Abigail pov
The first thing I did in the morning was to run and go to the academy library to get the collected parchnts for today. I shuffled all of them only to find one with the na of eastern duke.
I took it with gleaming eyes, here it was filled with the proofs and reports of all his deeds. It even has the statents of the other store owners as to how lord Gerard has paid them a minimal amount for their losses and has turned the facts.
They have complained yet the royal courts did not listen to them. It has a detailed report of how careless the staff of lord Gerard was! Always dealing with matters irresponsibly and being rude with the staff of others. And the whole incident happens due to their carelessness.
Though there was a chance that Gerard would bla his staff for everything and be from all the accused while his staff would be proven guilty. He would still be blad for his lack of wisdom and maturity to be fooled by the staff up to this limit.
And the proud Gerard, who was famous for his intelligence and wits, would be mocked by the empire for taking foolish decisions. Only the thought of it gave so much satisfaction. I really want to kiss the one who has burnt his stores!
Hugging the parchnt after reading it again and again, I walked out of the library with dreamy eyes! I could see his end in front of my eyes.
"Abigail! You and the library! By any chance, did you forget your way?" asked Josephine as she walked out of the library too.
"Isn't it a beautiful place to start your day?" I replied with the sa smile as I looked at the parchnt in my hands again.
"Really? Then why don't you co and spend every morning here giving company." she asked and I blinked.
"I never knew you had an affinity for reading!" I asked as I saw a thick book in her hands.
"Tsk.. do you think i am a barbarian who only knows how to use her sword?" said the woman who forced to wield a sword with her when we t for the first ti!
"I am good at everything you can think of! So, do not give that look, or else you will be punished.'' I closed my eyes and mouth and stood there silently nodding my head.
"Now tell , why are you here?" she asked again and my hold on the parchnt paper tightened.
In the end she was still a cousin of Gerard. Would it be a good idea to show her the parchnt. But then again, she would co to know about the rumors once they shattered to talk about it. Isn't it better that I tell her everything personally?
She was looking at with interest as I struggled. In the end, I sighed and passed her the parchnt. She raised a brow and then started reading.
"I wonder how did you know that this news was going to be published today?" she asked, raising a brow at .
"I heard a few people gossiping about when i went for a walk in the central garden of university. Apparently, this news is spreading like fire in the academy.`` I replied as I was already prepared for the question.
"Hmmm, but it has nothing to do with . I am getting late for the classes anyway. Are you coming with ?" she asked, returning the paper and I nodded.
"Your highness, this is your first ti as a student, are you nervous?" I asked as I saw her walking leisurely while Leo was holding books for both of them.
"I am the princess, why would I be nervous? Shouldn't others be nervous as they are going to study with ?" she asked with a proud smirk and I learnt about another level of narcissism flowing in the blood of these siblings.
"Lady Abigail, lady Abigail.." i stopped walking further when i saw a boy running towards us with screaming my na.
"Yes, are you looking for ?" I asked as the boy stood in front of and started talking a few deep breaths to cover the lack of oxygen in his body.
"Yes, I have a letter for you." he replied as he passed a letter that was black! Surprisingly, I did not rember any noble family having black seal and cover.
"My lady, the sender, has requested you to read the letter in private and send a reply through urgently." added the boy as he looked at Josephine with a flustered face.
"I think you have earned a new admirer, Abi. i will see you later to get the details." she replied and gave a look to leo who nodded and they both left there alone.
I opened the letter with a frown at the authoritative tone of the sender.
"My dear Abigail,
My aide told that you are using my na carelessly without even an iota of fear. I wonder who gave you the liberty and courage to write a gossip letter addressed by my na.
But at least, it made realize my prowess in the capital too. Thanks to that, I have decided to co to the capital and et you.
So, shall I give you reward or punishnt for being this brave and witty?
I am giving you a chance to convince before I hang you.
Yours lovingly
Eastern duke.
------------
I gulped as I looked at the chirpy boy who was still waiting for to write a reply for the letter.
'Fuck! I clearly rember the eastern duke was never seen in my past life. How could he be so petty to co here just by this tiny incident'
"I think there is so misunderstanding." i said with a sweet smile and the boy blinked.
"This letter is not for . it is for so other Abigail!" I replied, if i never received the letter he could not claim to punish , right?
