Second Treasure Of The Kingdom

chapter 5 : plan C

'F*** PLAN B'

in a swift movement y/n grabbed the foreigner hand that has reached for her with her hand and the pig's head with another one and slammed it with full force on the metal bars

* heavy breathing *

her chest heaving as she took in shallow breathes

' it's now or never '

"HEY ! ARE YOU CRAZY ?"

guard nb 2 started shouting from outside the cell when he saw the other guard going limp , soaking in his own blood
his hand shook as he reached to the open door and when he was just about to set his foot inside the cell a rope made of cloths was wrapped around his short neck and tightened

* gasp * " ARGH * GASP * gak "

the black haired girl pushed the second guard on the metal bars as she continued to choke pig nb 2 who was trashing and struggling to free himself

and when he stilled down and was confirmed unconscious by her she rushed out of the cell

holding three scrolls to her chest with the rope hanging on her shoulder
huffing while running through a narrow odd empty hall that connected a lot of other cells together

she was stoped by the sight of a white bird in a cell

locking eyes together the goose and the run-away girl kept staring at each other in a confusing staring contest
__________________________________

y/n escaped the dungeon's area followed by a surprisingly silent goose and was stealthily walking around the palace's chambers looking for the kitchen

' i need to stock some food before leaving'

a honk from behind her made her blood run cold and nearly alarmed the guards that were passing by

she stopped walking crouched down and looked behind her

"shush " signing with her hand on her mouth telling the goose to stay quite
as if the not so big goose understood he flapped his wings but something here was weird

'huh?' the goose turned his head to the side as if he was motioning to something
moving her eyes towards the direction the goose was looking

' a... door?'

when she stoop up and stepped a bit closer to the door the white bird passed her running through the slightly open door

" wait !" hissing under her breath she couldn't stop the loose goose and didn't have a choice but to follow him
hurring behind him she entered the odd room looking around she figured out what this place was

'a pharmacy?'

as she took in her surroundings while looking for the little goose an idea poped in her mind

' i can make use of some medicines here '

"honk" a small honk ringed in her ears and made her look under a table by a corner

" this is why you brought me here huh?
smart goose" lifting the fluffy creature and puting it on the table she noticed some papers stacked messily

taking a paper and reading the content her small red lips's corners lifted up in a mischievous smile

'this is just what I needed '

not rejecting the appealing chance to loot the pharmacy for what she thought was useful

she reached for every bottle that was related to tending to injuries, dealing with headaches, painkillers and some antidotes in case of poisoning following the instructions of the paper that had every meds name written in with what each one was for and carefully puting the meds in a bag she found laying around

when she was satisfied with her loot she got out with goose in her embrace and the bag tied to the rope and hanging on her back

" now to the kitchen !"

sneaking around the oblivious guards and passing maids passively without making much voice

she successfully reached the kitchen after a long trip between spacious halls and numerous floors

* sniff sniff* an appetizing aroma tickled her nose

the moment she has sat a foot in
and almost made her forget to check if there is anyone in the kitchen if it wasn't for a maid's voice that came from behind a counter

" his highness demanded to bring his breakfast to his office again , if you're done cooking it hurry and send it there"

crouching down and leisurely hiding in a room that was inside the kitchen

she signed to the goose to stay silent as she waited for the right moment to start collecting the stock of goods

and when it was silent again she placed the duck down and reached for the half full bag it appeared that the room they hid in was the room they had been looking for :
the storage room

treating herself to the waited goods without shying out she stocked in as much as the bag could take in and loaded her luggage on and took off to the nearest balcony she could find while the not-for-so long-silent bird followed

" okay birdie all we have left is to jump using this rope"

* honk*

the white goose flapped it's wide wings and jumped in y/n 's hands declaring that he understood

the black haired girl carefully but firmly tied the rope to a baluster then tied herself , the goose and the luggage

" 1 , 2 ,3 "

lowering her body down slowly using both her feet on the walk and her tender hands on the rope while the goose suspiciously stayed put

* thud*

" huh " a reliefed sigh that she didn't notice holding escaped from her tightly shut mouth

now scanning where she landed she realized that that she was near a horses stable
" hmmm"
__________________________

y/n tightly hanged on to the running horse gripping his hair firmly with a shaking hand
while securing the goose and the bag with the other one
oh and don't mistake the shaking for anxiety here because she was too far from anxiety quite the opposite actually
she was shaking from excitement
' is this how cale felt when he looted ? '
chuckling to herself as she guided the horse towards the north east she finally could relax a bit

the trip to the forest of darkness took quite a time
two days or three days on horse back without any rest y/n couldn't keep record of time anymore from exhaustion
' i think we should take a break here being in the forest is enough I'll go in further later '
loosening her tight grip on the horse's hair
the fierce animal slowed down his pace until it has completely stoped
hoping down as the motion stopped y/n leaned her sore back on a nearby tree with the goose still attached to her
The blue eyes that were puffed from sleepless nights softened as her gaze locked with the bewitching nature , feeling lighter after escaping the bird's cage she was forced to stay in
" finally i can relax-"
* Blade stabbing a tree sound *
a striking dragger came from the shadows and stabbed the tree a few inches away from her eyes right beside her head
