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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJMwTgghog
"Okay"Richard said, "And Lisa please let this palace be as it is"he continued.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5WxgQ6kQz
"Yea.. you lack the ability to appreciate beautiful things" Lisa said in a cringe manner.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JqCcdmv83
"Not again,Lisa"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUD1mdoZZm
"Okay...someone is waiting for you beneath the steps, so hurry up"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT9D8KUC36
"Ohh.. yea"Richard said and went down the stairs.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmMMFTyCry
"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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKyLyv07fw
"Robin, where are you?"She said loudly.That's when there was the sound of footsteps on the third floor.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5QpzpVqjz
"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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnL1T7GPAx
"Ufff... so it's you, where were you,you know how worried momma was"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbSt6m1pTc
"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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHvl1OH5mU
"Robin's momma has never said no to him"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dP8YKtom7
"Thanks momma, you are my favorite"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSAV38lKua
"You too, my son" She said.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKwjHiTJks
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRtStg7flm

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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytusfIQN7T
"Is it difficult for you to live here?"Sir Pelin asked him.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYMS9R3j65
"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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1qKABS1O4
"It is my responsibility"Sir Pelin said with a smile.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b48FXxlwG
"Mr. Pelin, I wanted to ask you something"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNobNeic1rT
"Yea"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AOJeuxbL6
"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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Gn4qS4P0
"Aaa..I think there are many rooms in this palace other than the one where you can stay comfortably" Sir Pelin said.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbS5SRsHFu
"Yea but... "152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wZ6EFlge2
"As you told me, the horses are ready"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtoXPELh8j
"And I am sure that every villager will give me full support to finish this case"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLN9SBqizw
"Of course, you won't get a chance to complain"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkizj29n9Ab
"So now it's time for us to leave"Richard said.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAwrj4yZZ2
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe3uPJxiZR
"Thanks for the horses, Braizon" Sir Pelin said.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SLuiCQlr6
"It's my duty, my Lord" Braizon said.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQHb0gHnMw
"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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD5n6ccTJY
"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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0HbYZLAxs
"Yea sure" Richard said with a smile.Richard stared at Braizon,he looked terrified.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNHNkuVnBZ
"Any problem" Richard asked him.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgvN29rmMg
"May God keep you safe,you.... "152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZoMOHg04C
That's when,"Braizon"Sir Pelin said,Braizon fell silent before finishing his sentence.Sir Pelin was looking at him angrily.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c8OszEQWA
"What?" Richard said.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI2yBLizSZ
"We must go now" Sir Pelin said.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7OnGyX7XS
"Yea,"Richard found it a bit strange,but he didn't say anything.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvLIeI7sSz
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uYHBn6iWB
He abruptly turned around and dashed towards his home.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuiNJRKHEn
