Are they running away?

Once Damian stepped away from the Queen and left the hall after receiving instructions from her, both Damon and Ivan looked at her curiously, wondering what news Damian had come to deliver. 

The queen's lips curved in a smirk as she faced them all.

"Prince Harold is leaving the palace with his bride," she announced to the members of the assembly who were still talking amongst themselves and everywhere became silent.

Harvey, who was standing amongst the others, looked at the queen with interest when he heard that. Did that mean Alicia was awake now? 

"What do you mean they are leaving the palace?" Damon asked with a frown.

"You heard me. If we are going to do something about him, we have to do it now while he is away, or else we might all die before the end..."

"What are you trying to say?" One of the aristocrats cut in.

Seeing that there was no way she could outrightly suggest that they try to harm Prince Harold, she smiled.
