Chapter 179. As You See Fit
"True, what if Mauve discloses this to the King herself? Your plan was not exactly very smooth, anyone could tell there was an ulterior motive to your suggestions." Mill said but she was bluffing.
Danag’s plan was pretty obvious but she knew Mauve concentrated more on the words than the intent behind them. So, even if Mauve did notice what Danag was trying to do, she did not pay it any mind as it aligned with her plan of wanting to leave this place.
She didn’t want to admit it but Danag was right, Mauve was indeed the fastest route to get out of here. She knew first hand how important she was to him as
"The princess would not do such and even if by some chance..." Danag paused dramatically, she did not need anyone to tell her he was hinting at her. "The King happens to hear of this, I am ready to bear the consequences. Now, if you would excuse me, I have important matters to attend to."
"Wouldn’t it be defiance to the King if I keep quiet about this?"
He squinted his eyes as he stared hard at her. "Do as you see fit, as I have said I am ready to bear the consequences."
Mill opened her mouth to speak but Danag was already walking down the stairs. She did not stop him, she just stood by the top of the stairs watching the distance between them increase.
She could not understand his desperation enough to use Mauve but considering he had to go this far, Mill can only imagine that it must be quite serious.
Now that she thought about it, she didn’t think she had ever been away from the castle, let alone for this long. Maybe that’s why she wasn’t in so much of a hurry to return.
