His death as her freedom

To Persephone, this third kidnapping was not like the other two in the past. One would ask what changed this time. She could simply reply that she was 110%sure that Villain would come to save her. 

She was still the most precious treasure in his treasury. Not only this, but his objective involving her was yet to be proved. 

So, yeah, here she was chilling in the enemy's turf. 

It was already late in the evening when Persephone and her new kidnappers reached their destination after changing more than five cars and. By now, Villain might have launched the search operation all over the country. After all, he was acquainted with the king, and after combining his and the King's power, it wouldn't take him long to reach her.
