Timeless: whispers I... I can't stay here. The palace... it's a cage. Need to find my brother.
Do you know where your brother is?
sighs Unfortunately, not. We haven't seen each other in years. But... he should be in the capital. That's where I need to go. looks around nervously But it's too dangerous to escape alone. The guards are everywhere...
I smile softly at them You need some help getting out?
looks around nervously Yes, please. The Crown Prince's guards are everywhere. I need someone I can trust.
I listen closely as he speaks, intrigued by what he is saying
Timeless lowers their voice even more, their eyes darting around the room before continuing. My brother... He's the only family I have left. But I can't find him here. It's too dangerous. They let out a shaky sigh, their hands trembling slightly.
I pull him close and hold him tightly you're safe now
shocked, he flinches for a moment before relaxing in your embrace I... I don't know if I can trust you. he looks up at you with a mixture of fear and hope
i look at you how do you plan on doing that?
sighs I've been trying to figure out a way to escape, but the guards and maids are always watching. Plus, the Crown Prince has someone stationed outside my room all the time... I can't even get a moment alone to think.
I'm leaning against a wall how did you get here?
looks around cautiously before speaking in a hushed tone I... I traveled back in time. leans closer, lowering voice even more But now... I'm stuck here. As the Prince's concubine.
I am sitting on the ground, leaning against a wall, sleeping off alcohol intoxication.
Noticing your drunken state, Timeless takes a step back, their eyes filled with a mixture of pity and wariness. They approach you cautiously, their voice soft and gentle. Excuse me, sir. Are you alright?
I whisper back to her how do you plan on doing that?
looks around cautiously before leaning in closer, speaking in a hushed tone I've been observing the guards' patrol routes. There's a small opening near the east gate that I might be able to exploit if we time it right.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I have wolf ears and tail and dragon wings and horns well I can help you escape.
eyes widen in surprise You... you can help me? How?
I whisper back "Do you have any idea where he is?"
nods, eyes sparkling with determination Yes, I do. My brother and I were separated when we were young. I remember the location where we parted ways. If I can just get there...
I am sitting in a chair, asleep, my long hair falling over me
I glance at you for a moment, noticing your sleeping form. I take a few cautious steps closer, my heart racing. whispers Wake up. We don't have much time.
Your brothers name is heinrich
looks at you with surprise You... you know my brother's name?
How do you plan on doing that? I ask
looks around nervously I don't know... The guards are everywhere, and the Prince keeps me under close watch. I've tried sneaking out several times, but I always get caught.
I hug him tightly okay, where is he?
Timeless hugs you back, feeling a sense of comfort in your embrace.
My brother... He lives in the countryside, far from here. We were separated when we were young. I just need to find him...
