We hurried to catch up with Linie and just found her towards the end of the tunnel.
She was so surprised to see me with Bella and Jen because she had lost all hopes of finding me since she didn't meet me anywhere as she was coming.
We all hugged each other and continued to the outside of the tunnel.
The tunnel ended at the main road which was heading to the city but still in the Simie empire which means we were still close.
I believed they were all wondering where I was going, why didn't I inform them about this move and so I had to explain myself to them.
Actually, I- I didn't want to put your lives in danger that's why I never told you about this plan.
I wanted to leave alone but see now you have all involved yourselves in this.
"Don't worry about us please, we are all fine with you."they said
"Do you all know the consequences of this decision you have chosen?"
"Yes we know everything. We are prepared to face whatever comes our way for this decision."
"Alright then."
"Now tell us where you are heading to this morning. Whom are you going to meet with? And how can we help you out in this situation."they asked
"Do you all want to help me?"
"Yes we do want to help."
"Ok if you really want to help me,go back home and keep updating me about what's happening in the palace."
They all seemed shocked.
"W-what are you saying?"
"I am saying that you all go back home. I will manage by myself."
I was being rude to them but I was trying to save them from trouble.
I knew that if dad finds out that they are with me in this, their lives would be over.
They all stood up because we had sat somewhere to rest a bit.
They were determined to help me in every way possible so they accepted to go back home since it's how they could help me.
But before they could leave, Linie told us that it wasn't going to be easy to update me using a home call line.
That we should buy cell phones for each one of us. But from where should we get the mobile phones.
Jen saw the sign post but away from where we were but it wasn't very far.
We decided to go and see what the sign post was saying.
According to the sign post, we were very close to the city.
"Let's first visit the city before we go back home. That too,w w will buy phones from there", Linie suggested
On our way to the city, Linie suggested another idea.
" Do you mind if Bella and Jen keep here with you and I go back home alone? You won't be safe alone my lady."
It was a great idea but Bella was a married woman. How could i accept to keep a married woman with me here.
That would be total selfish.
"Your idea is just good but", I said
"But what?"
" You see Bella is a married woman, how can she stay away from her husband?"
" My husband knows that I am your best friend and best friends help each other in the times of need." Bella said
"I will tell him about this because I trust him that he can't share it with anyone." Bella assured us
