Around the evening time in Senwald, Shokei and her party are held in the Kingdom's prison cell, down in the dungeon. The prison looks like a tomb, only that the torches illuminate the area on each side of the prison bars, and the walls are dark grey. Each party member is separated individually as one of them have a cell of their own. However, they can communicate with each other through the small windows.

  "Being held in here sucks...literally." Rei said to everyone.

  "I hate it in here." Marie said in a compint. "It stinks like fish in here. I want to go home."

  "We don't have a home anymore, remember?" Rei said to her. "All of it is gone and we only have Kichiro's home for a living."

  "At least it's better than being homeless." Marie said.

  "Oh, shut up, will you?" Rei said back, feeling annoyed. "You're worrying too much, and we don't have a pn yet on escaping here."

  "I wish there was a pn to get out of this coup." Marie said. "But what will we do?"

  Just then, the iron door opens and then the party turns to see a figure standing at the door. There appears the King, which turns out to be Antoinette's stepfather. The King has two guards on both sides and then he walks up to look at his captives in his domain. The king looks at them with a sincere smirk on his face. He rubbed his hands together and then folded them to crack his fingers before letting his hands loose.

  "I would like to thank you for bringing the girl back to my castle." The King said to all of them. "I am King Faramond, ruler of Senwald. I am pleased to see how thoughtful it was for all of you to invade my castle without detection..."

  "What happened to Antoinette?" Shokei asked him, disrupting his speech.

  King Faramond turned to see Shokei speaking to him. He goes over to look at her in the eye.

  "I beg your pardon?" he asked, raising his eyebrow.

  "What happened to Antoinette?!" Shokei asked him again, only a little louder. "What did you do to her?"

  "Oh yes!" replied the King. "Regarding on that despiteful runaway..."

  Shokei looks at him as he turned his back at her.

  "What will happen to her you ask?" he continued. "She is being pced in a special room where she will be punished. Her 'love' is not pleased with her actions for running away. I do have a favor in mind to make him do something towards her as part of the punishment."

  "You bastard..." Shokei directly tells him and gives a threatening remark. "You y one hand on her and..."

  The guard on the King's right side, shes out his sword quickly at Shokei's face. Shokei immediately steps back to avoid the sharpness of the sword from her face.

  "Grrrr!" Shokei hissed.

  "Even for a feisty being, you wouldn't dare y a hand on me, King Faramond himself, and py hero, would you my dear?"

  "Grrrrrrr!!" Shokei hissed with anger, tightening her fists.

  "Don't even call her 'dear' you bastard!!" Rei warned him.

  "Hmm?" the King turns to see Rei calling out to him.

  The guard on the left side of the King's side was about to make a move, but the King shakes his head immediately, preventing him from doing anything.

  "Now then," King Faramond resumes back to business. "Since you brought my daughter back in one piece, I have something in mind for all of you to do for me."

  "What will that be?" Shokei asked.

  "You'll find out until tomorrow." The King replied. "It would be best not to tell you what I have in mind for those who invaded in my castle."

  With that statement, the King turns around and makes his way to the exit. Before he went through the door, the King turns to make another announcement.

  "Get a good night's rest." He said to the party. "You're going to need it."

  The guards take the torches with them and heads for the door. The door was closed shut and locked, leaving everyone in the darkness. The party remained quiet for a few minutes as they hear the footsteps of the King and his guards going upstairs until the sounds faded.

  "I wonder what he meant "Were going to need it?" Marie asked.

  "Beats me." Sadako said.

  "I guess this is an early bedtime for us." Rei said as she walks back to her bench. "Night guys. Wish us luck!"

  The party said good night to each other. Shokei heads over to her bench and lies down. She did not sleep yet as she is wondering about Antoinette's situation. Since that she's in prison, Shokei could not bear to think what the King is about to do to her, and the punishment is unknown in her thoughts.

  Whatever the punishment is Antoinette...I hope you don't suffer harshly. Shokei thought deeply.

  Quiet surrounds inside the prison cells as the party is asleep. Shokei is the only one that did not fall asleep yet. Her thoughts were on the princess. Shokei could not tell what might have happen to her since the moment she and her party got caught and she could not tell what kind of punishment she was being dealt with.

  Lying on the hard bench, her thoughts were wondering on what's taking pce at this moment for Antoinette. Of all the things that the princess told her from her past to the point when she does not want to become a princess anymore, she could not think about the suffering that she has to go through. Being in prison, Shokei became hopeless as she is locked up.

  Tiredness came in as Shokei drifted off to sleep. Then, she had a dream.

  Shokei is being surrounded by three men, trapping her behind a wall. The men appeared to be very vicious, and their faces are full of savagery. The men are taking advantage on Shokei and they are about to harm her.

  "Stop it! Stop it!" Shokei cries out to the men.

  "Awwww, little dy doesn't wanna py nice?" one of the men said sinisterly, behaving childish.

  "This whore is weak!" the second of the men said. "Let's get her while we can!"

  "Ahhh!!" screamed Shokei as she felt one of the men grabbing her by the arm.

  "Gahhh!!" the other man grabbed her right arm as he tightens the arm with a heavy grip.

  Shokei wailed as she cried with tears. She tried to fight it, but she looks up to see the third man approaching her close.

  "Now," the third man said in a grueling tone. "Let's burn this bitch out, shall we?"

  "I cannot let you do that." A voice was called out of nowhere.

  "Eh? Who said that?!"

  Before the men could harm Shokei, a mysterious figure appears on top of a pole. The three men look up to see the unknown figure above.

  "Huh? Who the hell are you?" one of the men called out to the person.

  "Who I am is not important." the figure said to him. "But I won't let vicious beasts like you harm a woman in distress."

  "Hmmph! Your talk is cheap!" the third man taunt him with a sharp knife. "Get down here if you want your ass kicked!"

  "You leave me with no choice." The figure said and he drives down toward the three men.

  "Here he comes! Let's get him!"

  The mysterious person fought against the three men. Wielding a long sharp spear, the figure cuts through his first enemy and kills him on the spot. The other two men saw him killed instantly and they let Shokei go. The figure sees the men charging after him and then the figure did the same as he wields his spear to ssh through them. The men were killed on the spot with their heads decapitated.

  Once the men were taken care of, Shokei uncovered her eyes and looks to see that all three of her enemies are lying dead. She looks up to see who saved her. The figure is a tall guy. His eyes snted, he has a shoulder-length, straight and stylish hair. His form is slender. Shokei stares up at the person that saved her life.

  "Thank..." Shokei blinks as she felt nervous towards the person that saved her life.

  The figure stands there and waits for her to respond. Shokei clears her throat.

  "Thank you for saving me." Shokei said to him.

  The figure nodded.

  "...you look...familiar..." Shokei said to him. "I think I've seen you somewhere."

  "Perhaps..." the figure said to her.

  Both sides stared at each other for a minute. Then, the silence was broken.

  "...who are you?" Shokei asked.

  A fshback occurred in the dream that Shokei is having. Vivid images show Shokei and her mysterious person are now together as a couple. The past is recalling the memories on what she and her partner done when they were together. The fshbacks capture her from traveling with her partner on adventures, to a romantic dinner. The scenery changes to where Shokei listens to the music from her partner as her loved one pyed the cello. The fshback continues further as Shokei and her partner are watching the night skies. She did recall pying around with her partner's hair during the moody evening.

  "You either kiss me...or I'll have to make a move on you first?"

  Somewhere in the dream, Shokei recalled the memory in another fshback where she and her partner are holding onto each other in their arms while having a quiet time together in a bedroom. Together, the pair are having an intimate moment as they are making out with each other. Shokei can remember how she held on to her partner close enough, knowing that Shokei could not leave him out of her sight.

  Then, the fshback shifted as Shokei can recall the moment between her and her partner.

  "...but after everything we did for each other and...not you want to end this?" Shokei asked her partner.

  "I know..." her partner said, smoothing down her face, gently with his hand. "I know that you are a nice, gentle, and a sweet girl...it's just that..."

  "What is it?" Shokei asked him, worried with emotion. "What are you saying?"

  "...the fact is that..."

  Shokei waits to hear the words from his mouth. Her partner was about to finish, but he kept his mouth shut.

  "Aren't you going to tell me?" Shokei asked. "Just what are you trying to say..."

  "It was long enough for me to be with you for a period of time." Her partner interrupted her. "It's just that something came up and I know that I cannot be with you any longer."

  "But...but where are you going?" Shokei asked him, sounding desperate. "What will you do without me?"

  Shokei's partner did not reply, and he turned his back on her.

  "I want answers!! Please! Tell me!!" Shokei shouted.

  "I must leave now...adieu." The partner said his finals words and walks off. He still refuses to comply.

  "NO! WAIT!!" Shokei shouted at him, but she did not go after him. "Why aren't you telling me?!"

  The partner leaves her behind and was soon out of her sight. Shokei feels all alone by herself.

  A fshback came once again to show another scenario where Shokei is crying to herself in her room. She sobbed quietly and rests her head on the pillow. The door opens in her room suddenly and then Shokei turns around to see who was at the door. Her friend Rei comes in the picture. Rei did not say a word and she stop by to see Shokei, crying alone in her room. She walks over to where Shokei is ying on her bed. Rei sees Shokei for a minute, watching her as tears flood her eyes. To her senses, Rei can understand what Shokei is going through, and she decide to sit at the edge of the bed and rubbed Shokei's back.

  "It's ok." Rei quietly said to her. "It's ok."

  Shokei sobbed with tears still running from her eyes. Her eyes are pink as her emotions get the best out of her.

  "...but...how..." Shokei said, cracking her voice. "...how could you treat me this way..."

  In the cell, Shokei is crying herself in her sleep. She had a terrible dream that have occurred in her thoughts. She recalled the memories of her long-lost love and how she felt abandoned and alone to herself. Because of that dream, Shokei finds herself in loneliness. She couldn't sleep well due to the bench she had to rest on. Soon, she takes her time to get a hold of herself before she drifted off to sleep once again.
