The birds chirping,the noises of bugs and small animals,the gentle breeze,the nice smell of the wild flowers...were simple things that somehow had a strangely calming effect on her.
Whenever Selina needed some peace of mind,she would relax in nature. Where neither of her lousy parents could disturb her.
She lay down on top of a high tree using her bag as a pillow,since she was deep in the woods,rest would do no harm.
I'll wait a few days before going to her house,mother must be searching for me in every nook and cranny in the city. Estelle would be in danger if they found me in her place,she could be hanged for helping me escape..
A fragrance of soft apricot reached her sensitive nose, followed by heavy footsteps that this time she didn't recognize,normally the princess could tell who was coming just from that.
"Damn! I'm lost,now I need to find the girl and the exit… It's not like the missing princess will fall from the sky." Muttered an unknown angry man.
He's got a bit of an accent.Why is a foreigner looking for me? And he got lost, How incompetent!
CRACK!
"Oh,No no no…!" She tried to grab the tree trunk,but it was too late.
The branch she was on decided to find out how it would feel to crash on the floor, without any previous warning at that.
The falling princess was screaming in despair,all her objects got out of the bag. The branch had already hit the soil, and soon enough she would too. Unexpectedly,two arms catched the poor girl who was trembling in shock.
"Well,guess I underestimated the power of the skies..." He spoke jokingly.
"I take it back,you're not incompetent at all…" Mumbled in a shaky voice.
"Um,what?"
"..I meant thank you for not letting me fall."
He put her down,while she waited sitting on a rock,he gathered her stuff that was all over the place making sure not to leave any item behind.
Selina was going to get married off to a guy who had killed his three previous wives, because to them she was a useless existence for the simple fact of being born blind.
The princess escaped with the help of Estelle, her maid and best friend. After finding out, her family sent Azad, a well known tracker, to bring her back in time for the wedding.
Will she be captured by him or she'll manage to capture his heart?
