Triple Nightmare /Bakudekutodo

Chapter 83: Getting out of here!

Midoriya POV:
"You don't have to be convinced because you don't have a choice." The King said as he jumped off his chair. "You are merely peasants and I am of royal blood. If I say you'll marry my daughters you will." Kacchan angrily took a step forward "That might be the case for people living here but we are only visitors." "As long as you're still here you WILL live by MY RULES!" The King shouted back. "I guess it is time for us to leave then." Kacchan started pulling both Shoto and me towards the door. One of the guards posted there blocked our way. "Move" Kacchan said in a scary tone. The Queen stood off her chair. King Mortimer now angrily stormed towards the door as well but before he was able to reach us the oldest daughter jumped up and slammed her hands on the table.  "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Meanwhile the prince had also found foot. "This is ridiculous." The oldest now said. Then she angrily turned towards her father. All three maids stood there frozen watching the unfolding events. "Are you that opposed to me being with the love of my live that you would rather have all of us married of to strangers who aren't of royal blood either?! What in gods name do you have against him?! HE is sweet and kind, has the upmost respect for you. He isn't some drunk from the streets but a genuine nice person. He won't even be king ever. So what is it that discusses you about him?!" Everyone was silent.

Suddenly the second oldest sighed. "It's not because of Eric, dear sister." Everyone now looked at her. And the further this went the more we knew we had gotten involved in some crazy family drama. "The other day when I went out one of the city guards caught me. It was just a coincidence that you told them about Eric the same night." "Caught you doing what?" Her sister asked. "Kissing Sarah..." everyone in the room except us four now held their breath. "Dad thought if he found me a man soon he could still fix me or something. It's my fault you can't be with the love of your live. Sorry." The princess added. "I think it's time we all went to bed now." the queen nervously budded in. "Let's continue discussing this matter tomorrow." "HELL NAH! We're leaving!" Kacchan shouted. "Feel free todo so. Once you left the bubble you'll be dead." I was surprised to find out the prince had a voice too. Us three looked at each other. He was right. The last time we were out there all of us nearly died. We had no chance surviving on our own. And so another lonely night broke in.

I starred at the ceiling of my canopy bed. Even though I was exhausted from today I wasn't able to shut my eyes for even just a few seconds. I started wondering whether the others felt the same when suddenly the hinges on my door screeched. I sat up. A dark silhouette came sneaking into my room. Suddenly a match was lit and then a candle. It was the second oldest princess.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered. She quickly closed the door again and came closer. "I have a favour to ask." She answered. "I-I can get you out of here. The soldier of the lost lands who brought you here a few days ago, I got in contact with her before she left. I can take you to her. Najwa is still in this bubble." She quickly got to her point. "That sounds more like a favour for us than a request from you." I said. The princess took a deep breath. "I will help you get out of here, IF in return you take me and my girlfriend Sarah with you." That did sound like a perfect deal for both parties but... "Are you sure you both want to do this?" She hesitated. "Sarah doesn't know about my plan yet." that caught me off guard. "I haven't been allowed to leave the castle since we got caught. My only choice is to pick her up on our way out. My hopes are high though. We have often joked and dreamed about doing something crazy like this. With just a little bit of luck she'll come with me." I hesitated. This was risky. At the same time I wanted to help her and even more so I wanted to get out of here together with Shoto and Kacchan. "What's the plan then?" I confidently asked. The princesses face lit up. "Are you for real?" her eyes filled with tears. I smiled. "How about we start with your name." "It's Mireille [Mee-ray]" She said with a shaky but happy voice. "Nice to meet you Mireille. My name is Izuku."

The plan was as follows. Mireille said that we could meet Najwa the next night. That gave me enough time to inform the others and Mireille could make sure our route through the castle was a safe one. We needed to get out without even a single guard noticing or the entire plan would fall into water. We only had one chance and we were determined to use it. Luckily we wouldn't be alone. After Mireille had reassured me we could trust them I spoke to lady Noah the next morning. Thanks to her Kacchan and Shoto got the message through Lady Macbeth and Mrs Lucy. To make sure I knew they would be okay with it both gave me a nod the next time we saw each other. And after another exhausting day of having to hear who we were allowed to be with and who not it was finally time when I head three knocks on my door after the sun had just gone down.

I sneaked over to my rooms door and opened it just an inch. I could see Lady Noah right outside my door. She gave me the signal and I came out. As soon as I had left the room she pushed a bag into my arms and whispered something to me: "Listen carefully, the princesses room is a level higher. She will come down here in just a bit. Meanwhile go down that corridor and meet up with your friends. Continue following the hallway till you find the stair case. Go down. In the basement you'll find the kitchen. Don't worry the staff in there will help you and princess Mireille to leave through the kitchen window. It's small but the only exit without any guards right in front of it. There will still be some close by though. That's why you'll have to hurry. Sadly we won't be able to be of any help anymore once you enter the basement. All we can do is stop anyone from coming down here while you make your escape. In the bag you will find your own supplies as well as enough for you five to survive a few days. The others also have one. Use the recourses well." "Thank you for everything. Seriously." She gave me a smile. "Now go. I wish you the best of luck." And with that I was off.

Just the way it was planned Shoto and Kacchan stood ready once I came by. Without a single word we grabbed each other's hands and made our way to the stairs. Right as we reached them Mireille came sneaking downstairs. Instead of her princess gowns she was wearing suitable clothes for a long travel as well as a backpack over her shoulder. "Let's go." Before long and with a little help of some cooks we finally reached the window. One after the other we climbed on top of the counter and squeezed through the small opening. Mireille and Shoto had already left and I was kneeling there ready to leave when we suddenly heard a whistle coming from the stair case. That was the signal! Someone was coming. Without a single second of hesitation Kacchan grabbed me by my legs and pulled me off the counter and into his arms. One of the chefs opened a little door and we squeezed in. There was barely space in between all the cooking ingredients wich resulted in Kacchan and me being pressed against each other as we held our breaths hopping not to get caught.
