At The Cookie Shop With The Princess

With the princess in my arms, I 'snuck' through the gardens again to the gates, aiming to leave the same way I came.

This time, I did encounter a patrol of guards and they definitely spotted me since our eyes met. Though I'm not sure what they saw since I was wearing the mask and the hood as well.

Nevertheless, they quickly turned around and walked in the opposite direction to avoid us, pretending to not have seen us at all.

I managed to reach the wall and jump over it without any other fuss.

"Ehehe~ This is really exciting~" Tiara whispered, trying her best to keep her voice down despite having a big grin on her face.

"First time sneaking out?" I asked.

She nodded her head meekly, "I never dared to try… I always had Aria watching me and I was afraid that the bad people might try to eat me… But with big sister, I know that they won't stand a chance against you!"
