A Prisoner

"Be alive Seina. Get whatever you deserve!"

"Be alive!"

The voice kept ringing in Seina's head. The body that had been facing the mirror did not budge. Her mind wandered to the words Shuu had spoken to her at the tavern. The dark and cramped room contained only the light that came from the windows during the day. The window was almost covered by an old wooden cupboard.

The light seemed to enter into the white dress Seina was wearing.

Suddenly the sound of the door being opened interrupted her reverie, Mrs. Werqo who opened the door immediately showed a worried expression when she saw Seina's reddened eyes seemed to be holding back something.

"What do you think? Do as usual. You are always expressionless. I don't want your makeup to fade" She said briefly as she applied another powder to her face which contained several healed wounds.

Seina only lowered her eyes in response to those words.

"Everyone likes to get married. You will be a princess today. You are lucky to marry a noble witch from the land of Arta" Mrs. Werqo stopped applying her powder and stood facing Seina.

“I waited outside for them to come. You better not do anything that can make your makeup fade” continued Mrs. Werqo while covering Seina's face with a white hood then she turned and left Seina in her room.

While outside, Shuu was seen running hastily in the scorching heat to where Seina was. Shuu had been asking here and there about where Seina lived. Everyone did not know the name, until finally, Shuu told the characteristics of his stature he finally got information on Seina's whereabouts.

"Why are people so mean to give him the nickname Curse" Shuu complained as he took a breath.

The Werqo family's house was getting closer in front of Shuu. Shuu started to think about which way he could enter and meet Seina without getting caught.

Shuu started climbing the brick fence from the side and saw an open window on the west side of the house. He crawled up and entered through the window. When he managed to enter, suddenly heard the sound of a train heading for his house. The train was the train to pick up Seina and was already at the main door.

Shuu moved carefully and scanned each room slowly for Seina. Shuu started in the upper living room of the house and saw Mrs. Werqo who was welcoming and making small talk with the officer who was going to pick up Seina. Shuu felt like he didn't have much time, then suddenly he saw the door leading to the small room below and was in the east corner. The small door was decorated with small white trinkets.

Shuu immediately rushed cautiously towards the door and managed to enter. He immediately called out to Seina gently, but there seemed to be no response and no one was there.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps moving towards the room. Shuu immediately rushed to hide behind the old cupboard.

Shuu heard the distinctive sound of a door opening.

"Seina. Where are you?" Werqo's voice sounded a little worried that she didn't see Seina's whereabouts.

The officers immediately took hold of the swords they had hidden, they were getting ready to kill Mrs. Werqo because they thought they were cheating.

Shuu who was behind the closet saw a white dress lying on the floor right under his feet. The dress looks familiar. He seemed to have seen it at the sacred fire ritual earlier. It's like a Gezela country wedding dress. Then, Shuu looked out the window and saw a focused girl running forward and running with all her might. That woman is Seina. However, if Shuu came out, then Seina would also be caught seeing Seina's distance wasn't far. Shuu also felt that there was no other way out.

Shuu came out from behind the closet wearing a simple wedding dress and covered her face with the hood.

"Finally you came out too" Mrs. Werqo immediately approached Shuu and took her hand to get out.

Shuu gave in and followed Mrs. Werqo from behind. As they walked out hand in hand, Mrs. Werqo felt strange about the palm she was holding because it felt so smooth.

"Ah, it's good that the medicine I have given to you" thought Mrs. Werqo.

The officers immediately removed their hands from their swords. Then, give the gold coin to Mrs. Werqo. Mrs. Werqo looked at the coin full of enthusiasm and happiness.

"You guys take these useless slaves. I can even buy some slaves with this money" thought Mrs. Werqo.

Mrs. Werqo and the officers took their leave to bring Shuu. Shuu was ushered into the carriage and he immediately got into the carriage.

The carriage was going to Mrs. Werqo's house. The individual Shuu in the carriage was trying to see the scenery from the white cloth covering. He tried to find Seina and estimated of how long it would take for Seina to be out of reach of these officers. Shuu was also aware of the expectation that some of these officers would also be able to capture Seina from afar.

The coachman suddenly looked back at Shuu's nervousness.

"You can take the hood off. It's all right."

Shuu was immediately worried to see that because his disguise would be revealed "It's not legal for the bride to open her veil before the wedding is over"

"Hahaha" the coachman burst out laughing. "Are you sure you want to marry? Teacher Deny is not like that, he is a very wise person. I'm not sure about that. He is not attached to us. Is it just together"

Shuu just sat hearing that and tried to digest what the coachman meant.

"Never mind, there's no need to talk," said the officer who brought the horse and was beside Shuu's carriage. "He's just a 12-year-old kid. Make him follow us, after that our job is done. Speed up the train speed" he continued.

The coachman gave a small smile and the speed of the carriage. Shuu felt it was okay to let him come along. He wanted to know why someone took Seina if it wasn't for marriage. Especially Deny's teacher. He knew that name, the name of the famous Master in Vigza Academy. Shuu tried to confirm that.

The train had arrived at the ship they were going to board later. Shuu got off his carriage and went straight into the ship. He was immediately ushered into a room with sofa-like seating and waited for him alone.

"Wait, why is it only me here? Why are they all out?" Shu's mind.

Shuu immediately thought about whether she would later be raped. Shuu panicked and tried to find a way out.

"Get me out of here!" Shuu shouted behind the door but no one opened the door for him.

Then a well-built, old man came into the room. He is Deny's teacher. Master Deny came in, immediately locked the door, and saw Shuu's worrying attitude.
