Ava made her way home quietly, passing through the market. Darius had advised that they don't go through the same route for security reasons and she completely agreed..With the Queen often at her heels, it was best that she took his advice.“How did the discussion with your brother go, my lady. I hope it was productive?” “Yes. I was able to ask the questions that I wanted to and I got to meet my niece. She turned out to be a very beautiful young woman.” Ava said with a fondness.She really thought that Rose was a very beautiful young lady and she hopes that they get chance to get to know each other better.“I believe it makes you feel at ease now right?” “Yes I feel so much better meeting her in person. And seeing that my brothers still has a lot of work to do. He has no idea how to relate to his child.”“I believe you can be able to fill in for him that way. He is a man, I doubt he knows how to relate with his girl child.” Ava had to agree. There was a slight chance that he had
Days went by and it was finally time for Keith to take his position as Edward's shadow guard.He wasn't looking forward to this at all. When the morning of that day finally came, he wish he could turn back the hands of time! Keith didn't want to do this and it was making him very upset that he had no choice..Keith was on his bed, refusing to get up on his feet. Seqn had tried to wake him up several times but he refused, ignoring his friend…He thought that if he stayed indoors all day, the Grandmaster would take that as a no, and assign somebody else instead..His blanket was yanked off his body and before he could retaliate, a bucket of water poured all over him, forcing him back to the ground.Keith struggled for his life and finally got on his feet. He couldn't believe that his entire life had flashed before his very eyes!“What is wrong with you?! Are you outof your damned mind?!” Keith screamed in anger.His entire body was soaked with water. He barely had enough change of clo
Keirh was raging mad! He was so close to matching down there when he felta hand on his shoulder.“What do you think you are doing?” It was Ellinor, joining him by the roof and she looked very upsetKeith was giving her his word. He told her that he will be able to handle this and it was not going to ruin this for anyone!But here he was, unable to control his emotions! If she hadn't walked in at the right time, he would have jumped at the crown prince and things could have gone south!“I'm sorry,I…I wasn't thinking.”“I am as sure as hell that you weren't! What exactly is your problem? If you knew that you could not do this,you could have been honest with us!” Ellinor said in anger.“Hoa many times did I try to tell you and everybody else that I can't do this? But none of you listened! You were hell bent on having me on this!” Keith snapped, channelling his rage elsewhere.. “We chose you because you had ypur part to play in the plan.”“You of all people should know that this is no
Hana woke up that morning, feeling like a queen once more. She just couldn't wait to get married to Edward and get this over with! When she will no longer be referred to as lady Hana anymore, but as the wife of the crown prince.The one place that she had in mind to go after getting married, was to the place where she used to buy her dresses before.There were a group of noble girls who often make fun of her, back when she was a kid. She was going to make sure to go there and make their life miserable!And her etiquette teacher? Hana had co.plained to the Queen about how that old hag addresses her! She also informed her that they way she was being addressed makes her feel unimportant, therefore making her ability go talk to Ava very low!Who would have thought that the queen would fall for such nonsense?! But she did and she changed the etiquette teacher in a heart beat! The numerous things Hana could do and get away with made her very excited.Her life has been nothing short of
Edward was ruminating on Hana's words once more. He wondered why she was keeping it a secret from him.He knew that something had transpired between those two but she couldn't bring herself to tell him what had happened.He wondered if he would have to force her to tell him, because he was so curious to know who that bastard was! And if he really did have something to do with his fiance in the past, he will be more than delighted to cut off those fingers of his!If only Hana could bring herself to tell him the truth. How difficult could that be? He wasn't even going to hurt her!He and Danfus were taking a stroll in the palace once more. It has become a habit for Edward these days..He took classes that were geared towards making him a king but what was the point? His mother was going to be a regent and he was more or less meant to be the puppet!That alone frustrated him and made him very angry. He has been trying and plotting ways in which he could get his mother out of this…Not th
Ellinor sips from her cup and stares at Edward in silence. She wanted to be sure that she had his rampt attention.The goal was to annoy him and make all of his efforts to find Keith turn futile. She was the only chance he had at finding Keith and she was hoping to ruin it too…“I don't understand what you are talking about. What friend of mine?” Ellinor asked.Edward looked very upset and irritated but Danfus stops him, trying to retain the countenance the gentle men they had presented in the first instance.Thru needed to get as much information as possible from Ellinor and they were willing to play nice to get it.“We are asking your friend. The one who came with you to the introduction ceremony a few days back. The man with the mask. We need to talk to him.” “Oh. My friend? Now who is he again?!” Ellinor asked, stroking her chin in thought.“Don't waste our time young man.Where is this man and where can we find him?! “ Ellinaor frowned at him, wondering what the hell was wrong wi
Ava arrived at her room and she sat down quietly. She was just returning from an evening stroll where she was trying to put her thoughts together..After meeting her brother and her niece, she had become more and more relaxed, sleeping has been quite easy too..Maybe it came from the relief of knowing, that she did not have to do all of this alone..She had her brother with her, who was more than willing to get everything done.But her thought was not of her brother, neither eas it on his daughter. Her thought was on Hana..Hana seems to be certain that she knows someone who look like her. Never has Ava seen anyone who told her that she looks like someone..Although, she and warden were more less like identical twins, despite the age gap between them, that person could be. warden..The young woman seems to be talking about someone else, someone entirely different from warden.. Ava was a bit anxious, what if she was pushing away her chance to find her son? What if the person that Hana
“There has to be a reason why he is so interested in finding you! You barely spoke to him that day, I don't understand his interest in you.” Ellinor said in curiosity.Keith wondered what his fascination about him was to begin with. Edward bearly spoke to him that night but now, Edward wanted to find him by all means.It made no sense thatvthe prince decided to borther himself with some drunk man that interfered with what ever he wanted to do.Keith was already done with his work for the day and was heading back to the temple.He and Ellinor had decided that they would speak about this once he was done with his job for the day.They were both keeping watch when they learnt about Edwards intentions to go to the market. Ellinor decided that they needed to put a stop to whatever was going on! “There just have to be a reason why he was interested. Could it be because you tried to stop him from hurting Rose?” Ellinor asked.Keith, who had thought about that possibility, seems to be in thou
