KAEL.

"You need to leave. Now!" Rasmus said, and I could hear the urgency in his voice.

"Shit! It's fucking midnight!" I brushed my hand over my hair while the other was on my hips.

I turned around to look at Adessa. She was sitting, the blanket covering up to her waist. The color had gone out of her face.

"You need to go. In approximately forty minutes, they'll reach the packhouse," Rasmus said.

"Put your clothes on. We're leaving," I told Adessa in a much calmer voice. She nodded, and I stepped out of the room and closed the door.

"I'll prepare something that you can take with you on the road," Aunt Aria said as she walked away from us. I thanked her, but I was not sure if she heard me because she was walking too fast.

"How the fuck they ended up here? And at midnight?" I asked, still in disbelief.

"I have no answer for that, but it didn't matter at this point. Here..." He handed me a pouch, and I opened it. "Good thing they gave me this after dinner. Or tomorrow would be too late."

The ID cards were for Adessa with her red hair.

"Those are Adessa's ID cards that you requested. I also got her some credit cards. I suggest you don't use your personal cards for safety, as they might be tracking you. Use the one with Samantha Grey for any transactions." "Thank you, that part slipped my mind."

"No problem. I'll charge you double for all the expenses once she's off the hook." He chuckled. "The other ID card-that's the name listed on the Moonlight Ball, so she needs to present that. It's a masquerade ball, so choose a mask she won't be recognized easily." "Nice." I couldn't deny the relief in my voice.

At least no one will notice her until I find the King that day. It seemed fate was on our side this time.

I was checking the rest of the cards when I saw the one she needed to use for the ball. "Savannah Gray? Why the fuck did you use Savannah for her?" I asked, my forehead creasing.
