บท 3: Doomed or not

Back at the " Zambe " sect, Ya and Juan were being led to the front of the palace where the king and queen can be seen stepping out of their chamber to address the situation

"Long live the king," the people chorused as they bow to their king

"Don't stand on greetings," said the king

"My king, we found the princess and her hand maid at the exist of the forest," said one of the guards

"And what has that got to do with us?Are u guys nuts?" asked the priest angrily

"Your highness, great priest, we're sorry to say but we saw the princess helped a mortal to escape," replied the second guard

" What!!! ," exclaimed the king, "my daughter would never do that," he said

"Your highness, it's true, you can ask the princess too," said the first guard

The sect member were shocked as well as they couldn't believe their ears likewise the king and queen

"Is this true?" asked the king to the princess

"I'm sorry papa, but it's the truth," said Ya tearfully as she knew that she had disappointed her parents

"How could you Ya?..That mortal had intruded our privacy and we don't even know how he got in here in the first place and you allowed him to go without any questioning "

"I'm sorry, I'm willing to accept any punishment papa," replied the princess

"No!!! exclaimed the princess hand maid, I'm the one at fault here your highness, i allowed the mortal to escape, the princess knows nothing about this," said Juan to the king

"You can't talk like that, I led you into this Juan, please papa let my maid go. I'm willing to take the punishment alone," replied Ya tearfully

"Your highness, we're the one at fault here for failing to protect the princess," said Muyang and Fu as they knelt down before the king

"No! You guys know nothing about this, please punish me alone papa,"

"I can't believe you're also involved in this Muyang," said the priest angrily

"Sighs.....My king what are we going to do now, the princess and those involved in this have to be punished," said the Priest

"Please spare the princess your highness," said Juan, Muyang and Fu

"Hear ye, lock the princess, her maid, the priest son and the princess personal guards in the dungeon till further notice," said the king

Papa, I'm the only one at fault here, please spare others, they know nothing about it, please," replied the princess now struggling to free her self from the guards grip

"You should have known the consequences of your actions, I wouldn't spare you just because you're my daughter," said the king as he made his way into his chamber with his queen while the villagers bow down in respect.

The other sect member took their leave while Ya and her accomplice were being led by the guards to the prison dungeon.

Now at the prison gate, screams of pains can be heard from the prisoners as they were being tortured .

"OMG!! Are we gonna be staying here my princess," Juan said looking frightened

"I'll protect you with my life your highness," said Fu, her personal guard

"And why am I here then?" said Muyang the priest son to the guard, " I'll sacrifice my life for the love of my life when necessary, so back out," he added as Fu ignored him

"It's time to go in now princess, I hope you forgive us for this as we had no choice," said the first guard as Princess and her accomplice were been led in and thrown into the prison

"Easy, do you wanna kill us before our death sentence," said Muyang to the guards, "you don't throw people like that, we're not loads " Juan added angrily

The guards ignored as they made their way out of the prison after locking Ya and Juan in one cell and Muyang and Fu in another opposite each other

"My love, are you okay?" Muyang asked with a worried expression

"Can you just spare us the love drama and think about how we're gonna get out of this stinking prison," Juan said angrily, "and mind you, my princess is never gonna marry you," she added

"Can someone just tell this lady to shut up," said Muyang angrily

"It's okay Juan, and Muyang I'm fine," Ya replied

"We're sure doomed this time, we can't even cast spells in the dungeon, we just have to wait for death to come," Juan said sadly

"Sighs, I've never been scared of death all my life, but now I am," Muyang said

"Coming from the mouth of the person who vowed to protect someone life with his, COWARD!!!" Juan said laughing hysterically

"Just shut it ok, and of course I'll protect the princess life with mine," replied Muyang angrily as Fu rolled his eyes at him

"Can you guys just stop snapping at each other, when you're not husband and wife, it's annoying," Fu replied

The princess couldn't hold her laughter at Fu's speech as she laughed hysterically

"I reject it in the gods name, I'll rather remain a spinster than get married to him," Juan said

"Like I want to get married to you in the first place," Muyang snorted

"It's enough Guys, let's hang in there okay, and enough of you guys drama," said Ya as she hugs Juan

"I wonder what my father is gonna do to us, I just hope he let you guys go," Ya said sadly

"It's ok princess, I'll always stick with you in good times and bad time," replied Juan calmly

"We too, no matter what, we will always be together," said Muyang as Fu also nodded in affirmation

Just as they're about to lay down and sleep, they heard the sound of an intruder as each one of them are ready to strike anyone who wants to harm them, as the shadow got closer to Ya and Juan cell gate, they're damn ready to strike but was soon relieved when they discover that it was Ya's aunt.

They couldn't hold their excitement as they all shouted her name in unicorn, " Aunt Huiying!"

Huiying was fast enough to hush them so as not to alert the guards outside
