Chapter 124

Andre messaged them about two days later, saying that he had planned the whole thing out.

He would help Janet blend into the crowd of female tributes. And Daran could wait in the forest during the day. When night fell, Daran could take the cover night and found a way to sneak into the campsite.

Everything was ready to go.

On the day of the hunting, Janet and Daran told the maids that they would go to the market and do some shopping and left their suite.

An hour later, they arrived at the meet-up point, a hidden cave near a creek deep into the forest.

They waited for Andre to show up.

Yet half an hour had passed since their appointed time and there was still no sign of Andre.

Daran’s face was getting darker with the passing of time.

“This kid is going to bail on us,” he said coldly.

Janet patted his tensed shoulder, “Have some patience.”

Daran gave her a sullen look, “I never liked this plan for a starter. Maybe it is time to take a step back and evaluate—”

“Look!”

Janet interrupted him and pointed to the distance, “He is here.”

Andre appeared from the dense forests across the creek.

He rushed over, slightly out of breath with hot sweat on his forehead, and said to them in an urgent voice, “Sorry, sorry. I got caught up in things…”

“You are late,” Daran said warningly.

“I know. Danton was watching me like a fucking hawk. I didn’t find the right time to sneak out,” Andre mumbled. “And…there is a slight change of plan.”

“What happened?” Janet asked.

Andre gulped. He looked anxious.

“…The King is here,” he sighed.

Janet widened her eyes,

“Lance is here?” she gasped, “But I thought you said that he doesn’t like to be seen with commoners!”

Andre rubbed the back of his neck nervously, “That is normally the case! But I don’t know what happened this year! Maybe Danton invited him, or maybe he just wants to have some fun…Anyway, I saw Danton welcome him into the campsite when I snuck out.”
