《Deck of Cards》The plan set in motion

Advertisement

A month has passed since Echo had returned back to the Kingdom and ever since then, everything has gone even more downhill. Their healer disappeared and few days later, one of the heroes was killed by an unknown person with an unknown weapon. And today, the Kingdom learned that their first prince has been assassinated. The murder weapon, belonged to one of the heroes and that hero was Mari.

So right now inside of the castles dungeon, a group of Royal Guards are dragging an unconscious body to her cell. A small bloodtrail is left behind, as the cold and rough floor slowly tears of her skin.

The sound of armor clanking stops and a door to a cell is opened with a loud screeching. Then two of the guards just throw her inside of cell, lock it and walk away from it. Leaving the barely clothes Mari on the floor, all beat up and bloody.

Hours pass, until she slowly starts to wake up on the cold stone floor. At first, she doesn't understand where she is, but as she looks around, she begins to realise where she is.

"No no no. It's not possible."she says to herself, as she gets onto her feet. She goes over her body and sees that she is only wearing a pair of white panties that now are dirty and also white t-shirt that is now dirty too. Her body is bruised and bloody, but the worst part is her head, which is hurting like a bitch right now.

"How did I get here?"she asks herself and without expecting one, she gets an answer."You were brought here."

She immediately turns around and sees a figure of a man leaning against a wall, in front of her cell.

"Who are you? Explain why I am here!"she shouts at the figure, who calmly replies"You know who I am."

He steps out of the shadows and pulls his hood down, revealing to be Echo.

"You fucker."she yells and immediately tries to attack him, her hands can't reach him because of the bars holding her back.

"I'll fucking kill you asshole! Let me out so I could kill you! Face me fucking faggot!"she keeps yelling insults towards Echo, who isn't fazed by it at all. He calmly looks at her hands with metal bracelets around the wrist to suppress her magic.

She tries to reach out to him, but can't and Echo just look at her hands, before grabbing them.

"Let go off me asshole AAAAAHHHHH!!!"she creams out in pain, after Echo breaks both of her hands and lets go off them.

"Sit you ass down and listen."he says and then pushes her down by pushing her hands. She falls onto her butt and looks at her broken arms, before staring at Echo with face full of hatred.

"Now then Mari. Your part in my plan is simple. You are going to take the fall for the murder of the First prince and there is nothing you can do about it. I mean it was your dagger that killed him."Echo explains, but is interrupted by Mari.

"Why the fuck should I do that asshole. I can just say that it was your fucking ass and be free."

"You seriously think I didn't think through of it? I made sure that every step had been planned through and now, everything is set in motion."

"So what is your great plan?"Mari asks with an angry voice.

"My plan is...to tell you to go fuck yourself, as I'm not a cliché movie villian who will tell his plan to his enemy. That is just fucking stupid."Echo says and then continues"Also how I Made sure that they will not believe you is simple. They won't trust a woman who is having a conversation to no one."

Echo then just disappears, making Mari angry and shouting"Mother fucker!!!"

Away from her cell, the two guard who were put in post here, are looking towards her cell.

"What a crazy bitch."one of them mutters and the other acts"I know right. Talis to herself and Even breaks her own arms. Truly crazy."

"But she is hot at least."the second adds.

"Don't even try it. My father said never to stick it crazy."

"I'll try it anyway."he says and grins.

"Your choice. I won't stop you."the other replies.

As for the Royal family, they mourn the loss of their family member. Everyone is doing it their own way and Elyzas way is just to sit on the edge of the bed. She stares at her feet, when suddenly, she feels something. So he turns around and sees a figure of a man there.

"Scream and you'll bury your entire family."he says and so, she doesn't say anything. She only looks at him in terror, until he takes off his hood. Recognize him to be Echo, she should feel fear, as what he did to the hero, but instead, she feels joy. She doesn't know why, but she does.

So she hops into his chest and hugs him, while rubbing her face against his chest.

"Master. You finally came. I was so worried that Master didn't care about this servant."Elyza says with a joyful voice.

"No need to worry. You will soon be very busy."Echo says and pats her head, which makes her happy.

Away from the castle, on top of Cathedrals belltower roof figure of two females were seen standing. They were wearing mostly white winter clothes and on their face, they were wearing white masks. One of them had six lines and the other seven blue lines on it. The woman with seven lined mask had a sword and the other one seemed to be without any weapons.

"Are you sure this where Xeeht is?"the six lines asks

"I'm pretty sure."the other replies.

"Good. We need to find and kill that rogue."she says.

"Are you sure about that? He was your master."she asks her and she answers with a slight nod.

"Okay. Then lets go Veronica."

"Lets go Alice."
