Chapter 761 Breaking out

Though Duke Yuletide said he understood, the things that he did showed that he was thinking the opposite.

After meeting us at the gate, we were led to his manor where he would be hosting us.

Along the way, we didn't meet a single person.

It was as if in this large Vayne City, everyone had disappeared.Yoouur favorite novels at novelhall.com

There wasn't a single person who was walking in the streets, it even seemed like the streets had been completely cleaned up of any traces of people with how barren it was.

The fourth prince knitted his brows before asking Duke Yuletide, "What is the meaning of this?"

Duke Yuletide just calmly said, "The people have better things to attend to, so they aren't here."

The way that he said this made it sound natural, but it was clear that he had a hand in this. It was clear that he had made sure that not a single person would be here as I was transported through the city.

If one didn't know better, they would have thought that he was completely on my side with how much he was doing to help me keep my prestige.

If I didn't know what he was truly about, he might have fooled me.

But I knew that this was clearly just nothing more than a ruse.

There was something that he wanted from me, which was why he was putting on this charade in the first place. He was doing all of this just so he could build up rapport with me.

Once he did that, he would surely try to use that rapport to get what he wanted from me.

I wasn't going to let myself be fooled by him, but at the very least, I should play along.

Seeing that there wasn't a single person in the street, I turned to give Duke Yuletide a grateful look.

Well, it wasn't the real key since this key was kept by the fourth prince and it would be impossible for them to steal it. So it was clear that this was some kind of replica that was made.

The only problem was how could they make a replica so soon...

Unless there was some kind of internal leak...

Or that would be the case if the fourth prince hadn't already planned for this and had leaked the key himself. That was the reason why they were able to make this key.

"Sir Zwein, please come with us. We are breaking you out." The leader of these people said this to me.

I looked at this person before saying, "And why should I go with you?"

The leader wasn't surprised since he knew that no one would just go with someone that they were meeting for the first time. So instead, he pulled out a token before saying, "This is the token of my master. He hopes to meet with you."

Seeing this, I gave a nod before standing up to follow them.

This was what I had been waiting for, even though I had no idea just what kind of move that person would make.

The last move I would have expected was a direct break like this, but they must have their reason for doing this...

The token that the leader had shown was the token of the Yuletide Family.

That meant that these people worked for Duke Yuletide.

It was no wonder the guards allowed them to knock them out that easily.

They must have already planned everything.

After breaking me free of my bindings, these people quickly took me away from the manor and into the streets of Vayne City.
