Abigail pov contd.
I have thought that i could win over the fears of my last life. But whenever I see Gerard my brain seems to malfunction. I reached back to my past and my body instantly started reacting. If William and Noah had noticed there was no way that Gerard had not noticed it. But the point was should I still go to him and try to make friends with him so that I could keep an eye on him or shall I ignore him and let him know that I was not on his side.
I closed my eyes as the answer was clear as day in front of my eyes. I could not act and be friendly to him. Better go and insult him and get so peace of mind.
"Noah, have you ever subtly insult soone without using words?'' I asked, rubbing my hand when all my enthusiasm t with cold water.
"Did I not insult you without using words these days?" he asked, tilting his head and I glared at him.
"Tsk tsk.. You do not insult , you bully . That also by using your power as my master that my father has given you" i said rebuking his misuse of powers but he just shrugged.
"You are lucky today, i will show you how to insult soone. Co and learn from .'' I moved forward without looking back at his face.
When I walked closer to Gerard he stood up with a pleased face. I wonder why he was so interested in talking to !
"Ah, Lady Abigail. I thought you would not get ti to talk to ." he said with a soft smile on his face.
"Oh, i apologise, were you waiting since long my lord. I did not want to keep you waiting but I could not deny the crown prince." i replied with the sa smile but before he could say anything i continued, "after all, he is the future of the empire. While you and I are just nobles. No matter how much hard work we do, we will always be under him and have to follow his commands." my voice was full of pride and dreamy and he gritted his teeth.
I could see him clenching his fingers and his face turning stiff.
"It is not necessary my lady. Skills and intelligence are important too, or else the empire would not be able to flourish." he said cutting , it was apparent that he was talking about him since he was called the most talented person in the empire.
I laughed hard as if I had heard a joke. Many nobles looked at us as mostly noble ladies did not laugh that hard.
"This was a good statent to make my heart feel better, my lord. But no matter how much hard work we do and how smart we are, in the end the ruler would rule and we would work under him. Isn't the minister always smart? But he had never ruled the empire, and knights are more powerful but they have always worked under him, it is a matter of loyalty and trust towards the sun of the empire.
Royal blood and na of the sun of the empire can never be archived by hard work, but you are still lucky to be the archduke, the personal assistant of the future son of the empire." 'in short you are nothing but a dog who was going to wag his tail at his command' i looked at him with a smile but his face had long turned red, he nodded with difficulty as he gave a stiff smile.
"Excuse , my lady. I have so urgent work to deal with." he gave the last excuse and left the area. I smirked looking at his back that soon disappeared from the crowd when I felt soone's eyes on .
When I turned to see there was no one in the crowd. I frowned as I was sure soone was there.
"That was what you call an insult?'' I heard Noah murmuring and I turned to look at him.
"Why, do you have any better ideas?"
"Defeat him, the best insult is when the person who thinks that he is the most superior loses to nobody."
"I would do that too. But it would take ti. His roots are much deeper than you think. His father is the brother of the empress and his family had relationships with the royal family for generations.`` I told him and he chuckled.]
"Wasn't your mother from the royal palace too?" i just shook my head at his remark.
"But you still did not tell , why are you so against him? I did not think you have t him before your competition.'' I was sure he had asked this question umpteenth ti, yet he was asking again.
"I will tell you once we both start trusting each other. We have a long way to go in the future together." I looked at the distance hoping that this ti, the future was not the sa as before.
"Sir Abigail"
I turned to see a man with silver hair looking at . His cold blue eyes looked at intently, though there was a smile on his face, my sense had turned sharp which was telling to beware.
"This letter is sent by his royal highness to you. He had said that he wanted an instant reply. And if you did not reply till the end of the party then it would be taken as your final rejection.'' His words surprised . I thought that William had already rejected . But it was my golden chance.
"Would you be kind enough to wait for a mont so that I can read the letter first?" I asked and the man nodded, yet he didn't even blink his eyes or stop looking at as if he was looking directly into my soul.
"A letter to invite for the ceremony of knighthood and a promise to serve him."
