113 Escape Plan (1/2)
After successfully seducing Don into helping her, Darlene was hoping to be contacted by the mysterious person but until now they had not shown up to meet her.
Now she could only hope that Don pull some miracle and help her kingdom or she would have to escape Korrinth with her family leaving the kingdom to be conquered by the Agorians.
Loss of the access key was nothing to her since they already promised to let her join the group of Cold Moon Palace if she gets selected in the first place which she had absolute confidence in. And as far as she concerned, a small-time king like Don could never survive or get the full benefits from the dungeon even if he got all the keys in the continent and she felt pity about it.
”Darlene?”
As she was thinking about everything, Darlene saw Kate entering her room with a nervous look.
”Hey Katie”
Seeing the worried face of Kate, Darlene didnt show her thoughts on her face she greeted Kate with a smile
”What are we gonna do Darlene?”
Kate was shaking lightly and clutching her hands tightly as she looked at Darlene
”Don't worry Kate, Me and Don got this”
When Kate heard Don's name she couldn't help but frown and show her resentment
”Don't take this the wrong way Darlene but you deserve someone better than him”
Although it was true, Darlene had to keep up the act until she had no use for Don or Kate's arrogance could mess up everything
”Trust me, Katie. He's not what you are thinking, he promised to keep us safe and I believe him and you should too”
Kate sneered as she said
”Seriously Darlene? You're putting your trust in a guy who couldn't even cross the master level”
Darlene had a good chuckle inside seeing Kate's face as she said yet Darlene couldn't make fun of the only viable option at the hand
”That doesn't mean he can't help us, Kate”
”What made you like this guy in the first place Darlene? I thought you wanted to marry one of the Archeron Princes”
Like Kate said, Darlene always wanted to marry one of the two princes of the Archeron Kingdom and that was one of the reasons that she's aiming for the core disciple position in the Cold Moon Palace.If she could get the core disciple position and get into the top ten ranks in the Archeron Kingdom's tournament, she would achieve all of her ambitions.
However, without a good supply of resources and training, she couldn't even enter into the tournament since all the young cultivators would participate in the tournament from all over the empire including some of the princes from the star empire.
There were many events and tournaments coming which Darlene had to shine in order to get noticed by the princes of Archeron Kingdom. The ancient dungeon, the kingdom ranking, and the Archeron Kingdom tournament were the main ones.
And because of the sudden revitalization of life energy in the world, there would be even grandmaster level cultivators in the upcoming events and according to Darlene's teachers in her school, even the cast spelling time had become shorter and everyone predicted that the distinction between the long-ranged mage and close combat mage would soon disappear and everyone would be a combat mage.
Also, there would be numerous changes in many things in the future because of the revitalization of life energy.
”Katie, If you don't get what you like, like what you get ”
It was one of the many pieces of advice from Uncle Steve which she didn't believe in but it sounded like good advice.
”Wait, you are saying you love that guy because you didn't get one of the princes”
”All, I'm saying is you'll meet the right guy at the right time”
How could Darlene say it's all fake to Kate and explain, the mysterious person strictly said that she must not tell anyone about their meeting or any truth related to Don until they complete their mission. And also even if she told Kate, she knew Kate would run her arrogant mouth all over the place and treat Don to the point that he wants to leave the goddamn place and disappear.
”Whatever you say but I will only marry a man at least at peak great master level. I don't care what he specializes in”
”So you want to marry huh?”
