William pov contd.
"Why are we suddenly called here, your highness?" asked Lucas as he t at the doorstep of the brothel. The soft music can be heard from a distance when I walk in.
"Go in and ask them to be prepared for the eting. I did not want to waste ti acting.`` I whispered and Kirian nodded and walked in.
When I entered the music had already stopped. And the girls were already in their uniform. They were standing perfectly in an alert position. Though i knew they must have run to make the place cleaner and change their clothes.
"I am grateful to all of you for accompanying on this journey. But we have to increase our attacks and discreetly weaken the enemy now. As you all have heard, yesterday we were attacked when we went hunting.
And I will join the academy tomorrow. There would be a high chance that I will be attacked there easily. So, I want you to infiltrate the enemy.
"Julie, Lisa, and Jane, all three of you have to sohow join the group of socialites and get close to Lady Sophie. Praise her as much as possible then her brother. And when she gets jealous and spills the beans, record everything for ."
"Ellie, Penny and Rosie, all three of you will serve the empress from tomorrow. I have discreetly arranged positions for all three of you. Keep an eye on her every action and report it to ."
"Anna and Susan, you both will serve my mother and protect her. She is the most vulnerable when it cos to emotional and physical attack.`` I sighed as I said this but they nodded silently nonetheless.
"Lucas and Jas, you both will stay here and represent all the business I have started in my absence. Both of you will change your duties weekly so that you can keep updated discreetly." I announced and they frowned.
"But your highness, except Jas, know one has knowledge of business," said Lucas, a bit embarrassed.
"Hmm, do not worry about it. I will give all the instructions. You just need to act as and made sure that no one doubts my absence.'' They both looked at each other and finally nodded.
"Last thing. I want to know everything about Princess Scarlet of the east estate. How is she connected to the empress and whose side is her empire on? And I want this to be done personally by you, Bella.`` I asked the head of the won knight's army and the first girl I have taken under my wings.
"Yes, your highness." she replied, bowing her head and I nodded back.
"I am going to rest for a few hours here. Then we will spar.`` I said as I stood up. Taking a rest in the palace would be impossible as everyone's eyes were on .
"Your highness, you should not wield a sword this week. Your body needs rest." said the man and I chuckled.
"All I need is confirmation that I am strong enough to handle my enemies. But for now, I am going to take so rest.`` I replied and without waiting for their response I walked to my room.
When I opened the door instead of entering straight and lying on the bed, my hands reached for the daggers in my clothes. I held one in both hands and instinctive throws once when I heard a slight sound.
"Didn't they say that you are injured and forbid combat for a week!?" ca the voice from the dark.
"I have not seen you anywhere, so i was sure that you would be here." I replied as I walked in with Laertes' footsteps. I bent down instantly when i heard rustling sound and a dagger hit straight behind the wall
"Tsk tsk.. I could be at the academy too with that crazy duke. He doubts a lot after all!" said the man, still hiding in the dark.
"Ha! You knew that I was not fit. There was no way that you would not co to take its benefit even if real demons were stopping your way.`` I sneered and the man chuckled.
"What can I say, you know very well!" I could feel the humor in his voice as I threw another dagger but I did not hit anywhere. He must have caught it.
"I should have taken a rest in soone else's room." I took a sigh as I felt that it was going to be a long battle.
"Ha! A clean freak like you would never be able to bear sleeping in a woman's room!" finally he lit the light and when my eyes squinted to adjust to the sudden brightness. He threw another dagger towards .
I crouched on the floor but the sudden jerk still affected my wounds. I winced as I could feel the bandage getting wet.
"Are you sick, Theodore? Didn't I tell you that his highness was injured badly?" ca the voice from the door. They must have heard the noise and daggers.
"Thats is the reason I am here in the first place. Don't you know how much I love blood?" he said nonchalantly as he walked out of the door.
I just shook my head when all three walked towards .
"Are you ok, your highness?"
"Just check my wounds. I think a few of them are open. You need to bandage them again." I walked and laid on the bed as they checked my wounds.
"You need to be more careful, your highness. This pressure is not good for your body." he said as he started cleaning my wound.
"I am fine. I want you to go and check. Was it really Josephine who asked for sharing a hut with or is it so kind of trap? Did soone know that i still love that dumb sister of mine and want to test my feelings?"
"No, your highness, I was there when her highness requested to share the hut with you. She said that she wants to spend more ti with Sir Abigail."
