Chapter 87: Escaping Castle

"W-what....." 

"Yes, wake up. I have to bring you somewhere." The husky voice once again trailed into her ears, making her eyes also turn moist.

What was happening? Similarly, her eyes went straightaway to see outside but Alice found that it was still dark. 'Where does he wish to bring this time?' 

It came out of the question in her way, but then, Princess Alice shifted herself, to see that Prince Cyrus has gotten up from the bed to wear his clothes again.

A frown had curved on her forehead with the half-opened eyes. "I....is..this necessary? I.. want to sleep.." 

"It is necessary otherwise I won't have disturbed your sleep at this time. Get ready, fast." was all he uttered in his slow breath before he took the armor which he wore. 

But on the other hand, Alice was mostly feeling worse. The fact that her morning was already disturbed made the feeling reside in her stomach. 

A solid hatred had captured her heart but without trying to throw tantrums, she made her way to the washroom to come outside after a few moments into her local gown.

She hasn't worn any jewelry anymore and till now, Alice was already fully awake. 

Her hair was tied into a bun like usual but she hadn't attached the lace next to her hair anymore. Walking by his side, princess Alice stared at her husband before asking. "I'm ready. Tell me now, where are you taking me?" 

"Somewhere, where our peace is needed," Cyrus replied while he was wearing his boots. 

Princess Alice wasn't satisfied with his reply either. Yet, she had kept herself to the bare minimum, in the hope it would not infuriate him. 'Fighting with him at this hour would be the worst scenario!' and somewhere, deep in her mind, she was curious too. 

Because it was very obvious to her that he won't make her awake from her sleep until there is some urgency.

However, what Alice witnessed was to see him entirely sober. There was no trace of his drunkenness, which kind of caught her off guard. 

"What happened to your unconsciousness? Yesterday, you weren't even able to walk properly." 

"Oh, that was because I drank a bit at the celebration last night." Cyrus wore his boot to finally stand on his legs, before staring back at her. "That must be the reason. But thank you for helping me to sleep, Princess Alice." 

"No worries...but I hope that where you are taking me also contains some worth as well..." Alice's sharp gaze traveled to see him and then motioned to ask him to guide her.

In return, Cyrus didn't give her any benefit reply on either which somewhat irked her. 

But keeping down her dislike, for now, Alice had simply followed Cyrus. He brought her out of the chamber, from the lobbies and others. Not knowing much about the places enough, Alice somewhat realized that the lobbies he took were different. 

'From where is he bringing me to?' She knew that he is her husband, whom she doesn't trust enough. 

But in her heart, she vividly could guess that he won't betray her for now. If he needs her, so does she. After all, both of them are substitutes.

What if she was supposed to die today? Won't others ask him questions...

She was a defense but that didn't hinder her from following his back. 

Despite not uttering every single word, her eyes were roaming all around. She was having goosebumps all over her body but maintaining the same composure, Alice made sure to not be left behind. 

After a few moments, Prince Crus stopped and she found herself down in the castle. 'Is he taking me out of the castle?' While she was alarmed, the princess knew that there was nothing in her hands. 

At the end of the day, he specially brought her down and probably there were the obvious reasons... rebelling wasn't the option she found either 

If she disobeyed, it will not only put her at a high-risk rate but also, tamper with his plans. Putting him in any dangerous situation wasn't her goal either. 

"A-Are we going out?" Alice can't help but open her mouth, to receive a slight nod from his side. "Yes. and we aren't going from the main gates. So please...bear to walk with me for more." Cyrus answered. 

Alice followed him behind, without even uttering a single word. She had circled the shawl around herself, as she felt that the coldness was increasing in temperature.

It made her feel the chills down her spine but not trying to move her gaze, Alice found that they have gone through the back of the castle

From there, what showed was a small metallic gate, behind the bushes. Cyrus immediately went there, to remove the brushes aside and open a metallic gate. He opened it via his tools which he brought and then, it led them to the other world. 

Once Cyrus's gaze swept across the sight outside the gate, he rotated his head to look back at her, before extending his hand.

"Come, and don't make any noise..." 

"Oh..alright." Alice instantly stretched her hand.

On the other hand, she held her gown tenderly to step out of the metal gate. 

After timing out, while Alice's eyes lifted to see that they were at the back of the castle, on the other hand, Cyrus had already locked the door which was behind her.

"This..." 

"We are going to go out of the castle on the way. There must be someone waiting for us down." Since the Castle was situated above the rest of the crowd, there were many slopes made for them to escape.

Not thinking twice, Cyrus helped her to walk on the railing road. It led to their downside, which wasn't much of the difficulty. But in the deep silence and the night, she wasn't sure if they were safe or not. 

However, just in the next few steps, her eyes fell on the certain person, whom she knew from before. "General Ryan..." 

It made no sense in her eyes, but she kept her lips sealed. Rather, it was Cyrus who went ahead to converse. General Ryan was holding the horse in his hands and seemed like he was waiting for them themselves. 

"Crowned Prince Cyrus.." general Ryan bowed slightly, to which Cyrus acknowledged. "Have you brought this by yourself?" he inquired. 

"No one's eyes caught me coming here, Prince. Rest assured you can go with the Princess..." General Ryan was confident in his speech, where his eyes then fell on Alice who stood behind the two of them. 

She had brought her hands in front of her body, to gulp the saliva present in her mouth. She was afraid, but on the second note, it didn't rage her heart as compared to the earlier times.

After exchanging a few more words, Cyrus had finally bid general Ryan goodbye. Then after, he rotated himself, to hold the horse from one hand and then to stare at Alice. "Come, we are going through the horse." 

"B-But..where?" 

"You will know when we reach there. I can't explain or describe the place here," he told her openly, which made Alice think twice. 

She was scared, fearful and Cyrus's naked eyes had seen through her soul at first glance.

A sigh escaped from his slips before he finally showed himself to look at her again before saying, "Alice, I'm not taking you anywhere else. We are in this Kingdom only. And don't worry...I won't hurt you." 

She considered his words to hold any magic in them since they were very much convincing in her eyes. All Alice considered herself to be mesmerized and found herself to be self-assured. 

Not only that, her heart plugged all together with the beating rages. Thunders have appeared but Cyrus's words already made her nerves relax a bit. 

It acted too softly for her, which finally made Alice take the step in his direction. When Cyrus noted that her hesitation was indirectly lifting off from herself, a faint smile curved on his lips. 

Without wasting the time anymore, Cyrus immediately climbed on the back of the horse. It was light-weighted for him, and not any difficult task.

First of all, caressing the back of the horse, he smiled and then tugged his sword in the right place. With a satisfied grin appearing on his face, Cyrus can't help but feel everything going smoothly...

His eyes traced below to see Alice standing there, unmoved. 

"Come, climb at my back," Cyrus told her, openly but in return, all he sensed was the reluctance 

"Don't you have any other horse? I know how to ride as well.." 

"Princess Alice, I know that you are very good in your horse's practices but this isn't the time to test them. I have limited time so please..."
