“ I paid a boy to go to campus,” Devan said. “ There should be a healer still there.”
I squeezed Paula's hand. “ I have to go. We have to take something from my room, then we have to leave. I'm sorry.”
Paula's eyes were closed, and she seemed to have fallen asleep again. “ Inside you two,” muttered Paula, then lay still.
“ Can you accompany her for a moment?” I asked Devan who directly circled the table and knelt beside Paula. “ Come,” I said to Bella. “ We can change clothes in my room and take a map.”
Devan and Bella had already placed Echo in a more comfortable position, I saw her as we rushed down the corridor. I didn't stop to check on her condition anymore; the healer could help her when I got here. Inside my room, Bella and I took off our clothes, without any shame, and put on my two best dresses. Bella's dress is a little oversized, and less luxurious for a coronation ceremony, but not quite.
“ Which board huh?” I muttered to myself after I finished. Bella glanced at me with a questioning expression, so I explained. “ Before pargi, I hid the Map of King Ardan under one of the floorboards. I don't want anyone to find it, but I don't know a better place to hide it. Ah!” That one, half hidden under the bed, with a dark mode at the end. “ On the table there is a comb,”. “ Throw it at me.”
The cyclic handle was thin enough to slip between the two boards, and the board creaked as I gouged it. But the board that was loosely lifted and underneath, safe and secure, I found the gently rolled map. The genealogical paper and the clairvoyant's confession, which was kept under the floorboard, I also put it in my dress pocket.
“ Come,”. “ His coronation will start soon.” Bella nodded and followed me out and down the stairs. However, as we entered the second floor corridor, I ran over to Devan who was directly gripping my shoulder so that I would not fall.
“ Sst!” hiss Devan, one finger raised in front of his lips. “ I heard something downstairs.”
We're docked in the wall so they don't see us. “ Is there another exit?” whisper Bella.
I pointed. “ Through the server ladder. We can go to the garden door, and get out through there. Unless they leave the guard outside.”
“ We should try it,” Devan agreed to it, his hand already raised on the sword. “ But we have to go now.”
“ But Paula,” I said. “ And Echoes. Those people could hurt them even more. And the healer will come here.”
Devan showed a puzzled expression, and Bella clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles turned white. Devan shook his head. “ If they catch us, it's over, Amelia. There's no chance. Riana crowned queen.”
“ I can't leave it! He's hurt because of my saahku!” I knew I had to go. His coronation is about to begin, and if we want to be in Thorvaldor Hall to get everyone's attention. Yet it seemed that I could not move; I felt my legs chained to the floor.
