[center] ++ KYUUBEE ++ Kyuubee was too afraid to undo the spell incase the twins tried to attack him once he let them free, and was more than happy to let them be someone else's problem. But to his dismay, Cordelia began to recite a spell that would undo his and he felt his heart drop. Between the tough choice of staying there and letting the twins rip into him, and fleeing, the latter seemed much more desirable. The curse lifted and he could see that Belvedere was already gearing up to lunge at him, even with Bellarino hanging off his arms, and that was enough for him. " Wow, look at the time, I must get going." He quickly made a spell that would transport him into Bellerophon's locked room and executed it before he had to deal with the terrible twosome. The twins were still outside the door, that much he could hear, but they lacked the power to enter the locked room, so he was safe....for now. " Let this be a lesson to me, " He sighed, sitting down next to the unconscious prince, " I should've known the worst possible situation would happen to me." He could only hope that the twins would forget all about this incident by the time he saw them next. ++ BELVEDERE ++ Unfortunately for Kyuubee, Belvedere forgave as rarely as he forgot. He was still cursing his name long after Kyuubee left, seething in anger. " I can't believe that fucking stupid animal messed this up. How dare he trap US in the same trap as [i]him[/i]," He spat out, looking over at Belisario. " And [i]you[/i], " He sneered at Cordelia, " You couldn't even protect us from this stupid trap, you fat bitch? What use are you if a fucking animal could out smart you?" " Hey! It's not her fault! If you hadn't been chasing me none of us would have gotten caught in this trap in the first place!" He heard Belisario pipe up. The mere fact that Belisario thought that he could speak back to him like that made Belvedere's anger flare up even more and he was seconds away from lunging at him and slapping all that confidence out of him. But at that very moment Madiana came rounding the corner, carrying a dish in each hand that were stacked with sandwiches. " Prince Belvedere! I made the sandwiches just like you asked! I even made enough for Prince Bellarino as well!" ++ BELISARIO ++ For a second Belisario actually thought Belvedere was going to kill him, and if it hadn't been for Madiana's sudden appearance, he would have. But the need to speak up and defend Cordelia had been too strong that he couldn't just sit by and watch him degrade her. He watched apprehensively as Belvedere's murderous expression changed into passive indifference as Madiana got closer and Belisario had never been so happy that Belvedere's little emotional games with his Protectors existed until now. He over heard Belvedere persuade Bellarino to eat with him, and with a bated breath, he watched as the twins left with their Protectors. Their obsession with the flower had been replaced with anger towards Kyuubee and the flower laid forgotten on the floor. He picked it up triumphantly, " They forgot it!" He beamed at Cordelia showing her the flower. " Sorry about Belvedere," He frowned, thinking back to all the horrible things he said about her before, " He says a lot of mean things to others without thinking about their feelings. You aren't useless, anyone could have fallen in that trap!" From a distance, Belisario saw Belladon approaching, his signature scowl in place. " I saw Madiana earlier. I take it that she reunited with Belvedere?" He asked Cordelia, but Belisario nodded anyway. Belladon's cold gaze shifted to him and a moment of awkward silence passed before Belladon decided to speak up, " Valis is in the infirmary. The castle is no longer under lock down, so you can be on your way." He said matter-o-factly and began to walk away, " Come Cordelia, I have a lot to do." Watching as they left, Belisario as finally left alone. He wasn't sure how getting some ice cream with Valis had ended up with him being pseudo-tortured by Belvedere and Bellarino and had left him as the sole protector of Bellerophon's precious flower, but he doubted anyone on Wiz was having a worse of a day as him. ++ DIOMIRA ++ Diomira turned at the sound opening and was relieved to see Lavelle enter. Making conversation was Flaery was awkward enough, but being stuck in a room alone with her was the worst. She was eager to talk with Lavelle, hoping she would relieve some tension, or atleast feel the same guilt about Noem as her. " She's been doing since Valiant came. She's been asleep for a while, but the rest will do her good. " She said, glancing at her watch. Flicking her gaze to Flaery and then back to Lavelle, she lowered her voice a little, " Lavelle, do you know when we'll start shifts again? Not that I want to leave the Queen!" She clarified quickly, " It's just...." She trailed off, looking back at Flaery again, " I want to visit Noem again before.....to see if theres anything I can do." She whispered. She highly doubted there was anything she could do or say to postpone his execution, but at the very least she wanted to speak with him one more time before it was too late. ++ MADRIEL ++ The Knight nodded hastily to Abiel's words, glad that everything had gone to plan so far. If everything on the itinerary had gone without any interference, the Priest Symphony should be doing his part at that very moment. Without the magic restraints holding him back, he should have enough of his magical power back to stage an escape. " Good, good." He said, thinking everything over once more while he had the chance. Having Noem escape would make him and Abiel look bad in the eyes of the King, but not enough for them to be fired, or beheaded. Noem was the Queen's Protector and it would only be natural that he was stronger than the both of them. But still, the possibility of them loosing their jobs, as well as their covers still hung in the air. But this was why he was apart of the rebellion, to save others from Belzeneff's cruel rule. He knew that when he joined there would come a time where he would have to risk everything to save another. And now the time was here. " No, there is nothing else." He finalized, hoping that Abiel was as ready as he was. " Let us head to the cell now. Priest Symphony should be finishing up." ++ KYUBEROS ++ His meeting with Belzeneff had been consisted of a lot of shouting, throwing, and overall complaining. Mostly done by Belzeneff himself of course. Actually ALL of it had been Belzeneff. Kyuberos just had the luxury of sitting there and listening to the King rant about why Bellerophon was getting visions and not him. The fact that Belzeneff cared more about who had received the prophecy rather than what the prophecy was about wasn't surprising. The King prided himself in being Oz's chosen prophet and whenever one of his children received one rather than him made him less special. Which is why incidents like this one were kept on the down low with only Belzeneff, himself, and Demostenes knowing. But this particular prophecy was different than the others in both intensity and meaning. When Kyuberos had told Belzneff about the possibility of a rebellion, the King had merely laughed. Rebellions meant close to nothing to Belzeneff, since there was no one stronger than the army he had built around himself and he was confident that nothing was going to happen. " But Bellerophon received a vision about being stabbed." Kyuberos had pleaded to Belzeneff to understand. Even if he hadn't taken Bellerophon's warnings about the rebellion when he first heard him, he wasn't foolish enough to do nothing about it. But Belzeneff was so confident that nothing was going to happen that he dismissed Kyuberos after only a few minutes after calming down from his anger tantrum. " I'll talk to Oz about next time I see 'em," Belzeneff grumbled, which was the only reason Kyuberos agreed to leave when he was ordered out. Some clarification from Oz would help clear his thoughts, but the looming warning about corpses and destruction clouded his thoughts. Six months was a long time away, and it seemed near impossible that the castle could be overtaken at the state it was now... The chime of his phone was enough to bring Kyuberos back to the present as he checked it, hoping that it was Kyuubee giving him an update about Bellerophon's condition. Instead, it was Judicial, the Head Executioner, asking him about Bellerophon's presence. Kyuberos remembered that with Noem's incarceration came an immediate death sentence, and with Bellerophon being an executioner, he would be the most qualified to do the job. But he was in no state to get out of bed, much less put an end to another's life, and he sent a message back to Judical, explaining Bellerophon's condition with relieving that he received a prophecy and suggested that the execution be postponed.
