Chapter 49

• When Theodore woke up, he was in a carriage. "How long have I been up?" he asked Elena. "A day", she answered. He sat up immediately, "What?" he looked outside the window, they were on the road and everything looked strange to him. "Where are we?"
• "We are on the road, on our way to Dresden", Fife replied. "What about my parents, the princess? What happened to them?", Elena looked down and refused to answer him, Theodore's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong Elena what happened to them?", Elena remained quiet. He looked at Fife, "Come on Fife, tell me what happened?". Fife looked up at him, Theodore noticed that his eyes were red rimmed from crying. "Since we escaped, the king announced that we committed treason. He killed your parents and the commander; he burnt my house and your house, stripped my gamily of our title. No one knows what happened to the princess." Theodore didn't know what to feel at the moment. He was numb; the only thing that resonated in his mind was that this was his fault. Everything was his fault.
