Chapter 773 - Seven Hundred And Seventy-Three: Every Prince Went With Reinforcement (2/2)

Akim got rid of the note before he got out of the class to his guards who were waiting right outside for him. Anika was really smart to keep that away from them. He followed them home and acted as if nothing happened at all.

Even back at the palace, Akim acted responsibly. Although he was unusually quiet at dinner, his parents took it that he was still brooding over the fact they had him grounded for a week. Hence, no one suspected of the escape he was planning tonight.

Well all except his sister, Jasmine, because when he anticipated everyone had gone to bed and was ready to unlock the secret hallway, a voice said from behind him, ”Where are you going?”

Akim was startled out of his mind and turned around to see that it was no one but his sister.

”Thank God,” He breathed, hand on his chest.

”Why are you thanking God?” Little Jasmine frowned, with her arms crossed over her chest.

”For the fact that it is you and you alone,” Akim said. If it had been his parents, he would have died on the spot from fright.

”You are leaving? Where to?”

”Anika wants us to see,”

”Anika? The one who daddy said was an enemy?”

Akim turned sharply, so she heard their argument.

”Well, yes. Actually, she wants to confess to me,” Akim confessed to her.

”And what if it's a trap, Akim. Father already said she must have intentionally approached you,” She came to hug his waist, ”I don't want to lose you like grandma,”

Akim's heart stopped for a moment and he wondered why he was taking this risk in the first place.

”Don't worry, you won't lose me, ”He assured her,” And I'm happy that you're here because you'd be the one to inform mommy and daddy that I'm gone,” Akim told her and then searched around for a stopwatch he gave to her.

”You see that? Once it's thirty minutes gone, inform daddy that I'm in the town square and they will come to find me and keep me safe,” Akim smiled at her causing Jasmine to smile back.

As much as Akim trusted Anika, every prince went into war with reinforcement.
