The Butterfly Trap

The Part 50

Disappearing without saying, that is the condition that I am feeling right now, I feel like a prisoner who has no right to return to Capital, the only place I could visit was the Aquamarine Kingdom and I had lost interest in going there after Zurich's departure.

A month had passed but only once news came from Zurich, he asked me to remain patient and he would pick me up soon, I began to fidget, he said, there were many worries that popped into my head and I wondered why Zurich would not allow me to return to Capital with him.

" What is really going on in Capital? did the attacks from the monsters happen again? is she okay?" I muttered while pacing on the veranda of my room.

" I'm tired of it here, Zurich when did it come? Did I just run away from here? but how?"

I bit my thumb nail, then rubbed my face with both hands, I was silent for a long time while closing my eyes.

" Oh, Sora! right, I can ask Sora for help" I said excitedly.

I quickly stepped out of my room to look for the whereabouts of the servant girl but the person I was looking for never found, in the corridor I met a male servant who was carrying a painting.

" Have you seen Sora?" ask him.

He stopped and looked back and faced me again.

" Sora was going to her hometown Miss, she just left" she replied pointing towards the back of the castle.

" Why didn't he tell me?"

" I don't know Miss" either"

" Good, get back to work!"

He bowed then left me, I rushed towards the back of the castle hoping that the girl was still not far away, I descended the stairs with half a run then I sped up my steps towards the back of the castle.

Once there, I saw Sora standing looking out at the sea and I swiftly called out to him.

" Sora, wait!" I screamed while panting.

He turned around and was shocked to see me running towards him, he also ran towards me.

" What happened Miss? why are you so bored?" he asked me while holding my hand because my feet were trembling.

" I....I'm...".

I tried to adjust my breath up and down, I bowed while hinting at Sora to stop, just a moment later I was able to speak properly.

" Where are you going? why didn't you say?"

" I've told the butler and asked Ana to replace me Miss" she replied confusedly.

" Alright, let's forget about it, the important thing now is you, I need your help Sora"

I clasped the hand of the lady and stared as I pleaded with her, she who did not know what had happened was confused by my attitude.

" What can I do for you Miss?"

" Are you in a hurry to get to Aquamarine? take me with you!"

" What? what if the Grand Duke comes when you come with me?"

" He will not come, after that you help me to Capital" I said with enthusiasm.

He looked confused and tried to digest the words I said then hesitantly he whispered.

" Are you leaving here?"

" Yes!"

" Don't Miss, I will be blamed if the Grand Duke returns and also I will not be able to take you to Capital, even though I am Mermaid, he said, the underwater journey is also as terrible as the Miss land route, there are Kraken and Megalodon lurking along the way".

" So there really is no other way but to wait?"

" It seems so Miss" she replied in a low tone.

" Oh, be careful!" I said in a disappointed tone to him and could only take off his departure.

He nodded then saluted me then turned around and jumped into the sea, I could see the enormous tail of the fish as Sora was lost in the water and I lethargicly stepped my feet back into my room.

" Is there no hope?" I said as I threw my body into the bed.

" When will I be here? am I gonna stay here? I have to find a way, but how?"

I looked at the mirror near the bed, the reflection of my tired face was clearly visible there.

" Look at yourself Sisi, you are now like a butterfly trapped in a golden cage, pitifully!" I said to myself in the mirror.

" Even now you still believe he's going to pick you up, it's ridiculous! look at you, you even told her your identity, How stupid are you! how can you believe he won't tell his cousin about your identity, huh?"

I immediately sat down, never having crossed my head that Zurich was going to tell Felix about my identity, negative thoughts began to enter my head which made me even more anxious and worried.

" So right, lest he purposely leave me here as the initial punishment before he beheaded me, how could he believe the head of the son of the man who killed his father?" mummy shudder.

" No, I can't just stand by and wait for my death, I have to go to Capital anyway, there's something I can use".

I opened the drawer next to my bed and took out a small wooden box, there were things that Zeju gave me and also Miranda's items.

" What's the point? why does Zeju ask me to always take her?"

I watched the cloth bag and cradled it for a long time and then placed it on the bed, I suddenly remembered something.

Ps: This thing can open all kinds of doors and barriers.

" That's it, the thing Miranda gave me so I could escape, right!"

I raised the needle-shaped object of the compass up high, for some reason it seemed to give me a light of hope, a blinding light that could blind my eyes, I smiled broadly.

" Who can imprison me, Sicilian Agatha, huh? hahaha" I shouted while laughing loudly.

" But the question is how can I escape without being discovered?"

I threw my body back into the bed, I was able to solve the problem of the castle barrier but how I avoided the eyes of the servants and knights was the thing that still made my head dizzy.

" What's the point of being able to open the barrier if they don't allow me to come out" I muttered in a gloomy voice.

I glanced back at the needle-shaped object of the compass that had been giving off a bright light now looked dull and unattractive.

" Damn!" I said as I threw the thing next to me.

" God, why so gini? what's this thing called a trial in our love story?"

I took a breath and turned my body to face the thing I had thrown.

" What is the test of love? this one's called a prisoner!"

I got up from my bed and went back to ruffling the contents of the small box, hoping that something might give me some enlightenment to leave this castle.

" Oh yeah, what if the people here I give you sleeping pills? so when I leave, they won't know, no, no, it won't work!".

" Hmmm it could work, right? what if we just try it first?"

" Ah no, they must have contacted the Grand Duke when they were conscious and I don't know what Zurich would have done if she knew that I was trying to escape again".

I kept arguing with myself, occasionally I sighed and kept silent for a moment to think again, but no ideas came into my head, my head hurts because I constantly force my brain to think.

" It would be great if Sora would help me escape the undersea passage" I muttered softly then closed my eyes.

" The undersea route...The sora? that's right it is!" I shouted with excitement.
