MOUSE TRAP (2)

"WE HAVE to catch the spy before we proceed," Eclaire said, going straight to business as soon as Nathaniel assured her that his tent was safe. "I made a fake itinerary that will serve as a mouse trap."

"A fake plan, huh?" Nathaniel said, nodding. "I'm all ears."

"Only I can read the map, so they wouldn't know if I take them to the wrong place," she said. "So, I'm thinking of making an excuse to split our group. Of course, I plan to trap the spy by making them follow me."

"Ah, I can see it now," the Crown Prince said, nodding. "You're bringing me with you, aren't you?"

"I think we should go separate ways, Nathaniel."

"Excuse me?"

"Both of us are equally important, so we must split."

"Who will guard you then?"

"Graham, of course."

Nathaniel scoffed. "I don't think that coward can protect you."

"Stop looking down on Graham," Eclaire scolded him. "And isn't he your brother? Why do always pick on him, huh?"
