The Reader: Hehe :D
Shadouge fan: :D It's Princess Rouge The Bat.
The night took it's part, as the stars were scattered all over the dark blue sky. The whole Kingdom was asleep, except some of people.
Knight were guarding the castle, it was their duty. There were a few then tonight. Mostly only skilled knights were guarding at night, the ones who were stronger and had better reflexes than other.
There was one knight, who was standing farther from the castle near the main gate, as he leaned on the tree, that was growing near. This knight had a dark armor and his mighty sword. The moon reflected on his armor, making it look like an ivory one. The knight had a helmet, that was covering all his face, except his muzzle.
It was obvious that he was frowning and deep in thought, however he kept his guard on. His eyes were sleepy, but he couldn't sleep, as it was his will to guard. The knight's job was tough, but he didn't complain. Besides, he like his job. It was challenging and also, it was an honor to every knight.
His ears twitched, as he heard footsteps. It seemed like someone was running from the castle.
Without hesitation, he pulled his silver sword out, as it gleamed in the moonlight.
But as the person was running closer, the knight spotted that it was a female person in a dress. He quickly hid behind the tree to sneak-attack, if it would be needed.
The person looked around, as she was near the main gate. She was about to open it, but someone grabbed her hand.
"Let me go!" She shouted, trying to free from the knight's grasp.
He looked closer at her and saw that she was a bat and wore a tiara.
"Not a chance, Princess." The knight replied, his voice in a low whisper.
"Hands off or I'll scream!" The ivory bat threatened.
"Not on my watch. I'll return you back to the King." He pulled her back, running very fast.
~At the throne room~
King Soarin held his face in his hands, as he sighed heavily.
"I knew this was wrong decision...But I have no other choice." He whispered to himself.
"I hope she didn't go to far and my knights stopped her. If not, I'll chop their heads of tomorrow!"
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in." The king said, sitting straight up.
"I am sorry for such a late appearance, my Lord." The same knight bowed to Soarin, as he entered the throne room, followed by Rouge.
"So, she did want to ran away, didn't she?" The King narrowed his brows.
"I brought her back as soon as I possibly could." Knight closed the door.
"Thank you, Lancelot. The Princess disappointed me very much today." Soarin stood up and walked to them.
"I have no other choice, if you treat me like I am nothing!" Rouge crossed her arms in defeat.
"Silence! I've had enough of your complaining!" The dark gray bat raised his voice, as he looked at his daughter.
The knight, or Sir Lancelot, to be exact, just watched everything from the distance.
He had no clue what they are talking about, but he guessed everything by the talk.
"If you don't want to go marry the prince, then I have no other choice than force you to do it!" The King lost his temper.
"Come here tomorrow morning and I'll tell you everything, Rouge." He sighed, his blue eyes not leaving his daughter. "Now go to your room!"
Rouge sighed, as she slowly walked to the door. She glanced at Sir Lancelot before leaving the room.
"Lancelot, I want you and Sir Gaiwan lead my daughter to other Kingdom. Tomorrow morning, I'll give an order to prepare your horses. Am I clear?" Soarin looked at his knight.
"Yes, Lord." The knight nodded.
"You are my best knight and I trust you more than others."
"I won't let you down and I'll keep my promise."
"Good to hear. Now go and rest." The King sat on his throne again.
With a nod, the Knight left the room.
