Marcel and the Cursed Prince

Chapter 39

Back at Rose Enchantée, Captain Cain, along with his henchmen, rushed to Emmita's house.

The men break the doors and windows.

Emmita is shocked by the ambush.

"Emmita!" Cain shouts at her as he enters the house.

"A deal's a deal, and I don't want to waste my time!"

"What are you going to do?"

Two nurses from the psych ward enter the house.

"I'm sorry Emmita, but your delusions have gotten out of hand." said Cain.

The nurses then proceed in restraining Emmita.

"What are you doing?! Let go of me!" cried Marcel's mother.

"Imagine going out of your way to lie, just so you can stop my marriage with your son."

"Let me go! You will not get away with this Cain!"

Cain puts on an evil grin, while Theodore watches behind, looking worried.

As the nurses drag out Emmita, Marcel's vehicle arrives on time to stop them.

"What are you doing?!?" He cries as he steps out of the car.

"Marcel! Well... You're here. And you look fine." said Cain.

"I'm not here to talk about my outfit Cain! Let her go!" Marcel shouted.

"I would do that, but believe it or not, your mother's recent behavior has been quite concerning lately."

"What do you mean?"

"She's been claiming that the cursed prince, a myth, is actually real."

"But what if I tell you he is?"

"Oh c'mon Marcel. Do you even have anything to prove that?"

"I'll show you proof, if you let go of my mother."

"Clever deal. Why should I go with it?" Cain asks him.

"You would do anything for me, right?" Marcel asked manipulatively.

Cain smirks.

"Do as he says." The captain tells the nurses.

The nurses let go of Emmita and she rushes towards her son.

"Marcel you're back!"

"Mother!"

They embrace each other.

"Get ready to ride the ambulance?"

"What, why?"

"Just trust me."

She does as what she is told by her son, and subliminally walks away to go towards the front door of the ambulance.

"Where is she going?" Cain asked, feeling suspicious.

"I just asked her to stay at the side." Marcel answered.

Marcel grabs the compass that Lester gave him.

"Here. It's a compass. The prince gave it to me as a souvenir." Marcel explained while not giving too much information about it.

Cain and his henchmen begin laughing.

"Seriously? For all we know, you only bought that at a local store here. Face it Marcel, that 'monster' that you are both claiming to be real? It's not!"

Silence fills the air again.

Marcel begins to speak.

"You know. Maybe you're right."

Cain tries to smile.

"Because the only real monster here is YOU!" Marcel exclaimed.

He immediately runs towards the driver's seat of the ambulance.

"What are you doing?" Cain asked while looking confused at what Marcel was doing.

"Mother, go inside!"

Marcel pushes the nurse who is waiting to enter the driver's seat.

With him and his mother finally riding the vehicle, Marcel quickly starts the engine, and drives away from the Barangay back to the castle.

"WHY ARE YOU STILL THERE?!? GO AFTER THEM!" Cain orders his men aggressively.

"Theodore, you ride with me!"

The captain quickly gets his keys to start his car.

Theodore follows with a worried look on his face.
