Safe bet [49]

("!" kinda heavy)

The impostor looked light but that wasn't the case. no matter how strong you are, when you pick up something that looks light, your brain automatically sets the right amount of power to lift it. Like a small bar of gold, the size lies and you'll realize it once you try to lift it. In a short span of time your brain makes you think that the object is heavy but in reality, your just not putting the correct power to it.

"there we go"

He used the correct power, now the guy was pretty much a small pebble to him. He ran back to the capital, it may be a bad or bad idea idea but if you were to choose from the options of. Become a nation wide criminal and be hunted by hired adventurers that are most likely Diamond ranks considering the king might be the one to order it, or take the imposter to justice. It might be the wrong guy but Ferris will likely die even if he runs for it.

"I hope this is the right guy, this is possibly my safest and most dangerous bet. I might even die" he said with hope

"Rise and shin-"!!""

The warden was about to "take care" of Ferris but he wasn't there, no signs of escaping, no signs that the gate were somehow unlocked. It's like Ferris just disappeared into thin air leaving no trace behind, however he did notice something glowing on the floor.

A feather was surrounded by a slight rainbow mist, it glowed yellow as if it was gold. The warden picked it up to physically check it, suddenly his eyes opened wide and he forced himself to kneel in front of all the empty rows of cells that stretched for miles. He suddenly whispered the words while his body was sweating and shaking.

"please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me"

Each words he said sounded very sincere. Everytime he said that sentence, his body slowly stopped shaking and sweating as if the chains of the weights that held his body began to crack and break down. After ten seconds of that sudden phase he stopped talking but he still kept that kneeling position. He kept that position for almost 30 minutes until one of the guards dropped by to see him but only to find the warden in the position,

The guard saw the empty cell were Ferris used to be so he instantly called the king himself but leaving the warden.

"hey.. hey warden" Charlotte said to the kneeling warden

The warden finally went back to earth and had realized that the king was watching him from behind. After noticing the king, the warden knelt to his direction.

"My king, it's my pleasure to meet you" the warden greeted

However the king noticed something was a lttile off about the warden, the king always visited him to look at the prisoners. The warden was always sadistic to the detained but right now, he was the opposite. He looked genuinely happy.

"W..warden are you feeling unwell today?" the king asked

"my lord, I've never felt better... In fact i feel like im a new man"

"please, stand up" the king requested

As the warden stood up, the king noticed something glowing inside his closed fist. The king quickly asked about it, out of curiosity.

"this?..... I don't what this is my king" he answered

The king was intrigued by the glowing feather, so much that he immediately ordered the warden to give it to him. As soon as the king's hand touched the feather, his legs became weak and almost fell. Charlotte quickly tried to help him but was stopped.

"wait, I can handle this myself.... wow... I feel.... pretty good" he told her with a suprised face

"this feather... It's like it came from an angel" the king said in awe of the angelic feather

Suddenly a guard came in with urgent information that has to be delivered to the king, Ferris that seemed to be holding his doppelganger suddenly went inside the castle's throne room out of nowhere, that's what the guard informed to the king. The king immediately and quickly went to the throne room to meet Ferrisand he did so with haste.

"Father! Your walking to fast please slow down or else you'll tire and collap-

"No need my Charlotte, I feel very active today" the king said with joy

The king walked so fast that his daughter had to keep up with him, the king is old but now he acted like he was in his prime age. Charlotte looked happy but yet at the same time terrified with the sudden change.
