Snippet #1524457

The young maid stared at Seth for a moment before clasping her hands together in front of her heart and looking up at him with wide eyes. “Of course your highness! Please allow me to escort you then! The utter horror of royalty having to wander the halls for food. Perfectly outrageous. Oh dear, I am so, so sorry for being so bold.” Curtsying neatly, the blond bobbed her head to hide the glee covering her face. A prince. A REAL prince! The other maids shall be so envious when she tells them of her night stroll with the handsome man along the halls! She could hear them all now; but first, to start walking. “Please follow me.” she said with a flutter of her eyelashes as she walked close to the prince to lead the way past where she knew most of the maids would be.

Roselin stood perfectly still as she held her breath in to make even a centimeter more room for Lilian to squeeze into their hiding spot. Oh heavens that was close. A deep release of the held breath escaping as she followed Lilian back into the hallway, the words from her twin made her have to nod her head in agreement. I hope so too sister. I hope so too. Next we will be running into the royal advisors up looking for a drink of milk!... Do you hear that?

Across from their hidey hole, down another smaller corridor, came two familiar sounding voices. A male and female. Either I hope that’s Seth and the other I’m wrong about…Or that’s her and I’m wrong about Seth… We better hurry! Taking her sister’s hand as they made their way toward the voices as quickly as they dared; it was to their utter confusion that no one was to be seen in the hall as she peaked her head around the corner. This is never going to work this way! What do you say we split up to find the two fugitives? We can easily keep in contact and find each other and cover more ground. I’ll head this way. A hug of good luck, Roselin chose another random door then hall as she made her way to find one or even better both of the princes.

Creaping along the halls with her ears alert, the clink of metal alerted her just in time to duck into a room as two more guards passed. Lilian dear… we may want to be wearier of guards along our chambers halls. There seems to be more than usual on patrol. Head sticking out as soon as she dared to think it safe, the dark head of hair just as quickly ducked back inside at the sound of more muted steps... but if they were muted… they must not be guards!

With that thought in mind as Roselin opened the door a crack she was more than thrilled to see a familiar looking figure walking away from her current position. I think I just found Adam! And he’s heading… OH DEAR! The guards! Swiftly stepping down the hallway as quietly as possible without alerting anyone, Roselin quickly walked up behind Adam and wrapped one arm around him from the back with her other covering his mouth; using all her strength and panic to pull him into one of the many dark passageways of the castle. The return of clinking footsteps as the guards must have reached the end of their patrol and turned around to start again, Roselin leaned her head into Adam as she held on to both him and hope that they didn’t get caught. She really needed to stop acting on impulse. The prince wandering on his own would take a simple story, but the prince and princess in a dark corner? Sister, I’ve really done it this time…
