Alex Red and The Seventh Element

Chap. 6: The three riddles

Without making much noise, Alex and Rod descend down the stairs to the backyard of the house. Fate favored them, since there was no one inside, but they had to find a way out of there, because jumping over the fence would summon too much attention, but no other way of escaping was seen.

-Well you have to jump the fence, there is no other choice, in full sun in the afternoon, pray that they do not recognize me, if we do not end up imprisoned on bail, we will go out of this one. - Rod says seriously analyzing the situation they were in.

They went to the fence, jumped as fast as they could, and ran even faster, until noticing no danger, however, their mishap released some alarms, some isolated neighbors, shouted scared. - Catch them, thieves! -

They escaped by the hair, undoubtedly Alex's physical form did not compare to Rod's, he did not seem even a bit tired, while Alex, for a moment, thought he would die that same day. They hid a few minutes between there and here, next to the conglomerate of people that already surrounded some streets near the real location, considering that everything had quieted down and they headed towards their goal. When the police went to investigate, they would already be in the comfort of the palace.

-Good afternoon, I can come to see your majesty, Princess Dian, here with my friend. -Rod spoke to the intercom at the front door, dodging several curious, could be seen from the bars of the fence that shone in its intricate shields of Aldobe: the huge and lavish palace and its enormous surroundings.

-Well you have to wait, all this has a security protocol, and more, they will try to look for you inside the system, anyway, blah, blah, and I come unexpectedly, but Dian has a high esteem to me. In the end they will open us, you trust In me, let's just wait patiently. - Rod says with a tone of security, although Alex still had the anxiety that suddenly the police caught them; but among so many crowds it didn't seem possible; some were very upset because they covered the view to the palace, while others were elated, they could not resist asking for autographs.

After waiting for tortuous 40 minutes, Dian herself was on her way to the door escorted by three guards, armed with semi-automatic pistols. -Excuse me for the delay, but I didn't expect you today, Roddy, ignore my guards, let's go to the cottage you know, my favorite, today they won't let you in, not with that stranger, but what is your name? -He was heading towards Alex, but he was just dumbfounded with the beauty of the princess, her eyes as green as Rod's, her almost brown skin, plus her perfectly wavy jet hair that reached her waist, and her body so structured ... meditated, on television she repaired herself beautiful, but the real version far exceeded her. -Alex. He says with a great tone of respect towards the monarchy almost as if bowing, which caused him a slight smile on the princess, and to say that Rod almost caused him a loud laugh.

They are already transiting the main road, surrounded by gardens worthy of kings, which scented and soothing, and close to the entrance to the palace facilities as such, they climb on something like golf carts, each with a guard, they are led through the extensive and wonderful grounds, until reaching one cottage. On the side there was a beautiful and worthy of mentioning lake, with a thunderous marble bridge. Step followed by getting off those cars, Dian expels the guards in an almost cruel way ... and they sit outside in a pleasant and delicate outdoor armchairs, true works of art, where you could appreciate all the splendid landscape that I surrounded them.

-Alex, if I do not do this way, they do not leave, their duty is to watch over me, until I die for me if there is no other remedy, but I have something like an agreement with them, but I would never enjoy a moment of precious freedom. -Dian says calming Alex's almost frightening face.

-But well, Rod, my confident friend, you only come when we plan it, what brings you here? - He says softly like the princess she is.

To Alex's surprise, he tells her more than he expected, ignoring minimal aspects, it was more than clear that his trust was recorded as mutual. -I love it, an adventure, if you go to that place, I go with you, I'm tired of the millions of halls in this castle, Rod, you know de facto how much I want to escape from manners and protocols, this is my sacred chance. –Dian says something happy and evil.
