Chapter 287 Escape Route (1/2)

The queen's study room.

The royal couple was happy to have their son visited them, finally.

Queen Margaret and King Antone and Princess Abigail take each turn to hug and welcome back Adam.

”How are you, son?” King Antone asked.

”I'm fine, Father,” he answered.

”How's the modeling work?” the queen inquired.

”Going great, as usual, Mother,” he responded cheerfully.

Princess Abigail whispered something into her brother's ears. ”When are we going to visit the beach again? I miss it already,” she said. The first time she went to see the beach she fell in love with the majestic surrounding encompassing the beach, the shoreline is breathtaking, the sand is white as snow.

Adam smiled at his sister. ”Just tell, Jessy, she's the boss...”

Princess Abigail's eyes sparkled. ”Okay, I will go to her room now and set an appointment with her!”

The princess bounced on her toes and exited the study room like a breeze of sunshine.

The king and the queen looked at each other.

”What was that about—?” frowning, the king asked.

Adam smiled. ”My baby sister complained that she is bored to death here inside the Facility. So, at one time, she asked Jessy to bring her out. Jessy brought my sister to my place and we visit the beach together,” he said. ”Ah, by the way, don't worry Father and Mother, my sister is safe in the company of two of the most powerful being alive on earth,” he added to the point of bragging.

”Okay,” the queen murmured.

The king coughed a little. ”Talking about safe, son, hopefully, if one day the Facility will under attack by enemies, hope you will also be able to take care of your other sibling, not only your sister...”

Adam knew very well who the person his father was talking to, his brother Zain. ”Don't worry, Father, I will save everyone in our family that includes you, Mother and Zain. I will not leave anyone behind,” he said.

”You and your brother are not in a good relationship right now, he might still be angry with you but please don't give up on him. I'm still hoping he can learn to forgive you and let go of Jessy,” the queen said sadly.

Adam released a deep sigh. ”I and my brother Zain had already talked about our situation. I had apologized to him but he doesn't want to released Jessy. He gave me two options, transfer my power to him and live in that prison room for a few years so that he can finally forgive me and things will go back to normal between us.”

Queen Margaret and King Antone looked at each other, they both know that Zain continues to hold on to his stubbornness and grudge so that he can punish them and Adam through psychological and emotional torture as his form of revenge, the couple sighed heavily.

”What is it, Mom and Dad?” Adam asked worriedly, he can see the pain on his parent's faces.

”Nothing, son. Just don't mind your brother, he will concede sooner or later. He is trying to make us bend to his will, hope you won't fall for it,” King Antone said.

Adam nods his head. ”I understand, Father...”

Queen Margaret put a map on the table in front of them. ”Son, before you come here, your father and I were discussing on digging a tunnel as our escape route just in case the Facility will be under attack. This tunnel here, will run for fifty kilometers long and the exit will end in a mountainside away from here...” she pointed at the tallest mountain on the left side.

Adam inspected the tunnel route for a few minutes. Finding no fault at it, he spoke, ”It's good enough, Mother,” he commented.
