Villainess Becomes The Knight

Abigail pov contd.

"Come, let's go to the hut, it is still raining." said Bella as she opened the umbrella once again.

The journey was worse than I had expected and my face was looking terrible. Though the reason was not rain, as Oliver has said, he knew riding the carriage well. It rode better than normal days even when the rain blurred this vision.

But I was still on pins and needles because of the promise I had made. 

"I think you should go and inform your father of our arrival first. Then we can go to the hut. I still need to inform you about my arrival as a knight to his highness.`` This was the best excuse I could form with my dull mind. But she was too happy to care, so she nodded immediately.

"Alright, you should go and complete all the formalities then. I will go and inform my father about our arrival." she hummed as she walked with a bright smile.

"Oliver, will you help in handling the luggage for a while. I need to do some formalities?" I asked the man who knew more than needed once again, and he nodded.

I walked towards the assigned hut with a lot of excuses that I could make.

There was a crowd already collected at the door. Mostly were young girls who were here to see the crown prince. 

"Great, now I have to struggle to gain access from these love sick fools too." I mumbled under my breath as I walked in.

"Would you leave the passage so that others can walk in and out?" I asked as I looked at the fans. As if a celebrity was in.

"We have been standing since morning, you can not just come and barge in." they turned with an intention to complain but when they saw my uniform, they were silent.

"Oh, you are the new knights of his highness. Would you help me in meeting him later?" asked the girl, fluttering her eyes and soon others followed. Now I was the centre of attraction instead of the door.

"Well, I can ask his highness. But I certainly can not make a decision on his behalf." i tried to explain, "but the one who would help me in entering in, i will do my best to recommend her name.'' I added as if a new hope had been given. They all nodded their heads and started pushing other girls so that I could walk in.

"Phew" I took a deep breath when I was finally in.

"You should be habitual of this drama, since you have to face it daily now." came the voice of the woman who was sitting leisurely there filing her nails that also with a dagger!

"Your highness" I bowed my head and she smirked.

"Are you happy to see me here? Finally we are going to spend all day together!" she said with sparkling eyes. 

I did not want to douse her enthusiasm but truth to be told I was far from happy when it came to spending time with these siblings!

"I would be if you did not try to compete with me and mock me every time we see each other." I replied in the most positive words I could think of.

"How could that be? From day one, you are my favorite way to pass my leisure time. I enjoy that annoyed face of yours and the way you try to smile even when you are glaring at me." she replied with an amused smile as if i was her pet animal.

"I could not agree with you anymore when it comes to this matter." came the voice from the room and William came out with a smirk on his face that i have wanted to wipe since day first.

"Your highness" I bowed again to greet him.

"You are late." he said as he sat beside Josehpine who looked at him as if he purred the air she was taking.

"I would have been early if there was not a wall of girls.'' I replied through gritted teeth, trying my best to maintain my smile.

"Oh, you should be habitual of that, you have to face them daily." he replied and Josephine glared at him. 

"I will try my best, your highness." he nodded at my response but i continued to look at him with an awkward face.

"Is there some other problem?" he asked, looking at my uneasiness.

"I was thinking, if i could get a share of the hut for my family too?" I asked with my best smile.

"Your family?" he asked, tilting his head.

"That tiny girl who is always afraid?" asked Josephine too with a raised brow.

"Yes, she is my sister and as the daughter of the duke we both have one side too." I replied with the same smile.

"You know we already have a staff of twenty people. And you want space for three to four more people. This but is not that large." said Williams and i looked around. It was equal to a whole floor of the most expensive hotel in modern times with more than thirty rooms! What was his definition of large then!

"Sigh. do not look at me like that. If you want something you better offer something in exchange." That was what I was expecting from this man from the start! 

"What can I offer to you, your highness, when you already have everything anyone can think of!" I tried to flatter him with a big smile on my face.

"I know, yet I have something I need from you. I want you to act as my shield in the academy. Tell everyone that I am dating you these days." my eyes widened at his unexpected thought. Since when the biggest flirt of the empire needed a shield to protect himself from the girls!

"But your highness.."

"You would not need it since your fiance is already here to give you company." came the voice from behind and my eyes widened as i looked at the girl that was entering.

"You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
