You rush out outside the room, looking for Tamina. Without that dagger, there’s no way your uncle will believe you.
You spot her rounding a corner. Leaping off a balcony, you take off running.
You quickly catch up with her as she’s about to slip into a hidden door that leads into a darkened passageway. You shove your foot into the opening as the door closes. “Not so fast, Princess,” you say. “Give it back.”
“Never!” Tamina declares. She tries to slam the door shut, but you’re too strong.
“Perhaps you’ll give it to me.” You whirl around to discover you are surrounded by the king’s guards. Your uncle Nizam comes toward you. The guards bind your hands.
Tamina turns to run, but the guards are too quick. One fires off an arrow and it pierces her shoulder. She shrieks and stumbles and tries to keep running, but it’s no use. A guard drags her out of the passageway.
Nizam takes the Dagger from her. “So this is what all the fuss is about,” he comments, holding it up.
