"Perhaps. But mark my words, if I get out of this cell, the first thing I'll do is examinate the advisor. That killer looked like the type one would hire in a back alley."

"I do believe you're right. The advisor has been acting suspicious lately. And everyone knows he was jealous of the king's power. Once you left, I think he saw the opportunity to claim the throne as his."

"I hope he will be."
A half an hour later, the messenger who'd delivered the letter came running down the stairs, panting hard. "For him," he gasped, pointing the role of parchment towards Alain.

"That was fast." Alain unrolled the parchment, wondering what Eliza wrote.!

Prince Alain Pendragon III,
I'm coming.
"What did she respond with?" Joseph asked eagerly.

"All she said was that she was coming." He smiled. "Appropriately short and dramatic, huh? I'm sorry you had to run so much to deliver two sentences, Mr. Messenger."

"It's my job," the young boy replied with a shrug before heading back up the steps.
"So she's coming here? Do you think it's to, ah...say goodbye?"

"I don't know. That doesn't sound much like her. She's the type to fight until the very end."

Joseph chuckled. "Well, you might want to try and get what little sleep you can. I've heard the cell floors are pretty hard."

Alain signed. "Goodnight, Joseph. It's nice to get to talk to you before I don't have a head to talk with."

"Goodnight..." he sighed, blowing out the candle.
(Timeskip to tomorrow night?)

Eliza glanced around nervously, wrapping her cloak tighter around her form. Pulling the hood up, she snuck around to the backside of the castle, doing her best to avoid guards. Eventually, she found the outside entrance to the dungeons and slipped in after Joseph, who was carrying Alain's meal of bread and cheese to him.

Alain was curled up on the floor of the cell, eyes shut. He looked oddly calm and resigned to his fate, as if ready to face his death.

Eliza followed the guard at a distance until they came to a cell with another candle in front of it. Her eyes widened when she saw who she thought was Alain.
Joseph rapped on the bars. "Hey, uh, I got you some dinner."

Alain sat up, eyes glinting hungrily. Still, he forced a dignified tone of voice. "Thank you, Joseph."

He gave him the bread and cheese, sitting back down on his stool.
Eliza took a deep breath and made sure her hood covered her face before coming into the light and facing Joseph. "Let me in," she demanded.
"I–I'm sorry, I can't do that... He's been charged with the murder of the king."
