"Young Master."
Iaros glanced at Maria who was following in his footsteps. "Is there a problem?"
"It seems like some of Miss's personal bodyguards and Young Master's right hand started to spread around this district. If it continues to be left, I'm afraid they found this place."
Iaros instantly fell silent, racking his brain to find a solution.
His brothers and sisters cannot be underestimated. Even the bodyguards of his sister and elder sister were hard to fool.
Iaros felt it would take even longer, but if it kept quiet, it would only be necessary to count down until they found its place.
"Not ignore it first. Responding to them would be suspicious. I'll move if it's completely surrounded."
"good. I'll keep monitoring."

Kamila could only stare blankly at her hands and feet which were now no longer able to leave the bed. He awoke from a terrible dream only to stare at a terrible reality.
"Didn't the Young Master become more sensitive than last time?" The hallucinations always came whenever Kamila was silent. "He forbids you to sleep with Mom because your bedmate is just him. Then now you refuse his gift and he shortens the reach of your chain."
Kamila's gaze shifted on the flowers down there. So close to the bed, but so far from where it can reach.
"What are you gonna do?"
Kamila. Keep silent with your hands firmly clenched.
What's wrong with his life? Did Kamila have to experience this from the time she was born until she died?
I'm sick.
I'm sick of being me.
I'm sick of being a puppet.
"Camila."
I'm sick of hearing Iaros's voice.
Kamila. Closing his eyes as Iaros sat in front of him, instantly stroking Kamila's face full of gentleness.
"What's wrong?"
The girl shook her head. "I miss you."
Iaros smile. "of course. I'm also."
"Hug me."
His body was instantly buried in Iaros's arms, making his chains sound faintly drawn.
"I think it's time to eat. You hungry? I've cooled the porridge for you here."
There were not many sounds Kamila let out. He sat obediently where Iaros wanted to, taking a mouthful of porridge from him as he began to tell him about the next things that would be shown to Kamila.
Then lay down again, slept again, and woke up alone again.
But this time Kamila did not open her eyes. Just pretending to sleep even though his mind remains conscious.
I'm gonna get out of here. Only that thought comforted as well as hurt him.
"Miss."
Kamila jerks. Opening his eyes and surprised to find Maria, Iaros' servant, emerging from the steel door in the corner of the room. "You—"
"Shh." Maria approached. Unceremoniously removing the shackles from Kamila's hands and feet. "Come, Miss. I'll take Miss away."
Confusion rules Kamila. But Maria didn't let it go, kept pulling it up until Kamila was blown away.
Wh why? Why did Mary, who had been with Iaros since childhood, help him escape?
"Iaros will kill you." Kamila tried hard to keep running because her hand was pulled. "Iaros will make sure your death is painful, Maria. Why are you doing this?"
Maria kept running. "Mrs Hera ordered me."
Hera? Aether's Wife? Wh why?
Of course he's looking for Iaros but if he already knows where he is, why is it that only Kamila was taken away?
"Come, Miss. Please run faster."
Kamila was already panting and felt like fainting. But he continued to force his feet to run down this long passageway. "Where is Iaros?"
"The bodyguards of the Young Miss and the right hands of the Young Master roam around here. Therefore Young Master Iaros inevitably had to go to secure the surroundings."
That's why they can run.
Although there were many things Kamila wanted to say, she decided to clench her lips. His breathing was already very heavy as a light grew closer, closer and closer.
I free?
Kamila's heart was pounding increasingly harder. Maybe it was because he was running so fast imposing the capacity of his body. But it is also because of the enthusiasm and small desire of knowing how the outside world looks.
What is the sky like outside the castle walls? Is it really different from the sky above the castle? What if it was different? What if the air is different? What if the temperature is different?
Kamila doesn't know. It seems like he is getting more and more stupid and stupid.
But Kamila smiled wider.
And as she stood in the middle of the human crowd somewhere, Kamila was dumbstruck.
I'mfree.
Without Iaros, without anyone.
