Meanwhile...

"Kozakura-san, why are we running?" Hiyori Asahina, the only daughter of the second high standing duke, asked Mary, the granddaughter of the highest standing priestess, as they ran through an underground hallway.

"I don't have any more time to explain Hiyori-sama." Mary said. "But I have to get you out of here."

"I don't understand anything at all." Hibiya Amamiya, Hiyori's escort to the ruined party, complained while running along side Hiyori.

"Stop complaining and continue running Hibiya!" Hiyori scolded. "It's not nice to just yell like that at the high priestess' granddaughter."

"Sorry." Hibiya said looking away while he continued running.

Mary smiled and continued to focus on to where they were running. She didn't actually know where she was going but she had to continue running. She had to stay away from that monster.

As she continued running, she had stopped for the ceiling on the top front of them had collapsed.

"Leaving so soon my queen?" the dark voice said.

"Are you not yet tired of calling me your queen, Kuroha?" Mary said in anger.

"You know.." Kuroha said as he stepped forward. "Your mother is the reason behind the princess' cursed power."

"It was an accident." Mary said. "She didn't mean to strike the queen's pregnant tummy."

Kuroha laughed. "You always say that."

"How come you escaped from your prison. Shintaro-san and I made that cell of yours..."

"And you actually thought it would keep me there forever. That cage was nothing but some shit!" Kuroha stepped forward again.

Mary didn't move even though Hiyori's grip on her went tighter and tighter. Instead, while Kuroha took one step at a time Mary was slowly waking her snake.

And as Kuroha was about to dash forward Marry immediately woke her snake. Her eyes turned bright red and she stared at Kuroha, and he froze.

"Woah!" Hiyori and Hibiya said together in shock.

Suddenly, Mary saw an opening up ahead. "Come on!" Mary said pulling Hiyori and Hibiya along with her.

They finally got out, but it was snowing very hard. Mary quickly made something out of snow with her own magic. Hiyori and Hibiya were eyes wide as she did so.

"Kozakura-san, you could make such things?" Hiyori said in amazement.

"I'm born with magic." Mary said. She looked at what she had just made. An ice sled with two snow horses up front. She immediately heard footsteps rushed Hiyori and Hibiya to get on. "The horse will take you through the woods. It will stop in front of a girl with dark blonde hair. Her name is Momo. She'll take care of you guys until this tragedy is over."

"Wait, Kozakura-san," Hiyori spoke up.

"No time. Go! Now!" Mary said and the horses started to run through the fjord of the hard blowing blizzard.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind. Embraced her on his chest and covered her mouth to keep her form screaming or doing anything. "Tsk. Tsk. That was very naughty my queen." he said in a sarcastic way. "I think I should find a proper place to keep you in while waiting."

Mary tried to break free but saw it was pointless. Kuroha was bigger, stronger, than she was. She had no other choice but to hope Hiyori and Hibiya were going safely to the last people she could trust.
