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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLl9Vfzrir
"Okay"Richard said, "And Lisa please let this palace be as it is"he continued.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwQnRA7xGA
"Yea.. you lack the ability to appreciate beautiful things" Lisa said in a cringe manner.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx6tWauD6w
"Not again,Lisa"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsXRjjP2QA
"Okay...someone is waiting for you beneath the steps, so hurry up"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0pLsPvVs8
"Ohh.. yea"Richard said and went down the stairs.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelGoQKdl6H
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDbDsUe2K0
"Robin, where are you?"She said loudly.That's when there was the sound of footsteps on the third floor.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgCfhCA3OB
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1TfIlKYGi
"Ufff... so it's you, where were you,you know how worried momma was"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7aVXN4fwq
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYEuakgVWj
"Robin's momma has never said no to him"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxNOmxbeq
"Thanks momma, you are my favorite"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr7GcyzMrl
"You too, my son" She said.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6EYk2jfIo
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo0wJAN5lA

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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ADzPQTo7y
"Is it difficult for you to live here?"Sir Pelin asked him.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1tc98Kgod
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V3hD8dJH6
"It is my responsibility"Sir Pelin said with a smile.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3mTAeL5k3
"Mr. Pelin, I wanted to ask you something"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoCDAaFZGT
"Yea"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqAxMFD2U6
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSbJq3zgpL
"Aaa..I think there are many rooms in this palace other than the one where you can stay comfortably" Sir Pelin said.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0P2fNUUOy
"Yea but... "130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHIubrgpw3
"As you told me, the horses are ready"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTuEQUVocP
"And I am sure that every villager will give me full support to finish this case"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwL55rk7MP
"Of course, you won't get a chance to complain"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7tGcjOfEf
"So now it's time for us to leave"Richard said.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPpIv9usIF
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54q4JnbvKt
"Thanks for the horses, Braizon" Sir Pelin said.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshD2exMRE4
"It's my duty, my Lord" Braizon said.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckFmPEQH6T
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pFKzmkbLb
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Xy84wTCN
"Yea sure" Richard said with a smile.Richard stared at Braizon,he looked terrified.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1yjo2xlrI
"Any problem" Richard asked him.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuIgPqjMBY
"May God keep you safe,you.... "130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGd1SabIwB
That's when,"Braizon"Sir Pelin said,Braizon fell silent before finishing his sentence.Sir Pelin was looking at him angrily.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz0cy8rVBD
"What?" Richard said.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWyv9Liyib
"We must go now" Sir Pelin said.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHU33XagPp
"Yea,"Richard found it a bit strange,but he didn't say anything.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4vxWBBOUd
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29A1JjrPkl
He abruptly turned around and dashed towards his home.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfnc8o144V
