"What else can you do?" She narrowed her eyes slightly. "If I may speak freely, the chance of you escaping the gallows legally at this point is very slim."

"That's a stupid mentality to take," she scoffed. "I can get you out of here, and you can bide your time. What good is dying going to do?"

"Bide my time for what? Only solidifying the beleive that I actually killed my father? My lady, there's still an alternative. I have... A friend. Who might have garnered some evidence in my name."

Jac rolled her eyes. "You really are as stubborn as they say you are." She was about to speak again, but hesitated as her vision blurred uncomfortably. She blinked, gripping onto one of the bars for momentary support.

Jac simply nodded, hand pressed against the stone wall for support as she rose to her feet. "I wish you luck. And if you should get out of this alive, do remember who your friends were." The calculating look had returned to her eyes, and she gave him a subtle curtsey before turning to leave.

Alain leaned back against the wall, studying her with raised eyebrows. So that's what all this help is about, eh? I suppose I certainly do owe her now. She's very intelligent, and I will require a new advisor once I become King...

The noblewoman retrieved her torch and made her way carefully up the staircase, the uneasy sensation in the pit of her stomach growing with the dull ache in her back. What a fool. He has no chance of escaping with his Royal neck untouched.

"How about it, Joseph?" Alain crossed his arms, tilting his head towards the guard. "Looks like she's got me where she wants me. In debt."

"It may well be," he sighed. "But I trust Eliza and I trust her abilities. And... I want her to come soon. Even if it's only to say goodbye. I'd be happy with just that."
