Lover Forced The Ruler

Chapter 96. Escape

The one who came was Annie's returning aunt. He seemed to be carrying nothing in hand like his promise, but instead said things that Lisle thought were absurd.

"I was looking for Bert and didn't meet him. I don't know where he put those two things. Was he here?" As soon as it arrived Annie immediately glanced at the Lisle cup whose contents were almost depleted.

"You've been drinking? Do you want more?" Annie pretended to offer.

Lisle shook her head in response and raised her arm to massage the side of her forehead and complained of dizziness. His eyes looked like a sleepy person.

"Dizziness? Is it because you are too tired? You better rest for a while in the room." Annie approached and sat down next to Lisle. He embraced the pretty girl's shoulder as if sympathetic to her grievances.

"But, Bi, I don't think I can walk. It feels so dizzy and…." Lisle stood up for a while with the help of her aunt before falling back down and drooping on the sofa with a sloping position.

Annie looked at her fallen nephew without the slightest pity. He only paid attention for a moment before shouting out a call, "Josh, quickly call Bert and take care of this girl. I was too tired after that few hours' trip and wanted to rest."

A servant called Josh suddenly appeared in the room like a ghost. He nodded respectfully slightly, assented without a sound and passed immediately.

Not long after Josh was back with Bert and the guy in the jacket. They approached Lisle who was lying limp on the sofa.

"Take this girl to the room. We have to make sure this girl is safe for a big exchange." Bert gave his insertion.

While Annie left that place after a while doubted something. The reaction of the drug is quick. Is it really like that?

They put Lisle in a room at the end. That's when Bert checked the contents of the bag that Lisle was carrying and found a firearm inside.

Bert chuckled as soon as he saw that thing. "My little cousin turned out to have progress. Now he was acquainted with a dangerous object. Apparently he suspected me, but wasn't smart enough to hide it." It was taken and tucked in his waist.

Then they left Lisle sleeping and locked the door and placed a guard outside.  

Waiting for a few jokes, as the footsteps of her captors moved away, Lisle opened her eyes. He inhaled a breath full of lungs and then let it out like he was satisfying himself. He tried hard to make his breath as calm as a sleeping person. His heart was pounding noisily. If someone wants to listen more carefully, it will surely sound his tensed heart beat.

It turned out that Lisle's guess was right. They put something in their drink. Bert and his aunt did not change. They're still two crooks trying to take advantage of it. I don't know why she still trusts those two kids.

Fortunately, her legs were not tied, so Lisle could move around checking around the room and finding that the smallest possibility of escape was through an unlocked window. When Lisle opened the window she found that outside or just under the window was a ravine with a grove of trees growing on the edge.

Lisle leaned against the wall, thinking. Can he go out the window and hang out there? It was too dangerous and frightening. He had indeed been taught in training how to climb, but did not descend from a window into such a bottomless abyss. It feels the same as taking a life.

And out there, there must be someone standing guard. How many of them for sure? One guy? Two guys? It would be nice if only one. Maybe Lisle will have a chance to trick her.

The room was almost empty. There is no small furniture that can be used as a punching tool. There is only one bed.

Lisle walked up tiptoe and listened to the,-voice sounds outside from behind the door. He failed to peek because he could not see anything from the small keyhole in the door.

Outside deserted. But Lisle's ears caught the sound of the occasional step and someone who coughed small.. He really hoped his guess was right. There was only one guard behind the locked door. If there were two or more people, there would occasionally be the sound of conversation between them. But Lisle didn't hear anyone talk out there. So rasamya is not wrong if he thinks that there is only one person standing guard.

Lisle tried to make a noise. He opened the big shutters and slammed them over and over until he thought the glass would break. He's trying to get the guards' attention. Every loud noise from the window that hit the side of the outer wall rang out, Lisle rushed up to the door and waited for the movement out there.

The umpteenth time she did so and began to feel desperate for not getting the expected response, Lispe finally heard the sound of a key child being put into a hole and turned. The door leaf was pushed from the outside slowly. Lisle hid behind the door and saw the man in the jacket stepping in while looking straight at the wide open window.

At one time in training Lisle was once told some deadly points in the human body. One of them is in the nape. If it got the right point, the opponent would be killed instantly. Lisle doesn't really understand. But he thought there was no harm in trying.

With all the strength of a man whose life was being threatened, Lisle struck with her small fist, the nape of the man in the jacket. Lisle didn't expect the man to die. If the person faints for a moment or only the pain and pain can stop his brain thinking for a moment that the prisoner has escaped, that is enough.

But the man in the jacket completely collapsed to the floor. Lisle was in a daze for a while when she saw the person fall down and did not move anymore. He even wanted to check if the man was still breathing before realizing that it was his chance to escape. No matter the man just fainted or died he had to leave immediately.

The hallway turned out to be quite short in the drive up to the back door. Lisle ran without shoes because she did not want to make a sound in the quiet room. As soon as he reached the back door he almost cheered because the door was unlocked.

The sun began to rise into the western sky. But the night's still a few hours away. Lisle is in the back garden and settles among some of the taller plants.

When she thought she was about to reach her freedom, she almost ran over someone while sneaking out of a flowerbed.
