High in the sky, watching the scene down below, a man with black horns on his head, black and red dragon wings on his back, and a black scaled dragon's tail coming out of the spot just above his butt watched as Yue was taken away by the knights. Next to him was another man who looked to be someone of the bird race than the dragon race. "My lord, do you see something?"
The one referred to as lord had long black hair and a chiseled jaw. He was a man many women would die to have as their mate. He took one last look at Yue as she was taken away and shook his head. "Just an interesting pup. Come, let's go. We need to get to the Serene Forest before nightfall. Those damn dark elves always complain when I am late."
The bird man was a bit confused and looked down at the humans taking away a wolf girl. He wondered why his lord found her interesting. From what he could see, there did not seem to be anything special about her. "Then by your lead, Lord."
As the two men in the sky took their leave, Albert, who was leading Yue away, was not in the best of moods. "Miss Noret, did you need to kill him?"
"He was the cause of those girls' deaths, and I keep my promises. I promised I would get rid of the ones who harmed them, and I fulfilled my promise. I have no regrets." Yue gave Albert a soft smile. She did not know what was to come, but she would accept it all. She did kill a noble in cold blood. No matter how bad he was, he was still a noble with many connections. She just hoped her actions today would not cause harm to her mother and father. She also hoped Momo wouldn't break down either. "Sir Albert, I must ask you one favor if I may."
Albert turned to look at Yue with a questioning gaze and asked: "And that favor is? As long as it does not go against the law, I can try to fulfill it."
"Can you explain everything to my maid, Momo? She is a kind soul, and I do not wish her to hear about me being arrested from word of mouth. You know how facts can get distorted." Yue only wanted this one favor. If someone were to spin a tale of her being some kind of evil person and Momo heard that version instead of what really happened, then she was sure Momo wouldn't handle it well. "Now that I think about it, Sir Albert, if you are not married, Momo is of age and is very pretty. You should see her with her clothes off. She is a stunner."
"Cough!" Albert almost choked on air hearing Yue's words, his cheeks turning red. 'Was she actually trying to hook her maid up with a marriage partner before she went to jail!?' He really wondered just how Yue's brain worked. She cared more for those around her than herself. "Ahem… I will pass your message along, this I promise."
"Tch… No, go, huh?" Yue chuckled as she continued to walk.
Princess Venessa was silent the entire way. She couldn't understand why Yue was so carefree. She joked about this and that and acted as if she was not going to jail at all. But the truth was right in front of her as they stood at the entrance of the dungeon. "Princess, It is best if you do not go down. This place is not the nicest of places..." A guard at the dungeon entrance warned.
"If Yue is being brought down there, then I will go take a look for myself." Princess Venessa wanted to know just what Yue was about to endure.
Yue took her first step down the long dark staircase led by Albert. Her nose wrinkled as the first smell of the musty, moldy dungeon filled her nose. She could also smell urine and feces as well. She did her best to ignore the stench knowing before long she would get used to it. There was no telling how long it would be before she was able to have her hearing, and then she may just end up back down here after being sentenced.
After walking down the poorly lit dungeon hall, Albert brought her to a cell with metal bars. There was no privacy at all within this cell. Anyone on the outside could easily see what was going on inside. "As far as I know, this is the cleanest cell, and no one else is in it. I will try to talk to the guards to give you a partition of some kind for some privacy."
"No, it's fine. I do not need any noble guards walking in and having any accidents happen to my purity while I am here." Yue snorted. If a guard entered her cell for any reason, she would set their ass on fire.
Albert scratched his head, trying to understand why Yue had no faith in people but when he thought about the dean he pretty much understood. "Alright then I will go get one myself and deliver it myself, how's that?"
Yue looked at Albert for a second before nodding her head. Albert finally let out a sigh of relief. He wanted to do what he could for the girl but she was a person filled with pride. He unlocked the cell door, opened it up, and led Yue inside. Princess venessa followed in behind them. Her eyes watered up seeing the conditions of the cell. She looked at Yue who was still as calm as ever as her cuffs were taken off. Biting her bottom lip filled with guilt she walked over to Yue and gave her a hug. In a low voice she whispered: "If things go bad at the trial, use your magic and escape. Only I have realized you are able to use magic now..."
"You are a kind person Princess Venessa. I wonder why you were such a bitch before..." Yue chuckled and felt a tinge of warmth from this girl who had changed her tune.
"That was really unnecessary you know!" Princess Venessa complained as she stepped back from Yue. "I will be on your side at the trial. I promise you one thing. No matter what happens I will not allow them to give you a death penalty."
