Chapitre 223: The Crown Prince’s Return

"Alright." Jack cut thru the serious atmosphere. "With the duke as our ally and little princess the future queen, all is set. We can now talk about our escape plan this weekend while the queen is not around."

"Yes." I remembered. "Duke Matias, we will need your help."

Duke Matias nodded after hearing me. "I will do everything in my power to help you." He said solemnly. "But I am afraid your plans to escape this weekend will be difficult."

"And why is that?" Jack asked. "It is the perfect time while the queen is away."

"Yes it is the best time to escape while the queen is away but the problem doesn't lie on that." Duke Matias said. "The crown prince will be back soon. As my informants told me, he will probably arrive tonight."

"What?!" I asked in surprise. I never imagined I would meet Gladiolus again face to face.
