Chapter 95:
Makenna’s POV:
Oh no! They’d spotted us.
My heart sank, and I quickly looked back. The two men had reappeared from a different trail and saw us.
We were doomed.
Alice and Lily were so terrified they couldn’t move. In a rush of panic, I yelled, “What are you doing standing there? Run!”
Hearing my voice seemed to snap them out of it. We sprinted as if our lives depended on it.
However, the men were relentless. Soon enough, they rallied more people to join the pursuit.
Navigating the area was tricky. Alice and I didn’t know the place well, which made things worse. We kept running into dead ends and nearly got caught several times.
Eventually, they caught up with us, and we were completely surrounded.
The leader, a man with a scarred face, demanded angrily, “Who the hell are you? Why are you—”
Alice and I looked at each other, unsure of what to say, and remained silent.
We couldn’t bring ourselves to reveal that we were the princes’ sex slaves, nor could we come up with believable false identities.
As we hesitated, one soldier seemed to recognize us.
Pointing at us, he shouted to the man with the scarred face, “Boss, I think those two are the princes’ sex slaves who were learning from the whores.”
“Sex slaves?” The scar-faced man looked me and Alice up and down with disdain and scoffed, “A couple of weak women trying to play the hero and save someone?”
Unconvinced, Alice shot back, “You’re involved in human trafficking. That’s illegal.”
However, the scar-faced man showed no sign of fear. Instead, he threw his head back and laughed heartily, as if Alice had cracked a joke.

He retorted arrogantly, “Do you even know who runs this operation? Illegal? Who would dare interfere with us?”
His cold declaration made my stomach turn. I began to suspect that someone from the royal family might be controlling this notorious area.
This realization made me fear for the many women who might be suffering here, and it underscored the danger we were in.
The man with the scarred face showed no interest in talking to us further. With an impatient wave, he ordered, “Quick! Grab that woman. And for those two…”
His cold gaze fell on us. “If they try to intervene, kill them. No mercy.”
“Yes, Boss.”
With that, his henchmen lunged at Lily.
Lily fought back desperately as her screams pierced the air. She looked to us, pleading for help. “Misses! Misses! Please help me! Please!”
Alice and I shared a worried look. Our enemies were too strong and already knew our identities. Getting involved with them would only drag us deeper into danger.
The scar-faced man mocked Lily. “Stop dreaming! They can’t even protect themselves. How could they possibly save you?”
Despite her fear, Lily didn’t give up. She continued to struggle, her face stern with determination. In a desperate move, she bit the wrist of the burly man holding her. This caused him to scream, and blood began to flow from the bite.
Furious, the scar-faced man cursed, “Dare you! You want it the hard way, huh? Do you want to go back? I’ll let my men do as they please with you. Want to keep your chastity?”
He signaled with a wave, and one of his men approached Lily with a vile grin. “Hey, beautiful, let me show you how to please a man.”
Laughing, he reached for Lily’s collar, about to rip it open.
“No! Don’t touch me!” Lily screamed, trying to evade his grasp.
“Stop it!” That was the last straw for me. I kicked the man away, standing in front of Lily to protect her. “You can’t lay a finger on her.”
Alice also rushed over to stand beside me and snapped, “You animals! Lay a finger on her again, and you can’t blame me for being rude then!”
“You’re in over your heads. Who do you think you—”
The scar-faced man said to his men, “Get them! Capture both women. I’ll take the responsibility.”
“Yes, Boss,” his men echoed, lunging at us with menacing grins.
“Watch out!” I braced myself. Though I knew our chances were slim, I had to put up a fight.
Just then, a powerful voice boomed from behind us. “I dare you to try it!”
