"Then let's get started."
After saying that, Sifley and a group of guards protected Winna and left quickly. At first, they walked quietly, and after walking for a while, they began to move quickly after being discovered.
Shouts and horns rang out again in the Rose Palace, followed by the sound of noisy and hurried footsteps rushing in one direction.
Taking advantage of the chaos, three elite guards took Lily and the prince to Winna's place. They had changed into the clothes of the nobles' private soldiers, and the little prince was also wrapped in a dark brown coat, like a wounded soldier who needed treatment.
Although the process was very thrilling, fortunately these private soldiers came from different families and were not familiar with each other, so they were not exposed for a while, allowing them to pass through several palaces safely and reach the lower level of the palace canal.
After opening the fence manhole cover, three people, one in front and two behind, protected Lily and the prince in the middle and began to move through it.
The first half of the underground passage was a normal sewer, and the second half was a secret tunnel. Only after finding the secret door did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Then a guard lit a candle and cleared the way ahead, and a group of people walked quickly through it.
The air is a bit chilly, but fortunately it doesn't smell bad. It's probably because this place has been closed for a long time, so it's a bit stuffy.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they estimated that they had left the Rose Palace, and a hidden faint light appeared in front of them. Pushing open the closed stone bricks and wooden boards, a series of creaking sounds were heard. When they walked out, they found that there seemed to be a cellar around them, storing a lot of smoked meat and food.
"It should be in the home of a nobleman." Looking at the high-quality hams hanging around, a guard analyzed.
Hearing this result, they were both happy and worried. Fortunately, Lily spoke in time and allowed them to calm down for the time being.
"Let's go out and see whose mansion it is. The situation isn't completely bad yet."
After all, those who initiated the rebellion were a minority, and even the nobles might not be able to stop the guards beside them. Although there were only three of them, all of them were Sequence 6 Transcendents.
Several people walked out of the cellar quickly and smashed open the closed door, which caused a commotion. Several guards in the mansion quickly came over at the servants' shouts.
"Who are you?" They looked at the clothes of several people, their pupils shrank and they were very nervous.
"Who is your master?" Lily took a deep breath, took off her helmet, and revealed her face.
Perhaps it was the queen's majesty that she had cultivated in her daily life. Lily's words reminded the guards of some important figures. Their hearts tightened, and they quickly revealed the identity of the owner of this mansion.
"Our master is Viscount Vansden of the Adonis family."
The Adoni family is a family with a long history in the empire. Although not very prominent, there is a viscount and two barons in the family. They live in the imperial capital all year round. They have a good family tradition, but they are also relatively low-key and usually only interact with a few nobles in a small circle.
Lily quickly recalled the Viscount, and a picture flashed through her mind. It was when Aimanke was still alive. He invited several people to dinner in the palace, including the Viscount.
"Fan Sden is good at playing black and white chess. When I was a prince, I often played chess with him. Unfortunately, due to his personality, he is not very willing to help me." This was what Aimanke said about Fan Sden at the time.
Although the Viscount did not receive any promotion or benefits after Aimank ascended the throne, at least in Aimank's heart, he was a trustworthy friend.
Could it be that he had anticipated this day? Lily couldn't help but wonder, and she had a feeling that this was the truth.
During the years she spent with Aimanke, she gradually became familiar with the character of her husband and emperor. He was the kind of person who tried to consider everything carefully, and it was hard to say that he had not made preparations in advance for a possible overthrow.
After all, he himself came to power through a coup, so he would naturally be wary of the possibility of the same retaliation.
After Aimank ascended the throne, he only invited a few people from Vansden to dinner in the early days, and then there was no contact or care, as if he had forgotten these old friends. Now it seems that this was a kind of protection to avoid being uprooted when a crisis occurred.
After a few negotiations, the guard went to inform the Viscount, and soon Van Sden appeared at the entrance of the cellar.
He asked the other guards to withdraw first, then half-knelt and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty. I am relieved and relieved that you are safe and sound."
"Was this tunnel built under the guidance of the Emperor in the past?"
"Yes, your majesty."
"I see. Does he have any other means to stay?"
"Please follow me. Time is urgent. I will talk as we walk." Then Van Sden took Lily and others and left quickly.
Although they had escaped from the Rose Palace, they were not safe. Titaneia had been controlled and sealed off by the rebels. If they wanted to leave the city, they would probably have to take another secret passage.
"Your Majesty dug five secret passages leading out of the palace. He also told five loyal attendants or servants around him about these secret passages so that they could be used in critical moments."
As long as one of these five people is alive or loyal, he can use the secret passage in times of crisis. Moreover, they do not know the identities of the other four people and the existence of the four secret passages, which also prevents the possibility of betrayal leading to total exposure.
"However, although there are five secret passages from the palace to the city, there is only one secret passage from the city to the outside."
"Titania is a magnificent city built by humans and elves a thousand years ago. Even sages and witches participated in its construction, offering their blessings and protection. Breaking through the tightly protected barrier of Titania without attracting attention is extremely difficult."
