"Tonight," Ustra continued, her voice confident, "while the city is distracted by the grand burial, we will discreetly making our way through a hidden passage that leads beyond the castle walls. Our loyal allies will await us there, and protect us in any case we meet any danger in the black forest allowing us to slip away unnoticed."
I was astonished at the logic of the plan, its layers of strategy carefully crafted to ensure our escape. The castle's grandeur, its corridors and chambers, would become our sanctuary and their shield.
"Once we're outside the city," Ustra explained, her eyes shining with resolve, "we will meet with a group of trusted allies who will escort us safely to the coast. There, a ship awaits to carry us to Emperor Ash's realm."
The pieces of the plan fit together like a puzzle, each element contributing to a simple escape. I felt a surge of admiration for Ustra and the loyalty of those who stood by her side.
