While they were waiting, suddenly Hans felt pain in his chest.
" what's going on? this is not supposed to happen today? damn it, out of all times, why has to be now? I must wrap up things quickly before something happen."
Rose noticed Hans's pain
- Hey, what's wrong...
- Shut, they are watching us.
Hans tried to hide his pain as much as he could.
Finally, the door opened and...Marquis Lancelot?
Hans was quite surprised to see him, he didn't expect that his father's friend will be behind all of this.
" Who would guess that the most lovable man in the castle is the head of a dangerous gang. But will he recognize Rose? things getting more complicated here"
- Hello sir, I'm sorry for making you wait. They told me what you did before you, I'm thankful to you for taking control of the situation.
The Marquis kept looking at Rose, he felt like he saw her before. Meanwhile, Rose got rid of the rope and prepared herself to attack.
" He will soon remember me, and Hans's condition is bad. It will be all on me."
Hans tried to distract him from Rose.
- So, Your man said that you can fulfill all my desire.
- Yes, of course, name anything you want, we will be at your service, Sir. You are an important client to us. But first, can you tell me about your identity?
" My condition getting worse, I can't do this now, I have to go immediately"
- Of course, I will, but not today, can we meet another time? I have an important matter to attend to now.... I will come back tomorrow night. Replied Hans while trying to hide his pain and stand up
- Hold on, you didn't tell us about your preferences.
- Tomorrow...Tomorrow I will....Tell you...
Said Hans while throwing a bag full of money.
Consider this ... an advance...now I will take my leave.
Hans grabbed Rose from her hand and headed to the door.
- Wait, I remembered you. You are the female knight that the prince recruit.
" Damn it, it is getting worse than I thought"
- GUARDS! Screamed the Marquise.
Rose pulled out her dagger and jumped on him while putting it on his throat.
- You, scum bag, I will make you pay for your crimes.
A lot of armed men came to the room and surrounded them.
Rose held the Marquise s as a hostage.
"We must go out of her immediately, Hans is collapsing"
- CLEAR THE WAY OUT OR I WILL CUT HIS THROAT.
- Don't you know who I am, young lady, no one will believe you or your friend. I advise you to surrender.
Rose pressed the dagger more on his throat and made him bleed.
- Don't test my patience, I'm a knight as you know, killing you is not a big deal for me, now clear the way before my hand slips more.
- Let them pass. Yelled the Marquise.
They climbed the stairs. Hans was struggling to keep up moving.
" His condition is too bad, we can't make it out the both of us, I must hold them back so he can go and be safe, I hope he will be fine on his own"
Finally, the door opened and Hans went out.
where is Rose?
She closed the door behind him and trapped herself and the rest inside the house.
Hans tried to open the door :
- ROSE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? OPEN THE DOOR.
- GO, I WILL HOLD THEM BACK
- NO, IM NOT LEAVING YOU
- PLEASE, YOU MUST GO. YOU MUST SURVIVE.
