Chapter 99: Caravan To Burton
The next morning, the Princess’ maids woke everyone up right at dawn by bringing in food and getting the Princess awake and ready for the day, while Dominic sat in the side bedroom and tried not to laugh at her complaints.
After ten minutes, one of the servants came into the room and motioned for Dominic to come out, as Princess Alexis was properly dressed now, and the food was getting cold.
"The King has prepared the caravan for you, and the extra wagons are loaded with supplies, to be stored in the Keep, in case of siege.
Some of the others have already left, and the unit is on its way to Burton. The caravan will be six trucks, masquerading as merchant supplies." The Palace staff member explained.
Dominic nodded in understanding. It was simple enough to pretend to be merchants, but much harder to fool any spies that might be watching for the caravan to leave the Palace.
"Where is the caravan staged?" He asked.
Alexis smirked as she realized where his mind had gone. After an assassination attempt on the both of them, it would be far too easy to track them down again if whoever the traitors still in the Palace were got to watch them get in and leave.
"The main staging area is being used by the Crown Prince and his Regiment. Your caravan is at the Commoner Staging area. Just be sure that you get the right one, as there is another Royal Caravan in disguise waiting there." She explained.
Dominic smiled. That worked much better for him. The staging area should be packed with adventurers who were looking for easy money dealing with the excess Goblins while the Army dealt with the invasion force.
