Chapter 42: The protagonist vs protagonist showdown is coming?

(As per the bonus promised in the synopsis, 2 chs released on a single day🥰🥰.)

While Elandor and David's group were on a run after leaving the city, in a big hall of the royal palace Princess Lena, Evelyn and Leon were standing with their heads down.

They thought the matter of their stealing the royal treasure would end with David getting some mild punishment but the most unexpected thing happened.

Evelyn's sister Eve backstabbed them.

Just an hour before the morning, she killed all the guards stationed around David's cell and freed him.

But the most confusing part for them was, 'Why would even David run away?'

Given his connections and family support, the king won't punish him harshly.

So why did he decide to allow himself to be labelled as a fugitive and run away with Eve?

Evelyn felt... very angry, just some hours back she had told Eve that she would help David during the trial.
