Preparations Before the Escape (1)
After the annunciation ceremony, I have gone back to my private quarters to prepare for the masquerade ball. But before everything else I have to call on William and Jack to run through on our escape plan for the final time.
"Martha, can you please call sir knight and my male servant." I ordered. "I want to give them some instructions before the masquerade ball starts."
"Yes your highness." Martha politely bowed and exited my room.
After a while Martha came back with William and Jack.
"Your highness, they are here." Martha announced. I looked around and saw them standing at the door.
"Thank you Martha." I smiled. "You can go now. I wouldn't want you to miss your carriage home."
This will be the last time I see Martha. Inside my heart, I wish her the best in the future. Maybe when this is all over, I can visit her on her family's farm.
