Andre rushed to hold the door still. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Lance pushed it open slightly. Yet Andre shoved it right back.
“Andre?” Lance’s voice turned dark, “What the hell is going on here? Why don’t you want me to go in?”
There was cold sweat on Andre’s forehead. He was so nervous that he started to stutter, “F-Father took
his clothes off already…He is not decent to meet you, My King.”
“Your father and I go way back. I can handle a little indecency.”
Lance pushed the door one more time.
“Let me in, Andre,” he said with a warning tone. “Or I am breaking the door down.”
What to do?
Janet’s mind was racing. Her heart was thumping against her chest.
She could probably get out through the window before Lance walked in. She could save herself.
Yet Andre and Dora were still here. And Lance would find out that Danton was murdered, which
contradicted to their whole plan.
Most importantly, she couldn’t abandon Andre and Dora.
But were there any other options?
Her time was running out.
Right at this crucial moment-when Janet thought that Lance was about to break in and see everything-
another series of urgent footsteps came from the outside.
“My King!” a guard cried in an urgent voice, “There is fire on the North side of the campsite!”
“What? What happened?”
“We don’t know yet. But a few people said that they saw someone setting the fire. It was arson!”
“Yes! Right over here!”
Lance’s voice became “Under,
my fucking nose? Show me the way!”
Before Lance left with the guards, he said one last sentence to Andre through the door, “Get your father
up. And tell him to meet me at the fire!”
The three of them waited for their footsteps to disappear into the distance before letting out a long
breath that they had been holding.
“Fuck…”
Andre wiped his forehead, relieved, “That was fucking close…That fire really saved
our ass.”
It really had.
But was that fire purely a coincidence?
It really had.
But was that fire purely a coincidence?
Janet didn’t think so.
It seemed a little too convenient.
Just then, a gentle knock came from the door. And before Andre could rush to hold the door again, the
door swung open, and a figure dashed into the room.
It was Daran.
“Daran!” Janet gasped, running to hug him.
Daran took her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead, “Are you alright?”
Janet nodded. There was a strange smell on his coat, like gasoline, ash, and pine woods.
“You set the fire?” she asked in amazement.
“Yes. I did it to attract the guard’s attention and create an opening so that I could sneak in.”
Janet smiled in relief, “It also happened to save us in the middle of a crisis.”
Daran walked to Danton’s side and removed the pillow from his face.
He tested Danton’s breath.
It had stopped.
Danton was dead.
“Well done,” Daran said in a deep voice.
Janet lifted her lips and looked at Andre, “Congratulations. You have avenged yourself.”
She then looked to V

Yet Daran remained firmly on his spot.
“We did our part,” he said deeply. “Now I am cashing out the promise you made to us.”
Andre frowned, looking slightly astounded, “Now? Do you want to talk now? There are Lance’s men
everywhere and soon enough they will find out that Danton is dead! Just go.
We will find another time-”
“No.” Daran
firmly, “We talk now.”
Janet stood by Daran’s side.
Andre frowned, looking slightly astounded, “Now? Do you want to talk now? There are Lance’s men
everywhere and soon enough they will find out that Danton is dead! Just go. We will find another time-
“No.” Daran said firmly, “We talk now.”
Janet stood by Daran’s side.
She agreed with Daran on this.
Too many things could happen after tonight and the situation might change again.
They worked too hard for this answer. They couldn’t wait a single second later.
Now was the time.
She looked at Dora and said, “It is time for you to leave. Take the cover of the night and run. Be
careful.”
Dora nodded.
She gave Janet one last grateful look and walked out of the tent hastily.
It was just Janet, Daran, and Andre left in the room now.
“Now. You can talk,” Janet said.
“What can you tell us?” Janet asked.
“As you have seen, the Rogue King is protected by a strong power. He is unbeatable and immortal as
long as he remains in the land dominated by the rogues.”
power. Or, alternatively-”
“We lure him out of his land and kill him there,” Daran said.
“Yes. Those are your options.”
Janet bit her lip.
Now they knew the answer. But none of the ways seemed easy.
Kill all the rogues in the Grace Ruin?
But there were so many of them. And she really didn’t think that all the rogues deserved to die.
Many of the rogues
rogues were expelled and those were all innocent people.
Not to mention that many of her friends were rogues! Kass, Morgana, and Andre…
She couldn’t do it.
Yet luring Lance out of his land? That would be even harder.

Lance knew his weakness. He would stay in this city forever if he could, to stay away from any potential
danger.
So…Which path should they go down?
