Forty Eight
The capital was alive at night and the resistance was just as alive and active as the capital was. While the capital was streaming with festivities and laughing children playing on the streets and eating candies, Penn looked around from her perch in the Prime Minister’s house, these children had everything handed to them in their lives, they were happy because they have not witness the horrors which belong to the real world yet, the horrors which their parents created and in turn will teach them to create when they get older. Penn was not happy with those thoughts because they were true.
“So here is where you are hiding.” Rima’s voice announced her presence before the door slammed shut.
Penn looked down where she was clearly visible to those who were celebrating in the streets then raised an eyebrow at Rima. “You and I have different definitions of hiding.” Penn muttered drily as Rima approached him rolling her eyes at Pe

Penn's face was fixed in an impassive mask and he followed Curtis to where Cain was waiting for her, her heart was beating loudly in her chest as she was thankful that she wore her usual free clothing and that there was no injury on her because of yesterday’s alterations.“Why is the Prime minister here?” Penn wondered out loud while Curtis snorted.“Maybe to gloat or prove to us that he has found us out when he has not even had the slightest idea about what is really going on.” Curtis responded as Penn's mind came down a little bit.Resistance could cover their tracks with something closed to perfection, something which she had taught to them, she was certain that they took care of leaving any incriminate evidence behind, Curtis must have been right, Cain came here to gloat.And Penn was not in the mood to listen to that gloating.“Curtis, do me a favor. When you drop me off with Cain, I

“You are late.” The maid said to Curtis as Curtis gritted his teeth in anger. Maids ought not to talk to him like that but this was no ordinary maid, she was the queen special maid and spy and Curtis even sometimes think that she was more loved to the queen than her own daughter and this maid was just as cruel of the queen and was also wrapped in a pretty package too.“I had to get away after I was sure that they were drunk from celebrating. If they were not I would not have been able to leave.” Curtis returns as the maid glared at him.“The queen is upset with you, why did you not tell her that The Prime minister home was going to be attacked. She gave him many priceless things that was destroyed in that little farce the resistance put up, need I remind you what exactly is still keeping you alive.” The maid's nose was raised as she said her last piece as snottily as possible while Curtis fists clenched.

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!
