Chapter 69

CAMILLA’S PO.V

By the time Christine was done speaking, I was staring at her in shock and confusion. She had dragged us back into Ryker’s office so she could lay out the papers in her hands and despite that, I was still utterly confused.

“He’s using tunnels,” I said feeling and sounding stupid and she nodded. “How didn’t we know about the tunnels? How didn’t you know about the tunnels? Surely my mother would have told you.”

“I don’t think she knew,” she answered honestly. “The tunnels aren’t even shown on any of the blueprints. The only way I know about them ist because I found the old architectural notes. The original ones are obviously lost but every three years they are rewritten to keep the integrity. I found the ones from just after your parents got married and it talks about the tunnels but the next one doesn’t‘

“Someone asked them to stop writing about it,” I deduced and she nodded. I turned to Ryker. “He didn’t meet with his mistress in the palace. He met with her outside and he used the tunnels to do so. He must have either told Frederick or his mother did. That’s how Frederick. is getting in.”

Ryker turned to Christine. “Do you have any idea where the tunnel. entrances are?”

She shook her head. “All I know is that they span the entire length of the castle and underground but nothing else is said. I think there were more to the notes but most of them are lost. I’m sorry.”

I placed a hand on her shoulder. “There is nothing to be sorry about. You have been a tremendous help and you have no idea. Thank you so much. I am sure that we will find something in his journal. If he truly loved this. woman then he would not be able to resist talking about her.”

She nodded and grabbed the papers then left. Ryker and I went to the dining room where Audrey was waiting patiently. I felt bad for keeping her waiting especially when I saw that she was already half asleep. She still fought to have dinner with us despite the fact that she was one wrong move away from falling face first into her meal.

After dinner, Ryker and I tucked her into bed and once we were certain that both children were asleep, we made our way back to our room.
