The Witch and The Prince

Running away from the palace 20yrs old Princess Tata Edwards, a blonde beautiful woman hid in her chamber in the womens quarters and disguised herself into a maid. She wore a maid clothing that she had earlier taken from the ropes outside of her chambers and passed the guards as none of them seemed to recognize her as their second princess. Coming out of the palace gate, she immediately stopped a cab and ordered the cab driver to take her to Acan kingdom as that was the only welcoming kingdom she knew.

She has heard of some other kingdoms that killed and imporisoned her people but she wasn ready to die, so she told the cab driver ”Acan kingdom. ”

Reaching at Acan kingdom the cab driver whom was a middle-aged man slowed down and asked, ”Where will I drop you maam?. ”

After dropping some few other passengers in their preferred destination.

Princess Tata thought for a while and subconsciously mentioned ”palace ” as she was thinking of a safer place to stay.

The cab driver replied ”Okay maam, ” and drove her to the Acan palace that stood mighty in the center of the city. Reaching at a cab stop before the palace as the Acan kingdom still uses carriage, horses and train as mode of transportation. The cab driver came down from his drivers seat and opened the back door for her.

Princess Tata came down and paid him two golden coins but the cab driver was taken aback as he hadn expected for a dirty looking woman like her adorned in a maid clothing and a veil covering her head to be able to possess and owned the golden coins possessed by the rich families of higher status and the nobles in their kingdom.

”No!, Just that am wondering how a dirty looking woman like you could be able to possess and own this type of coins, ” The cab driver replied and Princess Tata eyes subtly narrowed her eyes at him. She enchanted him with her eyes to keep mute as her eyes shone bright redder colours. The Cab driver swallowed and kept mute while she left him and headed towards the mighty palace gate.

She was a witch and a pure blooded witch. She knew she had to keep all her magical powers hidden before her brother would start searching for her as he must be crowned king with a queen by his side immediately after two weeks of their fathers final burial and it already passed a week. She thought of a safer place to stay and there was no where else safer than the Acan palace.

Reaching in front of the palace gate Princess Tata walked closer to it and knocked heavily on it and a palace guard came out to see whom was knocking and was shocked to see a woman dressed fully in black knocking at their gate.

”What do you want!,? ” The palace guard questioned as he came out. He was a guy in his late 30s stationed to guard the gate.

Princess Tata raised her head to meet his gaze and the palace guard was surprised by her eyes colour but she quickly enchanted him to do her bidding as her eyes shone bright redder colours again.

”Is there vacancy in the palace?. Am actually here to work as a maid, ” She told him smiling and the pa
