Chapter 3

Meanwhile Marguerite was standing by the window of her room ,and she was pondering over the chances of escape.Suddenly a little movement caught her eyes in the other wing of the building.Very known fellows passed there with the guide of a lizard. '-The others!- hope flashed before her.-But they probably have no idea,that I'm here.I have to let them know it.' Soft knocking was heard on the door. -Madam,your lunch.-a human girl walked in the room with a tray in her hands. Marguerite's brain worked fevereshly. -What's your name? -Pylore, madam. -Well, Pylore...Thank you for the lunch.Could I have another request? Can you hand a message over to somebody? -But madam,the emperor forbad.. -Pylore, do you have a lover? -Yes,but.. -Then you'll understand what is like, when you are forced to marry somebody while your real love take out is in the near, and he cannot help because a scared girl won't insted of help. The girl seemed to comply. -But madam,the guard will search me trough. -Have no fear! I'll say it. Find lord Roxron-he is the tall,brown man-and tell him,that he should look around in the chambers of Centuria. -In the chambers of who?? -Are you new here? It's no matter just tell him please!
------------------- By dinner, Pylore managed to achieve the job of being a waitress to the main table. She went round with the wine pitcher, and she tried to have acces to the tall, brown stranger. She couldn't think of better way, so she 'accidently' overturned the wine onto his trousers. Tribune would be angry in an instant:-Execute the clumsy! But John wanted to save the poor girl.-Let it go Tribune!It's just a little wine.It's not necessay to execute anybody. -You worm, I have mercy on you just for the sake of lord Roxton!-Tribune was still raged -Thank you sir.-whispered horrifiedly the girl.-If you'll excuse me, there is some lemon-juice on the sideboard, with that I can remove the stain. -It's good.-with that they drew back to the sideboard.While the girl removed the stain, she began to whisper. -Lord Roxton, the empress said to tell you that you should look around in the chambers of Centuria. -Beg your pardon? -In the other wing..Now I must go. With that she hurried away before their meeting striked the eyes of Tribune.John sat down thinking deeply. Marguerite sent a message that she is there. He knew if he wanted to see his love again, he must act during dinner the next night After dinner he went back to his room, and told his companions the news.
---------------- When supper-time came the others saved Roxton ,claiming that he wasn't feeling well and he went to bed so he would get the chance to find Marguerite.When he approached the ex-room of Centuria, it would be clear to him that the escape of Marguerite wouldn't be easy. The guard was duplicated, so he could get in the room of Marguerite only trough the window. Some rooms before, he climbed out to the sill and he carefully crawled to his aim. After some slips he successfully reached the window of the woman and he looked in. Marguerite was laying on her back and she was watching the ceiling.She was waiting the whole day to know if her plan was successful. Suddenly she heard a little noise from the window and she sat up.She could see how lord Roxton-like a naughty kid -was climbing in her room. -I've never thought that once a member of the Upper House would climb in my window-said the woman. -And I thought that you would be happier to me-said John, a little offended, but the woman was alredy in his arms and she clinged to him like a shipwrecked to a life belt-I believed that you would never find me. Tribune is totally crazy... But she couldn't finish,because the hunter kissed her.When the kiss ended,John tried to fit the story together. -So,Tribune kidnapped you because he thinks that he cannot find a better empress than you? -Isn't he right? -Of course, my love.You're a born monarch. -I also think so.-said a new voice....
