The Barbaric Proposition {Royal Engagement Series 1}

79. The Person In The Cage

The black door was closed tightly and each side was surrounded by high walls. Two figures stood there looking at the door clad in red cloths. The surrounding atmosphere was calm and peaceful.

"Prizzi these walls are too high. It must be guarded heavily from inside" Anghari said growing at the wall.

"Someone is just protecting their territories" Nandini snorted. "We have to find a way to get in. Those guards shouldn't be awakened. We don't have time for a drama" she said looking around and spotted a tree which branches are higher than the walls.

Nandini smirked, "every perfect planning always has a loophole to break. Let's go" she moved quickly followed by Anghari. They climbed the tree effortlessly and rested on the branch looking at the wall below. "This would help" she nodded with a satisfied smile.

"How will we get out?" Anghari asked. "There must be guards"

"Let's first get inside. There's always a way for everything. Just keep your eyes open when you get inside"

"I understand " Anghari said with a nod.

"Perfect" Nandini said and jumped on the wall without making any sound. As predicted the door was guarded heavily by the guards. It's not only the entrance gate but there were series of guards guarding in every single corner.

"Looks like someone is afraid of death" Nandini whispered smirking.

"Prizzi that side" Anghari pointed towards the corner. There were bushes around and there's no guards at all.

"Let's go" Nandini said and they moved towards it. They jumped down the wall with a light move and hide in the bush. Guards are patrolling the area now and then. Nandini looked at side, "we will go with the bush line. Control your sound" she ordered and decided to do the first move. They moved through the lines of the bush which led them towards a more silent and cold place.

"This is not the entrance" Anghari whispered. "It looks like a dungeon place"

Nandini frowned. "A dungeon at the back. There's shouldn't be one. Besides why would he keep his enemy so openly?"

"Prizzi what do you want to do?" Anghari turned to look at her.

"Let's take a look inside first"

"Wouldn't it be late?"

"Meeting him is my choice. It's not compulsory. Besides we haven't fixed any official meeting so it depends on my mood. I feel more interested in this place" Nandini replied and walked inside. Anghari looked around checking if anyone's coming then followed behind Nandini.

As they moved further into the dungeon they could see the cells are all empty. But this place still looked like people visit everyday. There are most 8 cells in the dungeon but there's not a single person caged.

"It's all empty" Anghari whispered. "Is it abandoned?"

"No, there's someone" Nandini gestured her to keep silent. They listened carefully and heard someone is talking. "There's another cells inside"

"Shall we take a look?" Anghari asked. "That person inside must be special"

"Agreeable" Nandini nodded in agreement. They moved towards the deeper part. Few torch flames were lit in the area and they could see there's another cell inside where two guards were standing talking to ther person inside.

"What do you want to do now?" The guard asked sounding annoyed. "you are the criminal here but you are showing the attitude of royalty?" He let out a laugh, "stop dreaming. You can never go back. You can only stay here waiting for your death. But again you can't die easily. Sirdar has given order to take good care of you. Now eat you bastard" the guard pushed a food plate inside  the cell harshly. "If you don't eat then I have my ways to make you eat. Humph" the guard snorted then turned around leaving.
