The following day Levyndrion went to exercise with the General as usual, and he was now back to his room to rest at evening, the moment he laid his head he was drawn to the same dream however this time somethings changed
******************
They were hidden in a cupboard, he was holding onto the little girl's hand so tightly as the creature was walking to them, the white light beamed out of nowhere and the next thing he saw was the little girl laying on his laps unconsciously, she fainted! 'Wake up! wake up!' he kept shookinh the little girl but to no prevail.
*****************
His eyes opened widely from the dream , he was brought back by a sudden loud thud in his bedroom, he wiped the sweat on his forehead his eyes narrowed at the figure standing that was standing near the open window, where the sound cane from. The person wore full black from head to toes , like a ninja , even the face was covered.
He reached his legs to the floor and stretched his hand to pick up his sword thanhe slept with beside him, his steps so gracefully staring at whoever the ninja guy was , ready to serve his neck right, the ninja moved back "Who are you? Who sent you here?" came a firm voice from Levy, the person walked towards him faster but Levy was much more faster than the ninja and caught his hand , wasting no time he twirled him and making the ninja face the front while squeezing his hand to talk. He leaned to.the ninjas ear "Are you a deaf?"., the ninja flinched "Let me go! Will you!" , Levy was surprised to hear a female voice instead, He is a she? he questioned himself, the person stomped on his feet purposefully, Levy hissed but not letting her go she struggled to get away and she almost fell but was caught on her tiny waist, Levy pulled her closer to him and the peace of cloth that was covering her face fell off , her shiny curly black hairs spread out, falling to her back obediently which were tied on a low bun, they both froze the moment their eyes met.
Jer heart was beating faster than ever to be held so up close by a man, for someone who was never touched by any before except for her family , he furrowed "You?" his tone contained a slight anger , "Yes me! now can you let me stand !" blurted Princess Audrey, Levy stood her properly and freed her form his arms, "Why would you break I'm when you could've just knocked? What if I had hurt you!? " he sang the words furiously with a frown settled on his face, he understands that she was a sneaky Princess but never thought she sneaks into someone else's bedroom too! that's too at night! , he walked back and placed the sword back on his bed.
"Now now now.... calm down okay? " she said but the man was still angry "Okay fine! sorry... but we wouldn't be able to go out I used the door Princy " a small smile etched on her delicate lips, Levy was left puzzled, 'Won't be able to go out? Who's going out with who?' he said within him.
"And where do you suppose were going to Princess Audrey?" he was very stunned by her, she just intruded him to ask him to go out with him right? it should be vice versa situation, he should be the one to break onto a girls room and ask her to go out! but this girl!, he shook his head .
"To the market Ofcourse! Aren't you excited?" she blurted pulling forth a bag that she wore and took out matching outfits she handed them to him. "Here, put them on before we go out" she walked to the mirror to wrap back her mask , she toed her hairs into a low bun again.
Levy was still trying to process her presence looking down at the outfits on his hands "What is we get caught?" he asked raising his head to face her , Audrey clicked her tongue, the man hasn't even moved yet to change and was still here spouting nonsense "Oh hello there Princy ... I've sneaked out about thousand times and never caught even once ! rest assured nobody knows the secret passages way better than I do! not even the mighty General Juan!" she chukled feeling so proud of herself before turning back to the mirror to wrap the mask.
Levyndrion sighed and moved change, what he heard was right! this girl is very stubborn onve she puts her minds on something.
He came out fully dressed, "Wow! you know how to tie the mask?" she was even more excited, Levyndrion wmt to put on his shoes "Let's say I'm just good at things " and that was not bragging, it was the truth. Levyndrion was simply fast to catch many things, he just saw her tying it a moment ago and his mind already captured the whole thing making Audrey roll her eyes, she felt like the boy was exaggerating now.
"Follow me!" dhe jumped out of the window as if it was not far to get down, Levy gasped and rushed to take a look if she was still alive and kicking, she was standing on her feet perfectly fine, she waved her hand for him to come down ,Levy closed his eyes and took and deep breath "You got this!" before he jumped down the window, he stood up just fine as well, he wondered if the window wasn't really that far and just played mind games with him.
"You have to believe in yourself Princy, there is much more to you than you can imagine " said Audrey and held his hand to hide him behind her the moment she saw light flashing from the guards, there were on troll now .
Levyndrion registered her words "There is" he murmured, after navigating the area with her eyes Audrey moved along with him to one of the windows that seemed to be if a basement.
She opened it and the two of them hoped in, it was very dark in the basement, she left him standing and walked somewhere within the darkness and picked up a torch, she lighten it up and let the way , she was very used to this thought Levy.
The two of them were able to sneak out of the castle effortlessly. Levy was impressed by Audrey, her abilities if sneaking out and memorising things was next level, whereas if it were him the.he would've possibly get lost down the passageways.
Once they stepped out they walked to a certain deserted house , took out a horse, he was even more taken back now, only God knows how she arrange her plans , she should be a war officer at this rate.
"Are you gonna seat at the front or at the back?" he was brought back from his daze by her question , He looked at the horse for a minute, how could he let a girl ride him? he was already face slapped by her plans so far and he would be stupid to accept this too, "At the back" he said , Audrey climbed the horse and extended her hand to him, she held the reins preparing to leave once the Prince got on "Hold onto me, it's going to be very windy we don't want you to fall down ont he way" she said mockingly, Levy furrowed what did this girl take him for? a leaf? a speck of dust?. his pride was heart.
She kicked her legs and the horse set out, the movement had him move closer to her when he purposefully left a gap between them, her eyes widened to feel him behind her, the horse was galloping you fast that Levy was left with no choice but to but to hold on to her waist, she shut her eyes so hard cursing herself for not arranging the horses. She never went through such emotions before, she was a teenager now do even a tiny movement can affect her sanity, and then her body..... why was it reacting like a stupid log when he was just holding her not to fall. She wondered if he was feeling the same way too. She huffed and the the only thing she wished is for them to reach downtown so she could be freed from this torture.
The wind blew on their faces, luckily she wrapped her hairs tightly to avoid any unnecessary drama.
They reached at the market , Audrey tooked her to every shop that she knew and bought things too, she walking around like any other normal people, she was already used to the environment unlike him, and that was their difference, she was used to the place, the noise and everything while to him everything was new , it was his first time to be very free in his life, it's not like he couldn't sneak out or never tried but that the security back at Ximpton was too tight and he would always ends up getting caught.
Audrey pulled him to a certain shop, there were papers that you choose and write down your wishes or prayers and then tie it with a thread to a lantern and let it fly away to the sky. There were many lanterns already on the night sky asking it look very beautiful just like the fairytale.
"Do you believe in such things?" asked Levy, he barely trust such absurdly made up things. She nodded with a smile, Audrey payed some coins before picking up two papers and gave one to him, he didn't have no choice but to oblige with her, the two of them wrote their wishes in secret and tied them on the lanterns, they let them fly away , they had to crane tbjer necks to see them flying high above the sky, Audrey chuckled making him to avert his gaze to her instead, she liked very pleased, her green eyes beaming and her smile spreading so beautifully.
