Nikolai walked down the main hall of the castle, the maids in the hallway giving a curtsey before going back to work. His father was in the midst of a meeting with advisors over strategy leaving Nikolai to the rest of the days work. The war had stayed closer to the northern borders, with the main city was on the southern coast the people of the capital city weren't as much affected by the war. He sat down in his office with a sigh and got to work.

Kelly made her way home from class, worn out from a busy week until a flash of light caught her eye past the tree line of the forest.
She wandered over to it to find what looked like the land rippling. She walked closer until she tripped, her feet catching a root and fell right through it.
Everything was white as she hit the ground on her back after falling for what felt like several seconds.
She opened her eyes just outside a different forest, unfamiliar to her with a town in the distance.

He signed a few extra papers before passing them off to be sent out. After a moment he went out to the gardens and took a walk trying to gather his thoughts

She slowly sat up, rubbing her head where she had hit it and rolled to lean against something as she felt nauseous.
"Halt!" A voice snapped at her and she looked over to see someone dressed oddly, like period clothing but was clearly a guard with several others joining.
"A spy."
"What? Spy? Me? No I'm not a spy." She started though they ignored and made a grab for her. She avoided them and ran.

Nikolai looked towards the woods with a confused expression hearing what sounded like guards yelling about something. A few coming up beside him "it's probably best to go inside your highness"
"Im fine here, whatever the problem is I'm sure it's not too serious "

She ran blindly, just trying to get away and make sense of what was happening and did not notice another soldier catching her in a lasso and pulling her back. She tripped and fell to her knees as he made quick work of tying her hands tightly behind her and wrapping more rope to keep her arms to her side before pulling her to her feet and forcing her to walk towards a castle ahead.
"You spies certainly dress oddly." He commented.
"I'm not a spy." She insisted though was ignored again and shoved roughly, making her stumble but managed to get her footing again.

She was locked up in the dungeon until a decision was made in what to do with her.
The dungeon terrified her, dark and scary with different parts she was sure were for torture.
The leader of the guards that caught her went into the throne room.
"Your highness, a spy has been captured in the woods."

He nodded and did so, keeping the shackles on her and brought her to the throne room before him.
She looked around for a second, taking in even more new surroundings and pale from fear and confusion, both evident on her face as well, hiding how she felt was never anything she was good at.
She was caught off guard by the prince's good looks at first though reminded herself that it seemed her fate was up to him, her heart racing.

He was surprised to see a woman before him, never heard of women as spies.
"A women? Is this some sort of joke?" He asked with an annoyed expression as he stood up and looked her over. Finally noticing what she was wearing and turned slightly red and averted his eyes from her. He took a cloak from the guard beside him and draped it over her "are you sure she doesnt have another job?" He questioned assuming she was from the brothels based on her manner of dress
"What is your name?"

"Kelly." She answered, noticing his behavior and made the connection to her manner of dress, she noticed that compared to those around her she must have looked like a prostitute or 'lady of the night' as was also a popular term.
"I'm no whore, how I'm dressed isn't very out of place where I'm from." She added.

He raised an eyebrow in confusion "so you are a spy? No one comes so close to the castle especially those not from here"

"No I'm not a spy either, I'm just lost and stumbled out here, honest." She insisted. "I just want to find my way back home."

He watched her for a moment, he could tell she was genuinely afraid and looked to the guard "take the chains off her and have a Maid get her something to wear" he ordered and one scrambled over to unlock the chains
