Chapter 9 Just Carrying Out The Prince's Orders

"Lord!"

Howard managed to sneak into the dungeon. The place where the play is in prison at this time and received his sentence, then met the prince and asked the condition of the prince.

"What happened to you? Why did you get caught like this. That path should be safe from the palace guards. I can even confirm that the path you used to take to get out and enter the palace secretly was not visible. But how could they possibly know that?"

The play shook his head as a sign that he didn't understand why he was caught like this. But one thing he was sure of, there must be something bad about being caught tonight. Something that wasn't well planned was happening. And he had to know who was behind all of this.

"I myself don't know why the path you prepared actually led me to tonight's incident. But that's not the problem, whatever punishment the king will give, I will definitely accept it. And I will carry out according to what he wants. All because I still respect my father who is also the king of this place. But I want to ask you for help regarding something that is no less important."

Howard frowned and leaned closer to the prince to hear what the prince was whispering to him. His expression immediately changed from calm to more anxious and tense. He then looked at the prince as if to confirm whether his order was not wrong. To which laycon answered with a steady nod as he said.

"You have to do it. There is a girl in the forest. I left her in the cave, you still remember the cave we usually use as shelter when hunting in the forest right? I took her into the cave. Remember, she's not a girl. who came from this place. He came from a faraway place. You don't need to know where he came from and how he got to this place. Since your job is only one, you must protect him from any attack. Be it from the attacks of the wolves out there. Or even from the guards who are in this palace. Don't let him get into the palace. Because his presence in this place, it will be more dangerous for himself. "

"Is she the girl you love?" Howard then asked.

Lycoan nodded his head.

"I've been in love with him since the first time we met. But that's not the case. The girl was completely innocent. I feared that his existence and appearance, which was quite different from the average person, raised dangerous questions for him. I'm sure he still doesn't understand and doesn't know how to survive out there. So I hope you can keep an eye on him from afar. Until the time comes when I can get out of this place to meet him."

"Very well. I will carry out what you command Prince. I hope you can finish your sentence soon. And you will not receive a severe punishment from the king. I really didn't think that your brother would go this far just to bring you down ."

The next morning, Lucrecia woke up from her sleep. The sun's rays are receding into the cave. Apparently it made Lucrecia's eyes feel a glare that made her have to wake up right then and there. Then, Nuclesia quickly looked around the cave for the whereabouts of the man who had helped her last night. But he found no one in the cave except himself and the food scraps that were there.

"Where did that guy go? Gosh... Looks like he left me here alone or maybe he got caught by the hunters? If that's the case, I have to save him too. any clarity. Right... I must quickly find out where he went. I definitely have to find him. Because he is the only one who can help me get out of this place and find my way back to Italy."

With full confidence and courage that has accumulated. Meanwhile the morning sun was already rising so high. The location finally came out of the cave to find the whereabouts of the laikon. It shouldn't be that hard to find the man. Due to the condition of the forest, although it was very dense, there was still a lot of sunlight entering it to illuminate the road in the forest at that time. Nuklesia continued walking through the forest. Every now and then he would look back and see if anyone was following him. Or even the beasts that might be after him right now. He had absolutely no idea which direction he was going. He just walked wherever his feet moved.

**

Unnoticed by rukresia. Apparently a pack of Wolves had been targeting him and watching him from afar since earlier. Moreover, it was getting darker and Lupresia had already walked quite a distance from the cave where she had previously taken refuge.

"Where else should I look for him... could it be that he's already returned to the cave and looking for me too? I've lost my way again. Where should I go now?" he muttered to himself.

Just now Lucrezia was about to turn around and set foot in search of the Way Back into the cave. He had been confronted by a pack of wolves with sharp and terrifying eyes. Their canines that look lined up are also so scary. Not to mention their growling sounds that made Lugresia's legs tremble violently. The line retreated step by step away from the wolf's ambush. But the more he backed off. The wolf's movement was even faster to approach him.

"I'm not food. Please, don't eat me..." although lukresia doesn't know that the wolves understand what she's saying.

The girl continued to retreat until on her back then hit a large rock that stopped her in her tracks. The line is really resigned. His eyes were tightly shut and he screamed loudly for help. He hoped that the man who had helped him last night would come back to help him again today.

However, at the moment he had begun to surrender that death would soon approach him right now. That's when a help came. Lucrezia didn't feel that her body was in pain or that she was being beaten by wolves. It was a man's voice that made him open his eyes. He was so surprised, when he found out that the figure of the man was not the man who had previously helped him.
