66 It Was You 2 (1/2)

After dinning and talking for hours, Ivan and Ian were taking to the guest room, while Prince Owen followed Mr Brandon to his bed chamber.

The lights were off, so they entered stealthily. Prince Owen hid in the wardrobe of the room, while Mr Brandon carefully made his way to the windows and opened them mid way.

He hung his robe on a frame close to his room desk and sat on the chair. Carefully he pulled open his drawer and took out a small bag of coins and peered into it.

He stuffed his hands inside and brought out some coins them put them in, feeling satisfied he looked around and gently kept the money bag back in his drawer, closed it, went to his window and shut it.

After making sure thing were set, he climbed in to bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Few minutes into mid night, a click was heard and the window pushed slightly opened. A shadow followed and stepped into the room, Prince Owen's eyes flew open as he watched the intruder through the clothes in the wardrobe.

Carefully, he took the robe, skimmed through the things on the desk and opened the drawer, then took out the bag of money.

A sword pointed at the intruders back and a voice pierced through the eerie silence.

”Hands up, step away from the desk” Prince Owen said pressing the edge of his sword closer to the culprit's back.

A minute passed and he did nothing, just stayed in place with the stolen items still in his hands.

”I said hands up and turn around” Prince Owen shouted once more.

Mr Brandon sprang up from his bed and held a knife in his hands. ”You good for nothing scoundrel” he yelled.

Slowly the intruder turned around and glared at the owner of the voice.

”Finally, I have caught you” Prince Owen grinned. ”You'll rot in the dungeons.”

By now his sword was touching the man's chest, before he could say anything, the man threw the robe in his right hand on Prince Owen's face, distracted he took his sword and made to attack him.

Before his sword could land on the distracted prince, Ian and Ivan burst the door open and charged for him. Prince Owen threw the robe away and all three of them attacked the man.
