65-desertion (1/2)

Then the guards took me to a cell.

I was imprisoned in a special wing at the top of the prison. There were no other cells around me, and I was alone in the vastness of the cell.

The guard said...

”This is the wing that holds the most serious criminals in the prison. The cage is so strong that even a rampaging dragon could not break it.

So they say.

They're treating you very well.

Well, that's to be expected when you're accused of stealing the Orb of Light. It's no wonder he's accused of treason, not just against the nation, but against humanity.

But you're busy.

There's nothing in the cell, of course.

Normally there would be a guard, but there was no one around the prison because the prisoners might take the key.

Thanks to this, I couldn't even talk to them.

Since I had nothing to do, I decided to do some muscle training. I was standing on my head with one finger and had completed about a hundred finger push-ups.

I heard a sound in the dark, unpopulated special building.

--Who is it?

The sun should be going down soon.

Could it be the guards bringing in a meal?

--Prison food. I wouldn't expect it to taste good. But at least I'll have some protein to keep me going.

But I don't hear footsteps anymore.

Strange. I thought they were heading this way.

Was it my imagination?

But then I saw a figure standing in front of my cell.

”You're .......

Hey. You work out in prison? It's good for the soul.

As it turns out, it wasn't a guard.

He wasn't supposed to be here.

Standing in front of the prison was Fam.

Dressed in black, she was a small woman who blended in with the darkness, and there was no sign of her. It was as if she was right in front of me, but not there.

”Why are you here?

Because I'm your shadow.

I'm told this prison is heavily guarded.

I wouldn't underestimate you. Don't underestimate me, it's an easy mission for me.

Pham said.

”I've been stalking you every day in anticipation of something like this.

Don't give stalking a big name.

It's just a hobby.

Though I was supposed to arrive undetected, only to be spotted by the guards in front of the special wing.

Isn't that a problem?

Don't worry. He'll be dreaming by now.

They've neutralized him.

That noise might have been the sound of an argument.

So?　You didn't just come to check on me, did you?

Femme gave a small nod.

I'm here to break you out of jail.

”...... Not even close. I'll prove my innocence before I leave here. If you break out now, there's a chance you'll be charged with a crime.

”If it's a crime, it's already a crime. You've already broken into a prison cell.

You can't prove guilt if you haven't been found.

Actually, I don't have time for this. Zeke. After you were captured, a demon invaded King's Landing.
