Chapter 2: You are safe now ******
Next morning,sun rays reached Merry's eyes and made her wake up .When she opened her eyes she again felt very weak and went to wash up .Elle helped her get dressed in a white dress made up of cotton and beautiful design of birds with a light blue colour which reached her ankles .It perfectly matched with her greenish eye colour and with hair down.
She looks like a doll with an innocent look on her face. She was getting ready to go to the church as it was the day her mother died five years ago and unfortunately it was on her birthday night .Merry always thought that she is so unlucky for her family.Her mother death effected her so badly that it made her go in depression.But her father tried his best to get her over it and get out of that thought from her mind.
" Elle please take care of Sumi" Merry asked Elle to take care of her pet dog Sumi.She loved her pet as she felt warmth from those eyes of the little one.
" Don't worry princess and be careful on the way. " Elle responded and head back to the mansion after Merry left for church in her carriage.
After praying in the church she was returning to the mansion but suddenly someone jumped on the roof of the carriage made the carriage stumble and attacked it .All guards were protecting the princess but someone with a mischievous smile came in and it was non other than her own uncle's son Cedric,who once asked Merry's father for her hand in marriage but he rejected it .
Cedric was himself very powerful to get anyone he desired and he found it so easy to get Merry who was as fragile as a flower.
He approached his hand to hold her by back of her neck which made her scream in fear .Merry even tried to get out of his grip by using all her strength but failed because he was much more powerful than normal soldiers.
"You think you can get out of my sight dear Mariana ? "he asked with tilting his head and said " Your father has forgotten who he has rejected,now you have to face all the consequences for his fault" this made Merry feel numb as she could no think of a way to get out of his grip.
Then Cedric approached to hold her waist to kidnap her but all of a sudden he was kicked on his left cheek and fall on the the carriage's floor and the kick was from someone whose eyes appeared to be willing to kill him on the spot and his mind suddenly clicked and he realised he was non other than Maximilian who was known by each and everyone.
" How you dared to kick me you bastard" Cedric screamed and tried to take out his sword but Maximilian stopped him on the spot by throwing a punch on Cedric's face .
"How dare you touch her ? Maximilian asked with full anger in his voice Merry was so terrified by this situation and suddenly she lost her balance as she stumbled but Maximilian's arm reached her and helped her .
"Are you okay ? " he asked with concern in his eyes and suddenly his eyes met her eyes which took his breath and he felt something he could not explain in words .It was Maximilian 's first time to see someone that ethereal .But he also saw she was trembling with fear and he got more furious and ordered his knights to arrest Cedric and send his family a warning notice to forget to even think of giving birth to such jerk.They followed his orders and took Cedric by force.
"Are you ....." he wanted to ask her felt her breathing was increasing.He tried make her calm.
" Take deep breath and calm down , you are safe now" he said it repeatedly to make her calm .After a while she started slowly taking deep breaths as he instructed.He held her hands and made her sit on the carriage seat so that she could feel safe .He doesn't know how to even calm someone as he himself never had anyone around him to teach him such things but he tried his best to calm her.
" Tha..tha.thank you fo...for he...helping me" she stuttered as she got so nervous . Maximilian could feel she was not fine and was so much surprised by how much she was trying to compose herself.
" it's my fault to come late ,you are my responsibility and still I made you go through all this ." he said .Merry got surprised by his words and asked in confusion " Y..You..Your res.. responsibility??"
