Chapter 663 The Prince And The Serpent

Chapter 663 The Prince And The Serpent

"WAWAWAWAWAWAWA!" The girl cried, "Princess?!"

"Sorry for the interruption," Isdis waved her hand as she left the garderobe immediately with Aella.

"Hey! Why is the entrance in a garderobe?"

"Closer to the sewers, and this is one of the deepest places," Isdis replied as they walked down the hallway, quickly reaching another door. "We're there," She opened the door, and they walked into a massive room with a stage.

"I'm the wielder of the great blade!" A woman shouted, pointing her sword at another woman who turned to run away. And then another cut their way with a shield.

"Cut it! Get past me first! Wielder of the demon blade!"

Eris stared at the woman with a disappointed chuckle, "Is this a theatrical performance? Their acting is so bad,"

The girls stopped acting immediately and looked back, gasping as they Isdis standing there.

"I know it might look sad for assassins," Isdis walked toward one of the women. She looked like a normal knight, nothing special. With one hand, she rubbed her face and revealed a totally different person.

The woman had a different facial structure and skin tone. And she was even a half-elf and not a human. "Wait! What?" Aella gasped.

The women lined up and bowed, "Princess Isdis, welcome to our den," They looked at the door, "How did you get in here?"

"There is a secret entrance at the last garderobe," Isdis replied, "But that doesn't matter now,"

"Wait?! A secret entrance, and you didn't tell us?"

"It's supposed to be a secret," Isdis sighed, "But, we need a disguise good enough that brother won't recognize me,"

"We can do that," One of the women replied with a smile, "But, where is sir Arad?"

"He isn't here," Aella replied, "You know him?"

"Of course, we saw him at the wedding, and he came here once to look at our base and quickly left," She looked down with a sad face.

"He was disappointed the first time he came here. He expected an assassin den and found them to be a bunch of actors," Isdis shook her head, "I did warn him though,"

"We're working on our skills," Another woman gasped, "So, won't we see Arad again?"

"Why are you focusing on Arad?" Aella stared at them.

"Well," One of the women giggled, holding her face with a blush, "He's a sight to behold, isn't he," New novel chapters are published on

"Stay away from our husband," Aella stared at them. "Get his attention, and he's punch across the continent,"

The woman stopped wiggling for a moment, "That would be a problem," she then kept wiggling with a giggle, "He can strangle me though. With those thick arms!"

Thud! Isdis grabbed the woman by the head, "The disguise, now."

"AH! Okay!" She gasped, and Isdis let her go, "For real," She walked back and found a chair to sit on, inviting Aella to sit at her side.

"They'll get their clothes and makeup ready. We'll move after we make sure no one can recognize us. You know how to keep your magic down, right?" Isdis stared at Aella, and she got a confident nod.

"Of course, I can," Aella turned her magic output to almost zero, looking like a magicless elf girl.

"Elves have some magic at least. Raise the output a bit to be normal," Isdis replied.

Isdis and Aella walked past the maid, "See you later," They went into the main building and started heading toward Charlie's quarter.

On their way, they saw Gin menacingly staring at them from the end of the hallway. Aella froze, and that silver dragon noticed them.

With a sigh, Gin turned and left, going directly outside the castle.

"Didn't she notice us?" Aella whispered to Isdis.

"She did. This disguise won't fool the eyes of dragons." She scratched her head, "But I'm sure she's misunderstanding the situation."

"Misunderstood what?" Aella asked.

"She probably thinks I'm here to kill brother Charlie for the crown. She and Kin won't interfere in the crown struggle, and that's why she left the building." Isdis sighed.

"We can solve that misunderstanding later. For now, let's hurry and see what happened with that woman and Charlie," Aella looked forward, "His quarter's entrance is over there, right?"

"At the end of the hallway, yes." They walked and reached the quarter's door. Isdis put her ear to the door and listened, "It's clear, let's enter." She opened the door, and they snuck inside.

"We're a new addition to Charlie's maids now. Royal maids barely contact maids from the other royal members as they could leak secrets." Isdis warned Aella.

"I already guessed that," Aella smiled, and they luckily reached Charlie's room without meeting any maids. Strangely, the place seemed awfully quiet and empty.

"Not a single person on the way here," Aella listened, "No, the enter quarter is empty for us, Charlie, and that woman inside."

"That's strange. This place should have at least thirty maids running around."

"Charlie..." They heard a voice from inside the room, and they started listening, with Isdis staring through the keyhole.

"You scared me. What got you outside in that snow? What if you died of cold," Charlie growled, sitting on a chair.

"I'm fine. I'm telling you it was just an accident." The woman stood from the bed, approaching Charlie who sat on his chair, reading some documents.

"What are you reading?" She asked with a smile.

"Demands from some investors and farmers, want to look?" He smiled.

"What about what I talked to you about before?" She sat on the chair beside him.

"That merchant Roberta? I'm sure her mother tried to kill sister Isdis," He stared at the woman, "Even if she's skilled, it'll be hard to convince the nobles to give her a solid spot in the trade,"

"But you can do it? Can't you?" She looked at him, "You saw the jewelry she can provide. Those would be a hit among the nobles. If you managed to get her on your side, you can even get funds to take the crown, can't you?"

"You might be right," Charlie sighed, putting the papers away.

"Then? You'll call her for the spot?" The woman smiled.

"She can help me get the crown," He looked away, "Brother Thomas would likely take it. If not, it's sister Isdis. I'm not going to be the king,"

"Don't lose hope. You're talented. I know you'll make a great king." She tapped his shoulder. "Don't worry about me. Fight for the throne. Take opportunities like this and grow your power,"

"I see," Charlie mumbled.

"You'll give her the spot?"

Charlie slowly turned his head toward her, glaring at her face with a stern face.

"I refuse! You devil-infested bitch!"
