The Forgotten Princess

Chapter 437 A New Enemy (2)

In an unknown place a hooded cloaked person enters a dark and omnimous cave. The person walked inside the cave holding a gas lamp to light his way.

Inside the cave was very dark and the lamp that the person was holding was only lighting a good portion to let him see his way.

From a distance, chilling sounds of beasts can be heard. It was echoing inside the cave as it bounces through the walls. Eye were glimming at a distance in the darkness as if they were shining orbs.

The hooded robed person was unfazed with these chilling occurances and continued walking to the inner parts of the cave.

After a time of walking, the hooded robed person came into a cavern. The person hanged the gas lamp he was holding in the cavern walls and after that numerous lamps around the cavern lit up simultaneously. It lit up the dark cavern and showed the inside.

The cavern was round shaped. It was hallow except for an altar at the center of the cavern with a glass coffin on top of it. The altar was surrounded by writings and hieroglyphs of unknown origin.

The hooded robed person walked towards the altar and carefully looked at the glass coffin. Inside was a beautiful woman with platinum blonde hair. She appeared to be sleeping peacefully inside the intricate glass coffin.

"Your majesty." The hooded robed person said and caressed the cheek of the sleeping woman inside the glass coffin. "I have returned."

The hooded robed person opened his hood and his face emerged. He appeared to be a young man in his late twenties, with blonde hair. He was good looking and looked well built.

The young man looked at the sleeping woman inside the glass coffin lovingly while caressing her cheek.

"I was not able to kill your enemy for you last night abd because of that I apologize." The young man said. "But do not worry. I will surely kill them for you and after that you will wake up and we will be together once again. I promise you that you would have everything that you wished for when that time comes."

The young man was whispering loving words while looking at the woman inside the glass coffin.

The room started to dim even with the lighted lamps illuminating the inside the cavern. A dark shadow started to creep inside.

"YOU HAVE COME BACK EMPTY HANDED." An omnimous and dark voice echoed inside the cavern.

The young man shivered after hearing the omnimous voice. He hurriedly hot in to his knees and bowed his head low just inches from the ground.

"My lord." The young man's voice was trembling. "I apologize for my incompetence. I never realized the extent of the magical power the baby has."

"I HAVE TOLD YOU NEVER TO UNDERESTIMATE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST A LITTLE CHILD." The dark omnimous voice said.

"It was a mistake that will never happen again my lord." The young man said.

"THEN I EXPECT YOU WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN, EX-HIGH PRIEST HECTOR." The dark omnimous voice replied.

"I promise you my lord, you will get the child as I promised." The young man who was identified as High Priest Hector replied while shivering in fright.

"OF COURSE YOU WILL." The dark omnimous voice said. "I HAVE GIVEN YOU AND THIS WOMAN UNENDING YOUTH AS FIRST PAYMENT. I WILL LNLY GIVE YOU THE REST AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN ME WHAT I ASKED FOR."

"And I shall my dark lord." Hector replied. "All I want for is for my Patricia to wake up and be by my side forever. And for that I will give you what I promised."

"YOU CAN USE MY MINIONS. THEY ARE UNDER YOUR BIDDING." The dark omnimous voice said. "I EXPECT THAT WHEN I RETURN YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE TASK I HAVE GIVEN YOU."

"You are going away my lord?" Hector asked.

"I WILL BE GOING TO ANOTHER PLACE FOR A WHILE." The dark omnimous voice replied. "I EXPECT THAT IN MY RETURN YOU WOULD HAVE WHAT I HAVE ASKED FOR. AND I WILL BRING THIS WOMAN BACK TO LIFE AFTER."

"Do not worry my lord." Hector replied. "With your legions at my call, I will have what you want in your return."

"I WILL HOLD YOU TO YOUR WORD, HECTOR." The dark omnimous voice text from said.

After that, the dark shadow slowly crept away and the room became bright once more.

Hector stood up and once again looked over Patricia's body who was lying inside the glass coffin.

" I promise you your majesty, once you wake up you will have everything that you have desired." Hector said. "With the power the dark lord has bestowed me and together with his legion, I will eliminate those that hindered you in the past and we will live happily ever after."

Back at the lycan's settlement, Regaleon and Alicia's party are ready to depart.

"Thank you for your hospitality Belgor." Regaleon said. "If you need anything, do not be shy to reach out to me."

"Thank you Regaleon, but I am sure we can manage." Belgor replied.

"We are more than just allies Belgor." Regaleon said. "Feel free to send a letter if you need help."

"I will do so when needed." Belgore replied and patted Regaleon on the shoulder. "I just hoped we did not have such an occurrence after we have met once again. Be careful on your journey. I believe those wargs are after you."

"Thank you Belgor and we will be careful." Regaleon replied.

Regaleon stepped inside the carriage and sat down next to me. The twins were at the other seat playing with they toys. He looked at us, inhaled and then sighed.

"What is it Leon?" I asked with a tinge of worry.

"I am just worried." Regaleon said. "This new enemy that emerged from out of no where. And they are targeting our children and you specifically."

"I also worry about that." I replied and looked at the twins. "It is not just only us now Leon. We have our children that we need to protect. We need to protect them from harm. We cannot let those creatures get to them."

"Do not worry my love. I will not let them get their hands on our children or you." Regaleon promised. He embraced me in his arms and I can feel the warmth and the relief it gave me.

"We just need to know who is it that is behind these creatures." Regaleon said. "The voice that was heard and the one that shot you from a distance, I am sure he is the one behind this. We will find him Lili, I will do what it takes to find him and make him pay for what he did."

"Hmm." I nodded with Regaleon's words.

"Your majesty." William whi was outside called. "We are ready to depart."

"Then let us go." Regaleon said.

The carriage started to move and we continued on our journey.
