Fifty one
Prince Chandler had gone to the weaponry with the words of Penn still ringing in his head. Be careful of shadows, no matter how much he had tried to think about something else, the words kept ringing in his head.
And he felt guilty.
Penn's words were cutting but true. The soul of the innocents were all he could think of. That and the wickedness of the nobles. Their powers were being abused everywhere and this, he noticed because he was paying attention to the nitty-gritty details not the lofty things which the nobles wanted him to see on his journey.
“My prince.” His manservant called out softly and his voice was followed by the usual soft taps on the carriage door. “Are you asleep?”
Chandler smiled in amusement, if not for the fact that his mother will sink her claws into this one, he would have been tempted to keep him because he always manages to make Chandler smile. “If I am asleep, how cou

Chandler was happy and grinning so big that he did not know the source of his happiness, was it from the fact that it was his first time attending a trade fair and the sights were beautiful, so many places to buy things, it was just like a market but more colorful than usual.On the other hand, maybe he was happy because this was for the first time he was legitimately alone, with no guards on his trails or servants hurrying behind him. He was just like every other citizen, anonymous and unknown. Just one in the crowd.The coin with him was not enough to buy a lot of useless trinkets and he was not sure he needed one, he wanted to go to a place where his coin will be deeply appreciated and waste enough time there that by the time he was done, he could go back and get to his carriage.Yes, he needed to think but this was a very wrong place for him to be absentminded. And he does his thinking better when he was not worried about being ribbed

Penn watched Curtis and Patty laugh and joked around as her brows went down in deep concern, she knew that she should not suspect Curtis based on the fact that she did not trust him but there was no other option. Rima certainly was not the person betraying the resistance, she had no reason to. All her family belongs to the resistance, the only reason why she was not groomed to join in the resistance before was because it was believed that women could not help in terms of war just like the empire archaic belief of that fact that women did not belong in politics or among soldier. Rima had built a life for herself when it comes to the resistance. She has started training female spies, something which the resistance was finding profitable and amazing because people say a lot of things in presence of the females, either to brag or because they are just arrogant people who believes that if you are not a man, you are invisible. General Cain was one of the second group. And Rima could not t

When Penn caught Rima and Stanley kissing the next day as she went to tell them her suspicions about Curtis, she knew that their relationship has shifted forever but it still did not change the fact that she was going to give them great grief for it, after all what are friends for?“Is this our designated meet up point for some cuddling, hugging and maybe kissing?” Penn asked as she watched Rima fly out of Stanley's arms with a sound of embarrassment. “Come on now Rima, I should be the one who should be surprised and feeling scandalized, I just saw something which will never leave my head.” Penn added with a fake shiver as Stanley glared at Penn.“Cut it out.” Stanley glares at Penn who laughed as she watched Stanley try to calm Rima down but Rima refused to let herself be held by Stanley.“Rima, do not tell me that you are now feeling shy, you did not three minutes ago when you did not care about anybo

The prince saw Penn look turn to anger at the sight of him and gulped, why was talking to this boy felt like he was undergoing the largest conquest of his life and he wanted to come out victorious? And victorious in Penn case was having the brat as a friend.“Your Highness.” Penn bowed mockingly when Stanley hits her.“You know that you do not have to do that.” Chandler protested weakly.Penn straightened with her expression blank, struggling to keep the anger from her face. “Yes I do your highness. I would not want you to hit me again.”Chandler flinched as he used one of his hand to rub his face like he was tired. Why on earth was Penn this difficult to be friends with? And why was he still pushing to be friends with the brat when things like this do happen, was he that lonely for real attention? “I am sorry that I ever tried to lay my hand on you in anger.” Chandler said de

“What!” Rima and Stanley asked at the same time.“We have a traitor…” Penn started to repeat with a roll of her eyes, she knew that when she came to the conclusion too that it was hard for her to comprehend that the resistance has been infiltrated but the couple in front of her both wore matching disbelief and it was too identical for Penn not to react in any way. “We heard you the first time, you know that is not what we were asking.” Rima snapped at Penn then when Penn raised an eyebrow at her, it was her turn to roll her eye but she continued her thoughts. “How are you so sure that it is Curtis? I know that you hate him Penn but to pin such a huge punishable crime on such an innocent young man, that is wrong Penn.” Rima ended in an admonishing tone as Penn jaw flapped opened to stare at Rima in shock.She never expected Rima words one bit. She was not doing this because she hated him!

Rima saw Curtis in the cattle stall, which was where he spent his free time these days, he was among the cattle as usual but this time he was playing with a Calf while the mother watched on. Rima took a moment to appreciate the scene before her. It was a far cry from when Curtis was forced to clean their stalls and all, so many changes Curtis has done all within the space of three months.Which was why she found it hard to believe that Curtis would be the person to leak out any information. After all, he had found his place among them and he did not really annoy her as such as he did any longer and he had grown on her, not like Stanley did neither was it like the way she and Penn became friends but Curtis own was a mixture of both and still not as strong as her friendship with Stanley and Penn but it was still considered that. Friendship.“Hello Rima.” Curtis said without looking up from the Calf he was playing with.“How

Vallas sighed in anger as he walk faster than Denzel, he despise being anywhere near the man and the resistance knew this, would that stop them from pairing him up with the person in question? Unfortunately no. it was like they wanted him and Denzel to try and destroy each other to see who would come on victorious.“Would you act like a grown up for once and slow down so that I and you will provide a united front?” Denzel snaps at Vallas who glared at him.“That is the last thing I want to do, I do not want to provide anything with you, I am starting to think that favoritism is coming into play in the resistance because you did not have any business being here.” Vallas returns as Denzel caught up with him.“So do you, the only reason why I was sent was to balance you and you know that.” Denzel added.“Your legacy is the major suspect!” Vallas forced out.“And your l

“Penn calm down and let me treat your arm.” Rima said as she hurried after Penn just as he stopped in front of the dining room which they never use then turned to face her with the unhidden fury he felt trained on her and the silent boy who wax tagging behind her and silent from the guild he was feeling.“This would not have happened if both of you were not having issues, I get that you were a couple and you are allowing things which should not affect you to affect you now but you both need to sort yourselves out because the resistance is not a place for brats.” Penn snaps at Rima and gestured at Stanley with her arm that was injured before the Pain hits her again and she groaned as she used her other hand to support it.“Let me help.” Rima rushed forward but Penn shouted.“I do not need your help, I do not want it too, either from you too.” Penn yelled at Stanley. “Just get over what is mak
