Chapter 12-Prison



Capital prison.

This prison was constructed on the level of classification from basic to the dangerous level of criminals, the most dangerous prisoners were generally held in the deepest level of the prison. Human beings for the demon family belonged to the category of harmless little animals, so, obviously, they were locked up in the outermost layer of the prison.

These imprisoned human beings were much luckier than the demon criminals, at least they could catch the glimpse of the two moons in the sky of the demon world through the window.

However, it was a pity that the villagers detained here were not in the mood of appreciating it, no matter who, walking towards the scaffold would not have any mood to appreciate anything like flowers and plants.

The villagers were collectively locked up in a place where hundred people could accommodate in it, and the environment was not sustainable for these ‘harmless little animals’.

The putrid and damp smell filled the whole prison, from time to time monster roar would come from the surrounding, making the hardworking, simple and inexperienced villagers to be frightened and suffer in the middle.

“Lord Marina, do you believe that female magician can really escape from the Demon kingdom?”

In the prison, there were not only villagers locked up, but also the merchants from the caravan who had survived.

“I don’t know, but it is our only hope.”

The caravan owner’s name was Marina Kien, she was already a seventy-nine-year-old lady, there were many traces of time left in her body, she had many wrinkles and white hair.Furthermore, she had tranquil and calm kind of attitude.

Marina was probably the calmest human being the prison, her servant was in a state of panic similar to villagers.And even some guard who has thought that it was impossible to get out of prison have started to show their dark sides.

 Fortunately, the jailers in the prison were cold-blooded and had first taken care of the scums who bared their fangs against their own kind.

Because to control the guard’s rebellion, the number of caravan members had reduced from more than 20 to only her and her servant, the goods were also completely destroyed.

This disaster incident was sufficient enough to collapse any businessman, but Marina was still calm, she has spent all of her life surviving the disaster; her husband suddenly died for an unknown reason, her only child fell seriously ill and left her, and she said goodbye to the life of the luxurious aristocratic wife.

In order to shoulder her husband’s estate, Marina had been continually traveling years to trade, she had recently bought a real estate in the magical capital Nolan for preparing to retire from traveling her business officially, however, fate once again showed its malicious smile

Merina had survived the tragic death of her family and was certainly not afraid of death.

But that doesn’t mean she had given up on her survival….

“Even if she succeeds in  escaping the demon world, she would not be coming back.”

The servant said in a desperate voice.

The villagers imprisoned here had an only superficial understanding of magic like to use the magical element to create a fire  or to make ice.

The attack magic like the tiny fireball to create in hands was already considered to be difficult, it was same for Marina, not to mention the high-level transfer magic.

Their only hope was the female magician, she was the only person who could escape, before fleeing, under the request of villagers she had promised ‘she will find reinforcement and save them!’

Many people have held to this spider silk-like hope, but Marina knows spider’s silk would always be a silk, it would break off.

The strength that the prison jailers had shown moments ago was enough to prove it all, she had hired some mercenary guards who had demon hunter qualification, but those guards were killed in a minute by those demon jailors.

It was like cutting vegetables.

The young magician was very less likely to escape in the midst of crisis.

So, Marina was already thinking about writing a suicide note.

Suddenly, once again sounds of footsteps came from the prison, at this moment, the desperate cried and sobs in the cell had turned to silence because of fear.

More than thirty villagers turned their eyes towards the dark corridor, and the masked jailor dragged a new human in the cell.

When the villagers in the cell saw the human, their cry of fear had turned to silent whispers.

Because her appearance was very…. Attractive, the word beautiful could not describe the thoughts of these villagers, attractive look was the most appropriate.

Ino could feel the sight of human being in prison falling onto her, she had been living under like this sights for very long, so she was accustomed to it.

“Your name is Belle, a passionate, curious and a brave human girl.”

Joshua’s voice was still echoing in her ears, Ino didn’t understand why he wanted her to play the role of a human, but she was still doing her best.

Ino walked towards the window in the prison and stood tiptoe to guard herself.

“Child, how did you get caught here?”

Marina was sitting next to the window and looked at the beautiful young girl, she felt regret at the thought of that girl getting killed by the demon in the future.

“I don’t know….my village suffered a bandit attack, my father and mother made me run away… I escaped into the oak forest, and then was caught by a group of demons.”

Joshua had already helped Ino to make her identity and background, and sure enough, after hearing the sentence parents let her escape, many villagers in surrounding showed the compassion and sympathy.

In particular, Ino’s performance was flawless, a naive girl who ran desperately away from the village without knowing anything.

“What a poor child, those abominable bandits should be hanged on the scaffold!”

“They deserve to die.”

Ino encountered the same incident, so she quickly gained the empathy and trust of the villagers, and wrath towards those wicked bandits, nearby Marina also showed sympathetic expression.

“I  guess nothing will happen to your parents.”

Merina thought and comforted Ino with these words.

“.Nothing happens….I .. before I fled, I saw the bandits taking away my parents….”

Ino didn’t say anything more, her voice was slightly trembling, the result of the following scene was predictable.

“If you want to cry, you can cry, you will feel better”

In Marina’s opinion, Ino needs complete support, but Ino cleansed her tears and perfectly annotated the meaning of the word strong.

Really a strong child, Marina looked at Ino and found the motherhood in her which was not present for a long time.

If her child was still alive, she should as big as her?

“If you don’t mind, may I know your name?Marina asked.

“Belle”

Ino answered according to the script given by Joshua.
