Meanwhile it took Phil about thirty minutes of walking at a very fast pace to get to the lions den, (it was made to be a little bit far away from where people were found because it was considered dangerous, even though it had strong walls and was guarded heavily by one of the groups of the most powerful guards) Phil was beginning to have his doubts about this place he was going to but prince Tom had been very precise and specific, Tom was yet to know about his sly, dang iterous and cunning behavior so he didn't think twice, he passed a lot of people and as he got closer to where he thought was the queen's study, the fewer people he saw, he felt invisible because most of the people he saw didn't even notice him, and magically, he wasn't noticed by any of the guards when he got to the entrance, he noticed that there were about 5 doors before getting in, he noticed this because,the first door about 8meters was shorter than the second, and the second was shorter than the third, and so was the fourth shorter than the fifth from the exterior to interior respectively ,and the first one was locked with chains,(only God knows how the animals are fed) he reasoned out that the other 4 were locked with chains to, curiosity got the better of Philip.
Forgetting about his quest of finding the Queen's study and having to see a glimpse of her, left the soup behind, he had lost all sense of reasoning as if he were possessed by an evil spirit and started climbing to get through the window which was about 20meters high above the ground, he was excellent at climbing so even though the wall was smooth he still succeeded to reach the window after having a very hard time, he reached the window and looked down, he noticed that the first to the third door was all made of brass and locked with chains, it didn't make sense that there was no room, just doors till the third door. he leaped high and jumped in passing the three doors close together into a large room, The distance from the window to the floor was a little bit high so he rolled on the floor when he fell and made a lot of noise, he even sprang his leg and woke the dogs, he hadn't noticed them when he looked into this place just before jumping down, they had been sleeping in a dark corner of the room, the dogs were kept there to scare anything away and stop them from going any further, even though the security outside was tight and the doors were locked firmly, the queen still insisted that the chief guard put the lion at the far end because one could not be too careful and you can never know or tell what happens next. Philip realized the deep shit he was in, the dogs were so huge, they looked like giants, and as he looked around, he discovered that there might be more animals behind the other doors, he started walking backward while trembling like a leaf, there was no way out for him, he realized this and didn't know what else to do "hey there guys" he said sarcastically, while forcing a smile, the dogs continue to snarl and growl while approaching him, "help!!!!!,someone, please help me!!, can anyone hear me?"
The dogs tried to get him but were held by strong chains that were quadrupled, the continued struggling to free themselves for about an hour, and the finally succeeded, Philip was beyond terrified!!, how could dogs be so strong, they had just broken the strongest chains in the world but still looked so energetic, he had been screaming for more than 45 minutes yet it seemed no one heard him, he tried to scream once more but discovered his voice was gone, all he said within him was "so this is how I am going to end? I haven't even worked any money to help pay the debts my father left behind for my mom and also pay for her treatment, thank you prince Tom" and waited for his doom, the dogs were about to pounce on him but he managed get away and they missed him, he was finding it more and more difficult to walk for his leg was broken, once more the dogs came forward and this time they were determined not to miss, and as they were about to pounce on him one last time a sudden very loud and thunderous roar shook the whole building,the lion made such a frightful sound,both phil and the dogs were taken aback for sometime, Phil's heart leapt out of his body in fear for he had never heard such a frightful and powerful sound that was powerful enough to bring down the whole building, but the good thing was that he realized that the lion couldn't get out, Phil and the dogs had still not recovered from the heart attack the just had when a rope suddenly came down from the window Phil was taken aback when he suddenly saw a rope and without thinking, he quickly grabbed it and the guards outside started pulling him out,the dogs were brought back to reality when the noticed that he was escaping, one of them grabbed one of his legs with its mouth, Philip bit his lip in agony and started struggling to free his leg but couldn't, the guards pulling from outside suddenly felt the weight but continued pulling about 30 guards in all, from the inside Phil wasn't going up any more his hands were already slipping off the rope and the pain the dog was inflicting on him made him weak,the rope too was already cutting and for what seemed like hours, they all were in that same position only the rope was moving as all it's strands were weakening and cutting until just the last string was left suddenly, Philip used his other leg to smash the face of the dog, the dog was taken by surprise and he had been hit directly in the eye so he let his guard down, he growled in pain and let go of Phil's leg, Phil finally let go off the rope just as the last string gave up and leaped up with the speed of light, then he grabbed the window, he couldn't explain how he did that but it was such a miracle!!, he used all his strength to climb up and he stood with his fatally wounded legs on the window and was about to look down but suddenly he felt like everything around him was spinning, he felt so giddy, he lost his balance and fell down the guards already noticed this and caught him immediately, the queen was so worried and troubled, she couldn't bring up any explanation for how Philip managed to get in there.
While Tom had just seen another opportunity, some old wise elders had come to see the queen but since she is with Phil, they had to wait, while waiting for the queen, the chief maid assigned some maids to prepare something for the elders, and tom passed near the kitchen when they were almost done, he didn't like the elders because the always rebuked him for whatever he did while praising his younger brother jerry, they even warned him to stop behaving the way he did or he might Lose the throne, Thomas was so furious when he heard this, he wanted to kill them right at that moment!!!, "old bastards!!", he cursed within, I wish I was big enough to kill all of you, how dare you threaten me on what belongs to me, the throne is mine!.
so he had been looking for a way to get back at them for a long time now and this was a perfect opportunity, What are y'all doing here, I didn't call anyone!!!, the chief maid thundered, all the guards and maids had just heard a signal from the chief maid and they were all confused, the started mumbling to themselves as they left the room," this chief maid is so unbelievable, if she didn't summon us then who did?", the maids who were assigned to bring the old men's food, had just covered their food and were about to take it to them when they heard the bell of authority ring, so they just left the food so that when they come back, they'll just serve it to the elders but little did they know that tom had distracted them to do something, he went into the kitchen spent about two minutes there, and when he came out, he was smiling like an idiot, only God knows what he did this time
The elders all ate their food while waiting for the Queen, but after some time they started behaving strangely, they all got up and left the palace, the guards tried to stop them telling them the Queen will soon attend to them, but they didn't listen, they rushed home and stayed in the toilet for a day and a half, no one knows what tom did to their food but the effect was terribly pathetic because it upset the old men's health badly.
