Cassia and the others were settled down for the day to camp before continuing their traveling to their destination. She and her ladies went to the waters to bathe and relax before the men go. She was happy to see her ladies, all whom she as friends with.

Sure, Ariadne was her best friend and soul sister, but she was close to all of them. She made sure all of them were cared for, and so was their families. The ones that came with her had no families or husbands.

She gave them a choice. It was always their choice.

They all laughed and squealed as they splashed at each other. They had fun while they were in the water. So unaware of the upcoming danger that was soon coming to them all.

Soon, they headed back to their camp site to warm up and settle in for the night. Two men left to go hunt for dinner. Cassia was given a blanket to wrap around herself as she was cold from the water they had been in.

She leaned against the carriage to speak with some of her men with her on this journey. They also joked and laughed about silly things. Her family had loyal people. Her family respected the people under them, so they showed the royal family the respect they deserve.

Cassia laughed as one of the guards made a joke. Thats when all hell broke loose.

Cassia was collecting some firewood, wanting to be as helpful as she could to the others. She was with her ladies. She was walking back when the sounds of feet running to them, made her stop.

She saw some guards running to them. "Your Highness! We need to get you out of here!" One said gabbing her arm, making her drop the wood in her grasp to the ground.

"It's warriors of the The Rouge Prince." Another warned her. They wanted to get themselves and the princess out of the way so they wouldn't capture her.

They all have heard of The Rouge Prince's ruthlessness. How he treated people. He was a monster on the battlefield. So, they didn't want the princess to be captured by him or his men.

Soon, the sounds of hooves came thundering around them. "Hurry Princess." The guard holding her arm said pulling her away. But they weren't able to make a run for it as they became surrounded by horses.

Cassia made sure her ladies stayed together and behind her. She kept the fear in her heart off her face as she watched them.

"Who dares cross the woods belonging to the future king?" A soldier demanded. Cassia saw one of her men were going to say something, but she spoke before he did, in the soldier's language.

"We are simple farmers sir. Traveling to find a new home with new land. We apologize for trespassing. We had no idea that we were doing so. We will turn back and find an unclaimed passage to continue our journey." She spoke confidently.

The one who had spoken to them looked down at her from his horse. "Farmers you say?" He asked with a grin. A grin that made her gut drop to her stomach even more then it was before. She didn't know if they saw their carriage before finding them. But she would soon learn.

"If you were only farmers. Then why have such a fancy carriage back at your camp? It seems like a royal carriage." The guard asked before getting down from his steed and went to her. "Seems like a royal carriage." He taunted.

Cassia kept her head held high. "It was. We captured it when the princess tried to kill us for asking for food. So, we killed them, and took everything to sell for supplies." She told him. He tilted his head at her.

"Murdering royalty is a death sentence. I will have to bring you in." He said before putting a hand on her shoulder and the wind was knocked out of her when he punched her in the gut. She fell to the ground coughing and heaving.

She looked and saw her men going to attack them. She quickly told them to stand down in their birth language. The men obeyed, and one of her ladies helped Cassia up. She then spoke to the soldiers.

He grinned at her. "Let's go." He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to her camp where men were dead that had stayed behind to protect the camp and such. Cassia's heart broke for them.

She and the living Fae's that were left into a caged carriage.

"I think Prince Daemon will like this find. He likes the pretty faces." One of the soldier's said as they reached in to touch Ariadne's face. She glared and bit his hand. Cassia grabbed her and blocked an attack from the soldiers.

Cassia felt the slap on her back, and she turned to glare at him over her shoulder.

"Let's hope he gives us a turn to break you whores." He spat at them before leaving to load everything they could before leaving.

Cassia and the others rocked with the movement the horses carrying their cage as they walked on the way the soldiers wanted them to go. Cassia had to be brave. She couldn't let them see her fear. She couldn't show weakness.

She wouldn't allow it.

Though she was terrified. She wanted to break down and sob with her fear.

She heard who they were bringing them to.

Prince Daemon Targaryen. The Rouge Prince.

Her doom.
