While she fervently searched her pockets for the keys, Zinnia stealthily advanced toward her, and with all her might, she struck Matilda on the side of her head using the broken shackle she held.
She then quickly seized the keys while Matilda groaned in pain, Zinnia then sprinted her way out of the room. Exiting, she recognized the room where Matilda had led her on the day of her capture.
Looking back from her former prison, she was horrified to realize that the door was hidden in plain sight.
She felt overwhelmed, but she immediately snapped back to reality upon hearing Matilda's groans of pain.
Swiftly, she darted out of the room and navigated the halls. As she approached the banquet hall, the guards noticed her, but they were too stunned to comprehend the situation. Shouts to halt her echoed, yet she kept running until she was obstructed by the knights guarding the door leading to the coronation party.
