Chapter 26 Convincing David For The Prison Break

"Hey what happened, Why is your face sweating as if you have just run a marathon?""Elandor, we have just checked the situation of Parul and it's not optimistic."

"I'm afraid to tell, but she is being treated too harshly and maybe soon forced to confess. Also, her father said he will wait until tomorrow before going to the royal court to demand justification for her arrest, but you know so much can happen in one night."

"I promised the lady that I will help her!"

"She must be waiting for me or her father to get her out."

Suddenly, a maid came running

"Lady Jasmine, Lady jasmine It's so bad", she was screaming at the top of her lungs.

Jasmine looked at her and her face turned ugly, she had sent this maid to keep an eye on Parul's house in case something unusual happened.

"What happened?"

"My lady, evidence was found at Parul's house and Lady Evelyn has already sent news about it to the Princess."

"The guild master could just stand as all things happened in front of his eyes."

On hearing her David suddenly slumped to the ground.

"It's over, with evidence found she will surely be found guilty."

"But I promised her, she held my hands and looked me in my eyes full of hope, saying she didn't do anything wrong while she was dragged away."

"Elandor tell me if you have any idea, if you can somehow help, I promise to owe you a big favour."

Seeing him like this, my mind was full of disdain, seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'Hmm, what's the use of being a protagonist if, in the end...you are gonna end up as a dog for heroines.'

'I'm not a hero who is gonna play saving a beauty,

I only need to plunder luck to make myself strong, so what if I am manipulative and villain-like, I knew the moment I came to this world, that I was all alone.'

'I want to live a long life and live happily.. enjoying various wonders this universe can offer, for that I need power and need to become strong fast, but I know those so-called Gods or whosoever is in power will never allow a mortal to jump out from its lowly bounds.

So I must do everything I can to reach my goals.'

I held his shoulders and showed him a bright face before saying, "David, let's discuss things while having a coffee."

We chose a nearby restaurant and ordered three cups of coffee.

I enjoyed the aroma and taste of the drink which was the restaurant's speciality ignoring the impatience on David's and Jasmine's faces.

After gulping a few times I finally opened my mouth,

"David, the situation of Parul is very grim. There is almost no chance for her to escape. Tomorrow morning she is going to be brought to the royal court where she will probably be sentenced to life imprisonment but if the thing she took is very important, she may even face the death penalty."

"I know Elandor, there was still a chance since there was no hard evidence but Evelyn was one step ahead of us and quickly visited Parul's house."

"Aaah! I'm feeling so helpless."

Seeing David act more like a fool drowned in Parul's mature charm, I couldn't help thinking,

'Such a fool, your fianc is sitting right across from you and you are busy worrying about a girl with whom you have not even once held hands.'

So I took a sneak peek to see Jasmine's reaction,

sure enough, her head was lying low and her small hands were clenched tightly.

There was a sense of frustration on her face which she was desperately trying to hide.

I suddenly thought,

Maybe I can work on Jasmine before Parul?

Now that I think of it, I had already made Rose mine, and she has almost all authority as legit successor to the guild master.

Therefore, even if I conquer Parul I won't plunder much luck because David won't be able to use her connections and influence anymore.

As a result, I quickly made new changes to my plan.

"David, there is only one way we can save Lady Parul!

But you will have to suffer as a result."

"It's no problem as long there is a way, I don't care how much I have to pay, I can definitely

afford it", he replied with hope in his eyes.

"David, it's not about money!"

"We need a quick action because we only have tonight's time. Once she is taken to the royal court her fate is sealed."

"So what do you suggest, Elandor?"

I went close to him and looked carefully if anyone was paying attention to us. Then, spoke softly

"PRISON BREAK"

"What? ..No absolutelynoooo!" saying Jasmine was first to stand up and banged her hand on the table.

"Are you out of your mind? You wanna make us all criminals for helping a prisoner escape?"

I ignored her and paid my attention to David, "As long as Parul escapes, we will still have a chance to collect evidence in favour of her. Once she has sufficient things to prove she is not guilty and all of it is a conspiracy, she can come back and fight her case."

"Plus, when it's proven that all charges against her were wrong, she won't be pursued for the matter of escaping from the prison."

"Think, once she is taken to court and sentenced to life imprisonment or death penalty, Is there any chance for her?"

"No David, this idea is too wrong, we don't even know Parul so closely to become a criminal for her."

"Let's leave it, we tried our best. Now if she is lucky she will survive, otherwise we can only see it as God's will", said Jasmine in her panicked voice.

I took their attention once again, "No lady Jasmine, you misunderstood! It's not us who will become criminals, it's only David who will help Parul in Prison Break"

"What no..absolutely noooo!", this time she directly jumped at me and grasped my shirt with her small hands.

"Listen first, if all of us become criminals, who will help David and Parul to do investigations and who will help them get a safe shelter and provide regular updates regarding the situation."

"Also, there will be guards who will search everywhere once the prison escape is successful and we will need a strong person to protect Parul. Thus, we can only count on David."

I saw both of them taking their time to process the information I fed them.

Sighs!, "David, I only spoke this idea because I saw the zeal in your eyes to help someone at any cost, I thought you were like a hero...who is ready to fight against the world to protect someone if they are right."

"If you think it's too much, let's leave everything to fate."

Sure enough, my emotional card worked as David's hero's mentality was instantly ignited, "I'm ready!"

"I will do it since only I can do it."

Jasmine cried out, "No David, I can't see you becoming a criminal."

"Jasmine, it's the only way. I can't think of a better option."

Seeing both of them conversing, my lips subconsciously curled up. 'Finally, we can catch David.'
