
Hector jolt down from the throne and embrace his wife.
"Don't cry, we will find her. She's a royalty and nothing will happen to her" Hector said trying to comfort his wife but deep down his heart is heavy and filled with range. Only the almighty knows what he will do to the royal soldiers assigned to the princess and Irene her personal maid for allowing the princess to take a walk alone.
"People has been disappearing out there recently, do you think it's safe for our daughter? " Helen asked as she wept I'm her husband embrace.
He called the soldier standing by his throne and he kneel down with one knee before him.
"Assemble the royal armies. Tell Eric Troup to report before me immediately. I have a task for them" Hector orders and his voice echo in the throne room.
"Nothing will happen to Diana" he said and embrace Helen tightly sniffing her scent to calm himself down.
In less than three minutes. Eric Troup assemble themselves outside the palace. The king walked to the front of the palace at the top with his queen by his side and the soldiers under .
"My daughter princess Diana is not in the palace. I want you to go out there and bring her back to the palace. Do not come back without her" The King ordered and the soldiers match out with their horses.
-Back in the wood -
Barbie trot through the wood with Diana and Irene on her back.
Diana caught sight of the royal soldiers and kept quiet. Her father must have find out she left the palace alone .
"My princess" Irene called with bafflement.
"Yes Irene" Diana reply sternly without taking her eyes from the soldiers approaching them.
"The.. the royal soldiers.. they are coming for us" Irene stuttered with fear.
" I'm aware " Diana gave a short reply and Irene sigh behind her.
Barbie halt on her track as the royal soldier approach them. Eric the Troup leader stop at the princess front and order the others to stop by raising his right hand.
"Princess, your father demand your present in the palace immediately" Eric said with his husky voice.
" I'm already on my way to the palace as you can see" Diana scoff with her long lashes flickering in the air.
"You have to come with us" Eric order and Irene hide at the back of the princess.
"take your men out of my way I want to pass" Diana order with her cold aura engulfing the area.
Some of the soldiers shriek back when they sense her aura in the air.
Eric lift his hands up and his men parted and the princess rode her horse with the soldiers tailing behind her.
It took about half an hour before they got to the palace.
The king and the queen were waiting anxiously for their daughter return outside the palace. Immediately Diana appears with the royal soldier tailing behind her. Queen Hector rushed towards her and the king drag her back.
"Don't be too fast. Let her come down and report her whereabout to us" Hector said holding Helen arms and Helen just sigh in disappointment.
She wanted to hug her daughter but it seems like she will have to wait a little bit.
Diana climb down from the horse with the assistant of Irene. She walked towards her father with Irene tailing behind her slowly while one of the soldiers took Barbie to the stable.
"Greetings your majesty" she greeted bowing her head slightly.
" Diana" Hector called with a husky voice.
"Yes father" she reply looking at her feet. She dare not look at her father's face.
"Where are you coming from?" He asked and she raise her head up to peep at him.
" From the wood father " she reply and silence engulf the entire area. From the wood all by herself? Her mother thought as she lost consciousness.
