Valerius

The three Lords left the meeting room in silence. Whatever they had wanted to say had already been said, rather angrily too. It was always moments like this which caused a strain between the three of them but, arguments were inevitable. Any minute now one of them would break the silence, admit that whatever they were arguing about had been stupid and that they should forget about it over a drink.

“Damn it, we’re Valentis’. We don’t let arguments of all things cause tension between us, how about a drink to forget it ever happened?” Marcus suggested.

Just as Valerius had expected. He shared a glance with his cousin and they both nodded in agreement. “This whole ordeal with Hathor Redbane has been getting under our skin,” Aderico began.

“Hey!” an aggressive voice called out from afar, breaking off their conversation entirely.

The three Lords looked ahead and found a hooded figure sweeping around the corner of the corridor. It moved on light feet and did not stop at the sound of the guards calling out to it.

“Princess? Where do you think you’re off to?”

The hooded figure did not respond as she continued to run away from the guards in pursuit of her.

What was Serendipity doing? Valerius could not help but think.

“Where have you been, Serendipity? Off wandering again in places you shouldn’t be?” Axel’s voice came from behind the three Lords.

There was a mess of voices and figures, enough to confuse them all as they looked around the corridor in a frenzy.

“Oh, shit!” Serendipity hissed at the sight of Marcus and the others. She spied the hooded figure up ahead, realised her cover had been blown, and wondered what she was supposed to do now.

Axel went to grab the Princess as he approached, only to stumble as she dodged his hand.

Serendipity could not contain a laugh as she ran past Aderico’s side, ignoring her fiancé as he jumped out of her way and collided into Marcus as he did. She stopped some distance away from Axel and stuck two fingers up at him, jeering and waving them around frantically. By now, she had caught sight of Alena dropping her cloak and urging her to run.

The Chief of Staff was furious! “Come here, Serendipity!” he called out. He was already fumbling with the belt around his hips. “I said,”

The Princess grabbed hold of Alena’s hand and together they bolted past the guards chasing after them too. All hell had broken loose. Still, Serendipity continued to laugh.

Whilst Valerius and Aderico laughed amongst each other, Marcus could only share in the Chief of Staff’s rage. “Don’t just stand there,” he snapped at Axel. “I want her brought back and disciplined.”

Aderico placed a hand onto Marcus’ shoulder, chuckling still. “Come now, Uncle. She’s only-”

The Grand Lord shoved his nephew’s hand away and turned on him. “Serendipity is making a fool of us! She is belittling our men and mocking the defences of our castle. How the hell had she managed to trick a dozen guards with the help of that serving girl?” he was really angry now.
