Chapter 122

With Andre with her, Janet couldn’t march right into the palace. It caused too much attention. And she didn’t want that.

She circled to the back of the building and found the window to their suite. She waited there for about ten to fifteen minutes and the window cracked open. Daran stuck his head out. When he saw Janet, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

“Hold on a second,” he said.

He carried a coil of rope and climbed out of the window, jumping onto the ground lightly. He moved Andre to his back. Janet helped to tie Andre’s body firmly to his back.

“You go ahead,” she said in a whisper. “I will watch out for you.”

Daran nodded.

Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and jumped, stepping onto the wall for support and grabbing the windowsill.

He moved so effortlessly and didn’t make a single sound during the whole process. It seemed as though he was carrying a feather on his back and not a human being.

Janet looked around and made sure that nobody was around. Then she followed Daran’s steps and got into the suite herself.

Andre’s breathing was still light and shallow. There was a deep furrow between his brows even when he was asleep, as though he was having a nightmare.

“Is he going to be alright?” Janet asked worriedly.

“Yeah. He was just having a light fever. Just move him into the room and give him a wipe down and he will be alright.”

Janet nodded.

They carried Andre into the bedroom and set him down on the bed.

Janet took a hand to unbutton Andre’s shirt.

Yet Daran grabbed her wrist forcefully.

“What do you think you are doing?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Giving the boy a wipe down…like you said.”
