The palace is on fire

Night. The natural history room. The saint woke up and spoke with an accent, in a hoarse voice.

—So that's what it means to get wasted, poor Low.

Holding his head, he got up, gathered himself up, took a kusarigama and recharged the lamp. He ran out of the room and went to the princess's room, and then to Ange and Dorothy's room. Finding no one there, Svyat ran to Beatrice and Chisa.

When Glory opened the door, he saw Beatrice chained to the bed. Having untied her, he began to ask about everything. But Beatrice, no matter how she tried to speak, did not make sounds, then the Saint realized that it was a matter of the speech apparatus. After spending a considerable amount of time, he was able to achieve a squeaking sound. After that, under the guidance of Beatrice, he was able to set up the device.

Svyat and Beatrice ran towards the garage, but when they heard a knock on one of the doors, they hurried to open it. There was a Chise who couldn't move from the accumulated debris in the pantry.

Soon they ran together to the garage, seeing Steve sleeping in it, they asked to take them away. When the mechanic woke up, he spoke with an angry face.

— Come on, Are you kidding me!? Are you all crazy or something?!

The Saint replied.

— No, we just need to get in...

— Yeah I know where you're all going. — Steve sat down and holding his head continued to talk. — okay, I understand, Her Majesty says: "We need to go home urgently, something is happening to someone there somewhere". Then they walk with such a bang that the dead will get up. And you are a squad of youngsters.

Svyat, Beatrice and Chise stared at him in silence. Steve got up and started rummaging through the shelves. Chise said warily.

— Listen, I'm sorry if we're driving you too hard.

Steve sighed.

— Come on. I knew where I was going and why. — The mechanic turned pale, clutching his glasses in his hands.

The saint stood quietly on the sidelines with his head down. But suddenly he plucked up the courage to go up to Steve, held out his hand and said.

— I know you have your own business, but help us fuck up the redhead.

Steve looked at the hand, shook it, and answered.

— This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life, but... go.

A smile shone on the Saint's face.

The royal house. The butler walked around the corridors. Passing by Princess Charlotte's chambers, I noticed a man who was doing something with expensive decor. The butler decided that it was a thief

He asked about it.

— I'm sorry, you're new.

The man looked up, and a man's face in a bandana and pigtail appeared from under the hat. He reached into his pocket. The butler asked again.

— What are you...?

Before he could finish, a tomahawk flew at the butler. At the same moment, the door to the princess's room opened, Charlotte stood on the threshold and looked at the body with an intimidating look, and then at the man.

The day has come. Mary's room. The princess studied under the guidance of Olivia. There was a knock on the door, and the girl went to open it. The maid came into the room with tea, which turned out to be Dorothy. Princess Mary hesitated at first, but still decided to have tea, inviting both Baba and Dorothy.

The Queen's chambers. The Queen and Richard are in them. She speaks with a smile.

— But still, it's good that I was able to arrive at such a time.

— Yes, when I found out about the death, I immediately dropped everything, just to get here as quickly as possible. The prince spoke calmly.

— But it's still good that you're here. — the queen noticed.

— And how are you feeling? — Richard asked.

— To be honest, something is wrong, because of this, Edward will take care of the speeches for now. — the queen explained.

Richard had a small smile on his face.

— That's fine... Just fine. Okay, Grandma, I won't bore you with my questions anymore, get better.

The prince got up from his chair and left the room. Then, barely holding back his laughter, he headed forward down the corridor.

Charlotte's room. In it, the princess discusses the plan with Ange.

— They are placed in all corners, so the only one who found one of them met this morning far from here. —Charlotte was telling me.

— Are there blind spots? — Ange asked, crossing her arms.

- yes. — the princess takes out a large paper where the circles were marked. — I've marked the bombs you know about here. There may be more in the unmarked places, but I think if you choose the right path, then they can be avoided.

Ange silently looked at the plans and then said.

— Maybe it's a trap.

— What are you talking about? — Charlotte asked.

— There may even be bombs in the clear path. — Ange predicted.

— But then, how will they get out on their own? — The princess asked.

Ange just nodded her head.

Charlotte with a smile.

— If Svyat were with his vision now, he would definitely invent something.

Ange grinned, but quickly put together a plan and said.

"Well, then, your task now is to find out the Prince's workarounds while I try to get into the Grand Chamberlain's office.

Charlotte nodded.

Check-in at the royal house. Svyat, Chise, Beatrice and Steve were sitting in the car next to the fence, then the mechanic asked the kid.

— Well, are we going to sit for a long time or are you going to go inside?

Glory without taking his eyes off the wall.

— Wait, I'm thinking... — after 5 seconds, he added. — I've thought of it! Maybe we can drive up the wall and use it to get home?

— She can't do that. — Steve replied emotionlessly.

— Hmm... Can she throw it on the wall? — the Holy continued to ask

— no! — Steve speaks in a raised voice. — or maybe figure out how to get in, I don't know... Through the gate!?

Chise reminded me.

— Only representatives of the royal family are allowed there or by invitation.

Svyat stared at the wall again.

— Are you speaking by invitation? — The Saint's gaze went to Beatrice.

At that time, in the Queen's chambers, the Duke of Normandy was checking on the Queen's health. And Charlotte was walking towards these rooms. But at the meeting, she met a joyful Richard, who immediately spoke when he saw the princess.

— Oh, Charlotte! I was looking for you and Mary.

Charlotte is worried.

— Mary? Where is she?

Richard came closer to Charlotte and answered.

— Don't worry, she's probably safe.

Charlotte was even more worried. Richard saw this and added.

— However, we have more important things to do, let's go.

Charlotte looked back, but went with Richard.

Mary's room. The princess was drinking tea while a note slipped through the crack in the door. Dorothy read it and told the princess.

— I think we should reschedule the tea party.

Olivia asked.

— Why?

— The house is booby-trapped. — Dorothy replied.

Mary was horrified.

"But how do you know?"

— It doesn't matter, now we need to take the princess away.

Dorothy took Mary's hand and together with Olivia they quietly left the room. Walking down the corridor, she inadvertently hooked a tripwire, after which an explosion occurred nearby. The girls got up and walked faster.

The Queen's chambers. The Duke of Normandy was discussing something with the Queen herself until the Saint ran into the room. Stunned, William asked.

— Who are you and what are you doing here!?

Glory is catching my breath.

— I'm sorry, I didn't want to interrupt your discussions, but there are bombs at your house and I wouldn't want this beautiful castle to burn down with everyone.

— What are you talking about? What kind of bombs? Guards, detain the uninvited guest!

Two men surrounded the Saint. The kid immediately spoke up.

— I'm not lying! If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself!

The guards dragged the Saint to the exit. Suddenly, a loud crash sounded. And soon the Duke gave a sign and the Saint was released and William spoke.

— If you're not lying, then lead the way out.

Going out into the corridor, they came across Chise. Svyat one handed over the royal family and ran to find out the problem himself.

After running some distance, he came across Richard and Charlotte. And taking out his weapon, he spoke.

— Come on, redhead, get away from Charlotte.

Richard smiled.

— Oh! So that's what you are, I've been told about you.

— And they told me about you, and you know that the correct verdict would be a peace death.... Svyat paused and turned to see Amit holding a half—crushed tomahawk in his hand.

Richard saw mercenary.

— What took you so long? They want to meet you here.

The saint was alarmed. Man was already ready to attack Glory, clutching a weapon in his hands... He jumped out of the window, breaking it at the same time.

Everyone was surprised, but Richard said.

— Oh... and it's really original, but it doesn't matter.

Meanwhile, Ange has found the office of the grand Chamberlain and is trying to find something in it. And Dorothy met Beatrice and Steve. At the same time, Mary was frightened by what was happening. Beatrice started looking for something to wipe the princess with, and the mechanic saw the girl and said.

— Hey, it's okay, now my faithful friend Glory will save everyone.

Mary quieted down. Steve whispers to Dorothy.

— The end of the palace.

Richard continued to walk down the corridor with Charlotte, accompanied by mercenary. The prince's monologue was interrupted by a light bulb flying under his feet. There was a flash that blinded everyone. Amit was the first to recover, but Svyat quickly attacked him, while Chise dragged Charlotte by the hand as far as possible, Glory ran after them.

When they broke away, they stopped to catch their breath. Chise said it first.

— Still, attacking from the back is not very fair.

Holy with shortness of breath.

— Ah, dry up. We're actually saving the princess here.

Charlotte lowered her head and spoke softly.

— I'm sorry...

Svyat and Chise looked at the princess with incomprehension, and Charlotte started stretching. Chise, being closer, closed the boy, but she herself fell under the explosion radius. The princess disappeared, and Glory recovered and dragged Chise to the gun.

The Saint who ran out was spotted by the guard at the porch. But the boy did not lose his head and drove them away with loud shouts.

— A doctor!

Dorothy and Beatrice ran up to him. They immediately had a question.

— What the hell happened?

The saint said impatiently.

— It takes a long time to explain. And where is Ange!?

Dorothy whispered to the boy about the plan. Holy in the same second.

— "da blyatt".

And he rushed back into the house. Chisa was given first aid.

Meanwhile, Amit started a slow chain reaction, and he and Richard left. Mini bombs began to explode evenly around the house and the fire gradually began to envelop the castle.

Svyat looked at the rooms on the run, coming across the fire several times. After a while, he heard noises and voices. He ran to the office, and there was Charlotte sorting papers into two suitcases and Ange leafing through papers on the table. Svyat immediately attacked Charlotte with threats. Ange stopped him, but he continued.

— Do you even know what this person did!? She almost blew up Chise and me on the spot, and that's after we saved her from the redhead and his guard!

Charlotte felt guilty. Ange held the Saint and tried to dissuade him.

— I think there is an explanation for this, you should not attack her like that.

— What is it!? If she could explain, she would speak a word! — The Holy One continued to speak angrily.

— I apologized and... — Charlotte did not have time to finish, as the Holy One interrupted her

— What the hell do I need your apologies for!? I haven't heard them since I was born.

Ange understood that the situation was getting tense and put her hands on the Saint's shoulders and tried to take them away from Charlotte.

— Listen, Holy, let me explain everything to you later, only now we need to separate the documents that we will save and those that we will give control as soon as possible, will you help us? I beg...

The saint calmed down a little.

— Okay...

The boy took all the documents from the table and from the hiding place divided them into two parts and put them in the already not empty suitcases and added.

— This way there will be less suspicion. Ange will take the suitcase for control and go out separately, and I will go out through the main entrance with the case for safekeeping and Charlotte.

The girls agreed. And then a part of the roof collapsed in the corridor. The saint shouted out.

— Now let's get out of here!

They ran out. Ange headed in the other direction. And Charlotte, carrying a briefcase, and Svyat ran to the main entrance.

Charlotte, who has already seen the exit, suddenly stops and speaks.

— Holy! Wait a minute! In fact, it was Charlotte who left with the key ball and important documents.

Svyat was taken aback, looked back to look back, but when he heard the sound, turning to the girl, he saw only a suitcase lying on the floor, after which he desperately shouted.

— "DA BLY-A-A-A"!

Grabbing his briefcase, he ran to the exit and almost went out, suddenly a bomb exploded and the burnt Saint was thrown onto the porch.

They immediately ran up to him. While the Queen and the Duke of Normandy looked at the burning house.

The hospital. Saint wakes up and squinting, sees Ange.

— And... where is Chise? — barely pronounces the weakened Saint.

Ange is looking around.

— She's fine. She didn't get in too much trouble.

The saint tried to sit up, but felt pain in his arm, lifted the blanket and saw

a half-bandaged body.

— But you'd better rest. — covering, Ange said.

The saint fell asleep. Steve, Lawrence, and Charlotte were standing outside the door at the time.
