I didn't see her or her clothes in her room. I ran out to the stables and looked if we miss a horse and we are missing one. She must have gone out in the night. Shit. I looked if we miss more and we are....Cornelius's horse was missing too. They went out together... I ran back to the second in hand guard. 'Hey! Did you see Cornelius and Gwen leave??' I asked him. 'Yes, i did sir. Cornelius said that they would be back soon.' He said. 'Did he tell you where he was going?' I asked him. He shook his head, i sighed and ran back inside the castle. 'Brandon! Mateo!' I called out for them, they came soon to me looking a bit concerned. 'What is wrong My King?' Mateo asked me. 'I want you two to take a small army to find Cornelius and Gwen. They went out and are not back. Gwen is caring my child.'I told them rubbing my forehead. 'Understood sir.'Said Brandon. '....Sir....can we take Alex with us?' Asked Mateo. 'Yes, she needs the field experience but. She is YOURS responsibility. Do you two understand?' I said in a stern voice. They both nodded and they ran off.
Alex POV
I was dreaming very nicely before my door SWING open and my blanket got ripped of off me. I sat up with closed eyes, i was about to say something but 'Get up Alex! We have a mission!' Said Brandon. My eyes snapped open and i ran to my bathroom and got ready fast. I put on the royal armor and ran out to them. They looked impressed at me but we ran out of my room to the stables. I got our horses ready while Brandon and Mateo gathered a small army to go with us. We placed our camping gear and extra clothes on our horses and got on our horses. I mounted my horse quickly and we went to our king that was waiting in front of the gates. 'Listen up everyone! Gwen and Cornelius are missing. For how long? I have no idea. Gwen is pregnant. SO please be gentle with her when you find them. I want you all to bring them alive! I hope the luck and god is on your side. Now go!' He roared and we took off. My first ever mission, so exciting.
We rode our horses for a hour or 4 before stopping near a river giving our horses a break. We made a camp near the river. Some went on foot further rest stayed with us. As we had our lunch we heard voices coming from afar. Brandon ran over to the men and gave them a signal to keep watch while we went closer to hear better. We hide in grass, busies and behind thick trees. We waited for the voices to walk past us. The voices walked past us, it sounded like 3 or maybe 4 people talking at once, we watched as they walked further into the woods. I turned my head to Brandon who was sitting next to me and whispered 'Who could that be?' I ask him confused and he shrugged his shoulders.
We carefully looked, and we saw a few enemies. Brandon signaled me to stay and the others to follow him. They sneaked behind the enemies and took them down very fast. Me and the rest of the group came out and tightened them down. ´Let us go!´ One yelled at us. ´Why are you on our land? What is the purpose of your visit?´ Brandon asked them. But they stayed quiet, I came out of the shadow, and they looked surprised. ´He asked you why you are here.´ I repeated. ´We were sent by our King to look for a bride for him.´ One of them spoke up.
´Our Queen is married to Our King. She is pregnant with his child. There is no need to look here for a bride.´ Brandon added. They looked disappointed but understood what we were saying. We let them go and waited for them to go away, but instead, they called their horses and picked me up! They kidnapped me! ´ALEX!!!´ Screamed Brandon. The guards tried to keep up but the enemy horses were faster than the guards on the foot. Before i knew i was far away from them all. I felt around for the small knife that Mateo gave me. Luckily i had it with me, so i took the knife out and stabbed the one who was holding me. He yelled and let me go so, I fell hard on the ground twisting my ankle but i didn´t care at the moment. I ran back to my group.
