Then there was the sound of someone sprinting up the stairwell,it was approaching them quickly, whomever it was.
"Sir, Sir Pelin has arrived to speak with you"It was a maid.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrHXSzZqfI
"Okay"Richard said, "And Lisa please let this palace be as it is"he continued.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMqCuWnCkE
"Yea.. you lack the ability to appreciate beautiful things" Lisa said in a cringe manner.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvCdEn1LOV
"Not again,Lisa"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5L1eP027Y
"Okay...someone is waiting for you beneath the steps, so hurry up"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdHHie1M0o
"Ohh.. yea"Richard said and went down the stairs.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqgVmPse7m
"So Robin, your momma is not allowed to enter this room because your father believes that we should let this palace remain as it is, but..."Lisa turned back, "Robin" Robin was not there.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2VACkecFW
"Robin, where are you?"She said loudly.That's when there was the sound of footsteps on the third floor.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrljTlzlXVe
"Robin, are you there?" She started going up, but then her eyes fell on the things around her;the walls around the staircase were covered with portraits which appeared to be very old.Looking at every portrait, it felt as though each one was telling a tale.Lisa reached the third floor and "Robin",her voice echoed across the floor but no one answered.That corridor was adorned with a variety of lovely items,candles of various sizes were decorated on the tables adjacent to the walls, soldiers' golden armour hung on the walls, displaying the pinnacle of their beauty in the light streaming in through the window and there were such portraits on the walls, that it appeared like the persons depicted in them would emerge from the portrait at any moment.Lisa was so lost in these things that she didn't even remember that she had come there to find Robin.Lisa looked at every portrait carefully, every portrait was the hallmark of beauty,but then Lisa's gaze was drawn to a portrait that stood out from the rest.There was a girl standing in that portrait whose beauty knew no bounds,her soft brown eyes were as serene and lovely as a lake,gold of sunshine in her hair,lips that shame the red rose,she was dressed in a blue gown, which enhanced her beauty and she was also wearing a crown, even if she had not worn that crown, still one could see that portrait and say that it is a portrait of a princess.Lisa had no idea that someone had been staring at her for a long time,suddenly Lisa felt that someone was standing behind her,someone grabbed lisa's hand from behind,she quickly turned back but there was no one there but Robin, who was visibly horrified at seeing her in such a state.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTmbniHki4
"Ufff... so it's you, where were you,you know how worried momma was"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXNaFVMwv
"Sorry momma, I just went inside a room filled with several books, will you tell me the stories of those books please momma" he said in a very sweet voice.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdCRfq9ynM
"Robin's momma has never said no to him"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPoybuoE8y
"Thanks momma, you are my favorite"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGqJIuYXrV
"You too, my son" She said.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUzlmS6m0M
They began descending the stairwell together.On the third floor, there was someone who wanted her to stay a bit longer.That princess's portrait was changing now, her eyes had turned red, and her face had entirely changed; there was no trace of her former beauty remaining.This new face was horrifying.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1qBJqe51P

Downstairs, Sir Pelin and Richard were drinking tea in the hall.Sir Pelin was dressed in a white robe with a red feather on one of the corners.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WLhllYYLt
"Is it difficult for you to live here?"Sir Pelin asked him.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGmxv7ne1i
"No,who wouldn't want to live in such a lovely palace and there are so many facilities that we can't even complain"Richard said.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXff5kHGFSn
"It is my responsibility"Sir Pelin said with a smile.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKJnDm7n3R
"Mr. Pelin, I wanted to ask you something"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnM6QpnQcW
"Yea"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkS8T5cUbN
"I needed the key to the fourth room on the second floor, a servant was telling that you have that key"On hearing this, Sir Pelin's tea spilled out of his mouth.He placed his cup on the table, took out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbYR3ufOJ9
"Aaa..I think there are many rooms in this palace other than the one where you can stay comfortably" Sir Pelin said.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsMVQlzrx3
"Yea but... "116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj15gOuqAq
"As you told me, the horses are ready"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAIazZpDXI
"And I am sure that every villager will give me full support to finish this case"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf4WjS5m8W
"Of course, you won't get a chance to complain"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKASwCzoVL
"So now it's time for us to leave"Richard said.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Et7BuDNOP
They both came out of the palace, a man with a bushy moustache stood outside, bridling two horses.On seeing both of them, he lowered his head in respect.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIUzyZA7Yp
"Thanks for the horses, Braizon" Sir Pelin said.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hYxa4IDK6
"It's my duty, my Lord" Braizon said.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd633wLIcj9
"He's Constable Richard, and he's come to investigate the recent incidents"Braizon was taken aback when he heard this, so what he heard at the bar last night was true.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2i1cM4ozi
"If you ever need a horse, Braizon is always available, right Braizon", Braizon just nodded yes without saying anything, he was just looking at the palace with dreadful eyes.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XrgH26giv
"Yea sure" Richard said with a smile.Richard stared at Braizon,he looked terrified.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2gt6ILmbE
"Any problem" Richard asked him.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KUK0ucZQH
"May God keep you safe,you.... "116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGyl0PTC7B
That's when,"Braizon"Sir Pelin said,Braizon fell silent before finishing his sentence.Sir Pelin was looking at him angrily.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWAfm0sV8T
"What?" Richard said.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6flZK8sEQN
"We must go now" Sir Pelin said.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriQd0QWgR3
"Yea,"Richard found it a bit strange,but he didn't say anything.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAPWsyJm4R
They both mounted their horses and rode away.Braizon returned his gaze to the palace,which was quiet on the outside, but equally scary and mysterious on the inside.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ccto2g6k
He abruptly turned around and dashed towards his home.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukdoO5bRHF
