Chapter 223 - The Crown Prince’s Return (2/2)
I can see George smile gently. ”You really have a kind heart your highness. I will also help you the best that I can.”
”Thank you Sir George.” I thanked him from the bottom of my heart.
”Please princess, you can call me Uncle Geo.” George smiled warmly. I can feel that having him by my side helps lift some of my burdens.
”I will also help big sis.” Satiana said with pure dedication. ”It is the least I could do after what you have done for me this past year.”
”Do not worry your highness, I will do everything I can to help you on your escape.” Duke Matias said.
”Well princess, with everyone's help I am sure we can escape without any problems.” Jack had a huge grin on his face.
I looked at all of them with thankful eyes. I am lucky to have met such wonderful people. ”I won't forget all of your help. I will be sure to repay all of your kindness.” I stood up and made a bow towards them.
'Just in a weeks' time and I can escape this place.' I thought. 'Leon, how are you doing?'

Regaleon was riding his horse Midnight in a forest area. With him were Dimitri and his handful of men, escorting them from behind.
”Judging by the scenery, we will be crossing the border in two days' time your majesty.” Dimitri replied.
”Mm, I understand.” Regaleon replied.
Their pace was not fast but also not slow. Their group were wearing commoner's clothes and hooded cape to avoid suspicion from the people they pass by.
”Your majesty, are you sure you really don't want to go back to the capital before crossing the border?” Dimitri asked. ”You know that you can trust me with this mission. I will surely not fail you.”
Regaleon looked sideways towards Dimitri. ”Do you think that I doubt your capabilities?” He said with a cold tone.
”I-It's not that your majesty.” Dimitri worriedly denied Regaleon's words. ”I am just worried about leaving your commander's seat in the palace vacant.”
Regaleon understood Dimitri's worries. ”Don't worry too much Dimitri. I left the capital after arranging everything that needs to be arranged. With my capable advisors there, I trust they can do everything even with my absence. I also left a body double so that our enemies won't know I have already left the safety of the capital.”
Dimitri sighed. He was against Regaleon leaving the safety of the palace and the capital and go to a dangerous place. But Regaleon was hard headed and was dead set on doing to this mission himself.
”After crossing the border, we will be near the junction of the Duess Canal. General Vincent would be stationed near there.” Dimitri reported.
”The naval fleet of Jennovia is on the move and our sources says that the queen maybe with them.” Regaleon said in deep thought. ”She also left the confines of her palace, thinking that their sneak attack might be the opening for their victory. I also want to greet the queen personally.” He smirked.
