She is wearing a black dress with many grey crystals like her eyes! Her long black hair is shining like a night sky with stars...

I approached her in a rush.

"Wow Ethan! You looking stunning in this dress!"she said.

Maria was looking at me with admiration like a mother.

"Thank you so much Maria! You are also breathtaking! How did you even end up here?"

She avoided eye contact.

"Um...I missed you so I came.His majesty didn't invite me of course.I am here to see you and warn you."

Warn me? Is it about the rebels?

"The rebels plan to break in the palace in 5 days.They want John's head."

My jaw dropped.My heart started beating faster.

"They want to kill John?How can I stop this?"

I am so shaken by this.Things went downhell so quickly...

"But Maria...In which side are you?"

She looked straight in my eyes.

"I am  in your side Ethan.I have noticed that John has become a better person with you by his side.That is why I will give him a chance.I have my own army since I am a noble as well.John doesn't know about this so I want you to tell him."

"Yes.I will warn him.Although I didn't know that he became a better person in general since I just gained some freedom.I couldn't learn anything inside that room-cage."

She nodded and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't push yourself too much.Even if it doesn't work out we can escape together! I will help you!"

I tried my best to smile.

"Thank you for cheering me on Maria! I don't want John to die and this is an opportunity to put an end to this mess!"

We both are determined.

"Ethan! Ethan where are you?!"

John's voice?!

He is coming downstairs!

"Maria please go now-"

When I turned to look at her she had already disappeared.

Phew...

I see John coming my way with an angry expression.

Ah...mom...

"John? Did you finish?"

Without saying a word he hugged me.

"Huh? John are you okay? Did the nobles tell you something?"

He spoke up without letting go.

"Stay where I can see you."

Aw...he was worried.

I patted his head gently.

"I didn't leave John.I just wanted some fresh air.It is your birthday enjoy yourself Johnny!"

He finally let me go.

"Okay and yeah things went well but I learnt something.The citizens are behaving strangely.They are too quiet.I think they will rebel."

Oh so he learnt about that.

"Yeah John I learnt more than that"

"Tell me."he said with a face that screamed confidence.

"Ah well...Maria came just now and told me everything.The citizens will attack in 5 days.Maria has an army already and she wants to help us.You also need to organise your army."
