The Emperor's Prisoner

XII

As I expected, a while later I could hear a loud noise ahead. Just a moment later it disappeared, quietly returning. Signs they're in jail. Zen was still sleeping, immediately I started to awaken him subtly.

“ Zen, wakeup”, I whispered. Slowly he squirmed, interrupted his sleep.

“ sir, ?”

“ wake up, soon we will come out” right after I hear footsteps getting closer. There were 3 people dressed in black winnowing my cell.

“ noble, “ cover his face in open, lucien is trying to open my cell lock and there is another one in Zenia's cell.

 

After succeeding I immediately went out to Zen.

“ are you okay?” my many. Zen looked at his legs that seemed to be injured. Makes it difficult to walk. I carefully pulled it out.

“ noble, we only have an hour before they realize it” I know they must use anesthetic powder, the length of work can only reach one hour.

“ wait, mother how?” Zen did not continue his steps. She definitely did not want to leave her mother alone here. I moved Zen's body to Lucien.

“ you guys go first, I will save Zoya” answering their confused gazes with my actions.

“ but your honor,,,” Lucien intends to prevent me.

“ don't worry, where did you leave the vehicle?”

“ at the back gate, we will wait until the noble one comes” without hearing my answer, they have already taken Zen away. This Lucien base, although I know within an hour it is very difficult to save the inner prisoners.

“ I have to hurry” I'm not worried about what happens later. Even though I walk with pain I don't care. Only by saving Zoya will Zen regain his composure. Though I myself am not sure where Zoya is. You can only bet with intuition.

 

The more it enters, the more the illumination disappears. Finally I took a torch as my source of illumination. The distance between the inside and the outside is quite far. Got to go through some hallways. Fortunately, I have been here a few times. So it is not until the wrong road when tracing the underground passageway.

 

After a while, I could see a row of cells. Approaching each cell one by one. Some unpleasant sights continue to be plastered. Some cells contained dead prisoners. Either commit suicide or die from being fed to the crazy rats.

“ Zoya,,” I dare to call out loud. There are no guards in this section. Who is at home guarding a cell full of carrion. Indeed, this prison is designed to have several layers of guard only on the front. Because there's only one way to get out of here.

 

On the way I found a piece of iron, picked it up and hit it on the iron door by calling Zoya. It was possible that he was in an unconscious state, the sound of the iron clink could at least restore consciousness.

 

Huek, huk huk

Wait for the fishy aroma can not be avoided the more the aroma entered the stronger. It keeps me vomiting and coughing. The deeper the rats are, the more aggressive the torch light I'm holding. Beberapakali tried to bite me. So troublesome.

“ Zoya “ no word, it looks like she's not here.

Tang,,tang, go,,

Just turning around, there was a sound of iron not far from there. I immediately approached the origin of the sound that sounded from inside there.

“Zoya “ close torch to see the condition of each cell.

 

Finally able to find out, it seemed like they were torturing Zoya heavily. No kidding. His body condition is quite good when compared to his fellow prisoners in this area. Banging iron to destroy cell door padlock. After I succeeded, I went straight inside. Zoya was already beside the door so I immediately swept her out. Consciousness diminished. Some blood spots were clearly imprinted on his clothes.

 

This unbalanced footstep by carrying the same load begins to inhibit speed. Even several times Zoya's legs were forced to be dragged due to her consciousness that was disappearing.

“ don't close your eyes, fight for Zen” I keep trying to recover his consciousness. Now in the transition lane. The light here is a little visible. Finally the torch in my grasp threw out and poked Zoya on the back. He really had no energy, half the way his legs could not step. I slightly dragged his body so that it could continue moving.

 

Hap..

Now his body has gone up, with the remnants of the energy I have hoping to take him out of here.

“ you, drop me” Zoya's mutter. I just kept walking regardless of what he said. He is still arrogant.

“ I don't want to owe a debt of gratitude to the descendants of Parveen, the demoness. “.

“ just save your energy make it later, and take it easy. I'm not the woman you mean, my breathing's getting crowded. From now on I will not serve his chatter.

“ ma, you mean?” I felt Zoya's body move a little away. Trying to get down. Makes me stop for a moment to advise him.

“ could you not trouble me, were it not for Zen where I would have saved you” there was no more disdain in me, even though she should have been my mother-in-law.

Fortunately he knew himself, after that he just kept quiet. Not to interrupt the trip afterwards. Soon the first exit will be visible. The guard was still unconscious. Still safe. There are 3 other entrances. I don't know if they have the same situation or not.

“ looks like your shoulder bone shifted” after a long period of silence, he turned out to check on my condition. With the condition of the body full of blood and limping steps like this clearly attracted his attention.

“ I know” repeatedly justifies the position of his body that slumped further to make my body wound open. It was fortunate that his weight was not at the maximum limit that I could carry.

“ get off, I'll check guard” put it on one of the walls to hide his body. The second door looks very quiet. The guard also seemed silent. Safe.

 

“ go up” I said when I checked the situation.

“ no need I've had a little better” zoya refused my help.

“ you saved me alone?” he continued as we walked slowly towards the next guarding door.

“ some other people I told keep Zen, he's more important” I replied briefly.

 

As I was going through the third door, I heard a voice. The guards began to wake up. My time is running low. No, I should be able to get out.

“ hide I will fight them” there are about 5 people. For me it includes a small amount. With conditions like this I think I can still deal with it. The anesthetic effect must have weakened their energy a little.

 

Brother, duk, brakkk...

The five of them fell. I took their guns. Zoya comes out of hiding.

“ this, to protect myself” a sword I threw at him. I also brought a sword to fight at the main exit. They must have realized it.

 

“ try you guys check every sel” sounds vaguely the voice of the guards. Zoya and I searched for hiding. Their footsteps seemed to be heading in our direction.
