From the word she said now I am certain that she already in Danger but what suprise me is that she's so cam about it.
Can you believe It. here I am having panicked attack since I confirm that our lives in is Danger.
she was looking at me with such serious eyes, which means she is not joking about what she said.
" I know my half-brother want's me to dead since I somehow survived from demons. I think will try to kill right here now and after he killd he will come for your Life after all he doesn't want have any vitnes going around spreding word. that's why I called our life's in Danger."
W-wow I don't know what to say , she was thinking like that all this time. Right now she doesn't look like weak girl crying in prison .
She's like have air of confidence . After All she is Princess.
"However, I don't know how he plans to kill me. I don't know who will do it, I just know it will happen soon."
She didn't know how she was going to be attacked and Sara didn't know who to trust in this chaotic situation just after the end of a war.
"And the people I turst aren't here. I think it was intentional No I am it's intentional."
When Sara was rescued, she realized that none of her own were around. Then something flashed through my mind like lightning.
"Hoh, so that's why you told the people to leave…."
"Well, yes."
Sara was a lot more cautious than I was.
She didn't know who to trust, or when she'd be killed. How could one know if they hadn't poisoned the food?
"Hey, the food might get poisoned…."
At my words, She laughed like she heard some type of joke.
"If they poisoned the food, I'd just eat it and die then, in this situation."
She Doesn't Care.
She was so hungry she didn't care anymore.
I couldn't imagine just how hungry the princess was, but it seemed like she was so starved that she'd rather die than not eat the food in front of her. She was so hungry that she'd even eat poisoned food.
"We'll back to the topic I know that all soldiers are guard year will try to kill me that's for sure I know."
"Is... that so?"
" yes Wh, tried to live the tent they tried to Stop me from going outside they must think I might runway from here they were very cautious."
Her voice was getting lower and lower.
"It's not known yet that I was rescued. They didn't want to announce this either."
Is that so?
Even when she got rescued, she came out wrapped in something like a thick coat.
"They're just waiting for orders From above That's why they don't want it to be known that I'm alive. They came with lies that 'when they reach prison I was already dead'. that's what they are aiming for a while."
They would make it out that she died in the Demon King's Castle, but would keep quiet about her getting rescued, so there they could say that they retrieved the corpse from inside the Demon King's Castle.
In the end, I was in a position in which I had no other choice but to try my hardest to keep Charlotte safe.
"Listen. We'll leave the barracks now."
She was in even greater danger after getting rescued, so she was planning to escape from this non-surveillance.
"Are we even able to run away?"
But with so many soldiers patrolling the grounds, was it even possible to escape properly?
"Of course, we can't run away, but that's not the point."
Sara laughed.
"I want as many people as possible to know that I'm alive."
Her purpose wasn't to run away but to inform the ordinary soldiers of her survival.
No.
But.
I was older.
So why did she seem so much smarter than me?
Sara rose from her seat, while I felt a strange sense of defeat.
The meal was over.
It's Time For Escape.
* * *
Escaping from it was simple.
I slightly cut the tent in the back with a knife provided for the meal and checked their movements outside.
After cutting a hole in the tent, we crawled outside. We came out from the back and not its entrance so only a few troops were walking around. It was quiet, which was understandable, as most of them were gathered in the Demon King's Castle after all there was many treasure at the castle.
However, we couldn't walk around for long. They'd soon find out we were gone. Sara knew that as well.
"Okay, we'll be caught soon."
One might wonder why she came out when she knew that she'd be caught soon, however, Sara's purpose was to reveal her survival to everyone so it didn't matter.
This could keep her alive for a bit until she found an alternative method.
That was Sara's purpose.
"You go ahead."
"Yes."
Sara's eyes lit up a little as she looked at me.
"You have to come back as soon as possible."
At that moment, I was able to catch a glimpse of Sara's fear of having to face death again.
Yes.
You must live, no matter what.
I left Sara behind and started running through the grounds.
Find Sir Isaac and make sure to come back together with him.'
'I need you to find him and make him my escort.'
Just before we left the tent, Sara told me as such.
Sir Isaac.
She said she didn't know who'd be her enemies and who'd be her allies.
However, she said that there was only one person who could never be her enemy.
The knight who rescued us, Isaac.
If he had been Andras' minion he would've killed us right on the spot but saved us himself. so he is not an enemy.
Originally, in the novel, Sara would eventually get killed even though she was aware of the danger to her life. Sara couldn't do anything on her own to survive even with her wits. Which meant…
My success or failure determined Sara's life or death.
Sara couldn't find Isaac on her own. Perhaps she gave orders to bring him to her, but those orders wouldn't have been carried out.
In the end, I had to find him myself and bring him to Sara's side.
The soldiers coming and going from the vast barracks only titled their heads when they saw me running around, but none came directly towards me.
I approach one of these soldiers.
"Do you know where can I find sir Isaac?"
he looked at me and nodded his head.
"what do you have business with him?"
"I have urgent order from HQ which I have to deliver to him."
"when he is not here so you can tell me what order HQ give to sir Isaac."
"no I can't I have to personally tell him which order I have given this can you tell me where he is?"
"I don't know Sir Isaac very well, but I'm pretty sure he's searching through the castle. I heard that most of the knights were sent there."
Damn it.
After rescuing us, it seemed like he had focused on his original mission, searching the castle, again.
No.
No, wait a second.
Andras'minions would kill anyone who knew that Charlotte was alive.
I wasn't the only one whose life depended on Charlotte's survival.
"We must go find Sir Isaac! His life is in danger!"
"Wha, what?!"
I had no choice but to urgently shout to this unknown officer.
