After a short rest, Estelle and Sachis started walking again. Their pace was naturally slow due to the king’s condition. The corridor was filled with turns, but Sachis walked straight ahead without hesitation.

At some point, Estelle grabbed the king’s sleeve in a fluster. “There is somebody ahead,” she said, having seen the mana of multiple people around the next corner.

“You’re quite sharp, Lady Estelle. That path leads outside. My subordinates should be guarding it.”

Estelle froze up under Sachis’s mildly questioning look.

Should I tell him about my power? But... Estelle hesitated for a moment, but shrugged off the thought. She wanted to discuss it with Arcrayne first.

“I grew up in the mountains, so I have good hearing,” she said instead, coming up with this explanation on the spot.

Fortunately, Sachis seemed satisfied with that and didn’t ask any further. As the two collected themselves and resumed walking, they got to the end of the corridor. There was a panel on the wall, similar to the one in the hidden path outside Estelle’s cell in the Tower of Albion.

“I should check, just in case.”

With that preamble, Sachis took out the Key, directed his mana into it, and summoned a three-dimensional image of the palace. He then magnified a certain point and their current location came into view.

Estelle knew this because she saw herself and the king in the image. She moved a bit to test it, and the image of her moved accordingly. It left quite the impression.

Beyond one of the walls was a storage room tightly packed with barrels and crates. There were five soldiers clad in Sovereign’s Guard uniforms on standby inside.

“I had them wait here,” said Sachis. “There’s nobody I trust in the Guard more than them, so I’ve told them about my condition.”

Putting away the Key, Sachis once again turned to the panel and, this time, directed his mana into it. With the same heavy sliding sound as the secret door in Estelle’s cell, a door-sized segment of the wall slid down below the floor. On the other side, Estelle saw what the Key had just shown them.

“Your Majesty! You are safe!”

“We were worried to death about you...”

All the Guardsmen came running, saying this and that to Sachis. It was really intense to have brawny soldiers close in on you all at once like that.

“Only members of royalty are allowed to know the secret passages that lead outside,” Sachis said grumpily, then started giving out orders.

Per his orders, one would be sent as a messenger to another unit under Sachis’s command, waiting elsewhere; the remaining four would accompany Estelle and the king on their mission to rescue Arcrayne.

As they headed to the dungeon where the prince was held, a man with a fierce look in his face spoke up. “Lady Estelle, I apologize for my rude behavior toward you in the Libra Palace the other day.” He seemed to be in command of this unit.

At that point, Estelle noticed that he was the one who’d arrested her.

“His Majesty has informed me about the necessity of that charade.
