Austin POV:
"So how are you planning on entering the city unnoticed?"
Olivia asked me as she gazed upon the huge city while hiding, I too was hiding my presence,
"I have to say they planned this well, making sure the ambush takes place in such a location, even if we escaped, in a way we will still be in their palms"
I spoke to which Olivia could only nod along, the queens or the other wives of my uncle, they themselves come from prestigious families, each either having a dukedom or ruling over a major part of the empire, the place we were ambushed belongs to one such dukedom, the ruler of this place is the father of one of the queens.
In other words, even if we had escaped, it would have been close to impossible for us to enter the capital without being detected, well that only works for normal people...
"How trusting are you of this person?"
"Don't worry, the people I know are very capable, they will be easily able to help us"
