"How many girls went missing?"
"Including the princess, there are more than ten women, including nine daughters of the ministers."
" How can all those girls, gone at once?"
"Yes they are, including our little princess."
"Garban has ten Minister's, why are there only nine?"
"Because my daughter has been sick lately she didn't go out that day so she wasn't abducted."
"Ok, so how do these people contact you people?"
"After they obtain the information from someone they captured they then send a letter. Princess, are you missing someone who came with you."
"Yes I am, she was separate from us at the market."
"I was wondering why I received a letter saying they need one thousand tells of SHARDS for a girl named Ever, is she the one?"
Lister looked down and she almost shook her head but, "minister I am not sure about that because there are a lot of girls by that name can I contact those people to ask for more details please."
"Sorry princess, they only contact us, we have no means of communicating with them."
"In that case I have all i what . I will be living now, Sniper, you go and do what you have to, we will be behind you."
"What do you mean by that? If you do something in a rush the girl may be in danger." The minister said.
"No need to worry, minister , when the king comes back, tell him that I will be back soon."
When Lister left the house she saw the king and the ministers coming, their faces were down.
"King Garban, why is he looking like there is a funeral? Maybe something happened" Lister went to hold his hand.
"Princess Lister, when did you come here?"
"A few hours ago what's the matter, are you ok king Garban?"
"No I am not ok my princess they tricked us."
"What do you mean tricked you?"
"I am sure you know by now that the princess and nine other daughters of the ministers were abducted. That includes more other girls and they demanded a lot of money from us, but after treading the money with our daughters they attacked us when coming here and took them back. I am not sure what they will demand this time."
"So they gave you back the girls but on the way back they attacked you and took the girls back?" The minister of finances asked the king.
"Yes James and I don't even know what next they want."
"My king don't do anything until I come back, if they demand anything don't respond until I am back." Lister said.
"Princess Lister, what are you going to do?"
"I have a plan that may save everyone."
"Please, princess , share the plane with us. Maybe we can help." The minister of finances said.
"No need I am able to do this alone, don't worry, girls let's go and get your master, and before I go, my king, ta…... .bha…..." Lister whispered into his ears.
"Ok princess, I will wait for your return and bring the money."

"We don't need your stupid information little girl, we already knew you came with a princess from Silia village."
"You mean you have spy's in the village? I see then there is no need of hiding my identity anymore, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Crown princess Sasha of Zumwanda and a daughter of King Chard of Silia village."
Ben and the other men looked at each other in surprise but in the next second they laughed.
"You, the princess of Silia village? What a joke, the princess of Silia never goes out, her face is ugly she has a very big scar on her face everyone who looks at it turns to stone."
"I also heard she is very heartless after prince Darius divorced her to be with his true love; she almost buried him alive."
Wow Aisha so this is what you have been doing about my reputation? Making me the villain of the story, I will make you pay in full.
"Do you mean this scar can turn people into stone?" I removed the skin on my scar.
The men stopped talking and looked at me. "Hahaha, stop joking little girl, your scar is as cute as your face and why do you hide it?"
They think my scar is cute? How is that possible, mirror where is the mirror? All yah I am in a cage.
"Can I have a mirror please?"
"Sorry Ms we don't have but you can use water in this to see your scar." When I looked at my scar it was a flower shaped scar, did that girl's medicine do this?
"See,this scar is not as hideous as that of the princess of Silia, ."
"I am the princess of Silia and the crown princess of Zumwanda. I have three thousand men under my control."
"But the princess has five thousand men, so you are clearly lying."
"All yes plus those two thousand my mother in law gifted me I keep forgetting, but still I don't need my men to crush you guys. If you let me out I can teach you but since you have tai me up my dog will do the job."
"Dog! Could it be that this woman is really the princess of Zumwanda? I heard she has a killer dog that can kill a thousand men on its own."
"No way this woman is just a pretty maid. If she has a dog, how can I abduct her that early?"
"Ben don't push your luck, Sniper will bring you to your knees, don't ask for my help later."
"Ben take this woman away if they don't pay us it's ok she can be used in other ways."
"The rat fearing boss finally said something and Ben dragged me away.

"Oscar, have you seen Sniper up there?" The pigeon flies on the shortcut road using the jungle.
"This way, I can't believe she got herself kidnapped again, this woman is really a piece of work."
"It's our fort princess if only we had enough food."
"But she eats all the food before we even get here Ever."
"Princess, wait I think that's their hideout."
Inside the hideout.
"What's your name, new girl?"
"It's only polite to give your name first before you ask others."
"All sorry my name is princess Alita of Garban kingdom."
"I am princess Sasha from Zumwanda."
"Wow I am pleased to meet you, sorry I didn't attend your wedding as you can see we have a problem."
"I will solve this problem soon, don't worry."
"Are you sure? you sure look cool for someone who has been captured, wait what are you doing."
"My help will arrive soon if it smells blood." I bit my finger a little and suddenly I heard commotion from outside, a rat came in with keys in its mouth.
"Is that a rat carrying keys?"
"S..shee what if they hear you?"
"No they won't hear you, because my dog has already beat them black and blue."
"Can a dog beat someone? O wait are you princess Sasha they call a monster with her guard dog?"
" Yes I heard people started calling me a monster."
"Sorry princess I didn't mean it that way I….."
The door burst open, but I had already finished unlocking all the fifty girls from the cage. Sniper threw something on the ground like a ragdoll.
