Chapter 129 Someone Was Looking For You

**Rosalie’s POV

The crisp morning air brushed gently against my skin.

As we moved north, I could feel the temperature had dropped along the way. The plants in viewalso changed from tropical trees to pines.

Our destination, the northern territory.

I wasn't sure where we were on our journey, but Seraphine was confident.

I didn't know whether it was wise to trust Seraphine again. At least, among Ethan, Soren, andSeraphine, she was the only one who came forward proactively and told me the truth.

The brothers, on the other hand, neither of them had been completely truthful with me to this day.Seraphine seemed to know the directions clearly, however, going in the right direction wasn't ourbiggest concern.

You're positive that this is going to be safe?” The question was one I had asked multiple times, andwith a sigh, she turned to look at me.

“It will be dangerous, but we are near a turnoff.” Seraphine looked me in the eyes. “Would you likeme to hold the baby?

I shook my head. At least the little one seemed to be excited about the journey. His bright blue eyesseemed to be amazed by the scenery along the way. Just looking at him gave me strength.Seraphine sighed, “Once we reach the small town, you and the babe can rest for the night.”

Rest sounded amazing in the moment, and as my eyes gazed down at the baby at my chest. Icouldn't help but smile. Never had I felt such love until the day he was born. It wasn't earned, butunconditional.

The love between mother and child was like nothing I could have ever dreamed of.

“This way...” Seraphine replied softly as we trudged closer towards a broken down wooden bridge inthe distance.

1 glanced around at the area. Crossing the bridge would leave us out in view of anyone who wasnearby.

“Unfortunately, it's not the safest to expose ourselves, but we have to cross the bridge.” Her eyesgazed out from our hidden spot to the road, looking around for any sign of trouble. “Weve comethis far. Hopefully, that means we've lost Soren’s men. The only thing I would be concerned with isrogues, but even then they come out more at night.”

I nodded my head.

“Quickly, we must go,” Seraphine urged, as she moved from the shadows of the brush to the openroad to cross the bridge. My feet followed quickly behind hers.

As we stepped onto the wooden bridge, I heard the squeaky sound of the boards accompanyingour steps. I prayed to the moon goddess that no one was around to hear the noise. However, thingssometimes just wouldn't go as well as 1 hoped.

"Seraphine-" I whispered, listening to the distant voices of men. “Someone’s coming.”

Running towards the tree line, we made cover in the shadows, listening and waiting to see who itwas that was coming. With the war on approach, there were warriors everywhere, and on top ofthose warriors were the rogues.

The rogues were said to be vicious and unforgiving in their venture to wreak havoc in the north.Vens “Stay here. * Seraphine whispered, “11 see if i can get a better view of what we me dealingwith

Nodding my head, I watched her figure move through the busheg, and before long. I watched herback gtifter, and then she turned around to face me,

"We have to replace a way out... It's Soren’s men,” she whispered.

My heart felt as if it dropped into my stomach upon hearing Seraphine’s words,

I thought we had escaped, but Soren was more persistent than we expected. Why wouldn't he justlet me go?

Seraphine thought over the situation for a moment and said firmly, “I will lead them away."

“No, you can't...” 1 gasped. “If they catch you-"

“They won't. You must trust an old lady to know what she is doing.”

Hesitation filled me while I was thinking over her plan. She patted my hand and assured me, 'lpromise, I know them way better than they think. I'll be fine.”

“Be careful then.” I knew I had to agree and trust Seraphine. All the way here, she'd proven she wasmore capable than I had thought. I remembered Seraphine told me that she traveled a lot, and itseemed that she had a lot of experiences blending herself into crowds and disappearing from theeyes that were searching for her.

“When and where should I meet up with you then?” I asked.

A kind, soft smile passed over her face as she reached up and lightly patted the side of my cheek. “Iwon't be gone long. Go up the road and take the right fork. I will lead Soren’s men down to the left.Go to the inn, and I will replace you there.

I nodded to show that I understood. “Okay, Seraphine. Please, please be careful, and I'll see you atthe inn.” After all, I still saw her as a friend, and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her.However, before she took off, she added, “If I don't return to you by tomorrow morning, then I wantyou to follow every direction I have written on this piece of paper for you. Someone else can takeyou the rest of the way. You would just have to get to that village.”

I didn’t like the way she said it. It felt like this was goodbye. I shook my head, “No, I'd rather wait foryou.”

“Listen to me. Even if I am late, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they got me. I may just need a littlemore time to get rid of them. But you shouldn't wait there because they can catch up quickly. Trustme, I'll be fine.”

Finally, I reluctantly agreed to let her do what she needed to do.

My hands wrapped around my baby, protecting him from the unforeseeable danger that waslurking nearby.

"Be safe, Seraphine.”

"Oh, dear. Don't you worry about me,” she chuckled. “I have been doing this since long before youwere born.”

As the words left her mouth, I watched as she took off through the foliage and made her way up theroad and down the left path. The men passed my hidden position without even a glance in mydirection.

A heavy sigh left my mouth as I realized that I had gone unnoticed

I rocked my boy a couple more times and watched him start to doze off. I whispered as my lipskissed his tiny forehead, “Let's get you somewhere safe.”

After taking another moment, I pushed from my hiding place. I moved along the tree line and triedto hide my tracks as much as I could. Finally, when a distant village came into view, I let out a breathof relief.

I moved quicker towards the village seeking the inn that Seraphine had told me about. It was a tallbuilding with thatched roofing and white walls.

The inn was busy, which was good. My arrival didn't draw much attention. With the amount ofguests that stayed here,

# was easier for me to blend in

The friendly staff didn’t even ask me any questions. The moment the woman behind the countersaw me, she showed me the way to my room, as if she was expecting me.

The room wasn't lavish, but it was safe and comforting for me and the baby. There was even a crib. Iwas amazed by how thoroughly Seraphine had arranged everything

“Thank you for showing me the room!” i handed a tip to the staff member.

“Oh, that's so kind of you. Thank you for your generosity, mine!” She was grateful.

It wasn't easy to continue running in a place like this during war time. The inn helped numerouspeople, including me, and they deserved to be appreciated.

After the door behind me clicked, I felt a sense of security. Placing down the bag on the chair, 1dragged my sweet boy from my chest, and laid him in the crib. My boy was fast asleep with his tinybody swaddled.

I decided to take a nice warm shower while he was asleep. After a couple of long days on the run, itfelt good to be clean.

When I came out from the shower, it was as if the baby knew I was ready for him. The little peanutwas also awake. Therefore, he was treated with a fun bubble bath before his meal.

It was getting dark outside, and I was finally able to put him back into the crib after I saw a yawnfrom him. Then I laid down on the bed, watching his sweet face.

He was the picture of perfection. Everything I did, I did for him. To give him the life he deserved. Iwanted him to have a normal and peaceful life, but day after day, I realized that normal might notbe what he was born for. There would always be someone who wanted him, or someone whowanted to use him.

The only thing I could do as his mother was to protect him, love him, and raise him to be a goodman,

Finally, I drifted off to sleep, preparing myself for the next day to come.

I was woken up by a soft knock at my door.

Seraphine was here!

I rushed to open the door but was disappointed to replace that it wasn't Seraphine. It was the staffmember from earlier.

“Miss,” she whispered, “I was sent here to warn you.”

I felt a knot in my stomach. Immediately, my sleepiness dissipated, and I was wide awake. “Whathappened?” I asked.

"Someone was looking for you. They've entered the village, and it won't take long for them to gethere.”

My heart leaped from my chest.

Were those Soren’s men? If so, what happened to Seraphine?!

"What's the fastest way for me to get out of the village?” I asked firmly as I strode over to my sonand placed him back into the harness on my chest. I grabbed the backpack and slung it back ontomy shoulders.

“To the east, miss. Here's the map.”

Not wasting another moment, I made my escape again. I looked out of the window, and from adistance, I saw a truck at the end of the road.

I knew that whoever that was that had come after us, they came for my son. I was just a breeder, anobody. However, my little boy, he was the future of this kingdom, the hidden prospective ruler whocould change the fate of this country if he wanted to.

But I would never allow anyone to take advantage of him. I'd do anything to protect him.

This way, miss. Follow me! There's a cottage in the woods you could use before the night ends.” Sheled the way, and I followed immediately.

No time to think more. They were almost here.

I had to go. Now!
