Chapter 284: To Ruby Kingdom Chapter 284: To Ruby Kingdom Then he heard it.

They had boarded a plane.

To another kingdom.

Ruby Kingdom.

“What…?” The word fell out of his mouth like a stone.

“They did what?” He could not believe it.

His own brother.

And Nnenna.

That girl!

Gone.

Just like that.

On some reckless mission to save a fallen king.

There were five of them in total.

Five!

What were they thinking?

How could five people possibly take back an entire kingdom?

It was madness.

It was suicide.

Obinna did not waste a second.

“Prepare the transport!” he barked.

“We leave in ten minutes!” Chaos exploded around him as guards scrambled, weapons were loaded, vehicles were rolled out.

The most advanced convoy in the castle was activated.

He did not care what time it was.

He did not care about sleep or protocols or red tape.

He was going after them himself.

And when he caught up with them?

Oh, he was going to give them a piece of his mind.

Starting with Nnenna.

Because deep down, he knew this had her fingerprints all over it.

No one had more rebellious energy, more unpredictable fire.

And although he had no real proof… He didn’t need it.

He was sure she was the mastermind behind this entire scheme.

And he was going to make her pay for dragging his brother into it.

Ebere wanted to come with him.

She insisted, her eyes filled with desperation, but Obinna refused.

He was not heartless, he knew how much danger they were in, how risky it was to chase after Nnenna and Abuchi especially if they reached Purlit, that war zone, before he could stop them.

And the truth was, he couldn’t afford to put anyone else in harm’s way.

“I can’t let you come,” he said firmly, though his voice softened at the end.

“It’s too dangerous.

We don’t even know what we’re facing or what to expect.” He could see the hurt in her eyes.

She had every right to be worried, especially since this entire situation had spiraled out of control.

But he wasn’t about to put her in even more danger just to ease his own guilt.

“I promise I will bring them back,” he added, trying to calm her down.

“I will.

You have to trust me.” But Ebere knew better than anyone that promises were easy to make and hard to keep.

As Obinna rushed to gather his team, a sinking feeling weighed down on him.

He couldn’t shake the thought of Abuchi, his brother, so headstrong and reckless, heading straight into peril.

The kind of peril he had no idea how to stop.

Meanwhile, in a completely different part of the castle, Little Sweetie’s room was empty.

Bare.

There wasn’t a single trace of her left.

From the very moment the plans had begun, one of her subordinates had quietly informed her of everything that was happening.

She had no illusions about it, she didn’t approve of what Nnenna was doing, but she had no power to stop her either.

Not without exposing herself.

And so, when the time came, she had disappeared.

She’d left the castle unnoticed, staying in the shadows, following their every move closely.

When Nnenna sent her message, intended to reach Ebere and Little Sweetie an hour after they left, Little Sweetie had already been on the move.

Her amusement was clear when she read the message.

“Did she really think she could send a message and get away with it?” she mused, the corners of her lips twitching into a smirk.

She had people watching Nnenna’s every move.

She had to.

After all, Nnenna’s rebellious nature was as predictable as the sunrise.

If Sweetie had not kept her eyes on her, Nnenna might’ve truly gotten away with it, but not this time.

She would not let Nnenna get so far ahead.

Not without her being there to protect Nnenna so she packed up everything and cleared her room.

What was the point of leaving anything?

Once she stepped forward to protect Nnenna, her identity would be compromised.

She would most likely be exposed and removed from this mission.

Her plane ticket had already been bought.

Sweetie knew of the plan long before it had even been set in motion, and she had made sure to secure her seat well in advance.

She had carefully chosen a spot three rows behind Nnenna and Abuchi, far enough so they wouldn’t recognize her, but close enough to keep an eye on them.

With her hood pulled low over her head and her eyes hidden behind dark glasses, she blended into the crowd, making sure no one could pick her out.

As the boarding process began, a steady flow of passengers filtered into the gate, their tickets and passports being checked one by one.

Security guards and flight attendants moved methodically down the line, verifying each traveler’s documents before allowing them to board.

Once at the gate, passengers were ushered through security, where their bags were scanned, and the final checks were done.

The sounds of shoes tapping against the tile floor, the soft hum of the PA system, and the distant chatter of people filled the space.

There were the usual delays, the occasional forgotten passport, but soon enough, the passengers were ready to board.

Passengers were called to board in groups, starting with first class and those with priority seating.

As the groups shuffled forward, the airline attendants smiled, checking the boarding passes.

Nnenna and Abuchi were next in line.

They stepped forward, their passes swiftly scanned, their identities confirmed, and within moments, they were directed towards the jet bridge.

Meanwhile, Obinna’s car screeched to a halt in front of the airport.

His team spilled out of the vehicle, rushing towards the entrance with urgency.

The night air was crisp, and the bright lights of the modern airport flickered above them, casting long shadows across the wide, polished floors.

A few cars zipped by, their headlights cutting through the darkened landscape.
