BXBX NOVEL Chapter 312 Unexpected
Diana stared at Tauriel without knowing what to say but the she-elf knew exactly what to say.
"Who are you?" Tauriel asked.
"You\'re an elf," Diana said.
"Yes, I am aware of that," Tauriel said.
"Why are you contacting Jude through a communication orb?" Diana asked.
"Where is Jude?" Tauriel asked as the expression on her face was beginning to change.
"Jude is outside with the rest of the guards, why are you calling him?" Diana asked. "I know elves and humans don\'t talk so it\'s surprising to see you contacting a human."
Tauriel didn\'t say anything as he stared at her for a while before turning her gaze to the side and turning it back to her.
"You\'re a princess right, the princess of Asaka?" Tauriel asked.
"Yeah," Diana said.
"And Jude is in your father\'s castle?"
"Yeah," Diana said.
"Why?"
"He spent the night here with both Carl and some other man but I don\'t know why, I tried asking them but they refused to say anything to me," Diana said. "Something has been going on in the kingdom but nobody wants to tell me about it."
\'That\'s why she didn\'t freak out when she saw me.\' Tauriel
realized.
"Did Jude tell you about anything happening here?" Diana asked.
"No, I don\'t think he would want to tell me anything about Asaka," Tauriel said.
"Oh, ok," Diana said.
"Can you please get Jude to come up here, I need to ask him something?" Tauriel said.
"I\'m sorry I can\'t, my father wouldn\'t let me go outside," Diana said.
"Ok but please don\'t mention any of this to anyone," Tauriel said.
"Ok, but what\'s your name?" Diana asked.
"Tauriel and you?"
"Diana," Diana said. "Are you Jude\'s friend?"
"Yeah," Tauriel said with a nod. "Nice to meet you, Princess Diana." She added before ending the call.
"Nice to meet you too Tauriel," Diana muttered as the image of Tauriel vanished.
\'And I was told that elves were mean and wicked.\'
"Did you really think it was wise to talk to the daughter of the man who wants to capture us?" Tuchel asked from where he was sitting in the corner as soon as Tauriel had ended the call.
"You heard her Tuchel, she doesn\'t know anything about everything that has been going on and she\'s such a sweet girl," Tauriel said.
"People appear sweet to deceive other people sometimes," Tuchel said.
"I could tell by the looks in her eyes, she meant every single thing she said to me," Tauriel said.
"Well let\'s just hope you\'re right," Tuchel said.
"We should be hoping they succeed in stopping Ashburn," Tauriel said, turning her gaze to the exit.

Jude, Carl, and Festus along with the guards assigned to their portion of the kingdom\'s boundary had been waiting there all there waiting for a troop of elves to match down their way but none of that had happened and the sun was beginning to go down.
"Are you sure they are going to come today?" The army commander who was sitting on top of his black horse turned to Festus to ask.
"You should go ask your king, he was the one that got the message and told his people about it," Festus said.
"How dare you?" The commander said, riding his horse closer to Festus and pulling out his sword.
"Are you trying to kill the man trying to help us, Kingsley?"
Everyone quickly turned to see the king approaching them and this time he wasn\'t putting on his royal robe, he was in some kind of clothing that would allow him to have free movement.
"I\'m sorry sire," Kingsley said, returning his sword to its sheath and riding back to his position.
The king walked to Festus and pulled his mouth to his ear to whisper something to him.
"If this doesn\'t work I\'ll throw you into our new dungeon and you will never get out of there," Roy whispered to the light wizard.
"The both of us will be in that dungeon of yours if it doesn\'t work," Festus whispered back to him.
They waited and waited for Ashburn and his soldiers but they didn\'t show up until everywhere had gone dark.
The king ordered the maids to bring them food and water there as he still believed that Ashburn and his troops would show up or worse they could try to ambush them.
Everyone sat down to eat after the maids had brought the food, everyone except Festus who was still standing on the stone, and Jude who had gone to check something.
Just before they could start eating, Festus sensed something as he quickly hit his staff on the white stone to activate the light dome but a purple ball of energy had gone through the light dome and was quickly heading for the king\'s castle.
"How?" Festus muttered as he quickly turned his gaze to where the purple ball had gone.
It didn\'t take long before a loud scream was heard coming from the king\'s castle.
"Diana," Carl muttered.
"Head to the castle now!" The king ordered his soldiers.
"There won\'t be a need for that, I am right here," Ashburn said as they all turned to see the elf wizard just outside the light dome.
"Papa," Melina said as she tried to pull herself free from Ashburn\'s grip and run to her father she was terrified.
She struggled and struggled until Ashburn tapped her on the head with his staff and she had immediately stopped struggling.
"Ashburn please she doesn\'t have anything to do with any of this," Roy said.
"I know but it\'s really funny how you thought, I was planning on attacking your kingdom with my troops when there is a better way to settle things," Ashburn said.
Diana had come rushing downstairs after watching her little sister get carried away from her and now she was listening to everything.
"What do you want?" Roy asked.
"I want you to sign a declaration officially handing your kingdom over to me or you will never see your daughter again," Ashburn said.
"This isn\'t fair Ashburn, we don\'t have your elves," Roy said.
Ashburn let out a burst of maniacal laughter before turning his gaze back to Ashburn.
"You think you don\'t have him but he knows where they are." The elf king said using his staff to point at Jude who was standing at the far back. "He came into your kingdom with them the day he returned after going missing for some time."
"Jude run!!!" Carl yelled.
The soldiers quickly turned to the young knight and began to chase him.
Jude took off heading towards the forest because that was the only place he could think of now.
He had a head start because of where he was standing but it wouldn\'t be long before he got tired unless he found somewhere to hide.
He got to the forest to see Tauriel and Tuchel standing over the hole as the travel stones had lit up.
"Jump!" He shouted to the twins as he got closer.
"Why?" Tauriel asked.
"They are after me, just jump!" Jude said.
The two elves did as they were told and jumped into the portal and as soon as Jude got there he jumped in.
After the three had jumped in, one of the hooded females trying to steal Festus\' staff jumped down from the tree in the area and jumped into the portal before it closed.
The guards ran into the area after the portal had closed and after looking around they weren\'t able to find anything.
