Escape from the evil Chapter 133 - 41. On the run again

Chapter 133: Chapter 41. On the run again

Still, sotis I was just amazed at how unpredictable life can be.

It seed that Jeremy and I had recently been able to start life from scratch, and we sincerely believed that now everything could finally get better. However... As it turned out, our happiness was destined to last only a short ti. Our business, which had started so successfully, as well as our new life under other nas, were now under great threat. Or rather, now we had to leave them altogether.

I couldn’t disagree with my friend’s words that now we can no longer be sure of our own safety. After the Empress’s people beca aware of our location, they will undoubtedly try to co here again.

Besides, since the Empress managed to figure us out, it was only a matter of ti before the Crown Princess did. And the closest one.

For this reason, the baron’s youngest son and I were forced to leave this place as soon as possible.

After hanging a ??temporarily closed?? sign on the door of our flower shop, Jeremy and I quickly packed up our few belongings and left the sa day.

Of course, I was also filled with regrets when I left this place. After all, in such a short period of ti, I have already beco attached to our lifestyle. Not to ntion the fact that I also felt a lot of guilt towards our employees, whom we practically just left to fend for themselves...

??I hope that Caleb, Judo and Frank will be able to find a new job as soon as possible.??

I wrote them a short ssage informing them of our departure, and put it in the door slot. I also took care of their salary envelopes for all this ti, which I put under the door mat just in case.

So, after we settled all the important priority tasks as soon as possible, we decided not to delay our departure either.

So Jeremy and I had to return to the fugitive lifestyle again. Since the pursuit of our enemies could overtake us at any mont, we did not want to take the risk and postpone this issue for a long ti. We were going to leave the capital as a matter of urgency tomorrow morning.

And today, since it was already quite late, I decided to spend the night in an inconspicuous hotel on the outskirts of the city.

Despite the fact that we managed to make good money on our business, but since we still need this money on our journey, we were going to save money as much as possible. For this reason, we rented a single room in the hotel, not only for reasons of saving money, but also for security reasons. Still, right now, when the threat could overtake us at any mont, it would be better for us not to separate.

The room we rented was very small and far from presentable. However, that wasn’t what mattered right now.

I took the only creaky bed, while Jeremy spread the mattress on the floor and got ready to lie down there. Despite the fact that today could be called truly exhausting, but neither of us had any sleep in one eye. In the end, anxiety and excitent about everything that had happened and our future made

completely forget about sleep. And Jeremy seed to feel the sa way.

Even if I tried not to think about it, my thoughts kept coming back to the sa thing. This asshole, who had suddenly decided to make himself look like a hero, was currently sowhere unknown. Was he even still alive...?

In fact, not so long ago, I would not have even thought that I would feel such emotions towards my older brother. Maybe it was because of so kind of guilt, or because I was still too shocked by what had happened. In any case...

As my head continued to ache from all these thoughts, in the end I couldn’t stand it.

??Jeremy... Are you still awake??? — in the end, in the middle of the night, when I was tired of restlessly rushing alone with my own thoughts, I decided to call out to him.

??No,?? the friend replied imdiately, ??Why aren’t you sleeping???

??For ... I can’t sleep.??

??Well, I see.??

The guy with the red hair, who had also been tossing and turning all this ti, turned in my direction, and I also looked at him.

For a brief mont, there was silence in the pitch darkness.

— What are you thinking about now??? Jeremy finally asked quietly.

— Honestly speaking... I’m a little scared,?? I confessed.

??Of course,?? he said, ??After all that has happened to us, it would be strange to remain calm.

??You can’t argue with that.??

I sighed softly.

— By the way... — at that mont I suddenly rembered it, — And where is that snake that you sheltered?

— ...

??Co to think of it, I didn’t see her when we were packing today,?? I said thoughtfully. ??Or did you manage to let her out?

Even though I couldn’t see his expression clearly in the dark, it seed to

that after I ntioned his pet, my friend’s expression beca sowhat strange.

Instead of answering my question, the guy was silent for a while. Then, suspecting sothing was amiss, I continued:

— Actually, you seed strange to

even before I told you about what happened today. What’s the matter? Is sothing wrong with you?

When I continued to question him about it, Jeremy Seibel took a deep breath.

— Actually...?? He said slowly, ??I saw the Duchess today.

— what? Really?!

This sudden admission completely startled .

??That’s right.??

??...??

I was silent for a few monts, stupidly considering his words at that mont. My head was just spinning. And there were clearly more questions than answers in this situation.

??But how did it happen? Why didn’t you tell

about this before???

Of course, I would not have even imagined that such a thing could happen, and Jeremy could actually et his wife. After all, the guy had run away from her all the way from the north, and it remained unclear to

how Selina de Loon could suddenly end up here in the south. Moreover, it also ant that our location was now known not only to the Empress, but also to the Duchess of the north.

Actually, no good news.

??I...I don’t even know,?? Jeremy hesitated, ??it all happened so suddenly that I just didn’t find the ti for it in all this turmoil.

Even though the guy told

about it so late, I was determined to find out anyway:

— And what is the result? To You... Did you manage to talk to each other?

??Talk???

The baron’s youngest son chuckled softly.

— ...

Sensing sothing was amiss, I frowned.

??If you have sothing to tell , you’d better tell it right now,?? I said. Still, since we were in the sa boat right now, I felt it necessary to tell each other such important things.

Jeremy hesitated, then asked:

??Do you really want to know about this...???

I nodded confidently. And in the end, the guy had to give up under the onslaught of my curiosity.

— Okay... — the friend sighed heavily, — Then I’ll tell you everything.
