The next day the group followed as Little Sophia went by her business like a little lady. When the night fell Sophia picked up her little backpack and snicked out of the house.

"Found it." She muttered as she saw an old-looking carriage at the back entrance. This carriage was used to bring fresh vegetables to the manor. It always came in the evening. 

Reymond and Janine were planning to use this carriage to sneak out of the manor and go to the place prepared by Alister and from there use the array to go to the lower realm.

After Janine and Reymond explained some things to Sophia last night, the little girl decided to follow her uncle and aunt and run away with them. 

After finding the carriage, the little dumpling managed to slip into the chest placed behind it and waited quietly.

Soon Janine and Reymond dressed in low-key outfits also set in the carriage and left the manor.

Sometime later they finally breathed out in relief and managed to relax.

"What did I tell you, everything is going to be okay." Said Reymond as he hugged Janine.

"Hmm." She answered.

But somehow she didn't feel relieved. The feeling that something bad was going to happen was still there. She didn't want to worry Reymond, but she was still not relieved.

The Montague family had an exceptional sixth sense. They almost always felt when something bad was going to happen and when they did this sense was never wrong.

But for some reason this time Janine's bad premonition didn't decrease after leaving the house, instead, it became worse and worse as they got closer to their destination. In the end, she could no longer hold back and even Reymond noticed something wrong.

"What is it?" He asked with tenderness and obvious worry.

"I can't get rid of the feeling that something isn't right. I had it these past couple of days and now as we get closer to that place it is becoming worse and worse. You also know that premonitions in my family are never wrong."

Janine's words also alarmed Reymond. he was aware of the Montague family's sixth sense and knew that Janine was one of few who inherited it.

"Do you think something happened to brother?" Asked Reymond with worry and asked the driver to hurry up. 

After leaving the Montague mansion they were supposed to meet Alister at the place he arranged. They were going to let things calm down a bit after families found out about their escape and then leave the upper realm with ease using one of the arrays under the disguise.

The couple was worried and hurried to the destination, but the little dumpling in the back was unaware of anything and continued to stay quiet, afraid that if her uncle and aunty found her they would send her back.

When the carriage finally got close to the destination, a mountain villa came into sight.

This was one of Alister's private properties and was very well hidden from the world.

After entering the yard Janine and Reymond hurriedly descended from the carriage and greeted Alister who stood outside waiting for them. 

Alister Bathory was very similar to his younger brother Reymond, but he had long black hair and a more mature appearance. Noticing their worried looks he couldn't help asking.

"What's wrong, did someone find you? Did they follow?" He asked.

"No, Janine kept having a bad premonition that got worse and worse as we neared this place. We worried that something happened to you and hurried here as fast as we could. Is everything alright?" 

"Nothing here. Do you think your brother could have noticed something?" Asked Alister.

"I don't know it's best to go inside and speak there." Said Reymond and others agreed.

When they walked inside they sat down in the living room and Janine's sixth sense sounded instant alarms. She could no longer appease herself in any way.

"Are you sure about your premonition?" Asked Alister.

"Hmm. I can't be wrong. my sixth sense has never been this active before. I feel very uncomfortable right now, it's like alarms are going off." Sadi Janine and the other two's expressions instantly darkened.

"I will increase the defense. You guys go upstairs and rest if anything happens I will call you." Said, Alister.

"Hmm. Brother, Be careful." Said Reymond.

"I know."

While the couple went upstairs and Alister dealt with other matters, the little dumpling that hid inside the trunk finally popped out her head. After finding no one in the vicinity she climbed out and snuck into the house.

She started looking for her aunt and uncle while carefully avoiding the workers in the villa.

"Auntie, Auntie…" She looked in one room after the other.

In the end, she ended up in a room that looked like a study, and just as she was about to leave she heard voices. Afraid of being found the little dumpling quickly hid under the table and became quiet.

The door to the room opened and two pairs of feet could be seen from under the table.

"Is everything ready?" Asked the person who came in first.

"Yes, master. Everything is as you've commanded." Humbly answered the other.

"Good, After the ritual is done, throw Janine's body in the sacred forest together with the fake body of Reymond and let the beast feast on them." Said, Alister.

"Yes, master." Said the other person.

Hearing the conversation Sophia instantly knew that something was wrong.

'I need to find aunty and leave this place as soon as possible.' She thought.

At the same time, the expressions of Ezra and Leonard couldn't have been worse. They have already guessed that Alister had a hand in Janine's death as for what happened to Raymond was still unclear.

After the two people left the study Sophia came out of the hiding place and started frantically looking for Janine.

Finally, she found Janine and Reymond in the room together on the left side of the villa.

"Auntie, auntie." Called out little dumpling's in a hurry drawing the two's attention to herself.
