Chapter 113: Fleeing the pack

They quickly bound them and shoved them off to the duegons.

Risa stood beside Aegis laughing at all of them, "Serves you right for trying to humiliate me like that!" She shouted after them.

"Now, now, don’t try stressing yourself out, let them do their job."

She chuckled and wrapped a arm around Aegis’ arm.

"This is so fun to watch," she blinked her eyes.

"As always," he muttered, a grin on his face.

All the maidservants were placed in a duegon cell, so were the guards, in another duegon cell but Oberon, Archi, Dora and no one was placed in a separate duegon cell.

Archi buried his face in Oberon’s bosom, while the latter stroked his hair slowly, his face cold.

"What are we supposed to do?" Dora whispered.

Oberon darted his eyes around, looking around.

"If only there was a way to break out," he said.

Dora looked at the ceiling and turned to no one, "Can you not jump? You could break the ceiling."

He looked at her and then at the ceiling, "You think so? That would be quite hard, since the ceiling is made of metal."

"The ceiling is not an option," Oberon shook his head.

"Then where else?" She asked him.

He looked at no one, "You are a Lycan, you could break through the walls right?"

"I guess, but what would happen to the other duegon cells, they would fall apart and then the walls might hurt them severely."

Oberon squinted his eyes in thought, "You are right, we have to think of breaking out of here without hurting others."

"Wait.. why not create holes through the duegon cells? In that way, when one part is broken through as an escape route, they could all follow likewise," Archi chipped in.

Oberon smiled down at him, "You are such a wise pup," he rubbed his hair.

He stood up and walked to one side of the cell, "There has to be a way to break through," he placed his hand on the wall and closed his eyes.

Cracks began to form on the wall.

"Oh wow, is he doing that?" No one asked, excitement evident in his voice.

"He is, he really is," she grinned.

Soon, a part of the wall was cracked.

"Hmm, we could gently push this down," he laughed.

"Exactly," Dora stood up and went to meet him there.

"You are such a savior!" Her eyes brightened.

He looked at her, "Not yet, till we get everyone out, that’s when I can keep that name," he said softly.

"If you pushed the wall down, would you not hurt the others who are on the other side?"

Oberon paused, "That is true though," he shook his head.

He bent down and carefully, took out of the bricks, he kept doing so till he had formed a small hole.

"Archi, come here please."

Archi went to meet him, "Yes?"

"I want you to go through the hole and inform the others that I am about to push the cracked bricks down, they should please move backwards a bit."

Archi nodded and went through the hole.

"Be careful, do not go I’m a rush," Dora told him.

"Okay," he crawled in the hole and went to the other side.

After some minutes, he came back and informed them there was enough space for them to push down the bricks.

Oberon took in a deep breath, "I hope, no one gets hurt," he muttered to himself.

"It is time to push then?" Dora asked.

He nodded, "Yes."

"No one came along and helped them.

"One, two, three.. push!"

The cracks finally collapsed and the bricks tumbled. There were some screams and a lot of chaos that moment, it was as if the bricks were taking decisions of their own.

Finally, it all calmed down and they had created a hole large enough for grown werewolves to go through.

"We did it!" Dora beamed with joy.

"He went through the hole, "Are you all safe?" He asked.

"Just some minor bruises," one of the maidservants said.

He blinked his eyes and sighed, "Well, at least no one got major injuries?"

They shook their head.

"He has already created another hole, we could let them go through this hole and go outside the cell through the other hole.

He nodded, "Okay then."

"We have created holes, so everyone here could be able to go outside, okay?"

"Thank you your majesty," they said in unison.

"Come on," he led the way and they all scrambled to get through the hole, eager to leave the duegon cell.

No one was at the other side and he was leading them safely through the other hole he had created.

"Be careful, do not hurt yourself," he said.

They would thank him and carefully go through the hole.

While the maidservants were scrambling to leave their duegon cell, Oberon went in and walked to the other side, repeating the same process, Archi went in and warned them of what would happen and they as well made sure they kept a safe distance.

The bricks were pushed down and the guards had to crawl through the hole to the other side and soon enough they were out of the duegon.

There were some excited squeals from some of the maidservants, but Dora was quick to quieten them.

"It would not be nice if they came upon us again, try containing your excitement and let us get out of here," she said softly but firmly.

Oberon had to lead them through a secret tunnel he had built in times of difficulty, turns out this wise plan was not a waste at all.

Soon, they were all out of the palace.

They had to walk some meters away from the palace so Oberon could address them.

When they were assembled, he cleared his throat and stood above them.

"It is such a great distress to us as we have been thrown out of the palace by a pack of Lycans, we have no match with them and as a result could not fight them."

"Luckily for us, we have escaped, and I implore you all to please for your safety leave this pack."

"Once they find out, the maidservants and guards are gone, they might come for the pack as a whole."

"Please, inform your family and let them flee to other packs and stay there till everything is set right."

He exhaled deeply, feeling so heavy at heart, he continued,"I wish I could write letters but I do not have any paper or quill on me."

"I shall carve things which shall be used as messages to the different packs you are going to."

Some of the maidservants palmed their faces and cried.

"It is not over yet, we shall have the lycanthropy pack back."
