"Hm…a little to the right…some more to this corner…and voila!" Kenta grinned, replacing a hairpin and pushed the door open. "Mission accomplished!"
He strolled through the dim hallway confidently.
"Excuse me, sir! Where is the dungeon?" He asked a passing guardsman.
"Huh? Oh, down the hall to the left, turn right at the third hall, and right again to the fourth hall, then to the left the first hall, go down the stairs and it'll be at the bottom." The guard answered, scratching his head.
"Right. Thanks!!" Kenta grinned and set off in that direction.
He got there easily enough as the guard had directed him. Kenta took a quick glance around, looking for Terrin and spotted him, sitting near the door of one cell and looking extremely resentful. He sighed… he'd have some explaining to do when he got Terrin out of there.
"So then…" Kenta walked up to the guard on duty. "Soldier!"
"Yes?!" The guard jumped to meet the salute Kenta gave him.
"Free the new prisoner. King wants to see him." Kenta said.
"Oh, right away, sir." The guard said quickly walking through the passageway to the cell were he unlocked the door.
Terrin goggled at Kenta. "What are you--"
"The King wants to see you! On your feet!!" Kenta barked, interrupting Terrin before he could spill anything.
"Er, sir…I haven't seen you around before, your name?" The guard looked a bit embarrased.
"You don't know who I am???" Kenta roared, suppressing a laugh as the guard flinched. "I am Asa Baron Timothy Welkins the Fourth. You know, the king's uncle's niece's aunt's son!" Kenta said it all in a mouthful. "You dare disrespect royalty?!"
"Uh…right. Of course. No disrespect meant, sir!" The guard saluted hurriedly.
"All right. Back to your duties, soldier!" Kenta ordered and lead Terrin up the stairs.
Terrin oggled some more. "You work for them??" He demanded.
"What does it look like, huh?" Kenta asked.
"Um…like you do…" Terrin said, uncertain.
"Hehe…pretty good act, huh?" Kenta grinned. "I came to get you out, of course!"
"But how did you get in??" Terrin demanded.
"Walked…" Kenta replied.
"Past all those guards??" Terrin asked incredulously.
"Yea…heck! If you have enough confidence, you can fool anyone!" Kenta grinned. "Just act like you know what you're doing and they all fall for it!" He said. "Sorry I couldn't get you earlier, but it was easier this way."
"Okay then…" Kenta grinned.
