Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 121 A dreadful escape.

Doris couldn’t see Enzo, but his voice was all the confirmation she needed. Doris gripped the bars of his cell. “Enzo, are you alright?” Doris said quietly. They didn’t have much time before that boy alerted someone of the shift change. They were probably already on their way here and every breath was a waste.

“As well as I can be, I suppose.” Enzo said with a weak chuckle. William fumbled with the keys beside her as he tried to find the match in the complete darkness. Doris felt as if she could hear all of their breaths echo in her ears along with the beat of her heart. “I didn’t think you would come for me.”

“Of course we would. You’re in this mess because of us.” Doris said gently. William stiffened beside her. A moment later, the lock sounded and the door creaked open slowly. “You never let us down when we needed you.”

“I appreciate your lies, they sound so sweet coming from your lips.” Enzo groaned as he must have forced himself to his feet and over to them. “You truly didn’t have to go through all this trouble for me. I expected you both to already be on your way back to the castle by now. I’m sure they would have realized their mistakes soon enough and let me go.”

“I wouldn’t hold your breath about that.” William muttered and brushed past her.“ How are we supposed to get him out of here without them noticing? Everyone knows what he looks like, he’s their leader.”

“There’s a reason they keep the cells so dark down here.” Enzo said. William paused his steps. She couldn’t see either of them but she could sense William anywhere like he was a part of her. “They easily forget that I am the one who helped design this building. At the end of the hall there’s a cellar door that leads under ground. They were originally made for servants—“

“We don’t need a history lesson on your building, on with it.” William snapped. Enzo only laughed. Doris wanted to step on his foot but she knew she wouldn’t have been able to find it in the darkness. Unfortunately.

“He’s delightful, glad to see that hasn’t changed a bit.” Enzo shifted his body and brushed by Doris. “It travels underground straight to the kitchens where we can slip out of the back door before they realize I’m gone. At least we have the keys.”

“We’d better hurry, then. I think the guard that watched the door was going straight to Mr. Hugh to ask about the sudden shift change.” Doris said. Enzo gripped her hand in the darkness, it almost startled her.

“Let’s go, then.”
