Author's Notes: None really - but I told ya Part Two was coming, didn't I?
Last Time : Who is after Serenity? (Epilogue to Part One was Ch. 5 for your FYI)
Serenity, reclined tiredly against the pillows of the bed. She glanced sleepily at the once again bustling maids in the rooms, one eye barely open. 'Blasted Endymion,' she thought. As soon as Malachite had spoken earlier, Endymion had paled drastically and surged to his feet, running from the room, sending a loud roar of an order to Malachite as the doors slammed. He had not returned for at least two hours, she guessed by looking at the setting sun outside.
She sighed again - a bit louder than before in hopes of gaining Malachite's attention, but he stood stock still, ever faithful, beside the door of her room. He neither flinched nor moved, and he was beginning to get on Serenity's last nerves. Pushing her covers back quickly, she pushed her way out of bed, wobbling at first - still exhausted from the last time she was on her feet. Grabbing the bedpost, she regained herself, though, and quickly snapped her fingers gaining the attention of the maid and Malachite.
The maid quickly rushed to Serenity's side, helping her from the bed and into a nearby chair. Ordering a small servant girl to fetch a dress from Serenity's room, the made began to wash Serenity's face off where the blood and begun to flow once again. Malachite seemed amused at the sight.
Serenity was such a small creature, having power over another living creature just seemed completely out of character. Malachite smirked softly, opening his mouth to order the maids to stop their bustling about when a foot soldier came bursting through the doors.
"Commedante Malachite!" He cried, saluting Malachite before blurting out his message. "The castle walls have been infiltrated by spies. His majesty orders the immediate evacuation of all royalty!"
No sooner did the boy pause to catch his breath than did Malachite begin to bark orders to all in the room. "You!" He yelled, pointing at the now frozen maids. "Leave this room, NOW!" He walked briskly to Serenity as the maids scampered out the door.
"Princess-" He barked, surprisingly in French, throwing the dress the servant girl had retrieved into Serenity's arms. "Put this on... quickly..." He turned his back on her motioning for the foot soldier to leave the room. He continued to speak, however. "Do not be frightened, but the castle walls have been infiltrated. We must escape to the secret sanctuary of the Spanish Monarchy." Finding Serenity's cloak, he turned, head downcast, extending it towards her.
When she cleared her throat, making her readiness audible to him, he turned and led her to a painting on the wall, pulling it out slowly, as if he were opening a door. He grabbed her by her waist and lifted her into the secret hallway, climbing in himself. Closing the painting back he led Serenity down a maze of tunnels and staircases, moments before four men burst into Serenity's now abandoned room.
