Edgar

Ever so stubborn.

I did as she said even though all I could think about was grabbing her and crashing my lips against hers, and finish what we started.

“Good. You can speak now.”

She said, her voice surprisingly calm. How could she be so calm after what happened a minute ago?

It took me a while to collect myself, and even now my heart was still beating.

I smirked. “How long are you going to keep running, Celeste?” I asked, taking a step forward.

“I'm not running.” She sounded defensive.

“Really?”

“Yes. You don't scare me.”

“On the contrary, I think I do.” I stepped forward again.

She eyed me, but didn't move.

“I am not. I just hate you.”

“Again with this.” I sighed. How long did she plan on using that line.

“How long are you going to keep telling yourself that?” I questioned. I was closer now. So close that her scent wafted into my nose, wrapping around me, and sending me into a frenzy.

Silence

“What? Cat caught your tongue?”

Her eyes narrowed in the way it did when she was up

    Celeste He trusted my judgement or he was suspicious? I didn't voice out my thoughts. “You seem to forget that I am no strategist.” He chuckled “You are definitely more than that, my love.” I let out a sigh. “Fine, I'll interrogate him, but I doubt I'll be able to be of much help.” “I doubt you won't.” He stood up almost at the same time I did. “When will this interrogation thing begin?” She asked. “Soon. Candor is currently with him.” I nodded. It was great that I didn't have to do any of this now. “Well, then let me know when I can.” “Of course. In the meantime, I have a couple of questions for you.” My stomach tightened. I didn't like that. “Questions like what?” I asked curiously… “Well, I'd like to know what one of your servant girls was doing around the interrogation room.” I managed to stifle my gasp. Had he actually noticed Lyra after all? “I'm not sure I understand your question.” “One of your servant girls, the odd one. She w

    Çhapter Edgar A decade and a half ago. I stared at Eloise as she washed her in the stream. She was so graceful, it was a beautiful sight. I never wanted to leave her side, but duty called. I still had to avenge my bloodline. “You are staring.” She murmured without even turning to look. My face turned bright red. I quickly looked away. “It's okay. You can stare. I love it when you stare.” She said, this time her eyes met mine. “Thank you for coming back last night.” She said, “Right. “ I swallowed. Trying to look brave in front of her was almost impossible. She was so graceful, I barely felt worthy of being in her presence. “How did you know we needed help?” “A hunch, I guess.” “I see. Thanks for coming. I'm sorry I yelled at you.” The way the sun sparkled around her hair distracted me, that I had missed her next words. She walked towards me after wrigging the water off her hair, and kissed me on my cheeks. I smiled, pretending she hasn't just sent me spiralling an

    Celeste “Alright then. I'll get right on it.”“Thank you.” I sighed“And Sylvester?”“Yes, your majesty?”“The king doesn't need to know about this mission.”He nodded.He paused at the door, just as he was about to push it open.“Do you have any message for the family?” He asked.“Just find them first. I'll give the message once I have enough details of who they are.”He nodded, and exited the room.I let out a sigh.That was all I needed for now.After a while, I exited the room too.As I walked down the corridor, I noticed my worst enemy walking towards me Gloria.She paused with one of her court ladies and gave a disrespectful bow.“Your majesty.” She smirked. “You seem upset, anything I can help with?”Her eyes shone with mischief.I knew she was mocking me, and the fact made my blood boil.“No, Gloria I doubt there's anything your kind can help me with.”The smirk on her face faltered for a second.“Well then, I shall take my leave. Have the day you deserve, your majesty.” She

    Celeste I stepped out as Edgar continued his interrogation, afraid that his guards were going to find Lyra sneaking aroundBut as I stepped out, I didn't find her. Instead, I found a couple of guards outside.They bowed as I walked out.Relief washed over me like a bail of cold water had been poured over my had after days in the sun.Good. She was smart enough to leave, but I wondered if she was able to glean whether or not the gardener was truly the mole or at least what he knew.“Fancy seeing you here," A familiar voice said beside me.I glanced to my left, and found Candor staring at me with his usual unreadable expression.He was dressed in black as usual, a holding turban wrapped around his head.“Candor.” I smiled politely. something about him made me feel like we were equals. I didn't have to pretend around him.“I heard the mole was found. Didn't want to miss the opportunity of finding out who'd abducted my lady in waiting.”“You seem to love your ladies a little too much.”I

    Celeste As soon as I stepped out of the carriage, I practically ran after Edgar, my legs moving faster than the wind.The first thing on my mind was to get LyraIf the mole had been found, Lyra was the only one that could tell me it the culprit was truly the mole Selene was at the door talking to Sylvester when I walked in.Her eyes widened when she saw me like she hadn't been expecting me so soon.“Get Lyra.” I said to her,She nodded, and quickly ran off.“Your majesty, is everything okay?” Sylvester asked.I nodded.“Yes, yes. Get the chef to get me some fruits or something.”He frowned at my request, but did as I told him.Good.I needed him away from me.Five minutes of pacing, waiting for Lyra as she arrived with Selene in tow.“Everything okay, your majesty?”She bowed.“They found the mole.” I whispered in her ear.Her eyes widened.“Come with me.” I said to her, and immediately began to walk towards where I suspected Edgar was.The guard room.She followed behind me, so did
