With Madam Silva's signal, Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and Elder Rain immediately went back to meet with the soldiers of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance that they have left behind.

Although the 4 of them were already prepared, what can they do with only the 4 of them, right? It's obviously impossible for them to just charge and attack and with this, and hoping that it will then create an opportunity for Leo to escape. In the first place, they aren't even sure whether Leo is already preparing to escape right now, and not to mention the 4 of them, with their injured state, can't handle tens of thousands of soldiers.

.....

At this moment, Leo and the others have finally returned back to the Snow Noble Household's Flyingboats. Aside from Veronica and Princess Tiana, the two people they were intending to rescue, Crown Prince Edward and Queen Triana are also with them right now.

The people from Snow Noble Household that saw Crown Prince Edward come out of the sewer system with Leo were immediately shocked, they even thought that their plan has been compromised. Fortunately, seemingly like he was expecting this already, Leo was fast enough to explain to them that everything is okay and that Crown Prince Edward is with them.

"Now that I've escorted you safely, it's time for me to go back to the castle, in case my father suddenly starts looking for them." Crown Prince Edward said to Leo.

"Are you sure that you'd be safe, though?" Leo can't help asking. No one might know aside from them that Crown Prince Edward has also betrayed the Silver royal family, or more appropriately had betrayed King Erskine because what they are doing right now is actually for the wellness of the Silver royal family, but it wouldn't take that long for King Erskine to notice that something is wrong, especially at this moment where Veronica's presence is required to meet up with Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris in order to confirm the truthfulness of the information that they have received.

"Acting has always been my forte, so you don't have to worry!" Crown Prince Edward smiled. What he had just said was actually the truth. From the moment he had been appointed as the Royal Judge of the Royal Court, he has always been acting tough in front of everybody in order for them to respect him. So, acting like Veronica, Princess Tiana, and even Queen Triana has escaped without him knowing anything about is easy, especially since King Erskine and those people loyal to the King don't know yet that he has already betrayed them.

"Okay," Leo nodded his head in understanding.

"Have a safe trip, older brother!" Princess Tiana and Ethan waved their hands to Crown Prince Edward.

"Be safe, you two!" Crown Prince Edward replied before going back to the castle using the secret tunnel that they have used.

After seeing Crown Prince Edward off, Leo then turned to look at the others, "At this moment, we can't do anything anymore aside from waiting until the opportunity for us to escape comes. Until then, let's rest to recuperate."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded their heads before going to a nearby Flyingboat to rest. Of course, Veronica, Princess Elaine, and Queen Triana needed to cover their faces with something not suspicious before leaving the tent that covers the entrance to the sewer system, so that those soldiers from the Silver royal family currently watching them wouldn't be able to recognize their identity.

.....

Meanwhile, the moment Crown Prince Edward returned, he immediately acted like Princess Tiana, Queen Triana, and Veronica has escaped.

Since no one was able to notice that they have escaped yet, Crown Prince Edward thought of a very good, wise plan, specifically, he went to report to his father himself that they have escaped, and even accidentally, or more appropriately, purposely leaking the information to Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris who was having an audience with his father, King Erskine, in the Throne room.

"What do you mean that they have escaped? How?!!" King Erskine stood up from his throne, enraged.

"Every guard in the underground prison was killed, none was left alive, so I wasn't able to get any information as to who has dared to attack us." Crown Prince Edward replied. He was obviously the one who killed those people, and just like what he has said, he killed them so that they won't be able to give information.

At the side, Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris can't help secretly smile. They were sure that it was Leo who had saved them. But they also can't help becoming shocked because base on what Crown Prince Edward had said, Leo was actually able to come and go without anyone noticing. This was just so astonishing... Did that young man really have that kind of capability? If that's true, then it's beyond shocking.

"The Mischievous Lion organization really knows how to surprise people," Patriarch Walter Skull whispered to Patriarch Simon Honoris's ears.

"It seems like we have greatly underestimated the capability of the Mischievous Lion organization." Patriarch Simon Honoris whispered back in reply.

"Most likely," Patriarch Walter Skull nodded his head.

Although Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris were whispering as silent as possible with each other, it was still enough for King Erskine to hear them. But what can he do? Base on their conversation, it was the Mischievous Lion organization that had saved Queen Triana, Princess Tiana, and Veronica, but yet not a single word has been spoken that revealed or confirmed that they have helped the Mischievous Lion organization rescue them.

"Then what are you still standing there around? Quickly look for them, they shouldn't have gone far from the castle yet! Search every nook and cranny of the Silver city, I want them found no matter what!" King Erskine ordered Crown Prince Edward and all of his officials present in the Throne room right now. He then turned to look at Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris as calmness return to his face, though it is still obvious to see that he was enraged, as he said, "How about let's go to the courtyard to drink some tea?"

Hearing that, Patriarch Walter Skull could only nod his head and agree in order to not raise any suspicion to their side. After all, if he indeed dares to decline, then King Erskine would immediately assume that they have helped the Mischievous Lion organization infiltrate inside the Silver city, and this might even cause those Flyingboats to be investigated as well, which is something he doesn't want to happen since they would definitely find those people they are looking for hiding over there.

Patrick Simon Honoris also understood this, so he calmed himself and smile as he nodded his head, "That would be wonderful! When was it the last time when we gathered with each other and have some tea?"

"I think it was a decade ago or so." Patriarch Walter Skull who noticed what Patriarch Simon Honoris wanted to do quickly replied.

"Hahahaha, we indeed haven't got the time to catch up with each other for so long already!" King Erskine nodded his head before leading the way to the courtyard.

"Although it's not a good time to have tea right now, but it's never been wrong to relax for a bit, right?" Patriarch Simon Honoris said.

"Indeed, this too much fighting is such a heavy burden even to myself!" Patriarch Walter Skull supported.

"Exactly!" King Erskine added.

At this moment, Crown Prince Edward immediately ordered the 3rd and 4th Gold Division to gather the moment he left the Throne room.

"Everyone, gather around, I, Crown Prince Edward, have brought with you a very bad news." Crown Prince Edward said as he stood on a podium with the 3rd and 4th Gold Divisions below him. He continued, "The traitor, Queen Triana, along with Princess Tiana and Veronica, has escaped. And base on the clues I have found, it is most likely the doing of the Mischievous Lion organization. We don't know yet how they have infiltrated the Silver city, but we do know and are also sure that they still haven't gone far away yet. Therefore, everyone, let's search to the northwest! Let's search every place over there to look for those people who have betrayed the Silver royal family! Kill those evil people!"

"Kill those evil people!"

"Kill those evil people!"

"Kill those evil people!"

With that said, the 3rd and 4th Gold Division immediately marched northwest to look for those evil people following the lead of Crown Prince Edward, who was currently wearing a cunning smile on his face.

Unbeknownst to everyone in the 3rd and 4th Gold Division, Crown Prince Edward was actually bringing them to the farthest part of the Silver City in order for them to not be able to easily send reinforcement when the battle between the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance versus Silver royal family begins. With two elite Divisions missing, it would definitely cause a massive disadvantage to the Silver royal family's army.

Although Crown Prince Edward really wants to lend more help, with his current state right now, this is the only thing he could do, yet... Truth be told, he will definitely return back to assist the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance once he is assured that the 3rd and 4th Gold Division is already far enough from the battlefield. With him suddenly disappearing at that time, to be more specific the Commander of their two Gold Divisions, the soldiers would definitely be sent into confusion and panic, causing them to not know what to do anymore, specifically to join the battle in the south or to look for their currently missing Commander. This would then add more time on top of the distance they need to travel in order to lend a hand on the battlefield. No one knows. Maybe the moment they finally arrived, the war would long be already over, with the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance winning the war.

"I wish you guys good luck!" Crown Prince Edward silently whispered.
