"Nah, your choice is weird. This room is creepy."

Prince Andrew laughs, his voice filling the whole room.

Samantha tells him to be a bit softer.

"So, how is it going? Seducing the Prince?"

I frown.
"Don't say seducing. I'm just trying to make him fall in love with me. He is quite hard to work with, but I think I am making progress."

"Well you have to be quicker, Analia. We have planned an attack on the castle, from the inside, and you are the only person who can keep Prince Drake distracted."

"An attack? You're... you're gonna try kill him tomorrow?"

"No, we just wanna attack as a warning. They should fear us. He should fear us."

"Hmm, okay. Near what time?"

"It is going to be at night. We will be attacking around 11pm. That is when the guards start changing and it'll be much easier."

I nod, thinking it over.

"I guess, I can try to do it."

Prince Andrew holds my shoulder and says, "Not try, Analia, you have to."

I nod, releasing a breath, and look around.

"Shouldn't I be heading back now? Long day tomorrow..."

He nods, looking at me in concern, and motions for Samantha to lead me out.

"By the way, where did all the guards go?"

He gives me a smirk and says, "Some fell asleep because of what Samantha mixed in their drinks and some went to check out what went wrong with the lights."

My eyebrows shoot up in surprise and we leave.
Oh well, nothing too suspicious has happened yet so it's fine.

"Analia, you are doing a great job. You looked quite surprised to see me as a cynist, but oh well. Anyway, this is furthest I can go. Be careful on your way back!"

I smile at her enthusiasm and start walking away.

It is still pitch black but I remember the corridors and don't struggle finding my way back.

Only this time, I run into someone.

Yes, I flinch, but I'm not surprised to see who I run into.

I always run into her.

What do I do now though?

"What are you doing here, Analia?" Camara asks me.

I rub my hands together.

"Umm, well, I needed a walk. I couldn't sleep but when I came out, it was really dark. What's wrong?"

Camara looks at me suspiciously, not believing any of my words.

"Be really careful, Analia. I am watching you."

With those threatening words, she walks away.

Entering my room, I lie on my bed and think about how I am going to distract this prince.
This is going to be hard...

I wish none of this would have ever happened.
I wish I could be happy, and care-free.

One last sigh escapes my lips before sleep takes me over.

Tomorrow is going to be a really long day...

A/N:

Heyyy!

So... what do you think she plans to do with Prince Drake?
And do you think that Prince Drake deserves what's going to happen?

Also, I know this is a really short chapter but the next chapter is going to be quite long with a BIG surprise so that should make up for it hopefully.

Anyways, thanks for reading this chapter! Vote and share if you liked it!

See you next week!

Happy reading!
Sam
