Royal or Loyal? [A garmau AU] ✔️

Capture [12]

"Father, this is Jessica.  Jessica, this is my father, the lord of O'khasis." Garroth said, introducing the two.

Aphmau curtsied.  "It's a pleasure, Lord Garte."

Garte, unamused, asked some questions.  "So Jessica, do you plan to be with my son for a long time?"

Aphmau nodded.  "Of course, sir."

"You don't plan to use my son for riches and gold?" He asked, rather harshly.

Aphmau shook her head.  "Of course not, sir."

Garte grinned slyly.  "That's great.  Guards! You can arrest her now." He said, pacing around, his arms behind his back.

Aphmau unsheathed her sword fending off one guard, without killing him before she was overwhelmed.

"Jessica!" Garroth shouted, being held back by guards, watching Aphmau struggled as the ropes were being tied around her wrists. 

They confiscated of her weapons, well most of them anyway.

"My son, thank you for helping me catch this fugitive." Garte snickered.

"What are you talking about?!" Garroth hissed, knowing what his father was trying to do.

"Oh, you know, our plan.  To make sure dear Aphmau here will fall for you and you bring all the secrets back here." Garte said, smirking at Garroth.

"Is that true Garroth?!" She asked, almost crying. 

"N–"

Garte cut Garroth off "Of course it's true–"

"I wasn't asking you, asshole." She growled, anger building up inside her.

"No it's not." Garroth finally said.

"Very well, thanks to you, I would've just given her life in jail, now she gets executed in four days." Garte crossed her arms, Aphmau still trying to struggle.

"Take her to the prison and take my son to his room." He said, giving off his final orders.

Two guards grabbed Garroth by his arms and started to walk in the opposite direction of Aphmau. He looked back multiple times before the double doors closed.

"Shit." Garroth cursed.

"What're you gonna do?" Vylad asks.

"Well I have to bust her out of there." He said, frustrated.

"Well, you got guards out of your door that are going to follow you around for the time being." Vylad states.

"Yeah, I know." Garroth scoffed.

Vylad looked a little hurt as Garroth's eyes softened.  "I'm sorry, I'm just–"

"Frustrated?"

"Yeah."

"But I think I have a plan." Vylad whispers, telling Garroth to come closer to him, while the planned a way to sneak past them.
