Fake Princess
CHAPTER 134
“ They do not even allow his body to be buried in public. The reason is to prevent the spread of the disease. And the coronation will be held tomorrow, just as Melani said. They did not even wait for the delegation from Wenth and Farvasee. They were forced to offer their condolences when they arrived several weeks later. And his coronation will not be done openly for everyone—everyone who enters the gate of the palace will be examined by a palace guard and a witch from campus. To keep the princess safe.”
Devan sat on the ground, his legs stretched forward as he pulled off his boots. “ And that's all we know. But there's something else. The city gate is also supervised, to make sure no ‘ dangerous elements’ enter the city. I think,” Devan said as he swept his hair by hand.
“ I think Melani's men got here before us and told her you'd run away. If a courier uses two horses and drives them all out, he can definitely get ahead of us. So, maybe Melani will look for us at the city gate.” Devan was silent, looking at me. He looked just as tired as I suddenly felt, as torn as a torn screen in the wind.
Long enough, none of us spoke. My mind raced again, but without hsil. However, finally, Bella said, “ But you're a witch. You can disguise us, or turn us out of sight. Something that can get us into the city and palace.”
“ I'm an unexpected witch,” I replied with a sigh. “ I don't know if Devan has told you or not, but I haven't really been able to control my magic. My magic is too much, and it takes too long to bury under a spell. Often, when I try to use it, the magic will roll out and I blow something up.”
I shifted, trying to sit comfortably on the ground but to no avail. “ Maybe I can use a spell so we can get into the city gate,” I finally admit. “ But magic will not be successfully used in the gate of the palace. The witch must have been watching the magic, waiting to sniff out the slightest magic. They'll realize that I'm trying to put us in a magic disguise, and the guards will definitely catch us if we don't use a magic disguise.”
“ Well, you will spend your whole life in that palace. What do you mean you never found a secret passageway or tunnel? Something no one else knows.”
I shook my head. “ Nothing—“
“ By a God Without a Name, we are so stupid,” whispered Devan. “ Door King Ardan.”
“ The door can open from both sides,” I quickly said. “ And now we're with Bella. The door will appear if there is him. “ Royal blood.” But we need the map—without the map, I'm not sure I can find the exact location of the door from the other side of the castle castle.”
We grinned at each other, so wide that we definitely looked like crazy.
“ Sorry to interrupt,” Bella said quietly from the darkness, “ but what door are you guys talking about?”
I woke up before dawn, when the stars were still scattered in the sky and others were still asleep. It was still too early to try incognito spells and enter the city gates. I closed my eyes tightly, and tried to force myself to sleep again but to no avail. So I finally stood up and, taking a slow sip so as not to ponder Devan and Bella sleeping in the straw barn, slipped out to see the dawn.
