24 Episode 3- Secret Maiden (1/2)

*Royal Bath House*

Kat sighs as she gets in the hot water. \”So nice.\”

\”Gorgeous\”

She opens her eyes to see Trever naked on the other side of the bath. She smiles. \”Hello handsome.\”

He gets in. Slowly swimming close to her. He holds her close.

She kisses him gently.

\”You look as beautiful as the day I met you lass.\” He winks at her.

She smiles but it slowly turns into a frown.

\”See. I knew something was wrong. Tell me.\” He pushes some hair behind her ear.

She sighs as she puts her head on his shoulder. \”I just hate this whole thing. The whole marriage thing. I don't want to send them off. Especially to people or kingdoms they never knew about.\”

He kisses her head. \”I know. I don't like it either.\”

\”I wish I could arrange something else..\” She lifts up her head. Her eyes widen. \”That's it!\” She goes to get out but Trever pulls her back in.

\”Nope. You can't leave until I make sure your satisfied.\” He pulls her in close. Kissing her passionately.

*Next Scene*

Skylar plays chess with Touma through the bars of his prison. \”And check mate!\” She smiles big.

He laughs. \”Yeah yeah.\” He begins to move all his pieces off.

\”Uncle Touma, can you tell me again about your life behind the wall?\” Skylar asks as she too removes her pieces.

He chuckles. \”I told you. That story takes too long to tell. And our time together isn't that long.\” He begins to cough. His coughing becomes deeper.

\”I know..\” She looks at him worried. \”I just like hearing it. Queen Kat-Mom..\” She looks down at the ground. \”She doesn't like talking about it. And well dad just tells me not to worry.\”

He nods. \”Sky, you need to understand. Your parents don't tell you because they want to keep you safe.\”

\”But how will I always be safe if something attacks us? And I'm the only person left in the family? What then?\” She looks at him.

He sighs. \”Listen, I know I have only a few more years in me. But I promise before I die I will tell you. Now with that said have you wrote about what I asked?\”

She smiles. \”Thanks! And yes!\” She pulls out her journal. \”I wrote down everything.\” She hands it to him through the bars.

He flips the pages as he reads. \”This is good. I like the bird you drew. Very good detail.\” He smiles as he looks.

\”Thank you..\” She smiles at him.

\”Here.\” He hands it back. \”Today I want you to tell me what else you see beyond the wall.\”

She nods as she puts her journal away.

\”Tell me. How do you see beyond the wall?\” He raises a brow at her.

She smiles. \”Like you said. Before you die you'll tell me about your adventures. So when I am about to die I'll do the same.\”

He smirks. \”Okay..\”

*Next Scene*

Dylan helps her down as she continues to giggle. He wasn't as drunk as her. He could handle it better than she could. \”Okay. I think it's time to get back home.\”

She groans. \”Just another drink!\” She wines.

He gently walks her out of the tavern.

Logan is sitting next to Ben.

\”Come on! All I'm saying is the legend of the red lady could be real! Just go out to the lake next to the Wolf Statue. You'll see her.\” Ben tells Logan before taking a drink of his ale.

Logan groans as he swallows some ale.
