Chapter 216 - To Meet with Potential Allies (1/2)

My body has regained its health after a few days of rest. I am currently in my mother's room this morning as usual, before eating breakfast.

'How is your health Alicia?' My mother asked telepathically.

Now that my mother has regained her consciousness, she still has to play like a lifeless doll with little to no emotions to fool my aunt. And so our conversations are done telepathically to avoid others from hearing my mother.

'Don't worry mother, I am perfectly fine.' I smiled to reassure her.

My mother sighed. 'If only you were in your full health when you received that blow form my sister's gravitation magic. Your body wouldn't have broken down like that.'

My mother was worried when I wasn't able to visit her for more than a week. I wasn't able to move that much within that long period of time because of the impact I have gotten from my aunt's magic trap. My body was weak from breaking my mother's mind barriers before receiving the damage from the magic trap, which is why my mother is blaming herself for what happened to me.

'It's not your fault mama. Please don't blame yourself.' I held her hand. 'By the way, our escape plan is all settled. By the end of this week, we can escape from here.'

'I am afraid I will just slow you down?' My mother asked. 'It is okay to leave me here. Patricia might be a cruel person to her enemies but she won't harm me.'

I shook my head lightly. 'No mama. I won't ever leave you behind. We have been separated for so many years now and I thought you were dead in all that years. Now that we have reunited, I don't want us to be apart.' I looked at her, standing firm with my words.

'I understand.' My mother smiled lightly. 'I will do my best to not slow you down.'

'But before escaping, I need to do something first.' I said.

I caught information that my aunt, Queen Patricia, will be out of the capital for a week to visit the soldier's camps and bases down south.

'It is the best time to meet with the Jennovian noble resistance while Aunt Patricia is away.' I told my mother. 'After breakfast, I will be visiting the head of the noble resistance to discuss about things that they must know.'

This past week, I have given Jack a mission to find the leader of the resistance. And as expected of him, he was able to find the identity of the leader in no time. The leader of the resistance was no other than Duke Matias, the head of one of the oldest and powerful families in Jennovia.

I have sent Duke Matias a secret letter which contains my intention of meeting him. He replied immediately and has set the date of our meeting today.

So that our meeting won't seem conspicuous, I asked Satiana to accompany me to the Matias estate. Duke Matias has a daughter the same age as Satiana and coincidentally they were good friends. I told Satiana that I was bored being cooped up in my room when I was sick and wanted to meet one of her friends. I expressed my intention to be acquainted with Duke Matias' teenage daughter. Satiana happily agreed and we set our departure after breakfast.

'Do you think that the resistance will ally with us?' My mother asked.

'If they hear everything about what I know, then I am sure they will aid us.' I said.

The resistance is still hesitant in opposing the queen. But if they knew that their country is in danger, then I am sure they would be willing to take down the queen from her position before it is too late.
