Suddenly, Ochako's eyes shot open and she pulled away, standing up to place distance between her and the blonde.

Startled, Himiko gaped at the other, "Did I do something wrong?"

"I can't do this. Not with you..." She said, "you're a criminal and i'm royalty, it'd never work out! I don't want to put either of us in danger by letting this continue. I'm sorry."

"I see..." In a way, the news was a relief, Toga no longer had to worry about having to play with the princesses feelings, but still, not all of it was fake, "It's fine, I understand. I should probably head back, before anyone catches me."

The thief made her way to the window from which she came and turned to the brunette, "Thank you for spending time with me, even if it was short."

Ochako nodded, before turning away and Himiko too, turned to look down at the dark ground. Grabbing hold of the rope attached to the brick wall by magic (Minas idea), the blonde swung her legs around, slowly climbing down until her feet hit the soft grass.

She'd barely walked ten paces when something small whooshed past, lodging itself in her thigh. Yelping, Toga yanked the dart out before noticing a palace guard standing against the castle wall, smiling at her. Suddenly, the world started to blur, and she collapsed. 

Himiko awoke to a splitting headache, feeling groggy. Blinking a few times to stop the world from spiraling again, she sat up and looked around. A brick cell met her with a heavy door that made someone on the inside unable to look out unless the hatch was open. The "bed" in which the blonde had slept on, was no more than a bunch of empty burlap sacks and some straw. A plate of food was sat on a stool in the corner containing mystery meat, what looked like fruit, and a sad piece of bread. Stomach growling, she grabbed the tray, using her hands to pick up and eat the food. 

After what seemed like hours, the door opened, revealing the king, followed by two guards. One of the guards moved towards Toga, hauling her up and yanking her hands behind her back so he could clamp on the cuffs. Pushing her down, the guard chained her legs together as well, before moving back to stand behind the king. 

"What do you want now, your highness," Himiko snarled.

Laughing, the king stepped closer, "My dear, I believe you already know. Just here to make sure you're prepared."

"Awwww, is it execution time already? I've barely been awake for very long, surely you can give me time to settle in?"

"Don't worry, the execution isn't happening for two days, should be enough time to make you regret everything you've ever done," The king turned to the guards, "You have my permission to do whatever you want to her, just don't kill her, yet."
