The Only Way Out: Of That Castle
“Oh yes, your Highness, I’m quite sure. Now that your father has locked down the castle, your only way out is via the sewers, and even then, only through the old sewer lines laid down by your great grandfather when he had the castle built. And, of course, the entrance to such is found only in the latrines in the dungeon.
Yes, it will be a disgusting trip, but is it worse than being married to that terrible girl? Princess she may be, but she is dull, mean spirited, given to tantrums, and not at all a nice person. No, I fully agree with your decision.
This potion will make you and your belongings invisible long enough to get to the dungeon. At that point, you are on your own. I expect that you will go from latrine to outside within a half an hour. I might suggest you bath in the farm pond of your uncle, the Duke, as it should be no more that an hour’s walk away. Yes, I expect you could steal a horse, too. Now go, and good luck.”
