~Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap~
Andrew, Lucia, Javis and their men dashed through the secret passage, jogging as fast as they could for a bit before slowing down their pace once more.
They left as early as 5 A.M and had been moving till now.
It was only about 10:46 A.M when they finally arrived at the hidden city, a little tired but ecstatic.
The guards heard footsteps and quickly tensed up in a panic, preparing to launch a series of attacks.
But when they saw Princess Lucia's figure and ecstatic behaviour, they couldn't help crying as they knew that they had finally been saved.
"Princess Lucia is back!"
"Prince Javis is back!"
"Prince Andrew is back!"
Instantly, everyone was shocked silly as they froze in place.
What?
They were back?
The barefooted children and females washing the clothes along the streams, slowly got up amd dumped their belongings in joy.
