[Charlotte point of view]

As to make our plan even more believable, our group that was assigned to infiltrate the castle start gathering just outside the Mountain Dungeon Beta, where Savel, with his powerful mirage magic, start casting mind control spell onto Fawan. It help that not only Savel is a powerful user of mirage magic, but also because how Mr Alaric had beatan up the poor prince beforehand that the prince mental resistance go further down the drain. Yes, the prince is angry, but that was easily exploited by Savel, who commented that he uses the negative emotions from the prince to ease his mind control spell, and before the prince even realize

"Tchh! That lowly vampires. Anyway, I have managed to kill him. Just let his rotten corpse be eaten by a group of red goblins" [Fawan]

"Yes my lord" [Singa]

"Those groups of vampires should really know their place" [Alaric]

Impressive. All of us couldn't help but to applaud (inside our mind that is), of how powerful and skillful Savel mind control magic is, to make the prince believe that he successfully fended off an attack from a group of vampires. Prince Fawan doesn't even realize he is now under control of a spell. Not only that, he didn't even realize that his elite guards are being replaced by us. Of course, we put illusion magic (again, thanks to Savel) and also fill up the number to twenty by asking the Resistance member and our fellow siblings to fill in the number but for him to not even realize something is wrong with his guards just further convince us that we can make this infiltration a success

"I have disposed the vampire into the stomach of an orc" [Singa]

"Very well. Let us move on to our next agenda" [Fawan]

"Yes, our lords" [All]

And thus, our convoy of "escorting" this prince started. We keep on walking with the corpse of a lesser dragon that were defeated by the original elite guard, and once our group arrive at the entrance

"My prince. You're behind your schedule. Is there something the matter?"

The Guard guarding the entrance, with a worried face, quickly ask the prince.

"Just some rotten vampires and his friends trying to sabotage us. Worries not, they're all inside the stomach of a gluttonous orc" [Fawan]

"As expected of the prince and his fellow elite guards"

"There's no need for us to scan all of you as I'm sure you're all tired. As always, we welcome all of you to our beautiful country"

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"We hope you have a pleasant stay"

"It's a pleasure to do so" [Fawan]

Rumour of the prince arrival quickly spread, as the tired citizen quickly their energy and start cheering for the prince arrival from the sidewalk. Prince Fawan become that of your fairy tale prince, waving left and right to the citizen in a manner befitting that of a royalty, unlike his fit of anger just now. The sea of human, beastman elf, dwarf, and their fellow fake doppelgangers continue to cheer for us until just in front of the castle. Along the way

(I can see some of our siblings and the resistance members already on their position. If all goes well, we can end this in one go) [Charlotte]

And it doesn't look like anything will go wrong at this stage.

"Prince Fawan"

"It's their convoy"

"Open the castle gate"

"Yes"

We enter the castle without getting into any sort of trouble. Once inside, we were all greeted by the fake doppelgangers as they welcome Prince Fawan.

"All of you may rest in this room"

"Thank you"

"Take a good rest, all of you. You have done an excellent job so far" [Fawan]

"We will, your highness" [Savel]

And thus, all twenty of us are guided into a single large resting room. It's s bit smaller than your typical guest room inside of Estel's castle, but it's still comfortable enough for all of us to finally let our sigh

"Careful now, this is no place for us to let our guard down" [Aries]

"Linda, can any of the fake doppelgangers sense you?" [Diana]

"Fortunately no" [Linda]

"If that's the case, can you scout around first" [Qis]

"Plan to do just that" [Linda]

"Based on what Mrs Linda will tell us, we can effectively sneak around and execute our plan" [Sachmis]

"For now, resting on this comfy room is the best course of action" [Muse]

As Mrs Linda quickly leave the room (by going through the wall), we sit down and start enjoying the snacks that are provided to us. The maids and butlers of the castle will occasionally come and greet us, and ask us if we wanted anything. Of course, we take advantage of it by asking for more snacks and sweets. We also chat with them, asking about how their works, where they are station etc in the most natural way. The one that did the most splendid job will be Sis Diana herself, Mrs Qis, and Muse as they understood well about the life of a castle worker

"So, based on what the worker tell us, we can strike around 830-1000P.M" [Charlotte]

"That should be the case" [Doppelganger prince]

"But just to be on the safe side, we should wait for Mrs Linda and ask for her opinion as well" [Resistance leader]

"That, we should" [Aries]

It didn't take long for the minion of God of Death, Mrs Linda to come and tell us all that she had saw, and she further confirm that it is indeed, the best time to strike is around the aforementioned time. We bring out the castle map and based on what Mrs Linda said, we plan for the best route to take to reach the doppelganger flower, and once it's 830P.M

(Everyone, it's time to strike!) [Diana]

(Yes!) [All]

Making a small circle, all of us motivate each other as we begin the plan to save those who are trap inside the doppelganger flower, starting off with the one inside the castle
