"Queen is taken over by a monster... It's going to kill the King."
Were the words that set Alys into action. The thunder clapped deafeningly loud outside as she ran up the stairs and through the dimly lit corridors higher and higher up till she reached the floor on which the royal balcony was supposed to be.
She hadn't run that much in a while so her legs ached and her lungs burned in protest. She huffed with her hands on her knees as sweat dripped down the sides of her face. She knew Ernie must have brought the lady to Silas by now and he must have gotten the message as well so, he would be here any moment. Till then, she had to protect the King.
The royal balcony was on this floor so, the security was tight and she could see the guards and mages lining the walls. They all looked startled as she came up the stairs.
"M-Miss you're not allowed here." One of the guards said but she wasn't listening.
"Did someone- the Queen come here?" She demanded instead.
