The Palace Beast

King Afa quickly carried his sister, Princess Bonnie, and places her on the bed. "Guards!" the king called out.

"I think the guards are still busy with the canine creature my love." Eva stared at the king. The king's countenance has changed and looks moody.

As the king makes his way to the door, Bonnie sneezed drawing the attention of the king. "Bonnie." The king swiftly turned and quickly makes his way to Bonnie. "What happened?" "It's a long story brother," Bonnie spoke in a tiny voice. She was stressed and one could notice that from the sound of her voice.

"I will leave you to rest and when you are done, I wait to hear what happened."

"Is alright brother. Can Eva stay with me?"

"Of course, I will leave you to rest now."

Seeing that the king have left, Eva stared at Bonnie with a surprised look and asked sternly. "What happened?"

"It's Kyle, the demon prince. He asked for my hand in marriage and I turned him down."

"You need to let your brother know. It's not safe having a demon prince walk in here any time he feels like it. Your brother can't afford to lose you. Please you have to tell him."

"Of course I will tell him everything. But right now, we need to give that canine-looking creature the lost book of Anubis." Bonnie glances at Eva.

"That book belongs to us now. All we need to do is to fight back with it."

"People have died, including Andrew. This happened because of the lost book of Anubis. We have to give it back. We have had enough of trouble already and we can't add more to it."

The look from the princess' face can only mean one thing. She still blames herself for the death of Andrew. She wished she could go back in time to stop all this from happening. "We can't stand to lose anyone else. Please, we need to send the book back."

"I am sorry my princess but I won't let you do that. If this book gets into the wrong hands, thousands upon thousands of people will die. We can keep it safe, please."
