Chapter 22 Heated Pursuit

• Seeing that she had no time to stall, Emery grabbed the reins of the black horse and immediately got on it. She ignored the owner calling out to her because her main priority was to get away from the eyes of the royal guards. With her horse galloping away from the capital, the guards spotted her and got on their horses as well.
• Before she could totally leave the city, she had to pass through two more gates and she needed to hurry as fast as she could. It was for the reason that the royal guards could give the gatekeepers guarding the center and outside gates the signal to shut the gates. If that happened, she will surely not be able to step out from the palace once more.
• Behind her, a man wearing a mask was riding on a white horse and overtook the royal guards. On his back was a quiver filled with arrows and on his shoulder was a bow. His amber eyes were locked onto the back of the queen running away.
