Free Knight by RA. Gil Page A

“That I went somewhere no else can find me because I was depressed or something.”
    “Even I don't find that believable. Last time I checked, even if humans were somewhat oblivious, they weren't fools. It's best if you stay here.”
    “Oh come on!” She whined. “I wanna go home!”
    “Until a final decision is made, you are to be detained as prisoner.” The Court Leader said.
    Valeriana gaped at them in shock. “What did you say?”
    “Guards! Take her away!” Aeron ordered, sweeping his hand in front of him.
    “We advise you not to take off that necklace whenever you are standing in the grounds of Valemnia. It gives you the ability to tolerate the power pressure. Without it, you'll crumble to ashes.” Aleara said.
    Valeriana felt her stomach twist in trepidation as she looked down at the necklace that hung around her neck. It had a jade button embedded in a gold plated figure. It was an image of a person holding an orb against her chest.
    “Hey! I still have many questions!”
    Men in uniform clothes flooded the room and dragged an unwilling Valeriana away. Even after being taken outside, they could still hear the sound of her incessant shouting and screaming. Seraphina sighed as she watched the poor girl getting dragged away, but advised the guards to handle her as gingerly as possible. Still, regarding the fight she was putting up, the request didn't seem plausible.

 
    Chapter Six ♣ Jail Break
     
    V aleriana groaned as she leaned back against the rough surface of the wall. She sat on top of the bed, twiddling her thumbs as the frame creaked noisily under her weight. Her eyes scanned the cramped space of the jail she was locked up in and she couldn't help but groan once more as she assessed what kind of situation she got herself into.
    She didn't even know where she was. There were still so many questions she had to ask.
    “Hey,” she said to the guard sitting quietly outside her cell. “Can I go to the bathroom?”
    The guard, a brown-haired man with brown eyes, shot her an annoyed look through the bars before looking back ahead of him. “You just went a while ago.”
    “I'm bored . . .” She grunted. “Can you give me something to eat?”
    “You just ate.”
    “How about something to entertain myself with?”
    “You are not allowed to have anything with you within that cell other than your body and your clothes for precautionary measures. I was given strict orders not to let you be in possession of anything that might aid you in your escape.”
    “But it's boring . . . I'm bored to death.” She complained. “What am I supposed to do? I haven't taken a bath since the time I was taken here and I stink.”
    A few seconds of silence and Valeriana whined again, the guard grunted in annoyance at her continuous bothersome complains but didn't pay attention to her demands nonetheless.
    “I need to do something or I'm going to go insane!”
    She stood up from the bed and stretched her stiff muscles. The bed made groaning noises as she popped her knuckles and squared her shoulders. She did nothing but sleep, eat, and stare into space for god knows how long.
    “Watch me whip!” she began. “Watch me nae nae!”
    The guard shot a glance her way curiously, eyeing her as if she was some sort of weirdo. Valeriana ignored him and went on with the task of entertaining herself.
    “Every day I'm shuffling!” She did some shuffling somewhere along the chorus and threw in some random steps along the way since she didn't exactly know the whole choreography.
    The guard looked away, muttering something about kids these days and crazy girls who didn't act properly . Valeriana disregarded his offending comments and continued.
    After she felt worn out from her little dance session, she slowly started to grow bored out of her mind once more. She sat back on her bed and tapped her feet impatiently.
    What was a person supposed to do when practically bored rigid?
    One answer.
    Valeriana chuckled. “Hey, Mr.
