Elizabeta's life was a roller coaster, things hardly turning out the way she had planned it. Currently she was sitting, chained up like a criminal, in the fortress dungeon with the rats. The second the guards found out what she had done, they had thrown her in without a second thought, not even letting her tell her husband or her kids what had happened.
Before the arrest, after hearing Arthur's explanation for what she thought was going on, she was dumbfounded. The Englishman in front of her told her that they were training, and he was exhausted, so the prince was dabbing him with freezing water. That would kind of explain the noises, but the choice of words and phrasing didn't really match up with the situation at hand. Like c'mon, anyone would have thought they were getting frisky in the training hall.
"Hey, Artie... swallow it for me," "look it's already in your mouth, you might as well."
How did that not sound like sex, especially with all the groans coming from the brit? Elizabeta isn't a peeping tom, so she was going to walk away and pretend she didn't hear that, until she heard the prince say 'I'll just put that in here' and a series of distressed 'Alfred stop's.
Don't know about you, but that kind of sounds like rape.
So, that was her best friend in the whole entire world, she couldn't just let get violated like that. She had just come from the Kitchen and her frying pan was already in her hand, so she used it as a weapon to protect Arthur.
That fucking degenerate.
After she scolds the prince about rape being bad, and about how he should be kind to his mate, the brit has the nerve to tell her to 'stop jumping to conclusions' and that 'she should watch where she swings her pan'. She was watching where she swung her pan, that's how she hit him in the first place.
The prince looked about ready to pass out, his eyes were unfocused, he was talking to himself, there was even a few specs of blood the floor. She didn't even realize what she had done until she heard the brit cry out to the barely conscious body of the prince. She instantly felt bad when the brit started tearing up, and felt terrified as the prince's eyes rolled to the back of his head.
She was going to be in so much trouble.
After the American was officially pronounced knocked out, the brit tells her what really was going on, and how ridiculous his savior was. Elizabeta apologized, telling her friend that it was a complete accident. The guards escorted the body, and the Englishman to the infirmary to get checked out.
Arthur was opposed on going at first, because he wanted to hide Elizabeta or something, but the guards took him by force, claiming that if they didn't give him a checkup too that the prince would be very upset with them. They swooped him up, and carried him kicking and screaming to the infirmary.
Bart asked had asked the Hungarian what had happened, and despite her better judgment, she told the truth. Why did she tell the truth? She doesn't know, she figured lying would send all the guards on a wild goose chase and agitate the prince once he woke up.
So now here she was, sitting on a dirty mattress and staring into space, praying that her friend would come and get her out. It is the least he could do considering that she's in prison solely for loving too much. Hopefully, however the brit manages to convince the American prince to set her free and not punish her too hard.
However, Elizabeta knew that her chances were slim.
Word has probably already spread about, so the only way for the prince to maintain his image of mercilessness, would be to make an example out of her. That usually meant death. She has two kids and a husband, she can't die now. She has no choice but to accept her fate, she did assault the prince of the united states. Even if she did stop a rape, Alfred was still prince, and she was still a maid, there would be no hope of her getting out of her punishment.
But she had a chance now.
A slim chance, but it was still a chance.
She was just about to force herself to fall asleep when something was thrown into her prison. She scrambled around for a little bit before she found the object, a piece of paper. She opened it up and read it, eyes widening in shock. It read
