Doris asked, she planed at the ald man but he didn’t loak surprised at all. Did he know hlen? Had he planned this?

The asked men ignored her and began to try and open his cell door. The old man glanced at Doris with sadness in his gaze. She wasn’t entirely sure why he was looking at her that way. “I want you to get her aut as well. She doesn‘t belong in here.”

Doris parted her lips in surprise, she didn’t expect him to actually want to help her get out of here. The asked man made an impatient noise and looked her up and down before dismissing her when he turned back to the old man.

“We don’t have time for this, we only have seconds before someone realizes I’m here.” He said, volce deep and rushed. She didn’t recognize his voice at all. Not like she did when she heard Prince Daniel speak and realized exactly who it was when she saw his face.

“She doesn’t belong in here.” The old man repeated More firmly. The masked man paused what he was doing for a moment and locked eyes with him.

Y-yes. I’m Daris. She responded, Tervously picking ather nails. Who was this man? How did he know her name?

She wished she had more time to ask the old man his story like he asked hers. Then perhaps she would know why he was in here in the first place. Änd-his name of course. She wished she knew his name, but now it felt extremely awkward to ask as he was being broken out of prison. She would probably never see him again if he succeeded, and she hoped he did.

“I heard Prince William is going to hold court tomorrow to judge your case. I think you’re right that Prince Jack will come by soon to get whatever information he wants from you, I suggest you hold out as long as you can.” The masked man wamed.

Doris felt her blood run cold. If her case was already

It hurt to blinkt before the old man offered some of his blood H..magic blood Doris had never met anyone that held a power like that, she wondered how it was even possible. Didn’t he realize how many people

he could help with a power like that? Did the palace know he had those sort of powers! Would they make him use it for good-on something else?

“You must stay true to yourself. Doris.” The old man said gently. slowly pulling her from her mashing thoughts. “All your wounds will heal, but your heart will not if you turn your back on what you believe.”

Doris nodded and placed her hand against her chest. Her heart toured beneath her palm. “I–I don’t know how far he’ll go for a false confession, but I’m ready to pay the price.”

“No,” The old man stepped up to the bars and held out his hand for her. She hesitated before she let him take it. He squeezed once before he let her go … “You should not lose your life for anything. Don’t you know every monster has their limits?”

Doris’s mind flashed back to the murderous look in Melody’s eyes the night she beat Doris in front of people who didn’t stop her. It didn’t feel like Melody had her limits then, Doris was positive she was going to die if Prince William hadn’t stopped her.

Doris had to believe that the trial would be fair.

She had to believe that Prince William would be fale even though she way certain the hated her. He watched her the entire right at the party, she knew deep down that he was going to do the right thing In return, Dons would as well—she would refuse to

She just didn’t understand why he wanted her to tell him that Prince William had been the one to poison Luis Queen. He was in his seat the whole night, not once did he get up to slip anything in her soup. nor did she see him suspiciously watching the soups to make sure someone else did it for him Doris would definitely have noticed his large fann making his was towards the kitchens, everyone would have looked at him if she was honest. He was hard to miss. and even harder to look away from. He mrely talked to anyone the entire night, but that was normal for himn. So, why WAS Prifice Jack so se on the fact that it was him? He acted the same as always. Cold, detached, and drinking Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Prince William is usually quick with court matters the masked man broke through her thoughts. “He’ll find who was responsible and it’ll be over before you know it. All you have to do is survive the night.”

Which was much easier said than done.

The footsteps stomped down the hallway, each sound rammed through her chest and she felt her entire body tremble when it stopped outside of her cell. The guards wordlessly unlocked Doria’s cell and grabbed her before she could even think to step back 1
