This is volume 2 to my first Ace Attorney One Shots Book!
If you haven't read that book yet, you should go read it because certain chapters will not make sense if you don't!
Thank you!
I sat in the hideout with Datz as we waited for Dhurke to return. I was tired, but I couldn't sleep. I was all over the place emotionally. Datz looked at me. "I'm sure everything will be fine. Dhurke ain't one to give up so easily!" I looked at him. "That's what I'm worried about. I just don't want him to get hurt or...killed..."
He sighed. "If it makes you feel better, I'll go look for him. How's that?" I tried to smile. "Oh, thank you. Be careful." He stood. "I will!" And with that, he was gone. I stood and walked over to the shelf where a few pictures sat. One was of Dhurke and I.
We were in the field by the river, standing happily under the blue sky. It was taken a few months after we first met.
We first met a year ago. My parents were servants for the royal family, but they were secretly working for the Defiant Dragons. One day, they were found out, and that same night, our house was set ablaze by Minister Inga and his 'police'.
I was the only one to make it out.
And that's when Dhurke found me, shivering the the cold with nothing but the clothes on my back.
As I turned away from the shelf, someone entered the hideout. I turned to them.
"Dhurke...you're back..."
He turned to me. "I didn't mean to worry you, but the queen's onto us again. I have to infiltrate the palace and I need your help."
I rose a brow. "Infiltrate the palace? Why?" He sighed. "Inga has a hostage. An important one. I have to save them." I nodded. "You can count on me. What's the plan?" He walked over to the closet and opened it.
"Datz is making the others aware. Inga has the hostage in Amara's tomb. You're going to distract Rayfa and the guards while I sneak in. Here."
He handed me some clothes.

I grabbed them. "Alright. I'll go change." Once I was in the servant's dress, I changed my hairstyle before going back to the main room.
"When do we leave?" He turned to me. "We have to go now. Datz is on his way here now."
I nodded. "Alright. Let's go."
The two of us left the hideout and made our way to the palace. As we got to the servants' entrance, I turned to Dhurke. "Please, be careful. I'll meet you by the tomb." He cupped the side of my face, his thumb brushing my cheek. "I will. You be careful too. I love you." I smiled. "And I love you."
We shared a kiss before I slipped into the servants' quarters. I made it through without drawing much attention to myself. As I made it to the courtyard, I saw Dhurke enter the tomb alone. After making sure the coast was clear, I headed over to the tomb and peered through one of the windows.
