The Great Escape Plan

No. Absolutely not.

Ed clenched his fists, pacing back and forth in his room.

I am way too shy to apologize.

There was no way he could walk up to Vynesaa and the Queen and face them after the things he had said.

What was he even thinking last night?

No—he wasn't thinking at all!

Maybe if he just stayed out of their sight for a few days, they would forget about the whole thing.

Yes. That was the plan.

Avoid.

Evade.

Survive.

At least until the embarrassment faded from existence.

Ed exhaled, nodding to himself. "Alright. Just act normal. Just… don't let them see you for a while."

His gaze shifted towards the window, considering an escape route.

Then, shaking his head, he muttered, "Let's just focus on the test first."

With that, he stepped out of his room and headed toward the colossal stadium where his trial awaited.

Little did he know, avoiding them wouldn't be so easy.
