Ever since leaving the Dungeon and temporarily parting ways with Ellie, Greg had run almost the entire way back. Even the complaints from a girl behind him just now had failed to slow him down.
Only three days remained before Wendy's execution. He had to make the most of those three days and get everything in place.
His first step was to find a way to contact Wendy.
That would be difficult, because Wendy was currently locked in a dungeon beneath the Empire Prison, under heavy guard. Ordinary people had no way of getting near her.
He could have asked the aggressively martial Ellie to try sneaking in, but Greg genuinely worried that she would turn a stealth mission into a scorched-earth campaign, putting their still-unidentified enemy on full alert. That would hardly be worth the cost.
So Greg had already come up with a safer, more reliable approach: contacting Wendy through the Third Imperial Princess, Sarah, one of the representatives of the Warhammer Altar Magic Academy.
Her storyline in the original work's Third Act revealed that she did not particularly like the Crown Prince either, making her a potential ally.
