Chapter 13: Unlucky
Meanwhile...
Elizabeth: "(sweating) Fighting just doesn't stop, doesn't it?"
Elizabeth has been dealing with her own share of struggles against the monsters of this world, but luckily, her travels have taken her to a fairly robust town around noon that day.
Elizabeth: "At least I'm finally able to catch a breather."
She casually strolls into town, with the people having the time of their lives.
Elizabeth: "Reminds of back when-"
Memories of thieves and murderers standing in front of her flashes in her eyes.
Elizabeth: "It's best not to remember."
She looks around town with a sense of glee that had faded from her eyes years ago, but that'll soon change.
One hour later...
Elizabeth manages to sell some animal hides to a pawn shop for a couple dozen Prisms.
Elizabeth: "Thank you!"
She walks out into the street as a young girl in a torn cloak bumps into her.
Elizabeth: "H-Hey!"
The girl runs off, leaving behind a mysterious, black box.
Elizabeth: "What did you-"
???: "There she is!"
Two guards grab Elizabeth by the arms as a crooked, old man takes the box.
Elizabeth: "(struggling) What did I do?!"
Old Man: "You attempted to steal my wife's ring you lowlife!"
Elizabeth: "(struggling) That wasn't me! A girl in a cloak stole it!"
Guard 1: "If nobility says you did it, then you did it!"
They start dragging Elizabeth away as the old man begins to smirk.
Elizabeth: "(struggling) This isn't-"
A memory of her playing happily in a vast garden echoes in her mind, forcing her to shut her mouth.
Guard 2: "That's what we thought!"
Forty minutes later...
Elizabeth is taken to a prison that's small on the surface, but...
Guard 2: "You'll be held here until you await trial."
They step down a stone staircase, leading them to a vast, underground prison.
Elizabeth: "(horrified) What the hell?"
Guard 1: "We'll keep you on one of the lowest floors.
Elizabeth is tossed into a bleak cell, with a guard locking the door on floor B14.
Elizabeth: "You don't know what kind of mistake you're making!"
Guards: "Tell it to the judge."
The guards walk away, leaving Elizabeth alone in the depths...
