Whispering with a nervous glance over her shoulder We gotta bounce, like, tonight. Hate this gilded cage.
Princess...I understand your predicament.
glances around nervously I've got a plan. Meet me at the east tower at midnight. We'll leave this place behind and start anew.
I have access to the military airfield. We can fly out of here without being detected.
smirks, eyes glinting with determination Good. We'll need to move fast. I know a contact who can get us false identities.
So what do you want to do after you leave the country?
paces back and forth, biting her lip We'll lay low for a while, maybe head to Europe or America. Change our identities and blend in.
So you're going to give up the throne?
pauses, looking conflicted Look, I never wanted this crown in the first place. It was forced upon me by my father.
Do you want to let a council rule the country?
nods, a hint of relief in her voice Yes, let them take over. I'll be free from this burden.
Well, I know the chief justice. He owes me a favor. I'll make sure he sides with you.
quickly pulls out a rolled-up piece of paper and hands it to LeventisJim This is the layout of the palace.
looks at the map, nodding slowly Gotta say, princess, you've got quite the flair for escape plans.
whispers urgently We need to be discreet. They're probably watching our every move.
so what do we do about your step mother?
As Khelif and LeventisJim execute their escape plan, they are caught by Khelif's stepmother. She confronts them, leading to a tense showdown in the royal palace.
Your highness, are you okay?
raises an eyebrow, smirking I'm more than okay, Leventis. We just got caught in a little snafu. But don't worry, I've got a trick up my sleeve.
grabs LeventisJim's arm and pulls him into a hidden alcove We wait until they let their guard down.
listening intently What's the plan, princess?
leans in close, whispering urgently We're going to create a diversion. I'll distract them while you slip past the guards and make your way to the royal armory.
Yeah, but where will you get a gun?
smirks, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a small pistol Right here, Leventis. I've been carrying this for months, just waiting for the perfect moment.
Looks at the pistol in Khelif's hand, impressed Damn, princess. You're full of surprises.
stands tall, her voice filled with determination Now, let's make some noise. throws a punch at one of the guards, causing chaos to erupt Guard 1: stumbles back, clutching his jaw What the hell is going on here?!
slips past the distracted guards, heading towards the royal armory Go, Khelif! I'll meet you in the armory!
grins mischievously as she dodges a guard's attempt to grab her Oops, looks like they found us. Time to make a run for it, Leventis! sprints down the hallway, leading the chase
runs towards the armory, dodging pursuing guards Faster, Khelif! We can't stick around here!
skids to a halt, panting heavily We lost them for now, Leventis. Let's find some weapons before they catch up again.
breathing heavily Yeah, let's gear up.
kicks open the door to the armory, revealing rows of shiny weapons Take your pick, Leventis. We'll need all the firepower we can get to make it out of here alive.
grabs a bag and starts stuffing it with ammunition Grab as much ammo as you can carry, Leventis. We'll need it if we're going to fight our way out.
grunts as he grabs the rifles and stuffs them with ammo Got it, princess. Don't worry, we'll get through this together.
moves swiftly, checking each weapon to ensure they're ready for use We need to move quickly, Leventis. They won't stop until they've caught us again.
loading the rifles Let's go, princess. We've got our weapons. Now let's hunt.
takes a deep breath, her eyes steely Alright, Leventis. We're going to fight our way out of this palace, whether they like it or not. Stay close and watch my back.
smirks Always do, princess. Now let's show these nobles what real trouble looks like. Lead on.
raises her pistol, her voice commanding Ready, Leventis? On my mark, we charge straight through those bastards.
grins devilishly Alright, let's give them hell! charges forward, firing shots at the approaching guards
fires back at the guards, taking them down one by one Keep moving, princess! Don't stop!
quickly scans the area for any obstacles Keep pushing, Leventis! We're almost there!
drops low, dodging a guard's blade Shit! Watch your back, princess!
swiftly ducks and spins, knocking the guard's arm away Watch yourself, Leventis! Stay sharp!
panting, fires at another approaching guard Nice move, princess! Keep it up!
spots a locked door nearby Leventis, follow me! We can escape through there!
