An Extra’s POV

'It's a good thing I took precautions earlier…'

Rey sent his gaze to the unconscious Esme, focusing on the ring that graced her finger.

'I'm sorry, Alicia. But this is to keep you safe…'

It was better for Aldred to suspect Esme as being close to him and not Alicia. That way, he could protect her and hide her identity.

'By using the ring, he'll believe she's the one I went through all this trouble for.'

However, despite all the factors, Aldred was apparently still not convinced.

At least, that was what Rey observed.

'Why else would he be concerned about Billy and Alicia that are above? He probably thinks I'm lying…'

Thankfully, Aldred didn't have any proof that it was the case.

'Still, I better be careful.' Rey thought to himself.

At the very least, he comforted himself with the fact that all of this would be over soon enough.

He just had to complete his activities here for the day.

'It's getting late already. I better wrap things up.'

"Where do you intend on transporting these slaves to, by the way?"

Once he heard the question, Rey already had the answer to give.

"The Royal Estate."

Once Rey said this, Aldred and Yuri expressed instant shock.

"Drop them in front of the gates. Once the guards see them, they'll know what to do from there."

Their eyes widened even more—especially Aldred's.

He seemed truly shocked.
