Chapter 248 - Preparations Before the Escape (1) (2/2)
”Martha has been very good to me in these two years.” I said to him.
I have been a prisoner here in the palace of Jennovia for two years now. I may not be imprisoned inside a cell and I am able to go out of the palace from time to time, but all of my actions are being monitored here. I cannot see the people I love and cannot contact them. I am the kind of prisoner that is free to move around but doesn't have the freedom to do what I want. I am a prisoner inside a golden cage if I might say.
”At least, we can escape this suffocating place.” Jack said with a lively voice. ”By the way, I heard what happened this morning. Are you alright, princess? Is that why this guy beside me has this dark aura emitting from all over his body all afternoon?”
I looked at William who was just standing there with his arms crossed. Jack was correct to say that William has been in a bad mood since the incident this morning. I just sighed seeing him like that.
”Don't worry about me, I am alright.” I replied. ”What happened earlier was a shock but it was lucky of me to be prepared.”
I took out the crystal I have used and showed it to Jack. It was now glowing red and yellow alternately.
”This crystal, it is a magic stone right?” Jack looked at it curiously. I nodded in reply.
”This was given to me by a fortune teller back in Alvannia, her name was Anna. She was also a surviving Atlantian. She had given me this after reading my fortune.” I said.
”This thing is glowing because of some reason right?” Jack asked.
”Yes.” I smiled at him. ”Because the two of you are the ones I saw while seeing my future. You are like my protectors.”
Remembering the future that I saw, it made me nervous once more. As best as I could, I want to change it. But looking and William in front of me, I am sure I can change it.
”Hehe, I am happy to know that I am one of your knights in shining armor.” Jack grinned like a boy.
”I would like to talk about your father more about this. But first we need to talk about our escape plan tonight.” I said. ”Jack, the duke said you are in charge of stealing the pendant, correct?”
”Yep. Leave it to me.” Jack said bumping his fist on his chest confidently. ”I am the best thief there ever in this continent.” He said proudly.
”Is that something to be proud of?” I giggled. ”But please be careful. The path leading to the pendant is filled with magic traps.” I looked at him worriedly.
Jack might be the best thief there is. But what he was stealing is not something ordinary. It was well guarded and filled with magic traps along the way.
”Do not worry about me princess. I will surely be fine.” Jack reassured me. I smiled knowing that Jack's capabilities can help him in his mission.
I then looked at William who was still in a bad mood. I am sure he was also mad at me.
