"How dare you trespass into my palace!" King Filip shoots them a glare as they enter his throne room. "Palace? Looks like a piece of crap castle to me." Doctor An says. Princess Ara giggles as Kila points her sword in the king's direction, "so you're the stupid King that's causing problems in the kingdoms market." She says. King Filip smirks, "yeah, and so what...isn't this my Kingdom? I can do whatever I please here." King Jero grabs Kila hand, "I will take care of that bastard, you guys take care of the remaining guards." He says just as she just notices the guards that began to surround them.
"Oh great, this will be fun." She mutters as they stood back to back while King Jero walked towards King Filip who stood and unsheaths his sword. "You won't be leaving here alive." He says. King Jero grins as his mana ignites, "I could say the same for you." He says. The fight for their lives began, Kila and Princess Ara take down a couple of guards with no problems while doctor An had trouble getting down two. The sound of a sword falling got their attention as King Jero had King Filip backed into a corner, "it's not fair, you had magic on your side." He cries. Kila realizes the guards had all ran away, "that's too bad, I really wanted to fight more." Princess Ara says skipping over to her brother's side. "Don't kill him, he should be tossed into his own dungeon." Kila says. King Filip's face turns beet red, "Please, anything but that." He begs. King Jero looks back at her curiously, "should we see why he doesn't want to go there?" He ask. Kila nods, this King
Filip was definitely hiding something. They had him lead them down to his dungeon where they discovered a large cell of serpants, "oh wow, how you think he got them all down here without getting himself eaten?" Princess Ara asks.
Kila looks around and then up noticing something odd about the ceiling inside the cell. "there seems to be a trap door above, he must lure them and bam there trapped inside this cell." She explains pointing to the well hidden trapped door. "poor things, no wonder they're so pissed off and probably even hungry." Princess
Ara says with a pitiful glance at the serpants. King Jero suddenly smiles evily, "how about we put him in the cell next to them, that might be quite interesting." He says. Kila rolls her eyes but he did have a point, if they want this King to suffer a bit he should get the worst punishment that would keep him alive.
King Filip who was being dragged by King Jero wildly shakes his head as he's being dragged to a cell near the serpants, "no, please not this." He says as he's being tossed inside. King Filip rushes to the cell door just as the door is slammed shut, the serpants started going crazy, "let me out, I'm sorry. I can help the people just give me another chance!" He screams tears soaking his cheeks. One of the
Serpants tried attacking him causing him to run to the other side. He sinks to the floor and curls into a ball. "No, please, please don't leave me here."
The four of them turn their back on him, "there's no way we'd forgive you for hurting those poor citizens." Princess Ara says. "Hm? Hey there's someone over in that cell." Doctor An points to a cell on the other side of the serpants. King Jero walks over to the cell and peers into it, "Ah, he's right. Hey you!" He yells. The body twitches as it sits up and looks in their direction, it was a dirty old man, "who are you people?" He asks. "Don't worry about that, the King locked you up for a reason?" The man walks over to the door, "I'm the original King of this castle, my brother couldn't stand it so I've been locked in here for three years." He says.
"Three? Let him out." Kila says. Doctor An shakes his head, "how do you know he's not lying?" He asks as King Jero uses the keyes to do so anyways. "Just a hunch." She answers. "The people need a king, even if he isn't one he's the only one." Princess Ara points out. "Agreed, let's get out of here, I'm sure the citizens would love this good news." Kila says as they made their way back up to the throne room. "I feel like we're forgetting something really important." Doctor An says as Kila pushed open the door. The minute they do, there were dead bodies everywhere and the Serpant was still close.
She immediately closes the door, "right, we need to get rid of that beast." She says. "Um, why not use the trap door." The old man says. King Jero nods, "He's right, but we need someone to lead it to where the trap door is." He mutters. They all turned to Doctor An, "wait, there's no way I'm doing that!" He yells with denial. "But Doctor An, your cowardice makes you a great runner." Princess Ara says with a bright smile. "Did you just insult and compliment me at the same time? Also I'm not a coward just smart." He says. "If you do this I'll teach you a few medical skills of my own." Kila says.
He groans and with that opens the door once more, "this is insane, I'm going to totally die from this." He says. King Jero slaps his back, "perhaps, but think of it as a great sacrifice for the team." He says. Doctor An scowls but continues walking forward, "here serpy, serpy, serpy." He calls using baby talk. "You think he'll be okay?" Princess Ara asks. Both Kila and King Jero glance at each other, "nope, not a chance." They said at the same time. "I'll push the button, you two tell me when he leads the serpant to the trap." Kila says as the old man leads her to the button which happens to be on the arm of the throne chair.
A while goes by, "Kila, press it now,!" she presses it as fast as possible. there was the sound of creaking coming from outside, which was probably the trapped door. She presses it again to close it, after a minute Doctor An came back flushed from the run, "I'm never doing that again." He huffs bent over from exhaustion, Princess Ara hugs him tightly, "you did great." She says causing him to blush. "I agree, I'll keep my promise from earlier." Kila says as they leave the castle. Kila looks back, "old man, are you really going to be okay, there aren't any more guards left." She says. He nods, "I'll be fine, thank you guys, you're welcomed back here any time." He waves before the door is closed behind them.
"Well that was eventful." King Jero says.
