Chapter Three: How?

My mother had just told me the first lead on Sapal in over a year. However, Emperor Fritz told me that he was watching my every move, and I believed it. Ever since our talk, I've noticed more and more soldiers following me around and watching everything. They even started watching Trinity more. We couldn't leave the house without being bombarded with sights of troops. Sapal was waiting for me in Freile, but there wasn't a way for me to go there without sneaking past Fritz's spies nor even go anywhere without acting suspicious. How was I supposed to get to Freile?

I had a plan, flying. There's no way one of Fritz's troops would fly in the plane with me, and more than likely they won't follow me. I'll take the keys so they won't follow me. I headed to the hangar and got in the plane, where I headed off for Freile. I told Fritz I was doing a fly around Heliea, so I have about an hour to talk to Sapal.

Freile County, home of the best food in the world. How come no one figured Sapal would be here? It was the perfect place to hide; amazing food, water, and an easy way out of Heliea if you had to. It was right next to Dapton, which was the border.

I landed right next to the fields of corn. I spotted Sapal in disguise as a farmer in the field next to me.

"Sapal! Why do you need to talk?"

"I don't want any trouble, I just thought you should meet something." Sapal replied as a womanly figure with a hat walked up behind him.

"Detrick....that is your name, right?" said the girl wearing a hat just covering her face.

"That is correct, and who are you? I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before." I said.

"You don't remember me?" As she looked up showing her face. "The name is Solstice, your cousin."

"Are you the one related to my father?"

"Yes, he's my uncle," Solstice replied.

"Wait, you're the one Fritz is after."

"I needed a way to catch your attention. I knew Fritz would be paranoid of us meeting, so I did it.........

Cantale will rise."
