Chapter 283: Stage One, Complete.

At that, the guard’s eyes shifted to Nnenna, who stood beside him, hood pulled low but clearly visible.

His brows creased a little, and Nnenna tensed.

This could go wrong.

But the guard only hesitated for a second before stepping aside with a respectful nod.

“Good evening your Highness the second princess.” The restrictions around her had been lifted recently, and even if they hadn’t, the guard wasn’t in a position to argue with the third prince.

He wanted to object, at least warn them about leaving without proper arrangements or protection, but if the prince said everything was fine, who was he to challenge it?

“You may proceed, Your Majesties,” he said simply, stepping aside.

Nnenna blinked in surprise as they walked right past without any resistance.

No questions.

No trouble.

Once they were a good distance away from the gates, and the lights of the castle started to fade behind them, she turned to her brother.

“Won’t Second Brother be alerted once he hears we walked out so easily?” Abuchi nodded without stopping.

“He will.

But by the time he puts the pieces together…” He looked at her with that confident smirk of his.

“…we’ll already be in the air.” Nnenna stared at him for a second, then smiled back.

His confidence was reckless sometimes, but it was also strangely reassuring.

“Alright then,” she said, her voice steady.

“Let’s do this.” They met up with the rest of the crew a bit far outside the castle gates.

Everyone was already geared up and ready to go.

Karen stood with her arms folded, sharp eyes following Abuchi as he walked over, but he didn’t glance her way, not even once.

John was the first to break the silence.

Again.

“Are you sure about this?” he asked Abuchi, his voice low but serious.
