I wipe away the tears flowing down my face confused.

I don't cry a lot..... and if I feel the need to cry I do it when I'm alone. Crying in front of people just feels embarrassing, it's like jerking off in front of people emotionally.

That's a weird thought.

''Sigh''

I seem to be sighing a lot lately, but whatever this is... it can wait. I have more pressing matters to deal with.

I force my eyes away from the princess's mother and say,

" Eric... take them both to our room. Be careful on the way, make sure that no one notices them."

Eric nods his head and starts walking over to them.

Before he could reach them, Tiana gets out of her mother's embrace and runs towards us, surprising all of us.

I get ready to defend Lecia just in case she was going to attack us again but she ignores us and moves past us.

She looks down at Lucius who was still knocked out with a certain coldness in her eyes.

Out of nowhere, she starts kicking him with all her strength, in response to her kicks Lucius grunts in pain.

Shit.

If he woke up now then, he would see Lecia with us.

" I'm sorry.", I say.

" Wha- "

I knock Lecia out again and quickly rush over to Tiana and hold her back from kicking him any further.

She struggles with all her might but fails to break free from my grasp, understanding that resistance was futile she stops struggling and goes silent but I don't miss the tears flowing down her small round face.

" It's his fault..... h-he hurt mama...", she screams at no one in particular.

" It's going to be alright.... but if you hurt him... you'll be no better than him so calm down, Princess Tiana."

This does the trick and she finally calms down.

I pass her to Eric, who looked shocked

I silently watched as they retreated back to our room.

Is it that surprising that Lucius was the one who tortured them, I mean the man maybe paralyzed but his hands work just fine.

Eric should think better of me now right ?

Instead of going back to my room, I head back into the prison and start walking towards a cell that contained a certain man from an organization.

That's right, the member that 'Half- Moon' breaks out of the prison is here now, during the princess's rampage, he miraculously survived against all odds and still had to wait another year to be rescued.

The man's name was Walter Ivon and he's one of the executive members of 'Half-Moon'. There were mainly ten executive members behind 'Half-Moon' with their boss being the ex- hero who was ranked first in the hero rankings, The Enchantress.

The Enchantress might be one of the most complex characters I've ever written. She was also one of my favourites as well. Having her owe me wasn't such a bad idea was it ?

I'm going to break that guy out of prison.

I mean he's going to be broken out in the future, so doing it a few years early doesn't matter all that much, does it ?

I use the key that I had gotten from Lucius to open the door of the cell,

Inside the cell, a man was chained to the wall. The wounds on his body looked fresh. His crimson eyes silently observed me and his pitch black hair blended with the darkness of the cell.

" What took you bastards so long ?", the man asks in an annoyed voice.

" So you're not part of Half- Moon ? ", Walt asked walking beside me.

We were heading back up to the library.

I shake my head and answer back,

" Don't worry, I'm a friend."

Walt looked unconvinced and starts to speak but I cut him off and say,

" Think Walt, think. If I wanted to harm you, you'd already be dead."

Walt lets out a chuckle and says,

" Good point."

~~~~

" So, what's your name ?", Walt asked curiously.

" You don't need to know.", I answer back.

I'm not ready to reveal my identity to Half-Moon just yet. I'm unbearably weak right now so if I reveal my identity now, I become to vulnerable.

" So, how am I supposed to get out of here ?", he asks.

" I'm sure you'll manage by yourself."

I wanted to part ways with Walt soon since-

" Oh, I almost forgot.", he walks back to where Lucius was lying down.

Walt takes one of the wooden chairs present in the library and I watch as he smashes Lucius's head in with the said chair.

After making sure that Lucius was dead, he walks back to me with a gentle smile on his face. Lucius's blood had splattered on his face giving him a very eerie look.

That's right.

I wanted to part ways with Walt as soon as possible because he was a.....fucking psychopath.

~~~~

I knock on the door to my room.

Walt and I had parted ways much to my pleasure, I had removed my disguise on the way here.

The door opens and Eric greets me with his signature frown,

" What took you so long ?"

I enter inside the room and close the door behind me,

" I was making sure that we didn't leave any traces behind."

I look inside the room to find that Eric still hadn't completed the job I had given him, seeing the puzzled look on my face Eric says,

" We have a problem, the princess hasn't awakened yet..."

Now that we had broken these two out, the next step was too get them the hell out of the Unity.

For that, I had make a whole other plan.

I had given Eric, the two skill books that I received from Patrick that contained a single skill called ' Gender Swap.'

I'm planning to change their genders, the guards would be looking for a very hurt woman and girl but they won't find them.

" What are we going to do ?", Angela who had been standing in one corner of the room.

She's the most important part of the plan, as she's a healer she could heal all physical wounds on their body to a certain degree, it took a lot to convince Eric that she wouldn't be under any sort of danger and she herself wanted to take part, so Eric had no choice but to cave in.

I had expected the possibility of the princess not being awakened and there was a simple solution.

The corners of my mouth rise up as I say.

" It's going to be fine."

Anyways why do I feel like I'm forgetting something....

Meh, if I forgot, it probably isn't all that important.

Lecia wakes up with a start,

her head was aching and she looks around the library confused.

' Where is everybody ?', she thought before lying down again as she felt dizzy.
