章 21: Chapter 20: |Comrades And Prison Breakouts(3)|
My prison cell was still locked though the roof from above from where Captain Hook had bust out was still wide open. I can use my thread magic to hop unto the roof and directly get of the prison just like the other prisoners but..
"LADY ANASTASIA DE ROTTENSTEIN!!"
Yup, that would mean I would have to betray the guy who is desperately trying to save me.
I stretched my hands and "smack" released all the knuckles of my fingers and then tingled them to release a series of threads out.
My threads abruptly hardened, twisted and turned inside the prison door's concrete lock and soon enough, fell down completely broken and unlocked on the ground.
I tossed the red bangs covering my sweaty forehead and pulled them back.
Humph, piece of cake.
OK....I smirked abruptly tearing half the bottom of the long flowing gown...here we go and rapidly run towards the collapsing prison cells.
I need to find him. Why is the prince here!? Darn it! Isn't he supposed to be busy finding the Cinderella, outside the prison? Oh, wait that's me. I guess I can't help it.
I grumbled under my breath and
walked through the other cells, the prison yard and the jailer's chatting boo- I mean, resting booth. But, I had no leads except the magnetic yet fragile voice that kept calling me.
Cough.. Cough.."LADY ROTTENSTEIN! WHERE ARE YOU!!? "
I need to hurry, fast! It seems like the prince's body isn't coping up with this dusty atmosphere. And, judging by his voice it's only a matter of time before he..
"PRINCE ZENO!! " I yelled back finally noticing a translucent blue strong yet fading shield magic erupting from the arms of the prince.
He abruptly looked at me hearing my loud voice and smiled with cheeks flushed with happiness. His lips grinned as though it had finally found the joy, it was looking for, when suddenly a huge rumble from the broken prison wall drifted down towards his direction.
"Prince Zeno!! Look out!" I cried as the rumble raced down on the ground. But, it was already too late. And, if I don't do something fast.. the corpse of the prince would be last thing I want to see..Ughhh!!!
"B-Big Sister Anasta! Help me! " he squeaked bitterly in fear as a quick yet crazy thought flickered my head and I abruptly sent my threads towards both the directions changing it's compound into elasticity and pulled myself back.
My body flew in great force like a coke-cork by the exerted pressure and within few seconds I landed on the floor on the opposite direction along with the prince toppled under me as the rumble exploded from behind.
"Fresh smell of roses" I heard the mumble of the exhausted prince and immediately opened my eyes from the momentarily trance.
My eyes locked into the prince's deep ocean ones. Blue, I never knew his eyes were this blue. Just like a prince fresh out of a fairytale (ironically). I simply blinked at them in trance and, for the moment, right then, I think.. I almost found the cheeks of the prince turned as red as my own.
But, it must probably be just a mirage or my eyes playing games on me due to the dusty and hazy vision because, the moment I squeezed my eyes and looked again, I noticed the prince's lips turn into that usual signature cheeky smirk.
"Well, I always knew, you cannot resist my attractiveness, Lady Rottenstein, but.. Don't you think this.. is too soon for both of us." he joked about the awkward position we now were in.
I squeezed my eyes, annoyed and tried getting up purposely kicking the prince's stomach in the process.
"Ow.. Ow.. " the prince squeaked in pain slowly struggling to get up from the muddy ground, along with me.
"I was just saving your life you bastard prince!" I snapped at him as he dramatically flung his hand over his chest.
"Oh the terror, the princess is using mean words.."
"I am not a princess or a royalty! I am Anastasia De Rottenstein. Get it!" I bragged with an villainous grin hanging on the corner of my lips and looked back at the alarmed Prince.
"So, it's not wrong if I use em.." I winked, stretching my hand towards Prince Zenon and pulled him up.
"So.. Cool!... A-Ah, I mean, thank you, Lady Rottenstein..." He rubbed his blonde hair and suddenly looked at me with wide eyes as the rumble shower continued falling around us.
"But, How did you escape your prison? Don't tell me, that's because your cell was already broken then.. "
"Oh, I unlocked the door through my thread magic of course. "
I was too busy looking for a safer path to escape through the prison's exit leading the prince's hand.
"Wait,.. You have thread magic?"
"Ugh huh.." I nodded as the prince looked at me with a bewildered expression.
"But.. "
"There are many other ways to escape too. No prison can ever capture me with my flexible thread babies. And, that's how I escaped the prison, this week, to buy some supplies in the market."
"What..? You went to the market? B-But when??"
"Before two days or so.. " I blabbered without a second thought, not even bothering to notice the suspicious look the Prince was throwing at me.
We need to find safe route and lead the second prince out of this wretched prison for his own safety. Why am I always stuck in situations like this? No.. No I need to think more clearly. If I recall the entrance of the prison must be over..
Ah, there it is. I smiled with a sense of accomplishment and walked faster towards it grabbing the prince's hand.
"Hiya! Prince Zenon, we have.."
"Wait.. Lady Rottenstein. Then.. Are you the mysterious woman who had fought the dragon in the market? "
"Yes, so what? Can't you see this calls for celebration we have finally found the... "
Oh...Oops.
I stopped abruptly at the prison's entrance after finally noticing the mixture of bafflement, surprise, astonishment filling the
face of the young prince.
"Ehhhh!? So, you are the woman in the black robe who saved my life that day!?! The mysterious Cinderella!? That explains... everything!.. "
"H-hey, hey, don't jump to random conclusions, Prince Zeno.. "
"Am I..? Anastasia-san?.." He asked sternly suddenly surrounded by a scary dark aura of terror, though.. This smile plastered cute prince was suddenly possessed by a horrific demon-lord with many little evil spirits hovering behind his form.
And, He was still smiling. He was definitely smiling! I can assure you but, for some reason I abruptly felt a chill down my spine by merely looking at him.
"A-Ah, Y-Yes!!! " I squawked gulping my saliva at the extremely pissed-off Prince.
Waahh... H-He's soo s-scary... I never even knew, he could make a face like that!
"You are not a good liar. Do you not know that, Lady Rottenstein?"
"I can explain! Prince Zeno! "
I almost yell when suddenly a big blast of an explosion exploded before our eyes. The ground we stood upon vibrated as a thick blast of dust fought against our vision forcing us to wrap our eyes.
I blinked at the sight that stood before me.
Flickers of fire burnt everywhere. On the trees, the little Huts, open fields literally EVERY WHERE. Loud wails of people crying for their wounded loved ones, fear stricken faced children running around in bafflement and yells of the guards from all forces tried controlling the panic, the atmosphere was filled with all of them. It was a disaster and.. We all then knew that..
Our city, our only home, Fairytale was slowly being destroyed by an unknown force.
