Abigail pov
The boy frowned looking at and then at the letter. Scratching his nape, he asked hesitantly.
"But there is only one Abigail Essendson in the whole academy and you even nodded and turned when I called you, and took the letter and tore the seal too. Now after reading it, how can this letter not be yours?" Although he was still asking , he was sure that the letter was mine. But he could not understand why I was denying it.
"Well, it is because you said that the letter is mine, and the letter had my na on it. See, Abigail is writing on it.`` I pointed at the start of the letter and he nodded again and again.
"So, give a reply. I want to pass it and get my gold coin." told the boy honestly as he forwarded his hand towards .
"Yes, that is what I am saying, the letter is written to Abigail, but not Abigail Essendson. The matter of the letter is not related to ., you have to find another Abigail whom this letter belong to.'' I once again shoved the letter in his hands.
He frowned looking at the letter and then at .
"But there are many Abigail's in the academy. How would I know whom this letter belongs to? I am sure the sender has taken your na." he complied as he did not let go.
"Well, maybe he did not know for whom the letter was written and assud it was since i am the most popular Abigail in the academy.'' I lied through a straight face and this ti the man finally nodded. Though he was still looking reluctant.
"Then I shall go and ask others by showing them the letter." he said and I shook my head.
"The letters have personal and intimate contents. I am already embarrassed to read this. If you show the contents to other girls they would think you are doing this intentionally and then they might beat you.
I did not do so, because I can see how innocent you are from your face. But not everyone is kind like ." I replied , fluttering my eyelids. As my cheeks turned red.
"Oh! Then what shall I do?" he asked with a flushed face. He jerked the letter as if it was scalding hot and he got burnt by it.
"I think you should let it go. If it is just a matter of a gold coin then as a good friend. I can give it to you." I gave him the gold coin and he smiled.
"Really, thank you, my lady. Then I shall get going."
"But dear, what about the sender? Would he not disturb you by getting a reply?" I asked , showing concern on my face.
The boy smiled and shook his head.
"No, he is on the outer corner of the academy. He asked to pass the letter, it ant he could not co in. If I do not go back, he will wait for a few hours and then leave. If I ever et him again, I will say that I have co back with the reply but you weren't there anymore." he replied, shrugging his shoulders. I nodded my head as the boy bowed his head and left.
I looked at the letter that was still on the ground and hid it in my pockets. Looking around I walked away from there with gritted teeth. I was sure that the man would contact again and the sa excuse would not work all the ti.
I have to end it sohow.
Walking towards the boundary of the academy, I jumped the wall.
"Hey, what are you doing?" asked the guard on duty.
"I am going to pass a ssage to the lover of his highness. Keep it a secret or he will be annoyed and I can not guarantee what he will do when that happens." I threatened and the man shivered.
"What are you talking about. I didn't even see you and I don't even know who you are. Go and co before twilight." said the man as he looked the other way, too afraid to even et my eye.
I nodded my head, assuring him as I moved further and took a round of the academy, hiding my face in the veil again. There was only an old man, who looked like a head servant or butler, standing on the door.
I was hoping to see at least a knight, but it was better.
"Why are you standing here, old man?" I asked the man who turned to look at .
"Aah, i have never thought that you would co to et personally, lady Abigail." said the man, taking a breath of relief as he gave a warm smile.
I blinked, I was sure that the mask had hidden enough! Then how did the man know I was Abigail?
My brows furrowed as I faked anger, "what are you talking about? I am her knight." The man looked at with surprise and then chuckled.
"It is a very good joke, mistress. But there is no way that I will not recognize my future owner. I am not that old yet!" said the man with a warm smile, making further annoyed. I moved my hand and checked the veil, but it was completely hiding my face.
"You are mistaken, old man. I am not Abigail, and how did she beco your mistress?" His absurd words left stunned for a minute.
"Oh, my lord is going to marry the lady. So, of course, you are my new mistress." The man bowed his head and then took out a ring from his pocket.
"My lord has told to convey a ssage to you. He said, you can use the na freely as per your will. You just have to accept his proposal and then he and the na both will be yours."
