Kapitel 236: What people think (2)

Aria and I get out of the Palace through the same paths she uses to get in. Marius follows, together with Tobin.

We're going out in an easy mood as if we weren't breaking who knows how many security protocols and maybe even a few laws. The Queen is supposed to be careful about her safety because it's of importance to the whole country. But I can protect myself, can't I?

They are just glad the war didn't reach them.

«Where are we going?» I inquire.
