A/N:The exams are almost over...I'll be updating more soon. Now, on to the story.
Once Jen had left, Mal quickly went back to her room to carry out her plan. She had thought of a plan when walking in the garden with Jen. She would leave the palace. She could never spend the rest of her life with someone whom she hated.
Taking out a backpack, Mal stuffed some clothes in it from the trunk. She did not pack any dresses, as she thought that she would not use them since she was leaving. Little did she know, miles away, a prince was thinking the same thing.
A/N: the prince is NOT thinking about the dresses. But something else. Ok?
Yaven opened his door. The coast was clear. Quickly he stepped out of the room, carrying his bag along. He was dressed casually as he did not want to attract attention, at least, not when your're trying to escape.
Lucky my room is on the 2nd floor, so I needn't go down so many floors and risk being caught, the runaway prince thought.
The prince met neither guards nor any of the servants. He got out easily. The present King of Tortall did not stress so much on guards as they had the backing of the powerful Valendra, which was well-known as the most powerful country in the region and one would think twice before attacking Valendra.
Furthermore, the 'PeaceMaker', King Jaysen did not like using violence to overcome problems between countries and people alike. He preferred to be kind and fair. He gave everyone a second chance. Befroe sending his army troops to war, he would first request for a treaty. Because of this, most countries respected him. Everyone had thought it was wierd that the influential Valendra did not attack Tortall.But even Prince Yaven was taught the 'King Jaysen way', as some called it, but still, he had to learn how to fight. However, he was taught to be fair and to give others a chance before he was given the chance to touch a weapon that could kill.
Once he got out into the grounds, Yaven headed straight to the stables. "Come, Hearty, come," he called softly as he opened the stable door.
A beautiful horse came into view. He was chestnut- colored, with a swishing mane down his back. Hearty neighed softly, glad to see his master again. Yaven led him out of the palace grounds and got on his horse. He rided towards the gate.
"I have to go out for a while, Father has granted me permission, open the gate," Yaven commanded the guards. They looked at him and opened the gate, not daring to disobey the prince, since he had the King's permission. Also, the guards trusted their Prince. They did not think that the Prince would disobey his father. Yaven had to lie in order to get out of the palace. Otherwise, the guards would not let him out.
He was out. He was free. Finally. He would not have to marry that Princess Malrina.
Now I have to decide where to go. I can't stay in the city, Father will find me soon enough. I suppose the only place where Father won't find me is Valendra. The prince thought.
A/N: Pls review…
A/N: This was a bit short, I know, but I just had to end it here. I know I'm always giving u cliffies, but that's just the fun.
A/N: I'll most probably update every 3-5 days. The most I'll go is 1 week. OK? So, pls don't keep asking me to update.
