"What are you guys doing here? Don't you know you could be killed?... Well that is not the solution now, you guys should surrender why we escort you to the prison. I and Roselle will think of a way to rescue you guys." Mia said, using her mind link skill.
"They are the ones, the thieves that I saw this morning..." The maid said as she appeared behind Anabelle. "Oh my gosh, see how they beat up all our guards. They should be killed immediately for what they did."
"No!" Mia shouted and both ladies turned to look at her. "I mean, we can't kill them like that." She said.
"Why won't we?" Anabelle asked. "Give me a good reason why we won't kill them."
"Err.. the thing is, about the gemstone thing. We can't let them die like this. We know how useful they will be to us. They can act as a support for our armies while at war. So I would say that we should just Imprison them for the time being. We could train them to become war soldiers for us. Or what do you think? Did I suggest well??" Mia said, trying to convince Anabelle.
"Nope, not at all. I don't like your suggestion." Anabelle answered.
"Okay then."
"But, I reconsider and until you are elected as the next kingdom leader, they won't be set free. So, if you are not selected as the next kingdom leader, they won't be set free, nor would they be among your army." Anabelle replied and immediately, a few knights came inside the room as they arrested Greg and Kyra.
"Don't take us away please.." Kyra said, almost shedding tears.
"Can I at least have a spicy chicken feet? I'm so hungry that I can't move my feet." Greg said as he tried to reach for the chicken feet that was in a dish on a table.
"Bye guys." Roselle said silently as she waved a little. But then, the maid saw her and the gaze she gave Roselle made Roselle act like she was smoothening her long hair.
"Ahem! My hair is getting blown by the wind." Roselle said before exiting the room.
' Mia should have allowed Anabelle to send that stupid maid away.' Roselle said within herself, scoffing at the behaviour of the maid.
"Let's go down to business." Anabelle said but Mia had a worried look on her face. She's wondering how she would rescue the two kids that were taken into prison without letting Anabelle and the maid to know about it. She need to come up with a plan on how to rescue the two of them.
Anabelle took Mia to the throne room of the palace while Roselle went inside the room given to them to contact the others, James and Lydia. She need to know how they are faring as they have no powers yet. It will be difficult for them to get out of trouble if they ever have one. And since Kyra and Greg are not there to help them out, she should at least know where they are and maybe, inform them of the situation they all are in.
The throne room is a very large place and several chairs are placed down so that visitors that came to see the king will be able to sit down while having discussion with the king. There is a throne at front, placed on a very high podium that can only be climbed by going on the step. The crystal lights of the throne room has been switched off since it was morning. But there are some crystal light placed near the throne, about nine it total.
Anabelle went over to the podium as she climbed up to the throne and Mia also did so, but as she stepped on the floor of the throne podium, the whole throne room lit up with lights as crystals that weren't switched on started to lit by themselves.
The crystal lights that were near the throne, seven of the nine crystals lit up and Mia was wondering what was happening.
"I said it!" Anabelle shouted excitedly. "But we still need to continue the electing process."
"What is that??" Mia asked.
"Oh, don't mind me.. I'm just saying." Anabelle said, dragging Mia towards the back of the throne.
The lights of the crystals and everything died down as soon as Mia got to the back of the throne.
"What happened?" Mia asked, she was getting confused.
"This is where we are coming to. The celestial gemstones are hidden at the back of the throne. We need to raise the throne up if we are to get the crystals." Anabelle said.
"What? we don't have super strength, how could the two of us raise this heavy throne up." Mia retorted.
"So what do we do now??" Anabelle said.
"Why don't we call the male prisoner that we Imprisoned to help us with this." Mia Suggested, reffering to Greg.
"Did we Imprisoned anyone??" Anabelle asked, pretending to not know that she knew that Greg was imprisoned.
"Yeah, the two thieves that we caught this morning at the store room. The male has a super strength power." Mia replied.
"Really, how did you know that?" Anabelle asked as she started suspecting something.
"Err... Your maid mentioned it in her words when she came to report that there are thieves in the store room." Mia said.
"But how come I didn't hear it from her. I thought she said that she don't know what power the male have but said that he is a fighter while the female is a movement slower." Anabelle said, arguing that she heard what she heard well
"Arrgh, perhaps you weren't listening when she mentioned that the male has a super strength power." Mia said.
"Oh really? I guess I've grown too old and my mind has been so occupied that I wasn't able to listen to what my maid was saying." Anabelle said.
"Why don't we call him to help us out?" Mia said. She's trying to come out with a plan that will let her set the two kids free.
