The last ti when she saved from the chandelier! It was an accident planned by myself. So, I could force the snakes hiding in the dark to co out to try to find their allies. But today's accident was not that simple one.
Others would think that it was an attack on the royal family. But if looked carefully, Abigail was the only one that was standing beneath the chandelier. If it would have fallen, only she would have lost her life. We would have only got so injuries here and there.
I would have taken it as a coincidence if it would have been the first ti, but the attacks of wolves and the falling of the ferris wheel were other incidents that happened recently and I did not believe in so many coincidences at once.
"Don't tell you didn't even notice?" I asked incredulously at her. She was so sharp normally when it cos to keeping an eye on or sparring. I would not doubt that she would be able to win against Kirian or Theodore too.
"I never thought that soone would want to hurt . Since I have nothing worth jealousy or I did not have a feud against anyone." she replied with surety. But I knew there was soone behind her.
But I knew she was telling the truth. Rather than practicing all day, she spent her rest of the ti in the library. She only ca out when it was dinner ti. There she also just eats and leaves. Though she was gone for two days. She did not et anyone or did sothing that offend others.
"I think you are thinking too much about it, your highness. Maybe it is just a coincidence. Now if you allow , my father must be looking for ." she replied standing up. Her eyes were flustered and I tilted my head.
Only then did I notice the proximity we were sharing. And the way I was looking at her, I even forgot to follow my pretense for a while.
"You may go. By the way, tomorrow is your entrance exam, right?" she nodded looking at as i stood up lazily and passed her a seductive smile that i have practiced ages.
"Make sure to pass it, little bird. Or you would not be able to follow . By the way, the academy starts two days after the entrance exam, so you need not live here. You can start serving as a knight from that day only.`` I replied and she looked at with a frown.
"Your highness, the academy always started with the start of spring, one month after the entrance exam" I nodded at her remark.
"Yes. but this year, they are opening the academy early due to so personal reason. I do not ask things that have nothing to do with . All I know is you have to do well in the exams to serve after two days." tough she nodded and bowed, she was still looking confused as she left the room.
"Your highness" I looked at Kirian who was looking at with widened eyes.
"Your highness, why did I not hear the notice that the academy is starting early?" he asked with bewildernt when I smirked.
"It is because you have still not notified that old man that I want the academy to be opened in two days." my reply made him dumbfounded as he kept looking at .
He opened his mouth to protest but shut it looking at my dark face.
"But my lord, how could we force the principal to do that?" said Theodore when he realized Kirian was at loss of words.
"If I could think all this by myself then why would I need you?" I asked nonchalantly and this ti not only Kirian but Theodore were dumbfounded too.
I rolled my eyes and added.
"We need to find the person who is attacking her since the attacks started only when she decided to serve . These incidents are not as simple as they look. So you better get the notice of the academy opening in two days. I am going to the brothel to et others. I need further planning.'' With that I moved without waiting for their reply.
The mont I ca out of the chamber I heard the sound of cursing and I shook my head.
I walked straight towards my stable when I found Josephine standing there.
To say that I was surprised would be an understatent. After the death of Carlise, we both have stopped spending ti with each other and seldom cross paths.
Though I would not deny it, I miss her. I miss the way she used to cry holding my hand that Carlise had bullied her. Now she had been strong enough to bully others. But I knew sowhere the little girl was still hidden.
"Ah.. don't tell that you are here to serve as knight after your oath taking ceremony??" I asked with a smirk and she turned to look at .
"Ha! There must be a limit to being delusional. If given a chance, I would be the first to stab you with my own dagger." she snarled as she looked at with those sharp eyes. The eyes used to be affectionate at a point of ti.
A lump ford in my throat, when I heard her words. So I just moved and ignored her, afraid that she would see the love in my eyes that was still there for her.
"Wait, I am not done with you yet." she shouted and i turned to look at her.
"I am here for Abigail," she added when I did not say anything.
"What about her, Jose? she had nothing to do with you or the incident." I replied , getting agitated.
"Oh. so finally my scumbag brother had protected soone. Don't tell she is special to you."
