Then there was the sound of someone sprinting up the stairwell,it was approaching them quickly, whomever it was.
"Sir, Sir Pelin has arrived to speak with you"It was a maid.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD3NlgKC3W
"Okay"Richard said, "And Lisa please let this palace be as it is"he continued.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Fow0gFZU
"Yea.. you lack the ability to appreciate beautiful things" Lisa said in a cringe manner.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB40jw4X89
"Not again,Lisa"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJRlGXcrCz
"Okay...someone is waiting for you beneath the steps, so hurry up"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KruhF8aKv
"Ohh.. yea"Richard said and went down the stairs.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y0fXPrWZT
"So Robin, your momma is not allowed to enter this room because your father believes that we should let this palace remain as it is, but..."Lisa turned back, "Robin" Robin was not there.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Jnxd2L9l
"Robin, where are you?"She said loudly.That's when there was the sound of footsteps on the third floor.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTeI6n44sL
"Robin, are you there?" She started going up, but then her eyes fell on the things around her;the walls around the staircase were covered with portraits which appeared to be very old.Looking at every portrait, it felt as though each one was telling a tale.Lisa reached the third floor and "Robin",her voice echoed across the floor but no one answered.That corridor was adorned with a variety of lovely items,candles of various sizes were decorated on the tables adjacent to the walls, soldiers' golden armour hung on the walls, displaying the pinnacle of their beauty in the light streaming in through the window and there were such portraits on the walls, that it appeared like the persons depicted in them would emerge from the portrait at any moment.Lisa was so lost in these things that she didn't even remember that she had come there to find Robin.Lisa looked at every portrait carefully, every portrait was the hallmark of beauty,but then Lisa's gaze was drawn to a portrait that stood out from the rest.There was a girl standing in that portrait whose beauty knew no bounds,her soft brown eyes were as serene and lovely as a lake,gold of sunshine in her hair,lips that shame the red rose,she was dressed in a blue gown, which enhanced her beauty and she was also wearing a crown, even if she had not worn that crown, still one could see that portrait and say that it is a portrait of a princess.Lisa had no idea that someone had been staring at her for a long time,suddenly Lisa felt that someone was standing behind her,someone grabbed lisa's hand from behind,she quickly turned back but there was no one there but Robin, who was visibly horrified at seeing her in such a state.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLHi42Qr8r
"Ufff... so it's you, where were you,you know how worried momma was"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk4mKn4QAV
"Sorry momma, I just went inside a room filled with several books, will you tell me the stories of those books please momma" he said in a very sweet voice.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHLh53GfYS
"Robin's momma has never said no to him"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdItq5vYCuD
"Thanks momma, you are my favorite"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh8M9DOoh1
"You too, my son" She said.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtVHdiyvzP
They began descending the stairwell together.On the third floor, there was someone who wanted her to stay a bit longer.That princess's portrait was changing now, her eyes had turned red, and her face had entirely changed; there was no trace of her former beauty remaining.This new face was horrifying.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WAB3eR4VW

Downstairs, Sir Pelin and Richard were drinking tea in the hall.Sir Pelin was dressed in a white robe with a red feather on one of the corners.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXJsPKHHjI
"Is it difficult for you to live here?"Sir Pelin asked him.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYpwL2OTMq
"No,who wouldn't want to live in such a lovely palace and there are so many facilities that we can't even complain"Richard said.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJSJ0K2OwT
"It is my responsibility"Sir Pelin said with a smile.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHqxbzUPj6
"Mr. Pelin, I wanted to ask you something"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rUoC2ufP5
"Yea"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3l342HyGw
"I needed the key to the fourth room on the second floor, a servant was telling that you have that key"On hearing this, Sir Pelin's tea spilled out of his mouth.He placed his cup on the table, took out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW5ZeZqn2P
"Aaa..I think there are many rooms in this palace other than the one where you can stay comfortably" Sir Pelin said.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTN0Rgq9TT
"Yea but... "154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nhwAejEos
"As you told me, the horses are ready"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISU2Rutgp
"And I am sure that every villager will give me full support to finish this case"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5GtebDeY5
"Of course, you won't get a chance to complain"154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL8mL1FImY
"So now it's time for us to leave"Richard said.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQx6z2wXca
They both came out of the palace, a man with a bushy moustache stood outside, bridling two horses.On seeing both of them, he lowered his head in respect.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL6FXSbR8w
"Thanks for the horses, Braizon" Sir Pelin said.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Zjx7EJlk
"It's my duty, my Lord" Braizon said.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw3sazTDMr
"He's Constable Richard, and he's come to investigate the recent incidents"Braizon was taken aback when he heard this, so what he heard at the bar last night was true.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRgNn8OHIZ
"If you ever need a horse, Braizon is always available, right Braizon", Braizon just nodded yes without saying anything, he was just looking at the palace with dreadful eyes.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmESW5Y4ehe
"Yea sure" Richard said with a smile.Richard stared at Braizon,he looked terrified.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hAGUQPwsc
"Any problem" Richard asked him.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVUtxBkTFF
"May God keep you safe,you.... "154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m3bIWI0gZ
That's when,"Braizon"Sir Pelin said,Braizon fell silent before finishing his sentence.Sir Pelin was looking at him angrily.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDdkrP6ab2
"What?" Richard said.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7QNlNg0eb
"We must go now" Sir Pelin said.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadwFObVUrf
"Yea,"Richard found it a bit strange,but he didn't say anything.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPfEsSf7vE
They both mounted their horses and rode away.Braizon returned his gaze to the palace,which was quiet on the outside, but equally scary and mysterious on the inside.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdTJje1Drb
He abruptly turned around and dashed towards his home.154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfReDAT8mNI
