Chapter 18 [1/2]

"Are you ready to leave?" Percival asked.

We prepared early for the flight. I wore comfortable clothes, and honestly, I wasn't up for picking a nice outfit, so I played safe with a long-sleeved top and pants.

I had informed my father about our flight today, and we said our goodbyes yesterday.

My gaze met Percival before I nodded as an answer to his question. He gave me a nod before he left the room.

My hand went to where my womb was. I'll be leaving for this child. For now, I have to bury the child's connection with Cadmus and use it when the time is right. 

I don't intend to hurt the child, just Cadmus. I'll make sure that this baby won't be affected by whatever I'll do to his real father.

I took a deep breath before I followed Percy.

Percival was waiting for me outside our room. I held onto his arm when he offered it to me. I displayed a blank expression as we walked with our guards surrounding us.
