• Nicholas

I dart at the time, and unfurl the letter, Victoroa mailed me. She was wary in case her plan didn't work. I read it.

My mother killed Vannessa. If you obtained this letter, It may not be too late. I'm vastly imprisoned in the lowest dungeon. Find me, before she kills me. I believe in you.

......

Love, Victoria ~

I set the letter down and went to my parents.

"I believe my mother-in-law is holding Victoria captive.", I say to them. My father sets his fag in a bowl and looks up at me.

"What makes you say that, dear?", Mother asks me.

"I received a note.", I respond showing it to my parents.

"I'm knackered.", my father says, yawning. "Please, father. We have to aid her.", I respond.

"It is not our struggle.", mother says, grabbing my hand.

"She is my wife, mother.", I respond, furious. "If you don't assist me, I'll have to do it solely.", I say saddened, examining my mother who doesn't bat an eye. I groan, rolling my eyes. "Bloody hell.", I mutter and turn away, vacating the chamber, and quickly heading to the library. If I must do this myself. I will also need an agenda to rescue her.

Hours pass

I yawn, reading a page, until I ultimately come up with a scheme to get Victoria out. I can plunge into the dungeon tunnels, from a confidential entrance, toss smoke bombs, and I'll locate Victoria. We have a plan, I suppose.

I depart from my chambers, clasping my tools and weapons. Then I preside downstairs for the dungeon, where I see two men talking.

The Queen is arriving.

They stroll away until they are out of sight. I quickly proceed into a space.

How will I encounter Victoria, with the Queen in the palace? She will identify me I must be discreet. I look around, and my eye is caught by a warden's uniform. That can help. I snatch the uniform, place it over my apparel, and snag the weapon hanging above.

I place it over my clothing, holding onto the pistol. And I stroll back out, looking for Victoria.

"Prince Nicholas. Your majesty!!", a man screams out.

"Please, be quiet.", I beg, but he proceeds with yelling. I grab my weapon and shoot him down, he tumbles to the floor, bleeding out. I step over him and shift away. Bloody hell! I killed someone. I continue walking.

I'm vastly imprisoned in the lowest dungeon. Find me, before she kills me. I believe in you.

I step on the stairs leading down, and I'm presented with more men.

Prince Nicholas is here. By orders of Queen Mother, kill him. Don't let him get past this door.

......

"No need to be hostile, folks.", I respond, as the men corner me. I sprout at the lights, that fall to the floor turning the power off. I then shoot at the mirror, inducing the glass to shatter everywhere.

"Man, stand by.", the guard says, and I take that as a prospect to steer away.

"Where did he go?!", they ask. I clutch the piece of glass slicing their necks, as the two men collapse to the floor. The men shoot at me, and I quickly run away. I grab the dead man's gun, firing at them. Until it's just me and the captain.

"Where the hell are you, Nicholas?", the captain asks in rage.

"I didn't desire to hurt any of you. Just disclose to me where Victoria is.", I respond.

"You'll have to kill me first.", he responds, firing the gun at the mirrors, as the glass falls everyone. Scratching my face, and arm. I sigh, and grab the pistol, turning it towards him, as he falls to the floor, along with the pistol.

"I hoped you would take the easy way.", I say, wiping my face coated in blood. The lights turn back on, and I glance at my clothes. "Bloody hell!", I say, seizing a seat on the floor, picking out a cigarette. Then I grasped the firearm and ran away.

 Then I grasped the firearm and ran away
