He steps back from the doors and turn his head in the direction of the dungeon, eyeing each Venti Kingsman that are passing through. His eyes glide to the Shadow, who has concealed himself in the castle’s high ceilings.
He knew it was only a matter of time before he was discovered. He needed a new plan and quickly. He soon notices a wash maiden carrying clothing in a woven basket.
The maiden yawns. Tired and exhausted from working a double shift in the hot sun. She blinks-due to her sleepy eyes, and accidentally bumps the end of a tiny table, dropping clean, dry clothing onto the floor.
“Let me help you,” Earl Michal says, standing above her.
“My Lord…,” she voice in a startled tone, stun someone of his nobility is even speaking to her. …show more content…
“You know, I don’t see the need for all this,” he comments. “With the stone, I have enough power and strength to maintain my form.”
“It’s too dangerous,” she insists. “I didn’t expect this many Ventis to be in the castle.”
He raises the stone to her face and declares. “With this stone, I have enough power to take down everyone in the castle; allowing us to fly out the front doors.”
She wraps her hands around his and states in a serious tone. “If you do, they will kill you.”
His eyes widen, as she explains.

Offended, Kathryn crinkles her nose, replying in a bold tone. “And that’ll be the first thing I remedy when I am Queen.” She turns, moving gracefully in the direction from which she came. The two watch her vanished into the grand-hall.
“What an impudent child,” Michal mutters underneath his breath, turning to the Shadow.
The Shadow nodded, returning his focus back to the window. He swings it open, as the Earl continues his watch, and steps onto the window’s frame. He braces himself with one hand while holding the other out to the Earl.
“Quick, change and take my hand.”
“I can’t,” Michal replies, noting the Kingsman that are patrolling the grounds below.
“Do not worry about them,” he argues, “just take my hand.”
“There’s an opening in the servant’s quarters,” Michal mentions. “I’ll escape through there.”
“Lily…”
“There’s no time to argue.”
He lowers his hand. “What about
