True King's Ecstasy

"Princess, we should escape, it's dangerous to stay here," The maid who was assigned by Julius to protect his sister quickly acted upon hearing about the incident near the main door of the castle.

At first, she thought about running away with Julie right after Julius' defeat but after knowing that he was alive, she waited for more information.

She was the most trusted girl among the Julius private forces. But there was something more than that between them. Julie knew about her brother's relationship with this maid but instead of blaming him for not acting as a royal, she actually supported them.

Even though Julius wanted to make his relationship public, he had no way of doing that when he was prince because the moment he declare that he was in love with a maid, Julius knew that nobles will act to harm or rebel against them.

Now that everything is not going in their favour, she had only one option. That is to fulfil Juliu's last wish.

"Sister, stop! We can't leave yet, brother is alive and those commoners won't let him live, if we leave like this," She regretted everything that happened in the meeting hall.

Julie felt bad, she started to question her own kingdom policies seeing Velian's act. She knew people were suffering but not to this extent. She thought making things better after the war would make their lives better but she was wrong.

"Princess, don't call me sister, I'm a humble servant that's it," The maid who was grabbing Julie's hand answered with tears coming from her eyes.

She wanted to go and ask Velian to release her lover but she knew nothing is simple like that.

"No, brother loves you, I don't care what others say as long as brother likes you, you're my sister," Julie's words made her happy but still, she didn't stop running.

"I promised your brother, that I will rescue you no matter what the circumstance is, we can't go back,"

Julie kept complaining but her maid didn't listen to her as they kept advancing through the castle in order to reach the emergency exit only known by the royalty.

"What will happen to father, if I escape like this?"

"..."

The maid remained silent like she had no answers to give to her question. In the first place, she didn't know how to explain because Julius is the one who ordered her to abandon their king. She didn't want to tell his sister so, she kept running without even looking back until they encountered some soldiers.

"Halt!" They shouted seeing this suspicious duo.

As soon as they got close, all the soldiers in the group were amazed by who it was.

"Princess!"

They couldn't believe their eyes as they shouted in surprise. After carefully looking they quickly saw how exhausted they were, and it was easy for them to tell what was happening there.

"Oh my, looks like our kingdom's princess is running away," Suddenly their tone shifted giving creeps to both maid and princess.

"It's not good, princess, you have to be here to witness our commoner's power," With a creepy smiles on their faces, they got close to the duo with their hands going for the sword.

The maid who saw this quickly looked at the princess who was about to cry.

"Princess, run away, I will hold them, find the emergency exit and go and meet my father,"

"No, I won't leave you, sister," Even though she was so scared, Julie tightly held the maid's hand without letting it go.

"Princess, listen to me," With a strict tone in her voice, the maid shouted.

"Noooo, I won't leave you alone," Julie kept arguing with her until she heard the most unexpected thing from the maid's mouth.

"Sister, listen to me, I promised him, I won't let anything happen to you, please don't make me a liar,"

Julie froze on the spot hearing her words, she felt the tears coming out of her small eyes looking at the girl in front of her.

"That won't do princess, because of your father, my wife died so I hope at least you can compensate for it," After having a closer look at the men in front of them, Julie saw instead of a vulgar expression, they were angry.

"Run!" Taking her daggers inside her skirt, the maid tried to pierce the throat of one of the soldiers.

Even though they barely avoided it, one got injured by it making them even more angry.

"Damn bitch! I thought about letting you go since you're just a maid, but now you're dead," Shouting in anger, they advanced with proper stance expecting an attack from the maid to counter them.

They knew from her dagger strike, that she wasn't an amateur in this.

"Don't let her escape, catch her," As soon as they saw, Julie running back through a different door, they panicked.

If the princess survived now after what they did, it means their end so whatever it take, they had to kill her.

"No, you won't, your opponent is me," She bravely charged without even caring about the danger of getting slashed by the sword.

"Julius, I hope you forgive me, looks like this is it for me," She knew even though, she was a trained maid, fighting with three veteran soldiers at the same time is like a death note for her.

She was lucky their attention and interest were on the princess, otherwise, she wouldn't even survive their attacks if they decided to be intelligent with their attacks.

"Damn it bitch, can't you see the damage they did to our kingdom? Our houses? Why are you siding with her despite being one of us?"

"Well, I have my own reason, sorry but I can't let you harm her,"

The sounds of swords clashing kept happening until Julie escaped from that place. Her heart was filled with anxiety thinking about what to do now and sadness about her future sister-in-law.

"Who's fault is this? Why does this keep happening?"

Finally, the was able to reach the emergency exit after running for her life but unlike what she expected the emergency door was-
