I've Never Seen Your Emperor

Grey knew he was walking into an ambush, but there was nothing he was really scared of. With his proficiency with arrays, there was no way someone would be able to use it to trap him. So even if they create an array with plans of using it to stop him, it's going to be unsuccessful. 

….

A few minutes later. 

In a pathway through the forest, the two Princes could be seen casually walking. 

"We've already gone far from the castle, if he's not coming we better head back instead of wasting our time." The Second Prince said, irritated with what they were doing. 

"Don't worry brother, I believe he will show up." The Seventh Prince calmed his brother down. 

Although he didn't want to say it, he wasn't also in support of this, but he was confident that his elder brother would be able to keep him safe before the others step out. They had to at least make sure Grey wouldn't be able to escape before stepping out.
