Meeting with the wizard
After the they finally deal with each other. For a while Jazmine gonna do her way of things, and is that meeting with the wizard that was accountable for false sins, or maybe real.
Jazmine walked down to the dungeon. With the same blonde hair girl, that they meet earlier.
"Who is she, by the way?" She asked Jazmine in her head.
>"That's Maron, she's my- ahem! Probably works better if it's– Our right hand."
"Right hand. So she'll always follow us around wherever we go?"
>"You can say that."
Maron stepped closer, and commands one of the guards to open the dungeon's gate.
"Open the gate!" She commanded.
"–but, ma'am, The place is too dangerous for the princess." Guard said.
>"You hear that girly, it's dangerous. Let's go-"
"Shut up", she clead her throat, "it's fine, there's no need to worry. I can handle whatever lies ahead."
The guards looked anxious, they don't want the Princess to get hurt and later give their asses to emperor.
"Princess orders!" Maron commanded again.
The guards nodded and reluctantly opened the gates.
"Here you go, Princess."
They continue the trail, as they see they were few more stairs down ahead.
"Curse you Jazmine, more stairs?"
>"Don't blame me, I'm not the architect."
As they continue to proceed to go downstairs, Maron was holding a torch and was walking Infront of Jazmine.
Even though it's afternoon. But it looks like it's isn't. The dungeon is so dark even sunlight couldn't reach its rays down in this dark, eerie dungeon.
As the continue further. They finally reached it the cells. They were multiple rooms, cells. And they weren't organized, They were few of the crimanls lying around. And even few died, their skeletons remains says a lot. The ground was dirty and muddy and they were also water droplets falling down every second.
The place was completely silent, and it was killing her.
>"Oh, this is bad, I told you to go back."
"We're finally in, and we're gonna finish this."
Suddenly, something crawled, on Jazmine's dress.
"Yikes!" Without even looking, she shake the dress and the creature fall down and run away, that's where she looked, it was a rat.
>"Haha!!" Jazmine Burt's out laughing, " woah! Thank goodness I wasn't in that place."
"Shut up"
"Is everything alright, Lade Jazmine?"
Maron asked, her tone betraying no emotion.
"I'm fine."
Maron sighed, "you know that guard was right. You shouldn't come to a place like that. It's dangerous."
"I just wanna meet with that wizard, you all called that."
>"You sounding very stupid, when you say that."
"Alright."
Maron the pointee out one of the cell where this wizard was. And soon enough he was spotted.
He was tied to a heavy metal chains, his arms behind his back, kneeling on the ground, his head was down as well. And looking up, even for a second.
He was wearing a golden heavy necklace on his neck, and centre it was ruby gem.
Maron walked closer, putting a few meters distance from the bars. And Jazmine was behind Maron.
"Don't get too close to the bars. He's dangerous." Maron said.
Even from a few rays from a torch she could see his resemblance.
"What's this... Thing... Hanging?"
"That's, what the magicians called a sealer."
"Sealer?"
" That is to prevent them to use their powers. With that hanging we're safe, but still we need to be cautious."
She felt bad for that wizard. Everyone should deserve to live, that's what she believes in. But, when it comes to the accountable for bad deeds... Well, that's different scenario. But she must continue her investigation, if he really is.
She waler a bit forward, just to beside Maron.
"Uh... Hey! Can, can your hear me?"
>"Pft! Too soft won't get you no where."
When that wizard didn't reply or made any gesture. Maron then kicked her foot to the bars, making a loud irritating sounds, that was echoing to the silent dungeon.
She was flinched when she did that.
"The Princess ask you something, you Bastard!" She yelled, loudly. Her angry voice also echoing to the whole dungeon.
>"See, just like that. A little rougher."
The wizard, slowly looked up. Groaning from the pain of those heavy metals around his weak body.
He looked up at both, Jazmine and Maron.
He looked exactly like, when Jazmine saw him at the court, but he looks weaker, now.
Before she could ask the wizard. The wizard spoke first, "*please... Kill me."
He sounded weak and exhausted.
Maron was astonished, while she was horrified.
