his strike with his sword, Jarvis chopped his head off
forcefully.
After that, he saw a number of guards downstairs in
the yard. He went down the stairs while two soldiers went
up to him. Holding his sword with both hands, he struck the
first soldier in the neck and the second in his stomach.
He continued going down the stairs and saw a
distant guard. The guard was very tall and big with long
black hair falling down the sides of his head and long thick
black facial hair. They started running quickly towards
each other, with Jarvis running faster than the huge guard.
The closer they got to each other, the faster they ran until
they were close to each other. The huge guard struck
aiming at Jarvis’s head. Jarvis lowered his head and hit the
huge soldier, cutting his chest and stomach.
After that, Jarvis went up some stairs and headed to
a room, which he opened and did not find anyone inside.
He headed to the next room and opened it to find a group of
the king and his son’s women sleeping. As he entered the
room, they woke up and started screaming and running
away.
He grabbed one of them by her hair and shouted
while holding his sword with his other hand, “Where is
Harlem’s room?”
The woman was terrified but she decided not to tell
him where her prince was.
She lied, screaming, “I do not know.”
He shouted like a roaring lion, “Tell me where
Harlem’s room is, or I will kill you.”
