Crown of Rebirth - Chapter 6
As they continued to wander the marketplace, Neru found himself feeling more and more comfortable in this new world. He was starting to forget about his past life and the pain that came with it.
But then something caught his eye. It was a poster, plastered on a nearby wall. The poster showed a picture of a man who looked just like Neru. Underneath the picture was a caption that read “Wanted for treason against the king.”
Neru’s heart sank. He knew that this must be a mistake, but he also knew that the guards would not see it that way. He turned to Vivian, panic rising in his chest.
“We have to leave,” he said urgently. “Now.”
Vivian followed his gaze and saw the poster. She frowned. “Come on,” she said, taking his hand. “We’ll find a place to hide.”
They slipped away from the crowds and made their way through the back alleys of the marketplace. Neru’s heart was pounding, and he could hear the sound of his own breathing in his ears. He didn’t know what would happen if he was caught, but he knew it wouldn’t be good.
