The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 114

Princess Sophia's POV

"Ahh!" I said a bit loudly as I stood from my lying position. I felt pain all over my body; my head, my neck, my back, everywhere. I tried to stretch to see if there was going to be any difference but there was none. I was in serious pain.

I must have slept with the wrong posture so it was bound to take a little time to heal. As soon as the journey began, I just lay down in the carriage and slept the sleep that had eluded me all through the night. Since it was midnight and the place was so dark, I was within my rights to fall asleep.

I lifted both hands of mine as I stretched once more. Rays of light shined inside the carriage to signify that it was sunrise already. We had journeyed all night, yet we weren't at the destination yet. I began to wonder just how far the place was and if I was being taken to the right place at all.

I noticed that the carriage had slowed down a bit so I assumed that we were probably almost there or even there but probably not at the exact building we were supposed to be at.

I looked up, hoping to see some nice things. I expected to see a land full of beautiful flowers and people who wore amazing apparel but I was met with something else.

I was shocked to see bushes all around and dirt littered all over the floor. I saw flies flying around as the birds flapped their wings and flew around in excitement.

The smell too. It was horrible and took me down memory lane. There was only one set of people who had such an awful stench. The Rogues. It had to be them. They smelled like shit and I couldn't stand them at all. Now, it seemed I was right there in their midst, with nowhere to go.

I lifted my brows as we drove into the wooden gates that I had spotted from afar. As I saw the gates, something in me told me that it was where we were headed but I refused to believe it. The environment looked so messy. I was hoping that since we were heading to the abode of the person in charge, the area should have looked very tidy. How wrong I was! It seemed to me like the Rogues had nothing to do with the word, 'Tidy.'

"Where is this place?" I asked the guard close to me but he simply ignored me and kept looking straight ahead and it annoyed me. He was just a guard. He had no right to treat me that way and if I had my way, I'd have dealt with him mercilessly. He was simply lucky to have met me when I'd been stripped of my powers as a Princess. If only I could get it back quickly enough. It was part of my plans to do that.

"Where are we headed?" I asked him again, aware that I was pestering him. This time, he turned around to face me and gave me a very haughty look that immediately sent shivers down my spine. He looked like he was ready to hit me with his fists. I didn't know him from anywhere, so I kept wondering if I'd offended him and how.

"We've reached our destination," he said to me with a straight face. "You'll know more when you get to meet our master."

That was all it took. I kept mute and waited for the carriage to stop and soon enough, it did. The guard got down first and then helped me get down too.

I took a deep breath and tried to look around to observe my surroundings but before I could do that, the harsh guard grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me rather violently. "Follow me," he yelled at me as he kept moving.

I grumbled, hoping to get him to treat me better. "I'm a lady. You should be more gentle. You don't have to pull me this way," I protested but he didn't care. He just kept pulling me against my will.
