According to Helios, it would take a week at most for the retainers from the palace to arrive and escort Eric back there.
With that, he still has more time to spend with Seraphine. Clement is still around as well, though he can feel that it will not be for too long. Considering that he has a connection with those outlaws from the underground organization he belongs to, it will not be good for him to stay any longer.
Helios had already started an investigation on this human trafficking case, and Clement had a chance of getting taken into custody once the details emerged to the surface.
"So, Eric is right all along. You're leaving tonight."
Seraphine managed to catch up to Clement on the night he planned to depart in secret.
He was stunned to find her there - she even knew that he would be using the gates beyond the castle's garden rather than the main ones. He chose this route to avoid attention as much as he could.
