Chapter 313: Through Her Cloak
Eventually, the day of her escape finally came.
Samantha had prepared herself to leave for the ship’s port, and Elara was kind enough to lend her the invisible cloak she could use as a disguise. Turns out, the people had planned a firework feast on the night of her escape, and due to this, Brian could not escort her further, as his presence would certainly raise one suspicion or the other. He was also placed on night patrol, and Samantha hated the feeling of having to burden him with her own goals– whilst she demanded he stayed to keep a safe eye on his people.
"You’ll have to move on from here," said Brian as he looked down at the determined woman. "No one will sense you as long as the hood of your cloak never comes off. Last time’s incident should be a lesson learnt, I hope you thread carefully."
"I will." Samantha lowered her head in a bow of gratitude, and she smiled at Brian before covering her head with the hood of her green cloak. Every part of her was instantly veiled, and Brian could no longer gaze at her pretty face. He knew she had left the moment she slipped the hood on, and the only thing he could do from here was hope she returned safely to her Kingdom.
The prophecy that had been disclosed to him may be true, but he believed, regardless of what it held, that this gifted Fae would be the one to stop Carmela from tainting the innocent lives in their Kingdom. If Carmela’s intentions are exposed to the people, his name would be cleared, and his people won’t have to seek shelter in the forest.
There was still a little bit of time left before the ship moved, and that meant she had to hurry.
"God be with you."

Under the shrouds of midnight, Samantha swiftly made her way through the Kingdom’s turf, her footsteps muffled by the rhythmic burst of distant fireworks.
