The guards led me through the winding corridors of the palace, their grip on my arms firm but not painful. I struggled to keep my composure, my mind racing with thoughts. of betrayal, anger, and a desperate need for escape. They finally deposited me in a dimly lit cell, the heavy iron door clanging shut with a finality that sent a shiver down my spine. I sank to the cold stone floor, my body trembling with a mixture of fear and fury. How had it come to this? I had done nothing wrong, and now I was facing trial for crimes I didn't commit. To my
A few hours passed in agonizing silence before the cell door creaked open again. To surprise, it was Elara, her face pale but determined. She slipped inside, a bundle of clothes and a small pouch clutched in her hands. "My lady," she whispered urgently, kneeling beside me. "I brought you some things.

"Elara," I said, my voice breaking. "Why are you here? You could get into so much
trouble."
She shook her head, her eyes filled with resolve. "I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. You've always been kind to me. I won't abandon you now."
I took the bundle from her, my hands shaking. Inside were a simple dress, some bread, and a small dagger. "Thank you," I said, tears springing from my eyes. "But what can I do?

I don't want to die here." I can see in her face that she wants to convince me more. But I'll definitely have the

there's a secret passage that leads out of the palace grounds. It was used during the last rebellion, but it's been forgotten by most."
My heart pounded with a mix of hope and fear. "How do you know this, Elara?"
"My father was a guard here during the rebellion. He told me about it in case I ever needed to escape," she explained. "I can guide you to the passage, but you'll have to be quick and careful."
