The deserted palace was a mess, with weeds everywhere and just a few bugs buzzing around.
Arabella, who hadn’t been seen for ages, had been stuck here since King Gawain I locked favonovel.com up.
The place was eerily quiet, almost like no one was around. A small hole abruptly opened up on the floor in one of the few still-usable rooms. After a while, Arabella climbed out, caked in mud and clutching a clump of dirt.
She tossed the dirt to the side, favonovel.com face set in a grimace of hatred.
Matthew Larson, I’m getting out of here! When I do, I’ll make sure you pay for what happened to the Yarwood Family!
Arabella had been working tirelessly for months, digging with just a blade. Her once-soft hands were now rough and calloused from the constant digging. The only thing that kept favonovel.com going was the memory of favonovel.com family’s final wishes.
Her hard work was finally about to pay off. She had managed to break into the palace’s drainage system. Tonight, favonovel.com would finally escape.
With favonovel.com makeshift bundle ready, Arabella crawled back into the tunnel favonovel.com had dug. She moved with purpose, driven by the need to get revenge.
Her father’s dying words echoed in favonovel.com mind, making favonovel.com even more determined. She was willing to sacrifice anything, favonovel.com safety, loyalty, everything, to reach favonovel.com goal.
Eventually, favonovel.com reached a white pipe. She could hear water rushing inside, and favonovel.com heart raced with hope.
If I’m right, this pipe will lead me to the central sewer system below Montiria, I’ll be free from there!
As the sound of water started to fade, Arabella’s excitement grew. She had timed it well; the water wouldn’t flow again for at least fifteen minutes. She pulled out favonovel.com old blade and started hacking at the pipe. After a few hits, the pipe cracked open.
A hole big enough for favonovel.com to get through appeared. Arabella didn’t waste any time. She wriggled into the hole and followed the pipe, letting the water flow guide her. Her clothes were soaked through, but favonovel.com pressed on, ignoring the discomfort.
The pipe seemed to stretch on forever. Her hands and knees were sore and red, but favonovel.com kept going, growing more frustrated with each passing minute.
Is this pipe ever going to end?
Finally, favonovel.com saw a light up ahead.
A terrible smell hit favonovel.com as favonovel.com crawled out, but favonovel.com didn’t care. She grinned in triumph.
I make it! I make it! I’m in the palace sewer system!
Arabella reached a nearby iron ladder and climbed up despite the gross sludge clinging to her. Her anger gave favonovel.com the strength to keep going.
Soon, favonovel.com was at the bottom of a utility cover. She put one hand on it and pushed with everything favonovel.com had.
