"What's the situation now?"
In a dark secret room, Lily anxiously asked the guard beside her. She seemed to hear the noises from the outside world getting smaller and smaller.
Then the two guards carefully looked out from the gap beside the secret room, saw several noble private soldiers patrolling and searching the courtyard, and then listened carefully for a long time before slowly retreating.
"Outside are the private armies of the nobles. We don't see any guards or soldiers from the direct legion." The two men spoke in a low voice.
After hearing this, the people in the secret room gradually felt a chill and despair.
The sounds of fighting outside have gradually disappeared, which means that one side has taken the dominant position and is gradually controlling the situation, but unfortunately, the victory is not their side.
The secret room fell into oppressive silence. As the queen, Lily tried her best to calm herself down. She slowly stroked the child in her arms, and then shifted her gaze to the bracelet with golden branches on her wrist.
At this time, we can only hope that Sifley can arrive in time.
Although she had a few supporters in the court, their loyalty was probably very limited, and the only person she could truly trust and rely on was this general.
As time passed slowly, the guards in the secret room could no longer suppress their emotions. They began to move their hands and feet restlessly and take small steps.
Just before everyone's patience and rationality gradually dissipated, Lily finally felt a special warmth coming from the bracelet.
Sifley has arrived.
A general in a black cloak quickly crossed the roof of the palace, landed outside this remote hall, and then scanned the area.
He felt that Lily should be around here, but there seemed to be no trace of her.
"It's General Sifley." A guard who was observing from the gap called out softly, his voice full of surprise.
"Go open the secret door and let Lord Sifley in." Lily said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then a stone door slowly opened, revealing a secret space hidden in the wall.
After hearing the sound, Sifley turned around and saw several people appearing. He understood what was going on and then entered the secret room silently.
"Your Majesty." After seeing that Lily and the prince were safe and sound, Severi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as these two were there, everything was not over yet.
"What's the situation outside now?"
"I saw the light pillar in the Blood Moon Hall shattered. I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Regent has met with misfortune. Most of the Rose Palace is now under enemy control, but my soldiers have retreated to the front of the palace and can hold out for a while."
"If I were alone, it would be difficult to take both His Majesty and the Prince away at the same time. It would be better for me to reunite with the soldiers in the front palace first, and then break out of Titania."
"As long as we can break through the enemy's encirclement, we can quickly summon vassals from all over the country to rescue us in the name of the royal family. Although there are many traitors among the nobles, there are still many people who are loyal to the royal family and His Majesty." Sifrey analyzed calmly.
Perhaps it was a branch of the royal family that initiated the rebellion, but that did not mean that all nobles would approve of it. Moreover, during the reign of the brothers Edren and Amank, they also promoted and cultivated a large number of their own forces. As long as they could be summoned, it would not be difficult to retake Titaneia.
"I understand all this, but I'm afraid those people won't give us a chance easily now." Lily said worriedly.
As the emperor of the empire, Aimank died in Dark Moon's assassination, and now Edren is gone too. It is too slim for them, mother and son, to escape from Dark Moon's pursuit.
After the Red Queen's Lily expressed her concerns, the other people in the room fell silent for a moment. In the recent battle, they had vaguely witnessed the power of those assassins. It would definitely not be easy to escape from their hands.
"I think there is another way we can try." At this time, the head maid on the side spoke.
"I know there's a secret underground passage in the palace that leads to the outside world, but if I want to get there now, I might attract the enemy's attention, so..."
"So?" Lily was puzzled when she saw her stop.
"So, please let me play the role of His Majesty and lead the pursuers away for you." Wen Na mustered up the courage to speak.
"As long as you wear the right clothes and a veil, most of those soldiers have never seen your true face and won't recognize you for a while." Once she started speaking, her words became fluent.
"This..." Although she had heard this way of expression in some knight novels or stories before, Lily never thought that it would happen to her one day.
Yes, it's an old trick, but you have to admit that it works in these critical moments.
"Your Majesty, please follow this lady's advice. There is no time to hesitate—"
"If you still want to live with the little prince." Severi decisively advised Lily to take this approach.
Lily struggled internally as she clenched and unclenched her fingers nervously. But looking at the uneasy child in her arms, her tears suddenly overflowed.
Yes, there is no choice.
"I understand." She wiped her tears and nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
Soon, everyone took action. First, the head maid and Lily exchanged coats, and then the little prince Hels took off his luxurious coat and put on a shabby and ill-fitting plain coat.
After completing the preparations, Sifley also made a plan. First, he would lead the queen played by Winna to break out and attract the attention of the outside world. Then a small group of people would take Lily into the secret passage.
Afterwards, Sifley would buy plenty of time to let Lily take Prince Hels to the outside of the palace, and then find an opportunity to reunite.
