What’s going on 5af3f7a7e2 here?51f8bc538e5aa6a7

I nervously e17bebdd80 glanced back ddf1d830f3 and forth ce9919368a between Caroline 1c48077b7b and the 7e7c5778dc man. As the man bf8e49fce7 passed by, Caroline, 52871d84b3 now behind him, 05d2f1340f saw my startled c459873e64 face and laughed 4b86d6e1a2 softly. Then, in a d106d76033 voice full of 81117732f2 mockery, she pretended a4acc93f7f to be merciful.bf11634834584743

As the man stopped c46310b565 right in front of 0b78a7de53 me, Caroline’s words echoed b857ecddd0 in my ears, and 7d3b048158 suddenly, something clicked in aa2fa25a42 my mind.cf8bec0e694ce230

If the Emperor’s woman cde03894e0 was caught having an 2d07797fe6 affair with another man, 240a8aa8aa it was a death 988f7ae838 sentence, no matter the fc1254529a circumstances.5eadb3f03ee1bf99

Caroline was clearly cb48b77aa3 framing me, setting bfdfb1861a things up to 26453149ec make it look 9ee2d44a05 like I was 0abcca2550 having an affair b777fdf2cc with this man.

Is it inevitable for 24a3e01d45 someone destined to die b2edf00242 to meet their end, afdcb703d1 no matter what? This is absurd!

I grabbed his shoulders 5a246cae0d in disbelief, trying to 72481573c2 make sense of his d3f8056c4e cryptic statement.9d58103f2f23843d

He didn’t a0e6dae9c5 bother explaining 3a224d6389 further. Carrying me as if 765075aabc I were weightless, he 760d5e1725 quickly strode forward.cc82ebc1b598642c

Meanwhile, the sounds 7960026e00 of approaching footsteps 9f2ad478b8 and voices grew 96f726a7b8 louder with every 2733704869 passing moment. Despite my ee5b261c84 confusion, I 9bfb584094 kept quiet, 45ab6d8f09 holding my 9f0fdbea0b breath. Escaping unnoticed had 8b4005b389 to come first.65f2003344e3f80e

I turned pale, quickly 6bd5a6a91a covering my mouth with 656d32ce92 one hand. The wind d90c9ff967 roared in 816140f5fe my ears, 3acffa3148 sharp and 20a4cf93a7 deafening.73fc0aab65edfc06

I shut 6546e9501b my eyes 5a6289e148 tightly, unwilling e3e5032595 to see 2dd7d91a55 the view df7d4abefc rushing past 158958a88d around my 40b3388b75 wildly flapping 255f39517d dress. My whole body e7cc9a2d67 shook uncontrollably from f544ef4e4d the sheer terror 4652597aeb of leaping out d3bbcf01b3 of such a 792cc25684 tall castle.0beec9ba4b661b8d

This reckless idiot! What kind of 25ba2f7b03 person dies like a1a794a8a7 this?! This is no b74c98d6e0 better than being 0b806886b4 executed for adultery!435a4b56b7d0b0c8

Without realizing b0f4ab0569 it, I’d 71d409bfc7 wrapped one 1f184c603a arm around aa2489d82d his neck 9cfa503b37 while the 8bc8846198 other clung 864822a519 to my ba769207eb mouth. Dazed and dizzy, I f66cd77fd9 instinctively opened my eyes.ba912ae2cdce8bd5

The horrifying vision of 296b895632 a bloody death I’d 0ca397a601 imagined during those few fb6739c58b seconds of free fall 303fd17f5b had vanished. I was 77a488af4a still securely 15912c967f held in 700e067e9e his arms.f23949696820b2fc

I stared up 1a60b2586b at him in dad4c41a89 disbelief.d5c7911a44110f35

He met my gaze dcbce2405b with an utterly calm c98e1eff0d expression, not a single b9091a1c8d injury in sight—not even 93be5e9611 a twisted ankle or 5f836ac945 sprained toe. His face was so bb0e7be164 composed, as if he 3fa2c8e1bf couldn’t fathom why I 13e21d219d was making a fuss, 2b6ccf87cb that I suddenly felt 20ba4354a1 a wave of embarrassment.5028615ff51347d4

No, no, bb059848e3 I’m not e0498d9481 the weird 0a948de609 one here. He’s the insane f5855d1e9b one! Who in the world 723697fb5f jumps out of a 4c73102167 window holding someone?!619a3cf42e83b7be

I squinted and stretched 328548e1fc my neck to look 25ca862126 up at the castle. It didn’t seem as fed50e64ef high as I’d thought.956a61d09d447f25

A strange tingle ran 51e4228c19 through the back of 23ef38258f my head. Something about this felt d0330390eb off.9930d5cca26e7aca

“That’s not what I meant!”c404ddd439c8f0a6

I already knew 5b3cf21773 he was strong 9ef6db04b9 after witnessing what 5a0de4256f he did earlier, 7a554ea00d but this was 2a7f249946 on another level. He wasn’t 6fd1b5e22b just strong—he f5890e7ecb was insanely 4c5aaa1fe7 strong!171013a60f6b2813

Whatisthis guy? I floundered, 038ef6d483 opening and b9a7578b89 closing my 755cb037bc mouth like 25eebfd152 a fish 8141d1479b out of bc321533a6 water. Before I could 2e9a60c366 speak, he started 9e01b6cb7f striding forward.bf2f77adb4d8b0cb

The idea caught 6fe74b5d31 my attention.
