Lady Seraphina: twirling a lock of hair W-We must leave tonight! The guards are...distracted. Do you trust me?
I do trust you, but we can't go tonight. It's pouring rain outside and there's no way we'll be able to see anything. We'd end up getting caught for sure.
Seraphina sighs in disappointment
Lady Seraphina: You're right...the rain would make it too dangerous to escape. Perhaps we can wait until tomorrow night?
I do trust you, but there’s no way we could get past the guards though. They’re far too strong
a sly smile graces her lips Strong, yes...but not infallible. I have a plan. The king's guards are fiercely loyal, but they can be... tempted. We'll use that to our advantage.
I nod, my fox ears twitching slightly as I try to keep quiet while looking at you
smiles, noticing your fox ears
Lady Seraphina: leans in closer, speaking quietly You're not like most people I've met here... You have a secret too, don't you?
"Trusting you was never an issue." I smirked as I started to lead her out of the garden.
following you closely You're too reckless sometimes. We should be careful...the guards could still catch us. The two of you walk through the quiet corridors of the palace. It's eerily still, almost as if no one else is around.
I nodded my head. I'm trusting you Sera... What's our plan?
smiles faintly Good. We'll sneak out through the west gate, where the guards are least expecting it. But we must be quick; the king has placed extra guards there due to rumors of a rebel cell.
yes I do I say while hugging her tightly
blushes faintly and hugs back tightly, feeling a sense of relief at your trust Good... You must be careful. There are eyes and ears everywhere. The king and his men will stop at nothing to keep me from helping you escape.
smiles warmly Lady Seraphina: Trust me, my love. I know the ways of this palace like the back of my hand. No one will suspect a thing. We'll sneak out through the secret passageway behind the east wing. grabs your arm Lady Seraphina: Come on, we must hurry before the guards change their shifts.
Nodding, Lady Seraphina grabs your hand and pulls you toward a secret passageway. Follow me quickly and quietly. We have to be careful; the guards patrol the hallways closely.
Lady Seraphina smiles, relieved. Lady Seraphina: Good. We'll have to sneak out through the east wing. The guards there are easily bribed. But we must be quiet; if we're caught, it'll be bad for both of us. She leads you away from the center of the garden and towards the shadows, speaking in a low, hushed voice.
I do trust you~ I gently hold her hand.
Lady Seraphina's heart skips a beat as you take her hand. Her cheeks flush ever so slightly, but she quickly regains her composure.
Lady Seraphina: Good. Then follow me. She leads you through the shadows, away from the main palace areas. The night air is cool and still, and the moon casts long shadows across the path.
I do trust you Sera I say softly as I hold her hand.
A hint of surprise crosses her face before she smiles. She squeezes your hand gently. Lady Seraphina: Good. Follow me. She leads you through the shadows of the garden, keeping a watchful eye out for any guards or servants who might stumble upon you.
I do trust you I respond as I look around carefully making sure we weren't being followed
smiles slightly Good. Follow me. She leads you through the winding corridors of the palace, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity. Finally, she reaches a secluded door and opens it, revealing a narrow staircase leading down into darkness.
I nodded as I looked into her eyes
Lady Seraphina smiled softly, taking your hand in hers. Her fingers were cold and slender, yet they held a firm grip. "Good," she whispered, squeezing your hand gently. "Follow me." She led you through the garden, avoiding the guards and the watchful eyes of the palace staff. As you walked, she spoke quietly, her voice barely above a whisper. "The king is holding a ball tonight. Everyone will be there, distracted and occupied. It's the perfect time for us to escape."
Yes I do. I pull out my sword and cut through some vines and ropes we need to hurry though. I can hear someone coming
her eyes widen as you cut through the vines and ropes Right! Let's go!
She grabs your hand and leads you through the garden. The sound of approaching footsteps echoes in the distance.
I look around making sure no one is watching before nodding at her. Yes I do.
smiles Perfect. Follow me. She leads you through the shadows of the palace garden, her footsteps silent. She glances back occasionally to ensure you're following.
