Chapter 224: In the most safe hands
Idris silently stepped into the car behind Casaio. The driver shut the door after him and returned to his seat, starting the engine as the vehicle pulled away from the estate.
"Where are we going, Your Highness?" Idris asked in a respectful and curious tone.
Casaio didn’t answer immediately. He leaned forward, retrieving a tablet from the storage compartment. With a swipe, he powered it on and pulled up an image. He turned the screen toward Idris.
The moment Idris saw the photo, his breath caught in his throat. His eyes widened in shock, blinking rapidly before they stilled.
"Your Highness, this..." he began, his voice faltering. No words came out of his mouth after that.
"Luke Hunter," Casaio said calmly. "That’s the name he registered under here. Do you happen to know his real name?"
Idris shook his head slowly, still stunned. "Everyone... everyone called him Master. I never heard another name."
"Hmm." Casaio gave a curt nod, shutting off the tablet and sliding it back into its place.
"We’re heading to a hospital. After your escape, we placed another body in your burned-down house as a decoy. A DNA test is being run to maintain the illusion that you’re dead. We need to ensure Luke never suspects otherwise."
