My Journey- Part Five

" Ah,so it is true that you king Harold! Whom we have trusted through many years has stolen our princess!" Dorian yelled in anger then he and the other men drew their swords.1

" Stolen! I have not been stolen I came to.... to seek King Harold's council and you have no right to accuse him of such a crime!" I said boldly but Dorian walked right up to me and pulled me by the arm toward the door.2

" You have poisoned our princess' thoughts! No doubt a trick of you and your evil black magicians! This evil will not go un-punished beware, King Harold my King Stephan is greater and for this event we will settle for nothing less than war!" He said grabbing my arm. I felt so much pain in my arm that I could not speak. I felt like I was about to cry. My face tightened and my eyes shut it looked as though I had a headache.3

" Please... let... go!" I was begging. He then sneered at the King and ran out of the hall. The men behind us following. He lifted me onto his horse (finally letting go of my arm, while I protested and tried to get off) then he got up and sat behind me and grabbed my stomach forcing my back against his chest armour.4

He and I were riding very fast out of the village myself in a sense of hostility. I did not like being pressed against him and when we got to the outside of the city I finally decided not to speak to him anymore and protest, but to scream and protest!5

" WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING! I went to him I was not kidnapped and they were not to be set to blame!" I yelled and frowned at him, then I pulled his hand off my middle.6

" Eve, my dear Eve. I am no fool. I knew very well what happened. I am actually very happy that you did decide to try and warn them! You see darling you have finally given me that which I lacked!" He said placing his hands now at my hips (which made me shiver) and he smiled.7

" What is that Dorian!" I growled moving his hands once again off me.8

" A reason my beauty! We could not go to war without a reason! We were going to make it up but you have now provided us with solid proof! Eve you are a beautiful and quite learned girl, but I will always be smarter and one step ahead of you always! Your journey is over! The war will begin whether you like it or not!" He said proudly.9

I then thought. I had done this! I had created the war and it was all my fault! I did go to the village in an attempt to warn them but had instead given them even more trouble. The war will now start soon! I began to cry slow tears that streaked down my face. I did not whimper but just cried silent tears of sadness. Then Dorian noticed them.10

" Oh do not blame yourself Eve. They would have been in war with or without your help it was not your fault. Your deep blue eyes are not meant to carry tears of despair. It is amazing how your mother has passed so much of her beauty to you. You shall make a fine bride!" He said oddly then stopped the horse. " We will camp here tonight tomorrow we do not stop riding we will make it to our home tomorrow."11

The men set up camp for it was very rude indeed for a woman to help with any work that needs to be done! It gave me time though I thought of what he said about me making a fine bride. I had never thought of marriage. I had never even been in love before. I only wish that I had not thought so stupidly of his comments.12

" Your tent is ready, your majesty. Please do sleep well. I am very surprised Eve. At really how you can still look beautiful in peasant clothes!" Dorian said then turned away to talk to his men.13

I went to sleep that night, afraid... afraid for what tomorrow had in store for me next. My Journey is now over, I must now find a way to stop this war from In The Castle.14
