Conflicted is what Ophelia feels, ender is there, wearing a very prestigious outfit that could be consider as a noble—no higher than a regular noble. With insignia in his shoulder that seems to be the castles symbol. This could only mean one thing, He is the crown prince. Before Ophelia could react more, the prince and the knights who are with them are coming towards her direction. Instead of stalling Ophelia quickly dove out of the window, hanging down for her life as she clutch the edge of the castle wall. She heard a small murmur ender voice quite down as he walked passed the window. Ophelia shivered by the breeze of the air, she looked down her and count the windows.
"1—2—3—4" she counted and noticed that she as in the 4th floor of the castle which mean in the very edge of the left side is the window she remember then the right side of that window is the only window of the majesties office. 'Okay how are we going to do this' Ophelia thought before going down to the wall, edge by edge until she arrived from the window of the office. The budge the window and from the sound of it, the window is locked from the inside. She looked inside of the room which it seem to be empty, she took the pick lock from her boots that she place. She flick and nudge the thin horizontal line of the window until she heard the sound of clank 'Sorted' she smirk then opened the window succeeding on entering the office.
She opened the cabinets and scan the documents in a hurry, but with time she could not the document she have been looking, Ophelia sighed to herself and think long and hard.
'The king is not a fool to put his confidential plan in plain sight' Ophelia looked around nudging books and furniture around if she could find anything like a key perhaps. But then in the corner of her eye she saw a very oddly place lantern of the wall, she went to examine the lantern before touching it. In accidental addition of force the lantern went clockwise and a sound caught her off guard. The wall where the lantern is placed move, and as it moved it dragged her leaving no sign of trace of her being inside of the office.
Ophelia stalked around the dark staircase leading her further down. She passed by multiple candlesticks to light up her way, finally the staircase stop in front of a door. Ophelia put her ear to the door looking for any sign of talking or noise couple of minutes is listening show opened the door and there, a library full of books and papers scattered in the ground. Ophelia look around then find a stack of papers covers in leather covering, she frantically went over the desk and scan every item. She opened books, flipping them individually rereading them all over until she opened a certain book. A book that seems to be paste together and a small square hole in-between the paste paper. There lay a small golden key, Ophelia took the key and examine it, looking around if she could find anything that can be used for the key. She then found small box decorated in gold jewels. She tried the key and the sound of clicking bring joy to Ophelia's heart.
She opened the key revealing a tacked paper l, notes about the plan to capture all omega in the kingdom and exterminate them?? Ophelia was furious how a selfish king like him could decide who lives and who dies, a king who vigorously spend all the kingdoms wealth by his ruling. As Ophelia red the document she heard multiples sound that cause her to panic, it seems like people have arrived under the basement. Ophelia jammed the papers in the box and putting the key on her boots before crouching behind the bookshelf. As she looked at the people went inside she hurriedly opened the door as the last man walked in then run silently in the stairs. Vividly she could her a shout saying "--MENTS ARE STOLEN, DONT LET ANYONE GET OUT THE GATE"
That is where she know she is done. As she ran pass the candlestick she blow them out to hide her identity, and when she arrived at the entrance she turn the lantern to open the entrance. The office bright light shone in Ophelia's face, she quickly hurried her way to the window. Before going out she remember the book she read a while ago she scan the bookshelf then took the book then jumped out the window. As she fall down she grab the vine beside the wall, she hang for her life before transform herself into her hybrid form to lessen her damage fall. She then fall in the ground rolling down, catching her breath before continuing to run towards the woods. The sound of the guards fading away from Ophelia's hearing
"I need to get away far away from the kingdom so they won't suspect me" as got further away from the kingdom, she noticed the sudden raising of cacophony ahead of her, she instantly put on her cloak and hide behind a bush. She catches her breath after looking at the commotion in front of her. There she saw knights looking and talking about the thief which is her!
"Is there any description about the thief?" a knight asked the other knights,
"A burgundy cape, and a very feminine figure" a knight answered.
"Could it be a female alpha? Or a beta? It could not be an omega since they are weak-hearted" knight exclaimed. Well aren't they rude!! But she could use this opportunity to get out of this situation.
"But the king said not to let anyone be fooled, it still could be an omega. So must not let anyone get in and out." 'She should have not jinx it' Ophelia cursed under her breath. But before she could move nor react a yell erupted.
"I saw a lad there in a cape. GET HIM!" the knights scramble ahead towards the lad they saw. Leaving Ophelia scared and relief, she just lost her breath for a while. She could feel her knees weaken. She got out of the bushes and look around her surroundings, she tighten her cloak before running again.
After running for a while, Ophelia began to tired out, she rest for under the tree she know that she should be running away but she need to catch her stamina to regain her strength once again. She tiredly blink her eyelids, a yawn escape in her mouth. Maybe a tiny rest can do her good. By then Ophelia slept quietly, unguarded and unprotected.
Ophelia was quietly sleeping unaware of the footstep and voice.
"By my by, a young thief resting after stealing gold from the king. Do you know that it a treason?" Ophelia eyes widen by the voice. She tried to stand up but a sword was pointed at her. Looking at the face of the knight but only to gasp in shock.
"Zack?"
"Ophelia?"
