Chapter 1266

Rafael and Dylan followed behind the grain transport group from Tiberius‘ side as they made their way out. The men here didn’t wear veils, so when two unfamiliar faces appeared, they were suspicious, but they didn’t question it. Perhaps they were just new arrivals who had been at the rear of the group moments ago.

Compared to the well–trained people back at Stone Village, Tiberius‘ crew was utterly disorganized.

Everett and Carissa retraced their steps, distancing themselves from the others.

Rafael was aware of their presence up ahead, but he never dreamed it would be Carissa and Everett. He had assumed it was the supervising team, sent to ensure none of the workers were secretly stealing the grain. After all, these people appeared to be nothing more than hired laborers.

Carissa glanced back several times, but never saw Rafael. The crowd was thick, and the distance between them was far enough to make it hard to spot anyone. She kept turning her head because, though she had heard Dylan’s voice earlier, she hadn’t heard Rafael’s.

Violet leaned in close and whispered, “Don’t worry. During the chaos, two people infiltrated our group. Though we couldn’t see them clearly, I suspect it was His Highness and Dylan.”

She paused, glancing at Everett. “Besides, look at your martial uncle. He’s as calm as ever. If he didn’t know His Highness was somewhere in the group, he’d be more anxious than anyone else.”

Carissa thought to herself that Violet had only half the truth. Everett definitely wasn’t as anxious as she was. But since he had sharp ears, Carissa didn’t dare to say it out loud.

Still, she felt much more at ease.
