Before leaving, Valentina first disguised herself as Farah using the Mask of Mischief and left the mansion, making sure everyone around saw her and then executed a plan, Damien formulated which involved Farah fleeing the empire for reasons revolving around betrayal of the empire.
Of course, with Valentina's help and her disguised identity, it was easy to spread these rumors, which would soon reach the Gale Emperor's ears. At least, Damien wouldn't be involved or suspected in Farah's disappearance since on the outside, Farah only visited her brother-in-law Tristen, and since Tristen was still present, nobody would suspect anything.
The trio soon departed for the Shizar Kingdom, and on the way, Damien was still trying to reach Triton though he still couldn't get any response, much to his confusion.
