Chapter 187 - The First Pawn!

Abigail pov

Abigail pov contd.

"Let's make a pact, Abi. We both will try our best to get them married and then help William ascend the throne. I can give you all the help you need from the royal family." I was surprised to hear her request.

"Your highness, aren't you the biggest competitor of his highness in the battle of the throne?" I was surprised as she started making plans for William. "And don't you hate her for being a step brother?" I asked again as it was not hidden at all that both siblings do not like each other.

"Of course, I hate him, that is the reason I want him to be the emperor. So that he will suffer all his lifetime.`` I frowned at her words as she smirked and then shook her head.

"You do not need to think about that. You just have to help me by creating chances where they spend time together. I will inform father that they are so much in love and father will happily marry them off." i did not know why, i did not feel good as she continued to talk, as if she was asking me to give her something precious. I started to feel that stuffy feeling in my heart but I nodded.

Isn't that what I have wanted since the start!

"I know that you are smart enough to agree. Thank you." I nodded and stood up as there was nothing more to discuss when I noticed Leo looking at Josephine with an upset face. His gaze was so intense that I felt his emotions too. Was he upset that his mistress did not want to be the queen!

Or was he upset that he would not get the chance to rserve the queen, but will stay as the side of a princess forever. Feeling my gaze on him, he looked at me but his eyes were completely normal. He nodded and I returned it back and walked out of the room.

"What are you going to do?" I saw both Oliver and Isabella walking out of the door towards the exit.

"We are going to check our class time so that we can find common time to work together."  Oliver and Bella nodded.

"Alright." They left and I stood there alone. Since I am back here, I mostly know the time of classes and what will be taught. 

But one more thing that i know was! Who were the friends and enemies of Gerard. 

To weaken him I have to support his enemies and weaken his friends. With a smile I walked towards my first prey. Earl Asmund, the proud man who looked after the borders of the empire as his father was the chancellor.

I knew he would be busy in the sports ground with his love for rugby. With a bright smile I walked towards the sports ground. 

Here he was playing rugby with his friends on the horses. A few girls were sitting in the gazebo, looking at them admiringly.

My eyes turned cold at the way he was passing a smile to them.

I took him half an hour more to end his game and walk towards the gazebo. I checked my viel once again when he was close.

"My lord." he stopped in his tracks when I called him. He looked at me, raising a brow.

"I did not know that the academy allowed the use of veils. What are you hiding young lady?" he asked with curiosity and I chuckled.

"An ugly face that you would not be able to bear and vomit right here." he blinked while listening to me and then chuckled hard.

"Oh my, you sure are proud about being ugly too. Anyways, how can I help you, young lady?" he asked, bowing his head a bit.

"I am not here to ask for help. I am here to help you.'' I replied, making him frown.

"I am sure, I did not need any kind of help. That also from a queer stranger like you." he said and turned to leave. "It was not even nice meeting you, my lady." he added with a chuckle as he waved his hands in the air.

"Even when I have a way to get your father's respect back and teach a lesson to the one you hate?" I asked with the same calm voice when his steps halted again.

"This is not a way to joke, my lady. I do not have a good temper to begin with." sad the man with visible anger on his face.

"Do you think I have time to joke? But if you are bored or not interested then it is a different thing" i replied shrugging my shoulders and walked away. There are many men anyway to talk about serious things.

"Hey, you! Wait! I am not done with the conversation." he called but i ignored him.

He followed me with hurried footsteps but knowingly too complex shortcuts who only a few in the academy knew!

Walking to a dumping area where mostly only labor is found for cleaning I stopped in a dark area. He covered his nose with his hands.

"Why are we here?" his face was turning nauseous and I rolled my eyes.

"If you are planning to be bigger, stop being so pathetic. Now tell me what do you want to do with your enemy?" I asked and he narrowed his eyes.

"Why would I tell you? What if this is some kind of trap or a joke where you are trying to know my weakness to make fun of me in the party later!" he said with a sharp voice and I nodded.

"At least you're not that much of a fool!" I nodded my head with satisfaction.

"Hey, are you looking down on me?" he asked as he formed his fist ready to punch me.

"Gerard!" his eyes widened as I took the name in a cold voice.

"He is your enemy. Right? What if I have a way to hurt him?" 

"....."
