I tried to peek through a hole made from earlier fights in the carriage.

As soon as I saw that all the soldiers were lying on the ground and the enemies from both sides were approaching our carriage I pulled Lily’s hand and tried to hide under the carriage seat.

Lily tried to say something but I ignored it and pulled her together with me.

As their footsteps got closer, my heartbeat got louder with fear and anxiety and it felt like the enemies could hear my heart beat which could reveal our position, so I tried my best to hold my breath.

But all in vain, the soldiers soon announced “Come out from the carriage or we will light you carriage and let you experience a burning hell”

We ignored them, trying our best to not let a single sound slip by us, hoping that they will not find us and think that we fled from there.

But in opposed to our expectation they threw some of their torches to light our carriage after waiting for a minute or two. We tried to endure the heat and the suffocation but we were already at our limits. Our faces got paled as it looked like blood was drained from it and we slowly started to lose consciousness.

The soldier who was pulling Lily made a lustful look at her and then he started dragging her by pulling her hair. Lily tried to come towards me but seeing her struggle the soldier gave a heavy punch towards her stomach and she fainted with her eyes staring at me.

Seeing Lily got hit and for my powerlessness I was ashamed. I thought that if I couldn’t protect the person important to me then how I am going to become the king who will protect this country.

I lost all my energy thinking of my powerlessness and the soldiers started dragging us again by pulling our hairs and they intentionally go from rough planes to give us more wounds.

After few minutes of intense pain from my skull and from the wounds on my body, when I started to lose consciousness the soldiers stopped and drop both of us to the ground.

I lift up my head and saw………….
