Williams as well as the other knights, who had survived the battle, were seated at the dining table. George had held a banquet specially for them as a way of celebrating, after they had won the war. The knights ate and drank to their satisfaction. Williams had no interest in the food in front of the them and drank wine instead. He picked up his cup and stood up from the chair. He walked away from the table and had a tour round the palace.Williams had entered the throne room and caught a glimpse of George. He too was entering the room. "Your Majesty." Williams said and bowed."Williams," George said plainly,"I hope you're enjoying the banquet.""I am, Your Majesty. The knights needed a break from being at the war front and this banquet is what they need." Williams replied coolly."Mm! I owe you for saving the kingdom. Otherwise, neither of us would be here right now." George said.Williams didn't reply and drank the liquid in his cup. "You don't se

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

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

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,

Rebecca had woken up early and snuck out of the bedroom. She went to the kitchen and stayed at the door. Zita was present as well as another maid. She had caught a glimpse of the Duchess when she turned her head round. "Good morning, Your grace!" Her salutation alerted the other who was with her. "Good morning, Your grace!" The latter said and curtsied. "Good morning." Rebecca answered cheerily with a smile. She walked towards the island. She leant against it. Zita observed that she was happy-extremely happy-and was curious to know why. "May I know the reason why my mistress is joyous today?" She asked jovially, in a polite tone. "Leave us, please!" Rebecca said to the other maid. She nodded and left the kitchen. Rebecca watched her as she left. She walked closer towards Zita, wearing a smile. "Well?" Zita asked, a bit impatient. "I'm just happy." She replied softly, being enthusiastic. "Did you make up with the Duke?" Zita asked. "Mhm!" Rebecca replied in a hum and nodde
