Len disappears and comes back with a backpack on his shoulders. He silently unlocks the door, looking around often.
Once the door is unlocked, he puts clothes through the door and walks away. I look over at Mayu, and she shrugs. We take the clothes and change, Mayu helping me.
Len comes back and opens the door, a smile on his face. He has us put on servant dresses. We went to the door and she hands him my old clothes, and he takes them to put them in his backpack.
As soon as we step out of the cell, he wraps his arms around me, startling me. I jump and he quickly backs off. "Alright, let's go,"
We walk silently through the hallways. There's almost no one walking through the hallways of the large castle, because it's night. He brings us to a set of large double doors, and he looks around before he opens the door without a sound.
He pushes me out the door first, and then Mayu. He whispers to us to run, and we do as he locks the door from outside.
All three of us run to the nearest forest. He tells me to climb the tree. "I'm going to pick you up, now." He warns me before he puts his hands on my waist, causing me to blush, and lifts me onto the nearest branch.
"Mayu, I need you help her up farther," He says. "I have to go to a different tree,"
"Okay." She mumbles as she climbs the tree, and helps me along the way. I have to use my hands but I try not pay attention to the pain. I can hear shouting suddenly, from far away.
Len waves bye at us and runs away. The guards come and most follow him, and a few stand around, looking up into trees. I pray we're too high up to see because of the shadows.
A guard looks up into our tree. He stares at us, his eyes squinted. But then he calls the others and tells them there's no one there. They all leave then.
I let out a breath, not realizing I was holding it. I look at Mayu and she nods. She starts to climb out of the tree when someone appears under the tree again.
I cover my mouth before I let out a scream and realize it is Len. "Mayu, help Rin down."
Mayu reaches over to me from the branch she's on and helps me climb down a few branches, when Len grabs my waist and puts me on the ground, Mayu following.
He looks at us. "We need to find somewhere to stay overnight. Then we can find somewhere to stay in town tomorrow."
"Staying in town isn't-"
"Don't worry," He smiles. "I'll handle it."
