Sage Las Herbas: whispering I-I... I have a plan. D-during the vows, w-we slip out the side door.
just then the guards come get us they said it's time
Sage's heart quickens as she takes your hand, her fingers trembling slightly
"O-okay..."
She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself, before stepping forward with you toward the grand hall.
herbs whispers back no one will notice if you go missing except your parents and you don't care about them
She shakes her head vigorously, looking around anxiously
No! My family and friends will worry, and...and I can't just leave them behind! Besides, there will be guards watching the doors, we won't be able to slip past unnoticed.
sage i won't let them take you
I look at you, my eyes filled with determination No one is taking me anywhere. I won't be held captive forever. This is the only way. We have to do this.
the man stands up as the doors open what's this?
The guards usher you forward as the ceremony starts, and Sage whispers to you again.
W-wait, it's time. S-stay close.
Sage's voice trembles slightly as she walks down the aisle, trying to keep her composure.
the night comes as we share a room together
nervously W-we should get some sleep. T-tomorrow's the day we escape.
the bed creaks as she lays down, trying to get comfortable but clearly uncomfortable due to the situation
I lean close. Are you sure? What if something goes wrong?
nods I've thought it through. My brother will be watching from afar, he'll help us. And I know the guards patrolling the halls. We just need to be quick and quiet.
my face is covered up so u can't see it
Sage glances at you quickly, then looks back at the front where the prince and priest stand. She whispers
Y-you won't get caught, right? W-what if something goes wrong?
No need to whisper Sage we are the only ones here
blushing slightly O-oh... Right, forgive me. It's just... I'm a bit nervous.
Sage fiddles with her fingers, her heart racing. Despite being in a predicament, she tries to keep a calm demeanor.
ok I kiss your cheek good luck
blushes
I-I don't need luck. I have y-you.
I give you a reassuring smile and take a deep breath, preparing myself mentally for the ceremony
we will need a distraction
she nods
I can cause a scene while you sneak out. Maybe throw something at the prince or yell loudly enough to draw his attention away from you.
no.. we don't have to do that
confused W-what do you mean? We have no other choice! I-I can't marry him, especially after everything they did to my village...
whispering We won't, I promise. Just... follow my lead and do exactly as I say. We can make it out of here together.
ok she sees I'm not listening as I think
Sage looks at you quizzically, noticing that you seem distracted
Um... Are you okay?
