Chapter 102: Secret Passage Way Chapter 102: Secret Passage Way With how she had acted so far, it would have been more shocking if she actually did know a way.

Luckily, palace staff usually had their own hidden routes.

There had to be at least one servant who knew a discreet way out.

As Little Sweetie left the room to “ask” around, Nnenna leaned back slightly, exhaling.

If all went well, she would be out of the castle in a few hours.

Little Sweetie stepped out of the room with a sigh of relief, almost as if the weight of the situation had lifted off her shoulders.

She waited in the hallway for a moment before walking back to Nnenna’s room, knocking gently before entering.

“Nnenna,” she began, her voice calm yet filled with purpose, “one of the servants told me there’s a way out through the gardens.” She paused, choosing her words carefully.

“She was tending to the flowers one day when she stepped on something hidden beneath the vines.

To her surprise, there was a set of stairs leading down.

She didn’t explore it at the time, but the next day she went back and found the spot again, between the sunflowers and the edge of the garden, where hardly anyone ever goes.

She followed the stairs, and they lead to the back of a restaurant in the capital city.” Little Sweetie gave a small shrug, masking her uncertainty.

“She said the area is quiet, barely anyone passes through there.

The landowner has it completely sealed off with fences and electric wires, so it’s almost impossible to get close.

It’s a hidden, safe exit.” She looked at Nnenna, her face hopeful yet still guarded.

“Does that sound like a good way out to you?” “Yes, it is,” Nnenna replied, her tone steady.

“You’ll come out beside one of the walls where no one will see you.

Once you’re there, look for a loose end of the wall.
