The Agreement Between Kings
81
Lúcia grabbed numerous luxurious sheets that adorned her bed and tied them together one after another. When she finished, there was a long rope that she stuffed through the window.
She threw the rope outside and descended slowly. It took some time before she could finally reach the ground; during the process, she slipped several times.
Lúcia sighed and gave a horrified look at where she had come from. If she had taken a wrong step and fallen from that height, she would be dead now.
"Your Highness, His Majesty the King wishes to see you."
Lúcia's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw the governess beside her holding the tiara she had thrown onto the bed.
"How did you get here so fast?" Lúcia asked, embarrassed.
"I hope the princess enjoyed her brief adventure. Even if it pains me to interrupt it, as I said, His Majesty wishes to see Your Highness. Please come with me."
