Chapter 297: Crown Prince Edward’s scheme (1/2)

With Madam Silva's signal, Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and Elder Rain immediately went back to meet with the soldiers of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance that they have left behind.

Although the 4 of them were already prepared, what can they do with only the 4 of them, right? It's obviously impossible for them to just charge and attack and with this, and hoping that it will then create an opportunity for Leo to escape. In the first place, they aren't even sure whether Leo is already preparing to escape right now, and not to mention the 4 of them, with their injured state, can't handle tens of thousands of soldiers.

.....

At this moment, Leo and the others have finally returned back to the Snow Noble Household's Flyingboats. Aside from Veronica and Princess Tiana, the two people they were intending to rescue, Crown Prince Edward and Queen Triana are also with them right now.

The people from Snow Noble Household that saw Crown Prince Edward come out of the sewer system with Leo were immediately shocked, they even thought that their plan has been compromised. Fortunately, seemingly like he was expecting this already, Leo was fast enough to explain to them that everything is okay and that Crown Prince Edward is with them.

”Now that I've escorted you safely, it's time for me to go back to the castle, in case my father suddenly starts looking for them.” Crown Prince Edward said to Leo.

”Are you sure that you'd be safe, though?” Leo can't help asking. No one might know aside from them that Crown Prince Edward has also betrayed the Silver royal family, or more appropriately had betrayed King Erskine because what they are doing right now is actually for the wellness of the Silver royal family, but it wouldn't take that long for King Erskine to notice that something is wrong, especially at this moment where Veronica's presence is required to meet up with Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris in order to confirm the truthfulness of the information that they have received.

”Acting has always been my forte, so you don't have to worry!” Crown Prince Edward smiled. What he had just said was actually the truth. From the moment he had been appointed as the Royal Judge of the Royal Court, he has always been acting tough in front of everybody in order for them to respect him. So, acting like Veronica, Princess Tiana, and even Queen Triana has escaped without him knowing anything about is easy, especially since King Erskine and those people loyal to the King don't know yet that he has already betrayed them.

”Okay,” Leo nodded his head in understanding.

”Have a safe trip, older brother!” Princess Tiana and Ethan waved their hands to Crown Prince Edward.

”Be safe, you two!” Crown Prince Edward replied before going back to the castle using the secret tunnel that they have used.

After seeing Crown Prince Edward off, Leo then turned to look at the others, ”At this moment, we can't do anything anymore aside from waiting until the opportunity for us to escape comes. Until then, let's rest to recuperate.”

”Okay!” Everyone nodded their heads before going to a nearby Flyingboat to rest. Of course, Veronica, Princess Elaine, and Queen Triana needed to cover their faces with something not suspicious before leaving the tent that covers the entrance to the sewer system, so that those soldiers from the Silver royal family currently watching them wouldn't be able to recognize their identity.

.....

Meanwhile, the moment Crown Prince Edward returned, he immediately acted like Princess Tiana, Queen Triana, and Veronica has escaped.

Since no one was able to notice that they have escaped yet, Crown Prince Edward thought of a very good, wise plan, specifically, he went to report to his father himself that they have escaped, and even accidentally, or more appropriately, purposely leaking the information to Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris who was having an audience with his father, King Erskine, in the Throne room.

”What do you mean that they have escaped? How?!!” King Erskine stood up from his throne, enraged.

”Every guard in the underground prison was killed, none was left alive, so I wasn't able to get any information as to who has dared to attack us.” Crown Prince Edward replied. He was obviously the one who killed those people, and just like what he has said, he killed them so that they won't be able to give information.

At the side, Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris can't help secretly smile. They were sure that it was Leo who had saved them. But they also can't help becoming shocked because base on what Crown Prince Edward had said, Leo was actually able to come and go without anyone noticing. This was just so astonishing... Did that young man really have that kind of capability? If that's true, then it's beyond shocking.

”The Mischievous Lion organization really knows how to surprise people,” Patriarch Walter Skull whispered to Patriarch Simon Honoris's ears.
