”Your majesty, this way.” The maid opened the door of the carrige slowly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

The maid take a peek outside. The royal knights were in fact fighting against black clothed men with half masks covering their lower faces.

Once the maid saw the coast was clear, she opened the door and led Erica out towards the woods.

”Hurry your majesty.” The maid was holding Erica's hands, leading her inside the woods.

”Yes.” Erica was running just behind her maid. She felt hope for herself. She thought that this wasn't the end of the line for her yet.

While they were running inside the woods, they heard rustling behind them.

”Your majesty, the bandits might be after us. Hurry.” The maid said.

They were running as fast as they can now. They were running for their lives. Not long after, they can feel the exhaustion of their body from running. They stop to catch their breath.

Erica can feel her throat burning while breathing. They have ran a long distance, maybe the bandits lost them.

”Your majesty, hide here first.” The maid saw a big hollow part under a huge tree's trunk. One person can fit inside.

”I will scout the area and call you when the coast is clear your majesty.” The maid said. ”But if I don't come back after a while, I am afraid you have to go on alone.”

Erica was surprised by her maid's words. She caught her maid's wrist before she walked away.

”No, don't go. You have done enough for my expense. Just stay here.” Erica was looking at her maid with pleading eyes.

The maid gave Erica a sad smile. ”Your majesty, do you remember how you saved me when I was still little?”

Erica nodded her head in response. She saw her maid one winter's night in the capital's alley when she was a little girl. Her maid was in the brink of death and she took pity on her and took her in as her personal maid.

”After you saved my life from that terrible cold winter, I have promised my self that I would dedicate my life to you. I was an orphan who you gave a home.” The maid said with a smile. ”Now I have the chance to pay my debt.”

The maid covered her head with the hood of her cape. With her appearance concealed, you won't notice the difference between Erica and the maid because they have the same body shape.

They heard rustling from not far. The maid took Erica's hand off her wrist

”Keep safe, your majesty.” The maid smiled and run outside.

Erica had a look of shock. She never thought that her last loyal servant would sacrifice her self just for her to escape.

”There she is, after her!” I man's voice yelled. Many footsteps were now running away from her.

Erica was hunched under the tree's trunk , shivering in fright. She was alone now, all alone.
