Late that night, as everyone but Katie slept, Joseph came "Everything is ready Katie." he said in a whisper, "Do you need me to get you anything?". "Is Frostmore still in your room?" Katie asked, Joseph nodded "Would you like me to get it for you?""Yes, meet us there in ten minutes, though you may have to wait.""Alright my lady." Joseph bowed before leaving. Katie woke everyone up, "Grab everything, but stay quiet." Katie whispered. "Why are we leaving in the middle of the night?" Leon yawned, he was in the middle of a really good dream. "Because we have to." Katie said, opening a door to a tunnel."Where are we even going?" Leon asked once they were in the tunnel. "To the West Exit, Joseph should be there with supplies and my sword." Katie replied, leading the way. "Poyo?" Kirby asked, "Because my father plans on locking me in my room in hope that I would learn to obey his and my mother wishes on what I do in my free time and who I will marry." Katie sigh before going silent.They continued their trek through the underground maze until they reached a door. Katie pulled out a compass "Good, this is the right door." she muttered, pulling a flashlight out and pointing it at the ground."Miss. Katie!" a man called, everyone whipped around to see Joseph coming their way, "Your father knows! You must hurry!" he coughed."Leon, grab the bag of food." Katie yelled "Joseph, hand me Frostmore, then run." Leon grabbed the food as Joseph handed Katie the sheathed sword "Good luck, My Lady." Joseph stated before he ran off."Let's move out everyone!"They all ran out the door only to meet soldiers. "Don't take another step Katie!" Edric Elias yelled. "Why? Do you want to lose all of your property to the Undead?" Katie called back "My advice to you is to let me and my friends go before we force you to."The stalemate began, both sides in shock at what Katie said. "Katie," Leon said to her, "we could just teleport out of here you know.""I know, but my father might've placed some charm to prevent us from doing so." she replied calmly. I'm not going to let him take over my life again Katie thought to herself."Katie! Why don't we settle this argument once and for all. I, Lord Edric Elias, challenge you, Katie Elias, to a duel. If I win, you will do what I say without hesitation. But if you win, you may do as you wish." her father finally called. Katie began to walk towards her father but Leon held her back, "Katie, don't do this! He could kill you." Katie gave a smirk "Don't worry, he wouldn't do that. He would lose the possibility of having an heir if I died." She stepped towards her father "I accept your challenge on one condition; if I were to gain a significant injury, one that would discontinue me fighting, that one of my friends steps in and continue the fight in my stead.""Why would I let you do that?!" the lord blared "That would give you two chances!""Is that a problem? If it was just me fighting, as an eleven year old, fighting you, someone with more experience in fighting, would put me at a disadvantage."She's good! Leon thought She had this all figured out before we had climbed into the tunnel. "Alright, I accept your request; choose your spare. I'll even give you an hour to prepare."
