53

She was dragged on the floor of the palace, with her hands tied with thick iron bars in heavy iron chains, carrying the load of shackles on her feet.

At that time, in the palace of Kingdom Renam, the general Muzan and his brave army, along with the three princesses and the queen. All were made of stone.

The rest of the servants and maidservants and the rest of the common people there were also enslaved, along with all of them; Ivan was also being dragged along like a lesser slave.

Princess Jazar sat up with a shock. The whole body was shaking at this future vision. Eva's innocent face and her shackled hands and feet were injured like glass in her eyes.

She started crying badly and Princess Fiona and Princess Riana also woke up from their sleep.

"What happened, Jazar? Did you have any vision?” They both looked at her worriedly and sat up.

"Ivan… Our house. Eva was imprisoned in heavy chains and shackles… Our Eva." Jazar sobbed and told the deadly vision, the glimpse that was of the coming time. Both of their hearts stopped.

Jazar got out of her bed with a shock and hurriedly ran towards Ivan's room. Fiona and Riana also ran behind her. It was as if someone had torn their hearts.

Ivan was restlessly tossing and turning in rough sleep due to not being used to her bed when the sisters reached her. Jazar bent over her and thrust her into her throbbing embrace, and she gasped.

Such a lovely sister who was loved like a mother by all three, who had never suffered the pain of being pricked by a thorn. Her soul was perishing just thinking about her at such a time when she was crying. Those sisters were eagerly kissing her again and again, embracing her. It was the parrot in which the royal family lived.

What happened? Princess, what happened? I'm fine." Evan would sometimes ask as if she was nervous, sometimes she would reassure her that she was fine.

“Go to lake. Now, go now." Jazar's heartbeat was not coming under control; those scenes were not removed from her eyes.

"What? Really?” After being imprisoned for so many days, Ivan started looking at them with her eyes shining with joy at this freedom, but soon her happiness faded. Her sisters were crying. They were worried, their color was turning yellow.

"Yes, you go and don't come back." Princess Riana made her tone strong.

"Not until we call. Stay anonymous and do not appear in front of anyone. Tell old Brag to convince all the trees to protect you.” Princess Fiona explained to her in a serious tone. She was not going to keep her in the palace until she found a solution.

"But…." Ivan was scared by her words. She looked at them all. Are they taking her out of the palace? Is there any such danger?

"Yes Ivan. We will come to meet you. Soon everything will be as it was. Good and happy. Stay near the lake for some time. By the trees.”

Reana lovingly wrapped her long black hair and started to explain gently.

She knew the trees could protect her. By making a secret cave inside. By creating safe routes. They could hide her. They could not be stones. No power was going to affect them.

"Give it to Bragg. And don't worry at all. Have a good time with your friends. You will return home soon.”

She wrote something on a piece of paper and closed it and handed it over to Ivan. Some of her clothes and necessities were tied and made into a bundle.

Overnight, these sisters had quietly brought Evan to the lake with a stock of good food. After being suddenly kicked out of the palace, Ivan went and sat by the lake, very sad and depressed.

As usual, the sun rose in the kingdom of Renam, and the darkness of the night disappeared.

In the light of day, the birds chirped in search of food, the water of the springs flowing on the mountain was making noise. The people of Renam left their homes and went on business.

The round door of this beautiful house built on the bank of this lake opened and white feet in beautiful brown leather slippers came out.

Dressed in the clothes of a dwarf, he reached the lake and took a bath in a hidden place towards the mountains. The charm and beauty of face was increasing since he lived on this earth. Redness was swimming in the blue-brown eyes after just waking up from sleep. The long hair that came down to the shoulders was wet and stuck to the forehead. Freshened up, he went out and put on his clothes.

Shaking his head quickly from right to left, he squeezed the water from his hair.

While leaving there and going towards his home, he stopped for a moment; he felt an unusual silence today.

He moves towards the trees.

When he reached Brag, a large store of food was seen at a short distance. He was surprised and then shook his head, maybe some traveler has come.

A piece of soft silk cloth was seen on the high branches of Brag. Brag's eyes opened just as he reached out and touched the cloth.

"Shhh…Stop. She will wake up." Bragg stopped him while saying slowly, and then he straightened up. Neemar had also woken up on Bragg's whisper.

"Who will wake up?" Alian asked in surprise, and then Brag raised his eyes and answered.

"Princess Eva. She came here at night. She was very sad and scared.” He took two steps back and started looking at Brag.

"But what happened? Is everything okay?" Neemar sighed coldly at his question.

"It seems that Princess Jazar has seen some sign of danger. They can see a glimpse of the future. Princess Eva was sent here last night.”

"Hmmm. There is danger. From kingdom Raya. They are going to enslave Princess Eva. Princesses want us to protect her. Now she will remain here for some time until the danger is over.”

Brag told all the details while speaking in a worried tone. Alian looked up sadly. Bragg had picked her up and let her sleep on his branches.

"So this place is safe?" Alian looked around. There was an open area and all the animals, trees, mountains and lakes. Who will protect her?

"Yes, this place is safe. No one will come here. We can protect." Neemar said in a strong voice.

"Brag, you are sure that she is sleeping peaceful. She is getting disturbed.” Alian looked up again. Her head was slightly covered, arms and legs too. Sleeping randomly on the branches, she did not look comfortable from anywhere.

"We don't have a bed.” Brag looked up with concern.

"Give her to me. I have a bed. She will be able to sleep comfortably.” He said while stretching his arms forward. Brag and Neemar were waiting for this and agreed immediately. Bragg bent the branches towards him and turned Ivan in front of him.

ALian went ahead and picked her up on his arms, she moaned after changing her place in her sleep, then he gently patted her on the chest. She slept peacefully.

Brag and Neemar carefully watched his soft, self-assured style and became satisfied.

He carried her on his arms and reached his house. Little Bayar was waiting at the door. Seeing the princess in his arms, she moved forward excitedly.

"Shish. She is sleeping. Open the door." At his whisper, Bayar quickly turned around and pushed the half-open door fully open.

Alian went inside and carefully laid her down on the soft silk bed spread on the bed and opened the folded sheet and draped it over her. As soon as she found a soft and warm bed, Ivan fell asleep more peacefully.

He was now moving to the other side and managing to eat. After making food for himself and placing the dishes on the table, he also placed a wooden stool next to his chair.

Bayar quickly climbed on it and sat down. He smiled and placed an open bowl of chopped fruits in front of her. Now she used to eat on the table watching him.
