“Elijah is my captain and at the outer edges of your kingdom right now. He may be unaware as to what happened. Your Uncle has been loyal to his sister and the kingdom. That was where I was told to take in an emergency. Synthia, it’s the safest place for you right now.”

Sam walked down the hallway of the castle. He had newly been Knighted and was eager to serve. H passed the Princess. “ your highness.” He gave a small head nods They had been friends and playmates since they learned to walk. His mother was a chamber maid for the Queen and helped out in the kitchen. So it was only natural that he and Syn played. Now it’s been five years since his mother’s passing and he had to earn his keep.

“Was that an order from the future Queen or request from a friend?” He scooped some Venison stew into a bowl and handed it to her “Deer meat. It’s a luxury out here.” He thought for a moment. “We aren’t too far. I’m just looking forward to making sure you’re safe then I can rondevu with Elijah.”

“There you go!” He encouraged her. “Again.” He charged her. Sam smiled as he watched his princess, the love of his life learn to defend herself. They went back and forth for an hour before Sam stopped. “Time to eat. I’m sure you worked up an appetite.”

She had a point. “ alright.” He charged her with his sword. He was skilled enough to not hit or hurt her last minute if needed. “Come on show me what you got , Princess.”

Of course Sam knew she was much more than her outward appearance. He just liked stirring her up a bit. He parried and caught her before she could fall from the forward motion. “ Too readable. You would already be dead. Come on, Princess. Use your head. Everyone has instincts when it comes to fighting. What are yours?” He tried to get her to remember watching him and Elijah spar instead of the routine drills the new Knights would work through.”

Sam looked her up and down. There were some basic things he could teach her. “Alright. I’ve seen you watching the training. Show me what you got.” He took a defensive stance. “Show me that you are not just all beauty.” He winked playfully.

“I don’t think…. I know you will be an excellent Queen. Yes you here are many things you will have to learn as you go, but I’m fully confident in your ability.” He offered her a gentle smile as he made a small fire for cooking. He had some rations on him however by the next sunset he would have to hunt or fish.

Send "Pin!" for your muse to pin mine on the floor. Alternatively send " Pinned!" for my muse to pin yours.

Sam looked at her in silence for a moment. “That’s not a bad idea. I could focus more on the fight at hand if you knew at least the basics.” He stopped and took out a hidden dagger. “Let’s start with this. If someone comes after you go for their neck. Lastly never turn your back on an enemy.”

Once they were at the cabin he helped her to a bed. He put the blanket over her. He kissed her cheek. “Rest as peacefully as you can. I will. Watch over you, Synthia.” He said her name for the first time. “We are safe here.” He was not going to tell her that everything went to her parent’s plan in case something happened. Everyone moved as instructed. The future of the kingdom had to be preserved no matter what.

“Going to get out of your kingdom and go to your uncle. I will leave you there so I can go to Elijah and figure out our next move.” He touched her shoulder. “Look… I…” He sighed and removed his hand.

“Yes. There is a chance and we are looking. My job was to get you out and vanish until word is sent. We have practiced and trained for this. Trust your knights.” He offered her a small smile. “ here.” He tossed her some dried meat, break and clean water.

Sam let her finish getting sick over the edge before speaking. “Your father was slain this night. Your mother is missing. You are the most ly royal left that is an ill breathing and accounted for thanks to Nik’s quick thinking.” E turned to face her and sat down. He let the current take the boat for now. This was the first time he could breathe in hours. “I’m sorry…. This was not supposed to happen.”

“I know this is bad, but you are their leader now. You need to be safe for any hope of your people returning home. I will get you to your uncle. Then I have to go to Elijah.” His mind was fully in soldier mode. “Some of your people escaped others captured. I need to figure out what the next move is.”

Sam nodded as he quickly changed. His sword still at his side. “We have darkness on our side. Come on.” He took her hand and led her outside. There were flames that were dying all around them. Also bodies on the ground. “Keep your face forward.”

A few hours passed and Sam came to retrieve Syn. He was in damaged, blood spattered armor. “Come on. We have an opening and have to move quickly. The castle was taken.” He tried to offer her a comforting smiled. They had killed her father and taken her mother. Many knight lives were lost. Thankfully Nik was already out of town taking some civilians westward.

“Sam will be fine! He is trained for this. You are not. “ He shoved her in a secret room and closed the door locking it before running to fight as well.
