Behind the Mask

Making plans part 2

I was heading back to find Leo. I am glad she took the news well. She may not understand fully what could be happening to her, but I am happy she is willing to help. The more hands we got, the better chances we can help save the crown prince. I found Leo talking with his good friends John and Mark. If Leo were king, he would have made John Chancellor ( the king’s right-hand man) and Mark being the highest knight who works directly with the King. “ Sirs,” I said with a cruise out of respect to Leo and his friends. “ The Princess is willing to help with the rescue mission.”

“She is?!” Leo asked with shock on his face, which this shouldn’t be shocking.

“ Yes, of course, she is willing to help. We are talking about her brother.” I told him, “ The only problem is she doesn’t know where the lower dungeon is.” I could see them thinking.

“ Leo, isn’t that annual Masquerade ball coming up?” John asked

“Yes, I believe it is, later this month, I think.” Mark said, “ Why do you ask?”

“ What if we save the prince on that day. Everyone will be distracted by the party, and we can get more people inside. At the same time, confirm if the prince is in there.” John said

“That is an excellent plan. We need to ask some of our noble friends if they are not planning on going and see if we can get their invitations. I am going to need those exact dates and people working on themed clothing for the event.” Leo spoke, “ We will also need to train the princess on how to fight. We will have to work quickie if we want this to work.”

“ Yes, sir.” we all said and took off where we need to go. I really hope this works.
