I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 111: SHE KNEW: PART 2



Chapter 111: SHE KNEW: PART 2

Creaaak!

Silvester had watched the door close after Evelyn left. His blue eyes still stares at the door. The information that she said left him speechless. She gave enough information about what happened during the four years that she hid herself in his Kingdom. 

Silvester unconsciously touched his temple as he knit his brows because of a brewing headache. He called George who also heard about everything Evelyn spilled.

"George"

"Yes, your highness."

"Gather information about the names Evelyn have spoken. Let's dig everything."

George saluted to his highness the Crown Prince of their Kingdom and left the room. Dig. He needs to dig everything until there's no left to hide. It's his specialty.

Silvester looked outside of the window, it's still bright outside but the heaviness that he felt while listening to her cousin was making him angry.

"Those bastards will pay!"

He knew that he can't make them kneel himself as it will bring dispute to the kingdoms that can lead to wars but he will never let them freely walk while Evelyn is making her plans.

***

Earlier while they are talking.

"I need to visit someone first"

"Who?"

She smirked when she looked at him.

"Uncle"

He knit his brows and asked her the questions.

"Why? He didn't do anything when you're gone Why do you need to visit him?" he said. He never wants to tell her that their uncle is just a human who acts when there's a gain for him.

"I don't care about that" he heard her voice while she grinned.

"That man needs to pay what he owes. You see it's too overdue. I need to get it now." she said, she's smiling but her sunset eyes are dangerously glowing like a predator.

'What did that old man do?' Silvester has swirling thoughts inside his head but he can't spill it out loud.

"Stop thinking about unnecessary things and let me meet the Crown Prince. No, Let me sneak into the palace." she said.

Silvester snaps back to reality and focuses on the conversation at hand. It seems that he has too many things to think about after her cousin talks about what she knows.

"I will actually visit the Kingdom of Levingstone in a few weeks, the celebration of the foundations of their kingdom will be held and they invited a lot of people from the neighboring Kingdoms. I can sneak you in as one of my envoys." he said, right now he's agreeing to what Evelyn needs from him.

It's what he needs to give for her, he thought, as her cousin who faced everything alone these past four years is here asking him a favor. Wll, he don't know that Gil and Cassandra is with her during those four years. She's not alone, technically but he will not know that because Evelyn kept it a secret.

"Thank you, SIl." she smiled, he stared at her and also smiled but deep inside he was having turmoil on what to do to those bunch of idiots.

"Don't worry about it, Eve."

"I'll be leaving first to visit uncle in the Kingdom of Levingstone, after that we can meet halfway and sneak me in the palace." she said.

"Sure We'll do what you plan first."

Silence befell them and after a while, Silvester talked and asked her.

"Are you going to visit him as Evelyn?"

"No"

"Then, as Adelyn?" she smiled in response. Seeing it he thought that she would visit their uncle as an Adventurer.

But Evelyn was actually having another plan inside her head that will make her uncle surprised and he will open his eyes wide as a reaction.

***

Silvester was still looking at the window of the inn, at present, he could see a lot of the adventurers coming in and out of the inn. He also saw his knight, his left hand man going out of the inn.

He instructed him to find out any dirt from the trash names that Evelyn spoke. That includes Headmaster Carsillion.

"Payment?" he mumbled.

"What did the old man do?" He can never get it out of his head. That's why even if he knew his knight would have a hard time finding out everything about Carsillion because of his meticulous behavior of hiding his plans, he could at least know what he was plotting.

That man never did anything when Evelyn went missing. It feels like he never had anything to do with his niece. 

"Heartless bastard!" he hissed.

***

Evelyn is back again as Adelyn and she is inside the office of Erick waiting for the information that she needed.

"Oh, our princess is here. How's the trip to the forbidden city?"

"Hmm why do you need to ask me about it when Adam already handed the report?"

"I just wanted to have a conversation first. I've missed our haughty princess you know~"

"Shut it, guild master. Where is it?"

"Getting straight to the point huh!"

She tried not to roll her eyes at him. He knew that Adelyn didn't like wasting time but he always tried to make her talk to him a bit more. Just to annoy her like what she does to him.

Anyway...

"Here... "

He tossed the brown envelope and Adelyn took the document out of it.

"I can only get this much information from them"

She smiled. This much is enough for now.

"Thanks I'll get going now." 

She stands and walks to the door. Click! The door knob was turned as she opened the door but before that she remembered something that she needed to talk about for the guild master.

"By the way I'll be out of commission for a while. Don't find me"

Tak!

The door close without Erick replying to what Evelyn just announced as he was in dazed when he heard the word 'out of commission'

"What does she mean about that?"

***

Evelyn is preparing their meal. It's dinner time and it's been so long since she cooked for them.

"Gil, Cassandra! Let's eat now!"

Gil ruffled her hair when he came to sit in the chair. He looked at the food that was prepared, the table was full with salad, meat, soup and dessert.

He looked at her. It's unusual for her to do this but pushed the thought as they are in front of the food.

Cassandra was the last to arrive. She fell in silence when she saw the smiling Evelyn and the food that was prepared on the table.

It's the food that Gil and Cassandra likes. She silently sat at the chair of the head of the dining table.

The room went quiet and the sound of clicking of table wares and the munching of the food was heard.

Evelyn was actually nervous, she was intending to tell them that she needed to go back to the Kingdom of Levingstone and wanted to know if they could come with her.

She knew that she needed to move fast because the enemy was making a move. Their first target was the prince and she can't let that happen.

Now, she wonders what happened after the novel "A Happy Ending" reached the finale. Did they really have a happy ending after Evelyn died in the novel and the Crown Prince got engaged to the heroine?

She doesn't know, but she has a feeling that now that the book is finished, everything will move on its own accord according to the will of the characters. And she can influence them now using the new identity she has.

This is also the reason why she was nervous and felt like she was forcing the two of them if she told them that she wanted them to be with her when she went to get her revenge. It's a request that she knew was heavy for the two as the one is a guardian of the Sushu mountain while the other was in hiding because of her powers.

Evelyn fakes a cough and puts the fork and spoon down.

"Ahem umm. I think I need to go back to the Kingdom of Levingstone."

They only looked at her and Evelyn gulped. She never felt this kind of feeling. She's only nervous around them.

"...and umm I was thinking that it would be lonely for the two of you if you are here, and I thought that we could also sight see"

She looked at them, their eyes and ears are focused only on what Evelyn will have to say next.

"So, umm how about we go and sell our wine there and find other types of herbs? What do you think?"

Evelyn was giving them a lot of reasons to go with her but not asking them directly, and Cassandra and Gil knew that she always makes them food whenever she will request something from them, although her requests are too simple and can be agreed right away.

She always seems to struggle to speak what she wants from them. Cassandra chuckles as well as Gil. They knew right away that she needed something because she initiated the cooking.

They just don't know that she wants to go back to her homeland with them. Well, for Cassandra and Gil, it's given that they will follow this girl that they knew was plotting something. She wouldn't go back without a reason, that's how they came to know her.

"Why are you asking such obvious answers? Of course, I want to see new herbs." Cassandra replied nonchalantly and returned to eating the steak on her plate.

"It's also fine to me, It's been a while since I saw the Levingstone Kingdom." Gil said as he was smiling while his grey eyes were focused on Evelyn.

"Let's go, Child." he continued and a bright smile appeared on Evelyn's face.
