Morning.
The Royal house. Mary's chambers.
The heiress woke up, and it was clear from her expression that she hadn't had enough sleep.
There was a knock on the door. Mary said in a tired voice.
— Come in...
Olivia came into the room and immediately spoke.
— Your Majesty, get up, haven't you forgotten? Today is a very important day!
Then she immediately opened the curtains. The sun's rays penetrated the room, blinding Mary's already sleepy eyes.
There was another knock on the door. The heiress, without thinking, shouted again.
— Come in...
Olivia said at the same moment.
— Your Majesty, you can't just open the door for everyone! And if there's someone unfriendly behind her?
But a maid entered the room with a cart on which there was tea and pastries, the girl turned out to be Dorothy, who spoke.
— Your Majesty, your tea.
Mary asked.
— Miss Olivia, is the tea girl a friendly guest?
Olivia sighed.
— Even so, we need to be more vigilant, Your Majesty.
Dorothy put a saucer and a cup on the table, into which she poured tea and added.
— I recommend the cake, it's very tasty and moderately sweet today.
Mary invited Olivia to drink tea with her, but the girl refused, then the heiress had breakfast alone and, taking the praised cake, looked at the small note. Mary read it imperceptibly and looked in surprise at Dorothy, who pretended to be innocent. Then the heiress hid the paper and, without showing any signs, began to drink tea.
The day of the heiress began swiftly. All the princess did was communicate and talk to someone. Her schedule was scheduled literally to the minute. But somewhere in the middle of the day, by a strange coincidence, a gap formed between the meetings.
Olivia was put into a stupor by this, and at the moment Mary had an idea and she suggested going out into the courtyard, taking a walk in the garden. Olivia initially did not approve of this idea, but decided that a "simple" walk would not harm anyone.
The heiress went out into the courtyard, accompanied by Olivia, Zelda and a couple of officers. Suddenly, Princess Charlotte appeared in the garden, sitting at the same table with Chise, and Beatrice was loitering somewhere nearby. Then Mary came up to them, she greeted them. Olivia was surprised by the guest's arrival, and Zelda was clearly suspicious.
Charlotte invited the guest and Mary to drink tea, the girls agreed. But Zelda and Olivia got involved. The assistant told me.
— Your Majesty, your schedule is too busy for such a long vacation...
The spy added.
— Especially with uninvited guests...
The situation escalated, but then Dorothy and Lawrence intervened. The girl took Olivia to talk, and the officer took over Zelda and the rest of the entourage.
At the moment of the upheaval, Mary was taken to the summer house, where Ange put the kettle on so that their conversation would not be overheard. And Charlotte asked.
— So, Mary, tell me, do you want to be a queen?
The heiress thought about it, and Ange added.
— Take your time, think carefully...
Mary interrupted, saying.
— No... Not now... It all fell on my shoulders too quickly. I do not know what to do, what to do, but they have already made a minute-by-minute schedule for me...
The girl almost sobbed. Ange told me.
— It's decided, Your Highness, today we will take you through the wall...
Mary was surprised, wiping her tears, she nodded affirmatively.
Some more time passed, and Mary returned to her schedule and continued her meetings. At one point in the city, Ange walked away from the general group and wanted to go to one store, but Zelda was waiting for her in the alley, who immediately said.
— Eh... It's a pity that you can no longer contact the control with a "key ball ...". Now only "personal" meetings. As if THEY couldn't be intercepted. And really stupid decisions are made by the general, don't you agree?
Ange immediately asked.
— What do you want?
Zelda grinned at him.
— What am I? Mhm, let's see – so that someone doesn't pretend to be the arbiter of justice.
Ange calmly replied.
— You don't know the whole truth.
Zelda came up close and lowered her voice.
— Half of what I know, your friendly squad can crawl for 20 years. So, keep your head down, otherwise... I'll have to resort to something after which you won't even be able to crawl...
Zelda left, and Ange followed her into the building. In the store, the girl met "7", after which she immediately spoke.
— We need to discuss some aspects of the mission.
"7" asked.
— But why are you asking for details instead of the team leader?
Ange replied with restraint.
— She can't take her mind off her assignment right now...
"7" asked again.
— Okay, what exactly are you interested in?
Ange looked around.
— Not here...
Ange and "7" went out to the alley. As a result, the girl talked about all the ideas and problems of their planned mission. After receiving the recommendations, Ange returned to the others.
In the late afternoon, the entire original part of the team gathered in Charlotte's room. Ange repeated the words "7". The discussion began. Beatrice suggested it.
— We need to reschedule the transportation when everything calms down. Moreover, there is no need to escalate the situation now.
Chise, in turn.
— Next time they will be ready, we have a surprise factor.
Then Ange spoke up.
— Or so we think...
Dorothy, with her hands on the table.
— That's it... Everyone has spoken, and we don't count the princess's vote, because it goes for two. Charlotte rolled her eyes with a smile, and Dorothy continued, "With a solution, I suggest we act on the situation.
Chise, crossing his arms.
— In principle, as always...
Dorothy answered.
— Up to a certain point, our missions had a clear plan, only after one factor appeared, they began to get out of control, so it was impossible to predict what would happen next! And..
Charlotte laughed softly. Beatrice asked.
— What made you laugh so much?
The princess replied with a smile.
— I'm sorry, I was just pleased to see how we all communicate like this again.
Dorothy interrupted Charlotte by putting her arm around her shoulder and grabbing Beatrice with her other hand. Chise did not stand aside and joined in too.
Ange rolled her eyes and turned to leave, but suddenly she was grabbed in a circle and hugged too, the girl did not resist.
Deep evening.
Olivia accompanied Mary to her room and made sure that she went to bed. The heiress waited for the moment of Olivia's complete absence and began to pack.
Mary went to the window and it opened. Behind him was Ange, who took the princess and descended with the help of a key ball. Then they left the castle grounds through a secret entrance. And in order not to attract attention with unnecessary noise, we walked to the already closed car.
Charlotte, Beatrice and Stephen were in the car. They started off. When they reached the city, Charlotte asked.
— So why don't we go through the tunnel?
Ange calmly replied.
— It is important for us to show ourselves...
At that moment, Steve noticed in the rearview mirror a car that seemed to be chasing them. The mechanic spoke.
— It seems that they have already lit up.
The car started moving faster. Steve picked up his pace, too. A chase ensued. After a couple of sharp turns, the restless pursuers started shooting. Steve shouted out in a rush.
— Is there any way to fend off the threat rushing at us?!
Ange replied.
— No!
But after finishing the clip, Mary's hat flashed out of the window, after which she immediately removed it, and the fire stopped. The cars drove onto a straight road. We were almost chasing our heroes, but then suddenly another car appeared on the left and another on the right. They began to press down, Stephen stoked the engine so that the engine made an unusual sound.
Suddenly, a round object fell out of the right-hand car and there was a flash. Because of the light, Stephen lost control for a second and, turning the steering wheel, boarded the cars surrounding them. The left one continued on its way after the shake, while the right one lost control and fell behind.
The cars accelerated, and in the distance they could see an exit through the wall. But then Zelda herself flashed out of the window and shot through the wheel with a pistol.
Steven tried to keep moving, but soon they were surrounded and he had to stop. Zelda got out of the car and said.
— Everyone come out with your hands up!
The team had no choice but to get out, and one by one Ange and Charlotte got out of the car, Steve got out on the other side, and Beatrice appeared last in Mary's raincoat. Zelda is surprised and commanding in her tone.
— Where is the heiress?
Ange replied.
— What does the princess have to do with it? We have another mission...
Zelda got angry and spoke up.
— Grab...
They started knitting them. Steve whispered to Ange.
— I hope it's worth it...
A car pulled up to the other side of the wall. Chise got out, surveyed the area, and signaled. Mary followed her out, followed by Lawrence, and Dorothy got out of the driver's seat. Chise asked.
— I can't believe I did it.
Lawrence, reloading his pistols, said.
— At least there was no tail.
Dorothy led them towards the entrance.
— Okay, then we'll be happy, let's go soon.
When they were almost at the entrance, Lawrence said.
— Yours...
Dorothy asked.
— What's wrong? — then she looked into the distance and said, — damn...
Richard's bodyguard was standing in front of them, but they didn't stop running, and Chise spoke.
— Lawrence and I will detain you, and you can transfer Mary!
After that, the girl overtook everyone and, drawing her katana, attacked the man, who repelled the attack. Lawrence added a burst of gunfire, while Dorothy took Mary and used the key ball to jump over the bodyguard when he was distracted by the bullets.
Then the man threw a tomahawk at Dorothy, but Lawrence changed the course of the weapon with a well-aimed shot and it flew past, which Dorothy was relieved to see.
Lawrence and Chise remained fighting with the bodyguard while the team leader and the heiress entered through a secret passage inside the wall. In it, they ran as fast as they could towards the exit. And after a couple of moments, he still showed up and Dorothy used the key ball to fly up, but then they were caught in a net from which they could not get out, then Richard came up and said.
— Are you leaving already? Your didn't say hello or even say goodbye. Where are your manners?
