Hours pa.s.sed since the Prince and Princess had followed Kyera into Ella Von"s world of beauty and lace . Lost in conversation and design while word spread throughout the town that the n.o.bles were seen in the Peasant"s quarter . Word traveled fast and reached the ears of a group of men nearby talking to a lady .
She raised a eyebrow as this information reached her ears . "She dares to bring those people here?" She growled glancing at her friends who seemed to be just as surprised .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"What can you expect from a traitor"s daughter? Should we remind her of who she is?" A rather burly man asked but she chuckled shaking her head . The cunning evil look on her lips quickly changed, shifting to one of concern . Granted the face expression never reachable her eyes .
"I must show my sincerity and see if she"s alright . After all, she took such pains to teach me well last we met . " She purred standing and dusting off her tunic and skirt . Her pack nodded intending to follow where the She Jackal led . Granny sensed them coming and stood to her feet, only to be grabbed by the burly man . He tossed her back to the men behind him .
"Can"t have the Crone getting in our lady"s way . " He growled as Granny cried out in alarm, crashing into the chest of another man . The sound enough to gain Kyera"s attention as she and Ella came rushing out side .
"What is the meaning of this! Granny!" Ella cried trying to make her way across the gra.s.s to her grandmother"s side . A Jackal shoved her to the ground knocking the smaller woman away . Ella whimpered in pain as her hip landed on a rock, piercing into her soft skin . It wasn"t life threatening but the dress was surely ruined .
"Remember your place, cute little mouse . " the jackal growled at her, his human face devoid of any humanity . The sinister expression better fit a monster .
"What is going on here? Have you no sense of decency?" Clovis roared rather angry to see such a scene take place right under his nose . He had no intention of letting it continue . The men acted as one almost, laughing at him .
"Sorry your, Highness, but your power has no meaning to us . " The largest of the men growled . His dark mane fell wildy around his face, black eyes stared the prince down, wanting so badly to take a bite . The shock and anger on Clovis" face was enough to amuse him . His hand went to his weapon, and the Jackal laughed . "Pull your sword sir, we will see whose blood stains earth faster . Without your guard and those archers you are no match for 8 of us . "
"Oh does it not? How about my authority? Has it no meaning to you as well?" Kyera demanded stepping down from inside, having watched this begin . The dress she was enc.u.mbered by slowing her from reaching the door as quickly as the others . The royal blue fabric was beautiful but heavy and c.u.mbersome . Fire glowed in her eyes as they surveyed the scene . Two of the Jackals seemed ready to back down against her . Kyera was still their princess for one, but in all honesty they knew she was a warrior at heart . The woman stepped forward laughing at her .
"Getting fitted in your wedding gown, Princess?" She barked, mockingly at Kyera who raised her brow . This pack was surprised to see how indifferent their princess was to them as she looked at the girl on the ground . Fire flashed in Kyera"s eyes .
"Unlike some my gown would be white . " Kyera replied snarky, as she stepped forward, taking Ella"s hand to help her stand . Clovis glared at them raising a hand to stop Kyera from coming closer .
