Just as that Warden said, I wasn't going to get food for a week, Evelyn came to the conclusion that Vladimir spoke with Commander Seth and convinced him to agree with all this but I used Seth's own words against him. I told him that if I work for my one and only meal for the day and know I'm deprived from receiving it then what's the point of working.
Seth was left speechless because he knew that he couldn't make me do work after my logical argument. I'm glad that I got out of work however, a week without food sounds really harsh and cruel, I might die of starvation. Due to refusing to work i'm not allowed outside of my prison cell. Which means that even if Evelyn wants to share her food she can't bring it to me Ari said to himself.
That Vladimir is truly rotten to the core, I didn't even do any worth this punishment but he treats it like I did. I'm really hungry right now . After falling deep into his thoughts Ari hear a knocking on his prison cell.
Art then raised his head to see princess Tanya .
Princess Tanya, what are you doing down here ? Asked Ari. Here you go, take this, you must be starving said Tanya as she handed Ari food through his prison cell. Thank you so much princess, but why do this for me? Asked Ari.
I overheard some of the Wardens talking about what Vladimir ordered them to do, like not giving you food. Listen, I'm really sorry for what Vladimir did to you earlier as well , he's never acted like this before and I've known him my whole life but believe me that he takes my well-being into account and he genuinely cares for me.
By the way, you're not hurt are you? The punch Vladimir gave you was really dangerous. No, I'm fine I was just starving that's all said Ari as he stuffed his face with the food. By the way, I didn't got your name, I would like to be acquainted said Tanya.
Ari began choking on the food due to fast consumption. Oh no, here's some water drink up said Tanya as she handed Ari . Ari quickly snatched the water from the princess and drinks it. You need to slowdown, you're eating way too fast. Thanks , I thought I was a goner. You can call me Ari.
That's a strange name for an ant, tell me or you from the east colonies? Asked Tanya. Well actually, I'm not from this world and I don't belong to a colony. What do you mean by you're not from this world? Asked Tanya confused. Well to be frank I was a human before this but I was hit by a truck that kill me then I suddenly woke up in this word as an ant.
What's a human and a truck? Asked Tanya curiously. Those words are new to me. I guess humans don't exist in this world after all Ari said to himself. I have to go now, it's almost time for Vladimir to watch over me, I sort of snuck down here to bring you food and want to cause you anymore trouble for you, I'll come by tomorrow though, see you Ari said Tanya as she smiled and left.
Unlike Seth, Anastasia, Vladimir and the Queen, the princess is really kind. A few hours had passed and Ari was awoken by footsteps outside his prison cell. I wonder who's out there he said to himself. I hope that all the preparations are in place Vladimir, we are loosing our patience said an ant in an angered tone. Yes everything will go as planned as long screw up and forget your end of the bargain said Vladimir.
What the hell is he talking about, and who is he talking to? Ari asked himself as he noticed a crack in the wall and decided to peep and eavesdrop on the conversation. Yeah, yeah you will not only get to become a part of the colony but also receive a high rank in our colony's army as well as all the supply of food and water you can think of said an ant covered with a hood made with leaves . I like the sound of that.
I had given you confidential information on our colony's resources, army, storage locations and even our escape routes so I'm going all in on my end, however if i ever once get the feeling that you're screwing me over, I'll have the head of everyone in your colony said Vladimir with a cold face. You can rest assured that we won't betray you, you have my word said the ant in leaves.
We will commence the invasion and conquer this colony in three days time be sure not to arouse suspicion try to act like you usually do. Also find a way to throw of the soldier ants' patrol so that we can catch them by surprise with not only our numbers but our strategy. That I can do, I'll ensure that our security is weakened by that time said Vladimir.
Good, I'll see you in three days said the ant in a hood made of leaves as he left. As Vladimir was about to leave he looked directly at the crack in the prison wall and Ari made eye contact with him cause him to stagger backwards and fall.
Did he see me? No, that's not possible the crack was too small. I can't believe what I just heard and witnessed , Vladimir betrayed the colony for a few scraps and a high rank in another colony's army that bastard. If he was so concerned about Tanya then why would he betray his own queen and The Princess' trust.
I have to tell the princess about this so that she can tell the queen before it's too late. I sure hopes that she comes tomorrow like she said Ari thinks to himself.
