“Do you think he would really do it?“ asked one of the man as he leaned back on his seat sipping from his mug.“ It doesn’t matter, his grace said that even if they don’t admit it, he could still frame them for it while they’re busy looking for their daughter,” the other man said who seemed to be their leader,Elinor leaned back from her hiding spot and looked at Azeph who was still listening in on them.‘His grace…’ Elinor’s fears were turning out to be exactly what they were. There were very few people that one would call ‘his grace’ in their kingdom. And there were fewer people who could sabotage the railroads in order to stop the king’s people from getting there before it was too late.“Where’s the girl?” Azeph asked“Will is getting her from the back, we have to be ready to move as soon as he signals us,” she told him.As she adjusted the dress she was wearing.“Are you sure you can move freely in that?” Azeph asked her.“There’s no helping it. It’s the same dress the baron’s da

When the mud supporting Elin’s arms gave out beneath her, she slipped. As she started falling down the cliff, her life started flashing before her eyes.That’s it, she was going to die. Just when she was this close to getting to her first lead. The road was still long before her. She needed to fulfil her promise.That’s when everything became too clear in her head.That’s when she felt a hand grab her halting her fall. “Hang on,” Azeph gritted pulling her back in one pull. He circled his arm around her waist pulling her up and taking her up as they fell to the ground her on top of him.“Are you alright?” Azeph asked as he sat her up and began patting her arms.“I-I’m okay,” she told him her voice trembling and he sighed leaning foreword pressing his head to hers.“Thank god,” he said, “I would have never forgiven myself if something happened to you,” he added his eyes strained with worry.Elinor’s heart pounded still with the shock of what happened. But when she saw Azeph lean down,

Azeph watched as Elinor made her way to the girl who didn’t cower from her unlike how hysterical she became when Azeph tried to approach her.“You shouldn’t trust her,” the dying man heaved and Azeph looked down at him lifting one foot and pressing it to his throat.“For a dying man, you sure are taking your time. Should I help you take your last breath?” Azeph asked.Will shook his head hopelessly keeping the pressure on the man’s chest as his eyes widened thinking that Azeph would really crush his throat.“Am I the only one who has some humanity left here?” He said,” you two would make the perfect pair, you both have twisted dark sides as black as a tainted soul,”“He doesn’t even deserve to live the few moments you’re pffering him right now,” Azeph said“ Maybe I don’t but she doesn’t either. Do you think that it’s the first time she shot someone like that?” The man spoke again.“We’re not idiots, we know that,” Will said,They did, Elinor had told them in not so many ways that her

After Elinor left, more people came, more knights, investigators and even some people from internal affairs from the castle.Even Nathan And his two friends finally came looking tired and frightened. And the way things proceeded, it was as if Elinor had never been there.The commander had ordered both Azeph and Will to stand back in one of the carriages. It seemed like he wished to hide their presence there too. Later on, one of the internal affairs officer who happened to be one of Will’s relatives came into the carriage.“You two must be frustrated,” he said after greeting them, “after everything you did, his majesty still wishes to hide your presence here today,” “Not at all, I understand it’s for a good reason. Is it to hide Elinor Pendragon’s presence here,” Will askedThe man’s eyes widened for a moment before he chuckled.“Honestly, these familiarities that you use in the academy are alway catching me off guard,” he said, “Yes, hiding her highness’s presence is something cruc

Elinor looked at the scenery before her and took a deep breath.“I never thought this was going to end,” she said stretching her arms up and smiling.“You should’ve called me earlier,” Louis said as he gathered the papers scattered on her desk, “in fact, you should’ve told me back at the academy before going on that reckless mission,”“You’re talking as if you’ve been reachable, I didn’t see you since before the debate day. Where were you off to?” She asked“Taking care of some business,” he answered and she rolled her eyes.“When you let me know when you’re plotting something, I will make sure to tell you about what I’m doing,”“I don’t like you putting yourself in danger like this. Since Nicolas died, you’ve been acting unlike yourself. It’s not like you to be this reckless,”“Maybe I am acting like myself for the first time,” she challenged.“You’re smarter than this, Elin, you can’t fool me with that act.” He said.Elinor sighed and remained silent for a while.“When was the audie

"You're back!" Will said as he came up to Elinor lifting her up from the ground and spinning her in circles.Elinor squealed and then laughed."What are you talking about?! Of course, I'm back!" She told him her head was light and spinning from being moved in a circle for too long."We were told that you may not return," Will said as he looked at Azeph who was standing back behind him giving her a strange look, "Right? Azeph?" "Yes, the head of internal affairs said that you won't be returning. I'm glad your back," He said,"He must have been mistaken," She said giving Will a smile before sitting down at their favorite table where they always had tea,"You look much better, I was worried that those scratched were going to take longer to heal," Will told her and Azeph took her hand in his checking her palm and making her so startled that she dropped her cup,"I'm sorry," He said, "Didn't mean to startle you," he said letting go of her hand,"It's okay, I was spacing out and didn't rea

"What happened?" Will asked as he came toward where Azeph was still standing, "Where'd Elin go?" "She left," Azeph responded simply while he tried to contain his anger inside him and not snap at his friend.He had no idea how that conversation ended like that. He had never seen Elin bursting out like that, in fact, he had never seen her get emotional except when that kidnapper admitted to hurting Nathan’s sister openly.Before leaving, she when ordered them to throw his body out in the wood as she had promised him before he died.His respect for her rose in that particular moment. Some of the knights looked at her as if she was a heartless slaughterer, but he'd seen her as a born leader.Because only a true leader would be able to issue that kind of order without caring about what others might think of them. For the general good. To make an example of the man who dared do such shameless acts. And a message to his companion who wouln't have cooerated if he hadn't heard what his compan

“The results will be out this evening, are you excited?” Daisy asked as they walked toward the library to return some books that Daisy had been reading.“Not really. Attending the ball is already enough for me,” Elinor answered simply. The ball was going to be the next day and everyone was so excited about it. Most of the students were taking advantage of the day off given by the Academy to pamper and prepare themselves for the ball. Especially the female students.Some of them headed down to town to do some supplementary shopping.Elin’s special class didn’t have the day off. They had to study that day too because to the headmaster this was a form of training too. Attending social events is a part of daily life for people like them and they have to learn to be ready for them without needing to take time off from their work or maybe in this case, their studies.Elinor enjoyed class these days because the addition was making it much more interesting.Now that Stella was there, along wi
