The sun had completely set at Asaka which meant that everywhere had gone dark and this was the opportunity Jude had been waiting for.
He was currently hiding behind the walls of their house along with Tauriel and Tuchel and they were all putting on hoods while carrying stuffed bags on their backs.
It was already nighttime but people were still moving around and that was the reason the trio was hiding, waiting for the right time to move out.
Jude peeped out once again to see that everywhere was clear now and that was when he gave them the signal to move out.
The absence of the moon and their black hoods were the reason why they had remained undetected as they made their way to the forest close to the marketplace.
The king's guards were stationed all over the kingdom's possible exits to prevent anyone from leaving the kingdom but leaving the kingdom wasn't part of Jude's plan.
