This time, Leo would be acting as the husband, and Princess Elaine would be his wife, but because they don't want their faces to be seen after leaving the Underground World, they covered it with a mask which is just normal since almost every Noble Households that visits the Underground World would also do such a thing.

Brad and Jasmine would act as their kids, simply because it would perfectly fit their young appearance and their small height. And because the both of them don't cover their faces with a mask, soldiers wouldn't really care that much why Leo and Princess Elaine are still walking with their masks on after getting far from the Underground World anymore. Even if they can't recognize those kids, because they can simply assume them as some visitors from other Kingdoms or Empires that went to dock at the port of Blue Coral city to resupply or something.

Lastly, Charlotte would act as their bodyguard. With her 9 Star Battle Mage cultivation, it would definitely strengthen their disguise of being a visitor only of the Blue Coral city.

As soon as they got out of the Underground World, they were immediately greeted by a dark alley.

Just like every Underground World, their entrance would obviously always be located in dark places, not in a conspicuous corner or in somewhere that everyone, even ordinary people, could easily find and see. Obviously, they can't just let any ordinary civilians visit their place, right?

"Begin the act!" Leo whispered to everyone.

Hearing Leo's words, Charlotte, Princess Elaine, Brad, and Jasmine's character immediately changed to fit their role.

Before finally walking out of the dark alley, though, Leo became a bit hesitant about how he should act. After all, Princess Elaine is Ethan's wife, not the same as Charlotte who is pretty much single, therefore he can't just pull her closer and hug her waist or something similar to that.

"Just hold my hands. It would be enough to show that we are husband and wife." Princess Elaine took the initiative to help Leo as she noticed he is hesitating. She also doesn't want to do something like this, since she loves Ethan so much, but they need to put up a great act to make everyone not suspect them.

Hearing Princess Elaine's suggestion, Leo didn't hesitate anymore as he quickly holds her hand.

To be honest, Princess Elaine doesn't really care about how Leo would act, but he seems to have set a limitation to how he should treat people depending on their status, hence she obviously needs to help him.

Finally, walking out of the dark alley, Leo immediately noticed some passerby turning to look at them. There were also some coffee shops nearby where obviously hiding soldiers took a glimpse before whispering or signaling to the others about their appearance.

Leo didn't mind all of them as he continued to walk to the west gate of Blue Coral city.

Although he can actually hail a public carriage to take him to the gate, it would just make their action seems more suspicious because after leaving the Underground World they immediately tried to leave Blue Coral city, not to mention it was a gate leading to the Heart city too.

That's why, he decided to stroll around the Blue Coral city first with his supposed family, buy some stuff, and the likes while thinking at the same time of how he can leave through the west gate.

There was one important piece of information that he had almost forgotten, and that is the west and south gate should be the most strict of all the gates of Blue Coral city right now, since both the west and south leads to the Mischievous Lion organization.

"Master Leo, two soldiers are tailing behind us. Should I eliminate them?" Charlotte whispered to Leo.

Instead of answering Charlotte's question, Leo suddenly pointed at a shop selling fruits, "Let's go to that shop!"

Arriving inside, Leo immediately bought a few of each kind of fruit before leaving, he even gave the vendor 1 gold coin tip in order to show that he's a rich man.

After doing that, he went to a bakery and bought a few loaves of bread before leaving. He also gave the same tip.

Then he went to more shops to buy more stuff for a picnic. Yes, a picnic, the best reason he can use why he would want to leave the Blue Coral city.

Although it would still be suspicious, why choose the west gate when he can choose other gates, obviously he had already thought of a reason for that.

After finishing with everything, Leo didn't hesitate anymore to go to the west gate. With this excuse, he should be able to leave the west gate. If not, then with Charlotte, forcing their way out should be possible, adding more that they would already be right in front of the west gate at that time, hence they only need to exert a bit of effort in order to leave. Though, that would be the choice if he doesn't have any other options remaining anymore. After all, doing so might let them escape, but it would also cause Gretchen and the others behind them to have a hard time in making a way out of Blue Coral city.

However, with Leo's character, he would obviously not settle for just one or two options.

He quickly began looking around, thinking of more ways of how he should be able to leave through the west gate.

Suddenly, Leo thought of something, "Charlotte, go and ask those soldiers tailing behind us which place is best to set up a picnic outside of Blue Coral city, don't hide the fact that we already found out that they are soldiers."

"But why?" Charlotte dubiously asked.

"Yes, wouldn't that cause more suspicion?" Princess Elaine also became doubtful of Leo's choice of action.

"We will be using our enemy to get out of this place easily." Leo smiled mischievously.

Charlotte quickly understood what Leo meant as she didn't hesitate anymore to approach those soldiers.

Seeing Charlotte approaching them, the soldiers quickly did some random stuff to hide their identity.

However, Charlotte didn't even bother as she approached one of them and said, "No need to keep hiding, I know you are soldiers as you have been following us from the moment we left the Underground World."

Hearing Charlotte's words, the two soldiers quickly put their hands on their sheath.

"Hahahaha, don't worry though, we only came to visit this place through the Underground World. We won't stay long because we only want to take a rest before continuing our travel to our real destination. So if you don't mind, may I ask where is the best place to set-up a picnic?"

The soldiers immediately lowered their guard the moment they heard that this person only wanted to know where was the best place to set-up a picnic. Though, they still have their doubts.

"If it's okay to ask, but why do you want to have a picnic?" One of the soldiers asked.

"Unfortunately, I can't answer this question, but come with me, my Master will answer your question." Charlotte replied with a smile.

"Okay, then lead us to your Master." The soldier nodded in agreement.

Right after, Charlotte leads the two soldiers in front of Leo and the others.

Charlotte bowed her head a bit as soon as she arrived in front of Leo before saying, "Master, they want to ask why you want to set-up a picnic."

"Oh, my kids here have been longing to experience nature once again after traveling in the ocean for more than a week now. You know, they're kids, and as their parents, what can we do right, Honey?" Leo turned to look at Princess Elaine at the side.

"Yes, Darling." Princess Elaine replied though she suddenly faked a sigh of helplessness, "Although we don't really want to cause more trouble as I've heard that Silver Kingdom is in the middle of a war right now, but at least having a picnic for a few minutes or so wouldn't be that much, right?"

"Mama, I want to pick flowers!" Jasmine went and hugged Princess Elaine.

"I want to see insects, I'm bored with always seeing fishes. Oh, what does insect even taste like, I wonder?" Brad butted in. Though his acting was a bit stupid since who on Celestial World would even think of eating insects? But it's exactly because it's stupid why it became the perfect addition to further strengthen their acting.

"Oh, hahahaha, kid, it wouldn't taste good in your mouth if you try eating insects!" The other soldier laughed.

"Why?" Brad acted innocently as he turned to look at that soldier.

"Why? Because they are very disgusting!" That soldier replied.

"But fishes are also disgusting, especially if you have been eating fishes for an entire week straight." Brad replied, but his hand behind his back was already fidgeting out of nervousness. He now realized that although his words have made their acting perfect, it had also made him the center of attraction.

"Oh, why were you eating fishes only for an entire week?" That soldier can't help asking.

"Papa, this soldier keeps on asking stupid questions!" Brad exclaimed as he quickly runs behind Leo.

Leo really wanted to raise a thumbs up with how Brad passed the problem to him. If it was other people that encountered something they can't handle, then he would have a need to personally interrupt in order to cover-up for them, which would just cause more suspicion, especially considering that they have already raised suspicion the moment they left through the Underground World while still wearing a mask.

Leo patted Brad's head as he turned to look at the guard, "Hahaha, sorry about that."

"Papa, don't apologize. That guard asked a really stupid question. Think about it, we would obviously only be able to eat fishes since we are in the ocean." Brad added more to perfect his act.

"Well..." Leo acted like he was speechless.

"Hahahaha, that's indeed just right! If you are in the ocean, you eat fishes. If you are in the city, you eat pork and beef. If you are outside of the city, you eat fruits and vegetables." That soldier laughed.

"Oh, I've just realized that soldiers in Silver Kingdom are actually smart." Leo complimented with a smile. But he sneered inwardly. Because of that soldier's words, it had just made their acting even more perfect.

"Hehehehe, I'm just average..." The soldier scratched his cheeks, feeling embarrassed after being called smart.

"If you are average, then I assume others would also be smarter than you, right?" Leo added more compliment.

"I guess so..."

"Anyways, back to the main topic. Can you recommend me a place suited best to have a picnic?" Leo quickly did a perfect change of topic.

"Oh, if you're looking for the best place to have a picnic, then south gate- "The soldier wanted to say 'South gate' but he was immediately interrupted by the other soldier.

"No, the south gate is full of soldiers right now, so they can't have a picnic over there. The north gate should be good. Though, their view would include some soldiers transporting supplies to Blue Coral city."

"That would ruin the atmosphere, right?" Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face, "Then how about the west gate?"
