She knew better than to think it would be easy to escape; there was sure to be at least a few guards outside patrolling, and the castle was already on high alert. Alyxander followed, glancing over his shoulder as he heard voices coming from the staircase. "We need to go, now. Before they see us." He nudged Josephine gently, and she darted off into the shadows of the rose gardens, following the trail towards the outer wall of the castle with him and Raoul right behind her.
