"I'm sorry, Princess. I didn't know your legs were still numb.." He sat her back on the chair, and looked at her. She was moving her fingers and looking at them. Now he really felt guilty. Peach was right, she didn't deserve this at all. All Ludwig could do was wait and see what Bowser had planned for the two of them.
Ludwig then did something unexpected. He looked at her again, making sure she was looking at him, and smiled. Not an evil or twisted smile, but a smile of warmth and reassurance.
~~~~~
- (Ludwig's POV) -
I watched as the princess attempted to walk for what seemed like the sixth time in the last ten minutes. She was up, then slowly taking steps, then wobbling and falling to the ground. This time, she got to the wall.
"Princess, stop this. You're still weak, you cannot walk." I said, agitation overcoming me. Hasn't she learned from the first time?! I watched her cling to the wall and all of a sudden shake. As I watched her shake, I hear laughter erupt from her.
"Weak? ...that's precious. I am, as a matter of fact, not weak. It is YOU, Ludwig, who is. You've never had to deal with kidnapping, and suffering. I have." I saw her turn around, a furious expression on her face. I matched her expression - how DARE she say that?!
"Where did this come from?! I'm only trying to help you!" I retorted, keeping a stern eye on her, she didn't flinch however. She smirked.
"Help me, eh? Hah! I don't need help!" She said, standing up straight and leaning against the wall with her back. I started to get more irritated - does she not realise that I could be much worse!? At that point I noticed just how dishevelled she was; her hair was knotted and frizzy, her white and (f/c) dress grey and dirty, her face tired and sunken. And speaking about her dress, it was hanging fairly uneven and low, almost revealing her - no! Stop it! She's your prisoner! And she's arguing with you, Ludwig! Keep it together!
"At least I'm not prisoner and looking like shit!" I smirked, feeling triumphant. Staring at her, I watched go from smug to irritated. She frowned a bit, looking down at herself, as of checking herself, then growled. She looks back up, an expression of pure anger on her face. Uh oh. What's gonna happen ne-
"That's funny, you seem to be enjoying torturing me. Trust me, Ludwig, can do MUCH worse than you could EVER do to me! So, if you really wanna test me, watch yourself. You'll regret it, I assure you." She said, her eyes unblinking and not shifting from my face. Where did all this confidence come from?! She's the prisoner here! I walked over to her, slowly, backing her to the wall even further, her expression unchanging surprisingly. I grasped her shoulders, which were alarmingly cold and pushed her towards the wall, anger now dictating my actions.
"Listen, your highness, I run things around here. You are MY prisoner, I control YOU. So if you want to make this more difficult for yourself, princess, then keep going." I growled, staring at her. Her expression changed, slightly, a more neutral expression on her face, a scowl still on her face however. She tried fighting back, shaking her shoulders so I would let go, however I didn't. I kept her there. It made me feel powerful against her, striking fear in her (or at least I hoped). I finally let go of her, and she backed away again, keeping a sharp eye on me. I saw her smirk, lifting up her dress a bit, still keeping her gaze on me. I looked at her slightly confused at what she's doing, and kept an eye on her. She then pulled her leg, and I smirked. She doesn't know I took them off. She tugged at her skin, confused and panicked.
"..what? Where are they?! What have you done with them?!" She shouted, panicked and irritated. My smirk grew, a low chuckle coming from me. I moved out of the way, revealing them on the floor outside the cell. Her eyes widened. "Give them back!"
"No can do, princess. You can use them against us, and we can't risk that." I said, walking back over her, now her expression changed completely. She was completely against the wall, eyes wide and breath quickening. Now she's scared. It gave me such a rush of confidence! I smirked, leaning closer to her and gripping her chin with my fingers. "I told you, you have no authority here. You are powerless. I could break you if I really wanted to." I laughed, seeing her unravel before me. I stepped back from her, and she slumped to the ground, finally realising her situation.
I turned around and walked out of the cell, making sure it's locked before picking up the stockings and turning back to her, still slumped on the ground on her knees.
- (Y/N)'s POV -
I'm screwed. He took my stockings! I see no way out of here! Is there a way out of here? I looked around me, seeing no windows, or easy ways out of the bars. I couldn't see any! Feeling my stomach clench, I clutched it, feeling cold and dizzy.
I feel so hopeless.
I feel useless.
Weak.
I started to lose consciousness again, cold and weak.
