"Ace!" Rose yelled, stepping up to her. "Let him go this instant. What do you think you're doing!"
"Princess Rosalina," Ace said as she knelt and lowered her head. "Please forgive me this once for not following your orders. After knowing he holds such power, I can't let him go. Only King Laxon can decide his fate now. You of all people should know how dangerous those who can cast forbidden spells are."
Rose didn't say anything. I could tell she agreed with Ace, but it didn't feel like they were on the same page. The guard on my back got off as Ace got back up and pulled me up. Rose walked up and apologized that this was happening.
"Don't worry about it. Although, it's funny that we're going full circle. I got cuffed when we got kidnapped together, and meeting you again, I get cuffed," I joked to an unamused Rose. "Listen, it's okay, plus I can't fight back anyway, or someone would get upset with me. Ain't that right, Lulu?"
