✗ Three

  The kingdom was not a prince, but no one but Natassia seemed to care about that. Whenever she passed by where the boy was chained, she felt tears sting the eyes. Anyway, there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. The guard had told himself that there was nothing to be done, then why continue with these thoughts? 

   The fact is that she did not want to forget. Natassia felt there was something wrong with the death of the prince and there was still the fact that she thought seeing him breathe gently. She went back to where the boy's body was chained and approached slowly, ensuring that there was no guard there. 

   Natassia looked slowly to the movement of the breath in his chest, but could see nothing, only felt a gentle breeze and barely noticeable on your face. When he looked up, he realized that breath was the breath of the prince. He was still alive, but how? 

   She did not know if I was over there or had someone he was alive. No, perhaps not a good idea, since it would try to kill him again. But she could not save this for her, because sooner or later he would die of fact, was to feel hunger, cold or thirsty. 

   Natassia heard the sound of chains in front of her. When she looked up, saw the eyes of turquoise him staring at her intently, but without any feeling. For a moment, she let out a scream, but his gaze made ​​her shut up. He really was alive! But, how? 

- Why are you here? - His voice was hoarse from lack of use, but even so it was still velvety and sweet to her ears - Go away. 

- But you're alive, I need to communicate to someone! 

- No it does not. I'm fine like this. Besides, you yourself did not rule out this hypothesis by thinking that they might try to kill me again? 

- How do you know? 

- Do you think high. - He smiled awkwardly, as if his muscles were rigid. 

   She did not know what to say, but wanted more than anything to keep talking to him. 

- What is your name? 

- Natassia Daewron. 

   He said nothing, just stood deep in thought, but without taking his eyes off her. 

- I've never seen you around here. 

- I just arrived in town. Even got here seconds before your "death". 

- I think I saw you. Anyway, do not want to come back here. 

- But ... 

- Do not contest the orders of a noble, just obey. You do not want to just stand here and do not want you to tell anyone about it, I'm being clear enough? Unless you want to be the real killer, I advise you to remain silent. 

- Yes, sir. 

- Now get out of here before some guards appear. 

   Natassia could not walk without looking back. He was still with his eyes open, watching her leave, but without any kind of sentiment expressed in them.
