“Everything will be done at night!!'' That was the last statement she heard before she hid in a corner, knowing that they were coming out of the room. She was still peeping to see who they were and what they looked like. The physician walked out, then followed by a young man with a white beard.

A memory flashed through her head. She recalled that face, that beard that was rubbed the moment her mother was stabbed while on the floor. He was the one, the head of the gang group that was sent to murder her parents. It was him, and now he's after her too.

“I wonder who he killed thinking that it was me.” she thought and shook her head. “Since we met again, I won't let you go unscathed. We will meet each other tonight.” she came out of her hidden corner and began moving to her room.

She has a lot to do. The file, she needs to search for it in Luna's room, and then she has to do something about her background and the buried corpse.

“Flarry, “ she mind-linked him. “How do I make my background look good to hear? She wants to dig into it,” she revealed to him.

He hissed. What he hates is that none of the information is about what he wants. “I have nothing to do with that.”

“Then that means I'll die here right? You want to become an enemy too?” she slammed back at her.

He scoffed. “Fine, I'll do something about it before the sun sets. So any good news?”

She shook her head. “Not yet! They are after digging out the corpse buried in my name years back to run a paternity test, so I want us to dig it out before them. I also found the man who stabbed my mother…..im not letting him go.”

“Leave the fucking messenger and focus on the King. Are you insane or what?” he shrieked at her. This was the first time she was doing things the way she wanted. “Look, I'm helping you get your revenge and that doesn't mean you should play with my time.”

“If you didn't want me to play with your time, then why did you send me over instead of doing it yourself? I want revenge, and my type is different from yours because I just don't want to kill them and let go of the throne—I have to take care of my family's title.” she snapped at him. “Fine, I'll dig the corpse out myself after I'm done searching for the file.'' She cut the link.

With the way he's always against any idea she brings up, she will have to stop telling him what she's up to…and then he should only wait for when they will be dead.

Minutes turned to hours and then night fell through. She has two things to deal with while others are asleep. She must search for the file and go after the gang, not just to attack him ... but to locate where the grave is and distract him from digging out the corpse.

She got dressed in the washroom and put on a gown that disguised her attire. When she walked out, a maid was standing with a tray of food.

“I have no appetite. Take it back or keep it until I feel like eating,” she uttered and made her way out of the room. Everyone in the palace will one day find out how mean she is to everyone, but she will try her best to be jovial when with the king as a camouflage.

Seeing that there was no one watching because the servants were surrounding the royal dining room, watching the royal family eat, she sneaked into Luna's room and locked it up.

She drew out the drawers in the room in search of the file but found nothing, then she lifted the bed yet nothing was there. “Did she take it out because I look familiar to her?” She arranged the room again and unlocked the door.

Hearing footsteps approaching the door, she jumped out through the window and found herself before Flarry. “My goodness! What are you doing here?” she was startled to see him by that time.

His face was so squeezed. “I came to see here, and you found me.”

“Why not mind linking me instead? You're taking a very big risk.” she glanced around and then pulled out her gown. He handed over to her a mask. “You have to stop using that shit.”

She had it on and then threw the old one aside. “They will see it and begin searching for the owner.” she smiled widely.

“What's so funny?”

“It's never your business. So why are you here?” he replied, letting out a deep breath.

“To see what is going on between you and Arthur. I have that bad feeling that you're falling for him—only to see you jumping out.” he hissed and drew him into his arms the moment a flashlight came towards their direction.

“Someone is coming after us…. Run away,” he whispered to her and she nodded, knowing that he could handle it alone and that there was a possibility of her being caught while with him. He will mistakenly mention her name and that will be the end of everything.

She jumped through the palace fence and took the route that would lead her into the bush immediately. Knowing that anyone on a mission must surely pass through that way. She reached a point where she sat down and began taking a rest while waiting for the gangs to show up.

Her attire was black all through, and her mask covered her face. Thanks to Flarry, she changed her mask and won't fall into the trap of being caught with the mask. When they see that mask on the floor there, they will be well convinced that the assassin also visited the palace.

Footsteps approaching made her stay still. She monitored the route the person was taking and then began tiptoeing further until she caught him. “He isn't a gang. An assassin too?” it was unbelievable, but she had to believe it since he was standing right before him.

She followed him quietly until he reached the place where he dug in a shovel.

“That must be the grave!” she thought and stood up, getting her palm on her sword to unsheathe it when Flarry’s voice hit her mind.

“I took the mask and your gown, but the KIng is searching for you since the guards who fought me alerted the whole palace of an attack. Does he love you that much to care if you are safe?” he stated.

She let go of her sword. “That's not important right now. I have to return to the palace so I won't look suspicious to him, but I can't let this man dig this grave.” her eyes shut in confusion.
