> Christian was seated at the dining table with Edward, Hilda and Crystal. He ate the food in his plate and glanced at everyone at the table. He had caught Crystal staring at him countless time and saw she had diverted her eyes each time her eyes met his. He almost finished his meal and drank the water in the glass next to him. "Thank you, Aunt!" Christian said, being polite. "You're welcWilliams was in the drawing-room, along with Tracey and Fiona. He was playing chess with Thomas while the ladies spoke in whispers. He had suspected their discreet conversation was about Rebecca."Your grace." A steward said as he entered the room. He bowed in front of them."You have a letter."Williams moved the bishop and took out Thomas' queen. His knight and his bishop surrounded his king. Thomas furrowed his brow confusingly and glanced at his master."Checkmate." Williams said with a smirk.Thomas was stunned and looked at the sets carefully."It can't be. I had played the game well and-." Thomas said in disbelief, trying to understand how he was defeated."You might have the skills but chess is a game of the mind. You've be conscious before you make a move." Williams said as he stood on his feet. He walked towards the steward and collected the letter from him.Fiona watched him as he opened it and read it."What does the letter say?" She a
Fiona walked through a path, away from the house and stopped when she saw someone ahead. She recognized who it was and sneered at him. "It's about time you came." The thief said,"I have been standing here for an hour now.""I didn't ask you to wait for me nor did I wish to see you." She replied curtly. "But you'll still need me. Have you suddenly forgot our deal?" He reminded her."Oh, for goodness sake! There is no deal anymore. You were given a simple task and ended up ruining it." She scoffed."You never explained to me that the prey was charming." He said, without making eye contact."You were supposed to know neither of that. Your job was to kill her and not sleep with her. You were lucky she was kind of to plead for your life." She said coldly."And if she didn't, I'll probably still be free and you would have left this house. It wouldn't hurt anyone if the Duke knew who had sent me and what their real intentions were." He said mischievously,
Crystal made the bed and was pleased with her achievement. She had worn a smile and turned her head round when she heard the door creaked open."You're still here?" Christian asked doubtfully as he entered the room. He closed the door behind him."Yes. I wanted to make sure everything was okay for you before I leave. I guess I've done most of things I'm supposed to." She said jovially, in a cowardly voice."I'm sorry that I had indirectly forced you to stay this long. It's already dark outside and Aunt would be waiting for you." He pointed out."It's not your fault. I had agreed to help you, hadn't I?" She said softly, walking towards him. Crystal stood in front of him and held his hands. She smiled at him."Thank you, Crystal. I don't know what I would've done without your help." He said friendly."You don't have to thank me every now and then. I feel happy when I'm with you and by your side." She said affectionately.They both stared at each other
George was in the throne room and paved up and down. The butler walked in and observed him. He saw how tense the King was and became curious."Your Majesty,"George turned to his side and looked at him. He stopped pacing."I've been watching you for a few minutes and observed you're troubled about something." Roy said plainly,"Does it has anything to do with the Princess leaving the castle?""Fiona isn't my problem right now. She has foolishly decided to go after Williams." George blurted out."Then what bothers you, Your Majesty? I might be of help and try to solve it." The butler said candidly.George looked at him thoughtfully and smiled slyly."You certainly will be of help to me. You remember the maid who had worked here? Her name is Rebecca." "Re-." Roy said, trying to recall who is she,"Yes, I do remember her. She was close to Her Majesty." "Yes. I need you to go and look for her. I want you to inquire if truly she is with a chi

"Thank you, Aunt!" Christian said, being polite. "You're welcome, dear." Hilda replied with a smile. "I'll go and keep my plate in the sink." He said as he stood up from the chair. Hilda replied in a nod and continued her meal. Christian glanced at Edward and left the room. "I'm full." Crystal said as kept her cutlery. Hilda looked at her and her plate. She furrowed her brow confusingly. "But you haven't finished your food yet.
Rebecca sat down on the bed with Catherine on her lap. She played with her daughter-pinching her cheeks playfully-and Catherine laughed. When she she smiled or laughed, her growing front teeth were visible. As they played, there was a knock on the door."Do come in." She said, without looking at the door. She poked her daughter's nose, which made her to laugh again.The door creaked open and Zita came in. She closed the door behind her and walked towards the bed."Good morning, Your grace!" "Morning, Zita. Do you want to carry her now?" Rebecca asked, knowing the obvious."Has she been fed?" Zita replied calmly, wearing a smile.Catherine had been kept on the bed and hit her hand on it. She giggled at the sound it made. She raised her head and saw Zita. She smiled and stretched out her arms, so that she could be carried."Yes, she has." Rebecca answered, carrying her daughter. She walked towards Zita and handed the child to her."Her teeth are growin
Fiona and Tracey had stopped at a jewellry shop. The horseman got down and helped the women to get out. Fiona pulled the door open and waited for Tracey to enter. They both did. They met jeweller and looked at the jewellery he showed them. "What do you think about this one, Princess? Wi
Fiona walked to the dining room and looked at the table. The Duke as well as his mother were seated at the table. She had a smile as walked to the table."Good morning, Mrs Tracey!" She said cheerily as she pulled up a chair. The chair she has pulled was closed to the Duke's on the other sid

Crystal turned the handle of the door and pulled it open. She entered the house and Christian followed suit. He closed the door and entered the living room."There you are!" Hilda said, relieved that they had returned."Where have you been? You were supposed to be back by lunch?""We
