"You are planning to kill me on the way, don't you?"
A smirk appeared at the corners of Sebastian's mouth but the next second it was gone.
"Why are you not saying anything? Are you really planning on killing me on the way?
But this won't help you in any way. You won't get Ursala but if you promise me my safety, I can help you in this matter."
Saya walked towards the bed and stopped near it. Right now, she was scared seeing how calm he was.
She heard many rumors about the Prince and even though he did not hurt her in any way now, she could not say that he was not going to hurt her ever.
"I am not interested in erasing your pathetic existence."
"Prince Sebastian..."
"Just go to sleep. I am tired too. We will leave early tomorrow."
He motioned her to go back to her palace while Saya pressed her lips together.
"Can I get my own room there?"
She asked him who opened his eyes and glared at her. He was not going to stay in one room with her but now that she mentioned it by herself he felt disrespected.
Sebastian did not reply and Saya went back to sleep. But the next day, only trouble came for her.
As she came out and sat in the carriage with Mary, she found Sebastian talking to a young boy. He looked taller and muscular but everyone was like him in here.
"He is Felix." Mary told her.
"He just turned eighteen last month and is very kind. What a good kid."
Felix was a new addition in Sebastian's personal guards and their loyalty was only for Sebastian.
But this was not what scared Saya. As Sebastian walked towards the carriage, a woman appeared out of nowhere and held his way.
"Prince Sebastian, I heard you are leaving. How can I stay without you here?"
Saya was stunned hearing their faint voices. He way the woman approached Sebastian, it seemed like she was very friendly with Sebastian.
"Move." Sebastian looked angry but the woman suddenly held his arm and hugged it. Saya knitted her brows but the next second Sebastian not only freed his arm but slapped the woman across her face.
"How dare you to touch me with your filthy body?"
The place was covered with the deathly aura and no one moved forward to help the woman or stop Sebastian.
"You pathetic w***e. If these men are playing with you then you thought you are special. I will show you how special you are. Take her to the dungeon and make sure she never sees the sun again."
The woman stared at the prince with wide eyes as blood flew from her mouth. The slap nearly break her jaw.
Sebastian dusted his clothes with a hateful expressions on his face. No one questioned him for what he did and not they helped the woman. She brought the trouble on her when she touched the Prince. Everyone knows how much Sebastian hate women and their touch. The younger prince was a demon inside and it was better to stay away from him.
Sebastian moved towards his carriage while Saya still looked stunned.
"Princess Saya."
Mary softly called her name.
"How can he hit a woman?"
"She was stage one who touched the Prince first. I can only advise you one thing. Never make him angry. The only person who can control the Prince is Prince Kyle. But now, You will be all alone with him in the cold Palace. So, it's better to stay away from his eyes."
Mary advised Saya who inhaled and exhaled deeply. Her heart was trembling with fear.
...........
At night, they made a stop near a stream. Since they started journey, Saya did not see Sebastian anywhere and now she was sitting on a rock while Mary warmed some water for her so she could wash herself.
The morning incident was still fresh in Saya's brain and she did not want to meet Sebastian now. She was scared of him.
There were not many people with them. Only a handful of guards. The remaining went to search for food in the forest.
"Princess Saya, you can wash yourself now." Mary informed her and seeing that Saya did not move, she walked towards her and sat near her.
"Princess, are you still thinking about what happened earlier?"
"Mary, I can't forget about it."
"Princess, it was not the first time she seduced the prince but it was the first time she touched him.
You did not notice but she knew you were in the carriage. She knew you were looking at them but she forgot one thing. When Prince Sebastian gets angry he never cared for anyone.
But if it was a woman and a man touched her without her permission would you still think the same about the situation?"
Saya looked at the older woman who smiled softly.
"You won't. Right?
Now please wash yourself. You might be feeling tired due to the journey. We have a long way to go and you should take a good sleep tonight."
Saya nodded and got up. As she walked towards the carriage, suddenly the place was filled with men wearing black from head to toe. The guards started fighting while Saya could not understand what was happening.
Why would they be attacked like this when Sebastian was not here? And then something clicked in her mind.
Sebastian was not here.
"Princess Saya, run..."
She heard Mary's voice but suddenly something hit her head. Saya cried with pain as she held her head. She felt her fingers getting wet and turned her head where the attacker was held by Mary.
"Princess run."
Saya looked around and ran in one direction. Her head was spinning and she felt dizzy but still she was running knowing the death was following her.
She ran and ran but had to stop as she reached at the end of the stream. There was a water fall down. As she turned, she found a man standing behind her with a sword in his hand.
"Don't waste your energy, princess."
He walked towards her and Saya had to retreat. She looked down and then at the man who was holding her way.
"Take her." Another man ordered from behind and as the man walked towards Saya and grab her , Saya moved back.
Her ankle twisted and she screamed before falling behind.
The two men looked at each other seeing the princess down. Fear appeared in their eyes knowing they made a mistake.
