EVERYONE involved in the plan started their day early the next morning.
Thomas and Nicol acted like they were going on an educational trip. Casey pretended he was going on vacation. And the duke just acted like he was going to one of the Grimaldi manors to tend to the garden.
Of course, their destination wasn't merely a decoy. To maintain the illusion and avoid suspicion, the four Grimaldis would actually travel to their intended location. Upon arrival, one of the captains would be waiting in a vehicle to take them to the spaceport, where Wulfric's spaceship was waiting. All they had to do was get in the car.
While that was happening, Astrid and Reas were also not idle.
Astrid had prepared enough ingredients to last throughout their journey to Delryria. From fresh vegetables to various meats and a selection of condiments, he had brought everything he would need to prepare a good meal.
