Princess In Another World: New Story
9
Day 5.
In the horse carriage.
“Iona, what's wrong? You look jumpy? Is something bothering you?”
“T-no, sorry to make you worry sister Risa.”
“Prince Lucy, do you know what happened to Iona? (Whispers)”
“Eh? If I have to answer it, I myself do not know.”
“She's been looking uneasy since we left Almos kingdom, I'm afraid she's been having something bad before this trip started.”
“That's impossible, after all he's always been protected by his loyal soldiers. There's no way something bad will happen to her, I can guarantee it.”
“So, yes... Even so, I still feel anxious with him.”
“Princess Risa, relax. Maybe he is just nervous, a big meeting will be held in 2 days, so maybe it's natural for him if he is nervous or anxious.”
“You're right, maybe that's the reason.”
“So, you don't have to worry about it anymore. I'm sure later Iona's daughter can handle it, after all she's not a weak princess.”
That semetara.
“D-where am I?” I woke up from my sleep. ‘Ahh, true too. I was tortured to unconsciousness.’ I woke up in a prison. “It looks like they surrendered to me, and again this is imprisoned underground, yes.” The place was so closed, and there was not even another light I could see other than the light of the lamp.
“A-aww...” My whole body is covered with wounds from the torment they have done to me over the past few days. “Haa, I should have chosen an even better option so that a situation like this does not happen.” Because of my carelessness, everything turned out like this.
“You, what was your mistake until you got thrown in this prison?” (??)
Without me realizing there was someone who was also in a sell with me. “I'm just an ordinary person who doesn't know anything.” I can't see him because he's in the dark part of this place.
“Haha, that's very funny. Where there are ordinary people thrown in this prison, and again it looks like you were tortured. Are you a spy for another kingdom?”
“Eyes, yes. I'm just here to check on something, but because of my carelessness I'm in position now.”
“You've said it before.”
“So, yes. You heard it.”
“If you may know, what is your name? If you can, your real name.”
“Ari.”
“Ari, yes.”
“My name is Ritose.”
“Girl?”
“Girl, yes. It's been a long time since I've been called that.”
“Then, what's your fault?”
“Try to kill king.”
“Killing king? You're very brave, usually whoever does that will be put to death. Being imprisoned like this alone is already a miracle.”
“Miracle, yes. Looks like you have a point, it's a miracle I've been able to live until now.”
“After this, what will you do?”
“What will I do? What can I do in this narrow underground prison?”
“If you could get out of this prison, what would you do?”
“Exit from this prison? Hahaha, you just arrived and have made me laugh.”
“What's wrong?”
“This place is a hidden place, as you know. This place is underground and also this place is guarded by a lot of guards, the opportunity to get out of this place. I can confidently say, there is no way to get out, 0% chance to escape from this prison. Although you can, if you get caught again you will be put in jail again and the guard will be tightened again.”
“So, yes. So it can be concluded, there is only 1 attempt to get out of this prison. If it fails, then the opportunity will be forfeited.”
“Hey, do you understand what I'm saying.”
“Iya, that's enough I understand.”
“Either do you really understand or not, but... You are injured quite a lot, does it not hurt?”
“Of course this hurts, but there is something more important than having to care about this pain.”
“You're strong, yes.”
“I accept that as a compliment. Haa, okay. Time to make plans.”
“Plan? You seriously want to escape from this place?”
“Yes, at least until the time comes. Before his time, setting up a good plan is an important thing to do.”
“You are not an ordinary person, seeing from the way you respond to all this calmly. Are you an important person in the kingdom?”
“Important? No one has ever judged me like that, if I can be honest I am just an ordinary child who has advantages, that's it.”
“You're weird, but if there's anything I can help just say.”
“Thanks for the offer.” Until now I have had to keep everything hidden, including from him. Somehow I was so worried that he was the one that the prince had sent to disguise himself and dig up information from me. That's all I can deduce why I was put in a place like this with someone.
At night, at Iona's.
An inn in a small village.
“Daughter, are you okay?”
“I'm fine, where's sister Risa?”
“She is outside looking for an atmosphere that can make her calm.”
“So, yes. Oh yeah, prince Lucy, is there a problem? Why are you here?”
“What I'm having trouble with is you now, you've been looking restless since yesterday. I think you're nervous because soon the meeting will start, but after I see it seems wrong. Is there anything that makes you like this?”
“A-I'm fine, really.”
“(smile) Your words are the same as Ari used to say.”
“You're worried about him?”
“I'm afraid something bad happened to her.”
“Calm down, when the meeting starts he will definitely come following and help our meeting.”
“But, what if he doesn't come?”
“Try to think positively, maybe he is currently doing what he wants to do in the Victorian kingdom. Until his work is done he may be having fun there.”
“Happy, yes. But, what if he doesn't come?”
“When something like that happens, I'll take care of it.”
Day 6.
“AAAAGGGHHH!!”
“You still don't want to say anything, yes.”
“Young master, what should I do after this?”
“He will definitely open his mouth, sooner or later. Humans have a limit to the pain they can feel, we just need to break that limit and he will definitely open his mouth.”
“Ha, ha.. You are very sure, such a thing will happen. Whatever happens, you won't be able to do it.”
Sfx: lash.
“Aggghhh!!”
“Continue checking him.”
“Good young master.”
Sfxx : lash.
“Agghhhh!!” Back, today I got the same torment as before.
Afternoon.
“Hey, are you awake?”
Hearing the sound, I slowly started to open my eyes. “Ritose, yes. Means I'm locked up again.”
“Your screams are heard all the way here, lo. Why don't you just tell me what you know so you don't feel that pain?”
“Haa, nothing I know.”
“But why did the prince come to you here. It's unprecedented, I'm so doubtful of your identity as an ordinary person.”
“Once, yes.” I slowly started to get up.
“What are you going to do, your body is no longer able to stand up, you know.”
“Ya, but I've got the plan.”
“You're still bragging about it.”
“Calm down, all the plans are in my head. I've remembered all the places and where this place is.”
“Eh? You seriously know that?”
“Yes, this place is near the beach. I don't know where it is, but what I can estimate now, this place is quite far from the royal area.”
“B-how do you know it?”
“I saw everything I could see before I was taken to the torture chamber. The sand that went into that small crack in the prison, it was very unreasonable. But, if it is near the beach it is not unreasonable.”
“But, it could have been anything else.”
“Yes, but I also got some other pointers. Ocean aroma.”
“Ocean scent?”
“I used to live near the beach, so I know it smells.”
“Once, then how do you plan to get out of here?”
“The security in this place is quite tight, with the best plan I made though it will be very difficult to do it.”
“Then, why did you make a plan that had no guarantee like that?”
“Tomorrow, the guard here will weaken.”
“You, how can you be so sure?”
“I have a guarantee, a guarantee that I have written on a paper.”
Day 7.
Afternoon.
The meeting is over.
“Lucy, I was very worried until now he still has not come.”
“Daughter, prepare an army, we will attack the kingdom of Victoria as soon as.”
“Attacking, do-not Ari..”
“Iona, prince Lucy, what are you talking about. We should get ready for the party tonight.”
“Kak Risa, I have to go.”
“T-wait, go? Where?”
Moments later, the squad leaders showed up. “Everything, prepare to attack.” (Lion)
“Eh, t-wait. Attacking, what is really going on here?” (Risa)
“Destination, Victoria.”
