Chapter 627 - Six Hundred And Twenty-Seven: The Escape (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Jasmine! Jasmine!” Akim whispered into her ears, trying to wake his sister up. Now he had uncovered the secret passageway, it was time to leave.

It didn't surprise him that Jasmine had fallen asleep, after all, the girl was still a growing kid who needed as much rest as possible for her well-being. Plus the fact the festival had bored her to death earlier. If not for his princely title and the mission at hand, Akim would have bowed his head and slept as well.

”Jasmine,” He shook her, ”It's time to leave, remember?”

This time she stirred, but then, sleep was still in her eyes.

”Brother?” She recognized him and slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes.

”I've finally found a way for us to leave the palace undetected,” Akim revealed to her and the cute dimple on her cheeks was revealed as she smiled.

”So we go now?!”

”Shush,” He pressed his finger against his lips, ”Keep your voice down,”

”Oh, right,” She whispered back and giggled sheepishly in a low tone.

”First, find a simple cloth,” Akim instructed her, ”If we're going to sneak out, we need to hide our status and be security conscious - we don't want to confirm mom's words that the outside is unsafe for us,”

Jasmine didn't waste time doing as her brother commanded her. But then, most of the clothes in her wardrobe were extravagant and befitting a royal.

”I can't find anything less expensive,” Jasmine complained timidly.

With a sigh, Akim went to her wardrobe and carefully searched through her clothing knowing it would be suspicious if the maids happened to search her room afterward and found it disorganized.

True to her words, there was nothing simple in there, every single one of her clothes was extravagant. Unlike him, Jasmine was the kingdom's sweetheart and their parents made sure she knew that - by buying her extravagant things. But then, his eyes managed to land on a latex superwoman jumpsuit. He picked it at once.

”I think this would do,” He raised it.

”I would look like a weirdo,” Jasmine lowered her lashes, ”I haven't really worn that yet. I was hoping that I would do so on Halloween with other kids,” She slowly stared up at her brother as she added, ”Outside,”

Akim smiled at her, ”You would look great and though it isn't Halloween, don't you think it's a wish come true to wear it outside as you wanted,”
