Taoyuan: sighs heavily "I didn't choose this crown. It's a gilded cage."
don’t worry we will escape together!
nods, gripping the armrest of the throne tightly "You better believe it. I won't let your love for me falter. We'll find a way out of this cursed palace."
stands up abruptly "Enough with the affection. We need to focus on our escape. We can't afford any distractions." looks around cautiously
paces back and forth "We need to gather allies, gain access to the royal armory, and prepare for battle. This won't be easy, but we have no choice."
narrows his eyes, scanning the room "There must be someone here who can help us. Someone loyal enough to risk everything for freedom."
spots a guard patrolling the corridor "Excuse me, I need to speak with the head of security. It's urgent."
approaches the head of security with determination "Listen, I have a proposition for you. We both want freedom from this oppressive regime.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones "I'll give you a chance to prove your loyalty. Help me and my fiancé escape, and you'll be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams."
grabs the guard's collar, pulling him close "You may think you're safe here, but I know better. You're either with me, or you're a dead man. Choose wisely."
The guard reluctantly agrees to help Taoyuan and Lauctici escape from the palace
sighs heavily "The plan is simple. We'll sneak out through the hidden passageway in the servants' quarters. My ally will create a distraction at the main gate, giving us time to escape. But we have to be quick and silent."
whispers back what about my parents
clenches his jaw "There's no time to save them. Our only chance is to get out on our own. I promise you, we'll find a way to reunite with them someday. But for now, survival comes first."
grabs Lauctici's hand "Stay close to me. Trust in my instincts. We'll make it out of here alive."
tightens his grip on Lauctici's hand "Stay focused. We're approaching the entrance to the servants' quarters. Remember, silence is our greatest ally."
