Escape from the evil Chapter 150 - 11. The common goal

Chapter 150: Chapter 11. The common goal

The darkness of the camp enveloped

like a heavy blanket as I tried to make sense of what I had heard. After I managed to eavesdrop on the conversation between the heroine and the main villain, I was no less perplexed by this than I might have expected.

I couldn’t believe that the peace negotiations in this war were really the initiative of none other than the Crown Princess of this empire. After all, this was definitely the last person you would expect sothing like that from. A woman who had previously gone to war just to shed soone’s blood suddenly realized the value of human lives...? It seed absurd, as if fate itself had decided to play a prank.

Unsurprisingly, I have legitimate concerns about this.

Knowing full well about Caena de Ronan’s treacherous nature, I definitely couldn’t take everything at face value so easily. After all, who knows what this psychopath might actually be up to.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it until that day ca to an end. Then, returning to my tent to relax after a difficult day, I completely did not notice the presence of an outsider next to . And by the ti it did happen, it was already too late.

All of a sudden, when I was just walking through the camp and not touching anyone, I was grabbed and dragged into the darkness. Besides, since it was already quite late, there weren’t even any witnesses to this scene.

??What’s going on...?!??

In other words, what was happening made

seriously nervous.

— Is it really you, a lover of eavesdropping on other people’s conversations?

I was stunned at the mont when the place where I was suddenly dragged by force turned out to be nothing other than the tent of the second princess. At the sa mont, a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes appeared right in front of .

??.......??

I was completely speechless and just stared at her in silence.

anwhile, perhaps misinterpreting my reaction, Jerica de Ronan soon frowned and seriously stated:

— You’re talking to a mber of the royal family right now. Do you know that it’s pretty rude to keep wearing a helt in front of ? — she said with a slight reproach. I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassnt.

— ...

Before I could even let out a surprised sigh, the black helt that had previously served as an integral part of my disguise was abruptly removed from my head. And then we crossed eyes.

Obvious surprise was reflected in her blue eyes.

— Lady de Walt? — The princess asked, — Is it really you...?

Sowhat embarrassed, I awkwardly replied:

— That’s right...

The girl stared at

in amazent for a few more monts, as if she couldn’t believe her own eyes. Finally, she opened her mouth, and asked excitedly:

— But what are you doing here? And why you... Like this?

I hesitated.

— This... a long story.

Jerica de Ronan raised her eyebrows.

— What do you an by that? Didn’t I send my people with you before to help you get to a safe place? But then why... What happened to you?

At that mont, I involuntarily hesitated, because this story really seed too confusing to tell all at once. Besides...

I hesitated, wondering if I should ntion Jacob Osman’s direct involvent in all this, but eventually decided against it. Despite the fact that I fully trusted the main character, but still this information seed to

that it would be better to keep to myself.

— Your Highness, I’m sorry I couldn’t warn you... But due to unforeseen circumstances, I suddenly had to change my plans.

When I apologized guiltily to her, the princess, in turn, continued to stare at

warily.

— What circumstances are you talking about?

??I... I can’t say that.??

Although I expected a possible different reaction, Jerica still didn’t push

and insist on an answer. Instead, after a pause, she seriously stated:

— Lady de Walt, as you know, the southern border is currently a battlefield. It’s pretty dangerous here right now. But don’t worry. I will do my best to help you get out of here as soon as possible...

But at that mont, interrupting her, I objected:

— That won’t be necessary.

The second Princess asked in confusion:

??What do you an...???

I hesitated before answering.

— The thing is... That the Crown Princess and I have our own personal scores that I need to settle. And whatever happens, I have to do it myself.

The heroine’s blue pupils involuntarily opened after my words.

— Lady de Walt... Are you sure about this? — she finally asked.

— yes.

I nodded my head seriously, confirming my words.

— OK... I understand you,?? the girl sighed.

Soon, after hesitating, she also added:

??In that case, I just hope that you can take care of yourself.??

I nodded again.

??Thank you, Your Highness.??

??.......??

At that ti, in the short silence that had ford at that mont, a thought ca to my mind that I couldn’t help but voice out loud. In fact, there was another thing that also bothered .

??Your Highness, may I know why you actually ca here??? I hesitated, then asked, ??Do you know what the Crown Princess is really up to? I’m talking about that conversation you had...

When I ntioned this, Jericho’s expression instantly beca much more serious.

— I’m not sure about that yet... — in the end, the girl sighed, — But, in any case, I’m definitely not going to leave it just like that and I’m not going back until I’m absolutely sure what’s going on. After all, the future well-being of our empire also depends on the outco of this war.

The main character’s response turned out to be exactly what I expected. The second princess, who was the main protector of the Ruthven Empire, definitely couldn’t leave the future of her holand to its fate. It ant that all was not lost for

either.

— In that case, as long as we have a common goal, we should work together to succeed. Your Highness, what do you think about this?
