Chapter 161: Change of Plan

"Why did  you need to do all this?"

"I just do what I need to do, Blaire. My mother wants to keep hiding, but my sister thinks there is just one road to the d. And I agree with her.

So I decided to help her reach her goal; this all happed before I met you."

Blaire turned silt as Aurora's words barely lingered in his mind. If he were a computer, his mind would now show a blue scre of death. It completely hanged.

In all his life, this was the first time he didn't know what to do or say. After some thought, he asked.

"Aurora, you say you won't leave me now. What if my existce becomes a danger to your sister th?"

Aurora's eyes flickered for a momt.

"That doesn't matter, you are here now. What can you do, Blaire?

Tomorrow, this kingdom will be turned upside down. And no one, not ev the Stinel or my mom, can change it.

They will have no choice but to do what my sister wants."

"You don't plan to kill the stinel?"

Aurora chuckled. "There is no way we can kill him, and it's very stupid.

As we say, we don't want to keep hiding. But it doesn't mean hiding from the Felidas; it means hiding from the war out there.

There are many things you don't know, Blaire, and it's better if you never know.

Let's just live our lives somewhere far away from everyone. I have made a plan for us to escape. Of course, not before I make sure you are mine."

A few hours passed by, and in the Blaire mansion, the atmosphere became tse.

Blaire hasn't returned nor responded to any of her messages, making her feel worried. She proposed for them to check the palace, but William fervtly declined.

"It's not that I don't want to help him, but it's very dangerous to go there now.

There is a big change; the king already knows all of our plans. Going there is the same as suicide."

"You say that because you don't care about him!" Sasha turned her gaze to Alex, who had be deep in thought all this time and started begging him to help.

She knew, as he was the Stinel voy, his word carried the biggest weight. As long as he agreed, William wouldn't say anything.

Lily, meanwhile, felt conflicted. Despite what she knew of Blaire now, her hate didn't just magically disappear.

Hearing a story wasn't ough to erase all of those.

A small part of her felt relieved that her frid would be freed from Blaire if he was dead. But seeing how much pain Sasha was in, she couldn't bear it.

"Let me go, I will just fake the trip as checking on my family. They won't find it weird.

Ev if they know about our plan, I doubt they will do anything to me."

Sasha was conflicted. She didn't want her frid to go into danger, but it's not like there were other choices. She felt both guilty and helpless in the situation.

Alex, meanwhile, had two thoughts now.

His logic told him it was better to wait to confirm the situation. If the king still goes to the auction, that means Blaire is stuck because of a differt reason.

He couldn't remove the possibility of Blaire betraying them. This made Alex regret not making him sign a slave contract. If he had done that, he would know the truth now.

But despite what his logic told him, his heart told him otherwise. Seeing Sasha reminded him of his own past. He empathized with her.

If there was someone capable of helping his father in the past but decided to stay still, he would rest them.

With a sigh, Alex th made a decision. He didn't want to do anything that would make him unable to sleep at night.

"I will look for him. Lily, you stay here.

If there is no news from me, follow our first plan, ambush him with all the guardian squad wh the king goes to the auction." Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"William, you and Sasha should bring Blaire's people and start rescuing the hostages."

He th turned his gaze towards Sasha. "I know you just woke up, but the situation won't let you rest now. We need every hand on deck.

You should be familiar with Blaire's m; help William in tracking the hostages and make a plan to rescue them."

Alex doesn't instruct Roxy since he knows she will follow William no matter where he goes. He th added, "Be careful. If things go awry, just escape. I will find you later."

Before the others could respond, Alex left the premises. He already knew the palace's location.

He now was moving on foot. Using Qi to hance his body and move at the maximum speed allowed him to reach the location quickly, not less than using the chariot.

But Alex did this on purpose. While he jumped from building to building, he tried to track if there was a fairy race hidd in the populace.

Before, from a chariot, he was moving too high in the sky to search the area carefully.

A fairy is differt than a Feladine; they are not corrupted like them. So, ev if they use something to disguise their presce, Alex will still be able to detect their life force.

But not all lifeforce means he found a fairy.

There are other possibilities what he found is a pet. Alex has se some of the populace also take care of animals with heads like dogs, but all of them were small in size. Their size is like that of guinea pigs.

As he leaped in the air, Alex stopped in one of the tree branches. He turned his gaze downward to a nearby outdoor seating area.

There was a Felidaean sitting there on the bch, looking in a daze towards a nearby fountain. The man had bony ears and tails, but Alex could feel life force ergy coming from him.

He put a thought, th asked Vesa to translate his language to the fairy. Approaching the man from behind, he asked, "Excuse me, sir, what is my next mission?"

"Ask the princess about it," the man replied without looking back.
