Chapter 222: Theres Still Something I Can Do

You two stay here for now, the Third Prince, no longer trying to be polite, said this before leaving the room. I quietly opened the door and found a guard there. Too bad.

However, we did get more tea and food. The castle still seemed to be functioning properly, but I wondered what the situation was.

The escorts are supposed to be the best, but what are they doing?

Gracesh ish probabwy noth here.

Theyre a special force. There should be other units too.

He said there are other units. Im not sure what he was talking about, but Im glad we werent hiding under the bed anymore.

The room we were in was a normal room, or rather a magnificent room, with a toilet, washroom and bath. However, it was only a bedroom, so it wasnt that big. After finishing my meal, I quickly climbed onto the bed and stood up. Of course, I took off my shoes before getting onto the bed.

Lei, what are you doing? Nico asked in confusion, so I crossed my arms and raised my chin.

Im going tho jump.

Youre what?!

Im sick of sneaking around under the bed and not moving around much. We were told to stay here, but they didnt tell us we had to behave ourselves.

I jumped off the bed. It felt nice.

Youre not jumping. Youre just stretching and contracting.

I am.

How dare you call a lady something like a worm? Ladies arent supposed to bounce on the bed. He had pointed out that I was stretching, so I dived into the bed. My face was buried in the blankets.

Fun.

This is important.

Then Ill do it too.

Nico climbed onto the bed next to mine.

Hmm. Ill be scolded if I jump on the bed.

Theresh no one here.

Hmm. Ill do it.

Ai!

So, we jumped and dived on the bed and ran around the room. In the end, we had a pillow fight. We had too much energy since we hadnt moved our bodies in a long time. Im sure the racket in the room could be heard from outside, but no one came to check up on us.

After playing around until we were out of bed, I felt tired.

Hmm. Lets rest while looking out the window.

Window? Youre righth!

There werent any windows in the barrier room, but there are windows in this room. We rushed to the window.

Theres no veranda, and were on the third floor?

Ithsh hard tho eshcape thhrough thhe window.

I can probably do it, but you wont be able to.

Im sure Nico cant either. I know what situation were in, but the room faced the courtyard, so I couldnt tell what was happening outside. There were two soldiers patrolling the courtyard.

Nico who are thhey?

Hmm. Theyre not our soldiers, so they must be from Easter.

Theresh onwy thwo of them.

It was hard to believe that they had total control of the castle. We waved at them from the window, not expecting them to notice us. I think one of them glanced at us, but he went back to his patrol as if he hadnt seen us.

It has been two full days since Easter had invaded the castle. Today is the third day. They brought us lunch but didnt bring us any snacks. Snacks are also meals for toddlers. I was so angry that after my nap, I brought out the bread I had left over from breakfast which I hid in the shelf.

Youre really something, Lei

Nico looked at me in exasperation as I pulled out the bread from the shelf. But I didnt care.

Pour me shome wather Nico.

Ok.

Nico filled my cup with water. It was something that he had gotten used to doing over the past two days.

We talked about what we will do afterwards as I ate the bread.

We didnt get any snacks. They might not give us any dinner either. I think tonight is their limit, even if they occupy the castle. That was what we were talking about.

I dont know what will happen when they reach their limit. Will the Third Prince return to Easter while Kingdom is in chaos because Hollows appeared, or will he get rid of us and the royal family so that Kingdom will never be able to put up a barrier again? But

I donth thhinw he wiww do thhath.

Me neither.

We both nodded as I clapped my breadcrumb filled hands.

The Third Prince is probably the only one who would have got rid of us quickly, but he hadnt done so because his country ordered him not to. Then

We can shthiww do shomethhing.

What?

Reshonathe thhe barrier. (Resonate the barrier)

I taught Nico how to put up a barrier, but I hadnt taught him how to resonate the barrier. Lam-ojisama might have taught him how to do it, but I havent felt him resonate the barrier before.

We jushth need tho reshonathe ith a withthwe. Weww creathe a momenth for ush tho run. (We just need to resonate it a little. Well create a moment for us to run)

Just like what you and Luke did?

Ai.

I nodded strongly. This will be easy if he remembers what he felt at the northern fief. The longest Ive ever kept up a barrier was 10 minutes when I was a year old. I dont know how long I can keep it up right now.

Ithsh fine if ithsh near thhe capithaw. Ithsh fine if ithsh onwy for a withthwe whiwe. (Its fine if its near the capital. Its fine if its only for a little while)

Ill do it too.

Ai.

Two people are much better than one.

Contrary to my expectations, they brought us dinner, and earlier than Id expected. However, the menu wasnt much different from what we had had in the barrier room: bread and uncut fruit.

They probably didnt have any more time to pay attention to our meals.

We ate quietly without any complaints and waited for night to come.
