Immortal Witch: Eldest Daughter Of A Duke

In the Combre House, Dan and Josh are in a room with some of the man working in the Combre House.

Dan is just beside Josh, and he questioned, "How is she?"

Josh clicked his tounge, not bothering to hide what is he feeling right now, "They are really despicable, they didn't give Lilibeth anything to eat since morning, and if I didn't gone to checked her, the two guards guarding her may do unforgivable act."

"What do you mean?" Dan questioned.

Gritting his teeth, Josh answered, "The two guards are talking shit infront of Lilibeth, Dan don't ask too much question, remembering it makes my blood boil. You can go check her now, so don't forget to bring food. I must report this to captain immediately. He will hate us for sure for not doing our job properly."

Dan nodded, he somehow have an idea what the 'despicable act' meant. "Okay, be careful, even if captain know about this I am sure that it will really not helped Lilibeth. But.." he lowered his voice saying, "..make sure to tell captain that Lefina have some assumption that this two girls maybe have some tie to ancient human. If this is the case, it is not just the problem of Lilibeth and us, the whole kingdom is in a dangerous situation."

Josh understand, he hated the act of Combre's House, they are doing what they want just because the head is the advisor of a country, it may cause downfall to the kingdom if this goes on.

Underground of the Combre House, Lilibeth is sitting inside the prison. The two guards that are guarding her is giving her a lecherous glance, it cause Lilibeth to cringe in disgust. If Josh didn't come earlier this two may do something to her. Thinking of that Lilibeth is thankful that her young miss is not with her to suffer this kind of humiliation. 'I hope young miss is okay.'

Big steps soon heard coming in the prison. A man in his guard attire unhappily looked at the two man who is guarding her.

"I heard from the guard outside that you've argue with the person who accompanied that girl." The leader said pointing his chin to Lilibeth.

One of the guard depended himself, "Leader, Why bother helping them? Sooner or later this girl will surely fall on our hands." The guard think that the leader is not like himself today, bothering with this small things.

"Shut up! There will be a special guest of the king. I wanted you to keep low profile until the guest leaves in this kingdom, this is the master command."

The two guard curiously asked their leader, "Leader, who is this guest that is so special that we need to keep low profile?"

The leader looked at them unhappily, "The third prince of Pheoston Empire."

After hearing that Lilibeth also looked at the leader with her sparkling eyes. 'Third prince.. young miss fiancee is coming.' There is a hope in the eyes of Lilibeth.

"What!? Why is he coming here in this small kingdom?" one of the guard asked.

"I don't know. I just warned you, so you better keep silent for awhile." After saying his warning, he left in the prisoner.

The two guard look at Lilibeth, "You're a lucky one huh." They can't touch this girl when the prince of a capitol is here, bad news may affect the house and they may suffer consequence.

Lilibeth wish that he could talked to someone right now. He wanted to passed a message to prince Lenester to help their situation.

Luckily after the leader left, Dan soon came after. He brought a bread and a water. The two guards saw that ang glared at him, "No food is allowed for a criminal."

Dan looked at them, he angrily said to them, "Lilibeth is not a criminal, besides isn't she here just because your young miss who is a troublemaker accused her."

Ofcourse the two know that the 3rd miss of Combre House is arrogant that she can accuse innocent people. But so what? Without power and wealth, you can only blame yourself for being weak. The two smirked, "Even if she is not, what can you do?"

Dan grin at them, not showing any weakness. "The guild are working on the case now, they are looking for an evidence to prove her innocence. What do you think they will do if they found out you starve to death a girl who is innocent?"

The two guards look at him like he is some kind of idiot, 'Do you think they can find evidence? Only a dumb idiot will agree to be a witnessed.' They let Dan pass the prisoner thinking that they need be low-profile and Dan is a dead meat for helping the girl who offended the Combre House.

"Here make yourself full, We are doing our best outside to prove your innocence."

Lilibeth is touched, "Thank you sir." She get the bread and bottle and began to eat. She is really hungry because the guards didn't guve her any food.

Without thinking her manners, she began speaking, "Sir, I have a request to tell you."

"What is it?" Dan kindly answered.

Lilibeth said with a serious expression, "Please give me a pen and paper, I will passed a message to someone who can help me."

Dan become curious, the one who can help them in this situation is a powerful person above the Combre House. "Who is it?"

"3rd prince of Pheoston Empire, Lenester Huntingdon."

Dan is dumbfounded, The Pheoston Empire is the capitol of Phoria Country. This empire is the center of power. Dan is just a gate guard so how can he possibly have contact to a noble and a powerful prince at that.

Dan looked at Lilibeth serious look, and found that she is not joking, "I don't have a power to do that." Dan can't even leave his post without the captain's order so how could he possibly go to a powerful empire. 'How could I..-"

"Prince Lenester is going to come in this kingdom." Lilibeth said in a low voice.
