Chapter 420: : Plan?

Chapter 420: : Plan?



I was busy reading a document in my office when someone suddenly knocks on my door. I look up and find Lilla standing on the doorway. She has a worried look in her face.

"Apologies for my interruption Dame Csille but a letter arrived just now and it is for you." She closed the door first before she show me the envelope with a letter inside. "However, there is no return address again. Do you want to read it?"

A letter without return address? His Majesty just invited me this morning so there is no way it is from his majesty again. If it's not from his majesty then there is only one person who can be the sender of this letter.

Mister Sewell!

What does he wants from me? Does he heard that his majesty invited me in the Palace this morning? So he send me a letter today to ask for an update?

Isn't he impatient? Only a few hours have passed after my conversation with his majesty yet he already sent me a letter? Is he making sure that I am doing what I have promised him?

I take the letter from Lilla's hand and read it contents. It is really from Mister Sewell and he said wants to talk to me now. He even mentioned that Allan is already waiting for me outside the Foundation.

"Dame Csille, where does this letter came from? Should we be concerned?"

I shake my head and smile reassuringly at Lilla. "No, everything is okay, Lilla. There is nothing you need to worry about. It's just a nonsense letter." I put the letter in my hidden pocket so Lilla won't have a chance to take a peak on it.

No one should know my connection to Mister Sewell. Especially the people I care the most. They shouldn't know it. It is for their own good too. I don't want to involve them in this mess.

My life is already in a mess. I don't want to put their lives in jeopardy too.

Lilla stares at me for a couple of seconds. It looks like she is making sure that I am telling the truth. She even squints her eyes as a sign that she doesn't believe what I am saying. "Dame Csille, are you sure there is nothing we should be worried about?"

I smile reassuringly at her. "There is nothing we should worry about. Don't you trust my words, Lilla? Or do you really think I am lying?"

I feel guilty that I was questioning her trust to me because I do know all I ever did was lie to her.

Lilla shakes her head. "No, Dame Csille. I always trust you. I just couldn't help but worry about you. You have received threats from other people before. I was worried it is one of those letters again."

I shake my head. "No, everything is under control. Thank you for worrying, Lilla. You should head back to what you are doing. I'm sure you have other things to do."

Lilla look at me hesitantly. She then ask me again if I am okay. I just smile reassuringly at her and convince her that everything is okay. After making sure that there is nothing she should worry about, she then excuse herself.

I look at the letter in my hand and heaves a sigh. Everything is okay? More like everything will not be okay.

I lean my body on my chair and smile sadly to myself. "Everything will comes to worst soon," I mumble to myself.

Instead of guiding me to the Pavilion, Allan show me the way to Mister Sewell's library.

I look at Allan with a frown. Although Mister Sewell have showed me his library before, it is the first time that we will have a conversation in the library.

"Allan, may I ask why are we talking in his library? Doesn't we always have conversation in his pavilion?"

Allan shakes his head. "Dame Csille, it's better if you're the one who ask Master about it. I'm sure he would answer your question." He then knocks on the door and announce my presence.

I still have questions I want to ask him but because he already announced my presence, I don't have a choice but to set it aside for now. I will just ask Mister Sewell about it.

Allan opens the door and gesture his hand inside. "Please come inside, Dame Csille. My Master is already waiting for you."

I smile at Allan as a thank you for guiding me here before I walk inside Mister Sewell's library. I immediately look around me.

If I only have other choice, I wouldn't have tell Mister Sewell those words. But lying to Mister

Sewell is futile so I don't have a choice but to tell him what really happened.

Mister Sewell raises his eyebrow. "And who are those people included in the new department?"

I wanted to keep everything to myself for now but I am not sure if he knows who are the people assigned in the new department.

I know he has eyes in the Palace but I am not sure if his spies knows what we have talked about inside the library. Since we are the only people inside, I am sure he doesn't know what happened inside the meeting room.

But is it safe to assume that he doesn't know that? What will happen if Mister Sewell knows

that I am lying at him?

"Dame Csille, I am asking you a question. Who are the assigned people to work in the new

department?"

I look at Mister Sewell and decided right there and then to keep something for myself. I shake

my head. "Mister Sewell, I don't know who are the other people. When I arrived there, I was the only person inside. So, I don't know who they are." I feel my hand starts to sweat after

saying those words.

I don't know if I have done the right thing but I was hoping Mister Sewell doesn't have any idea who are the people assigned in the new department.

Mister Sewell raises his eyebrow and stare intently at me. As if he is reading if me if what I am

saying is true or not. He then leans on his chair and continue staring at me. "Are you telling the truth, Dame Csille?"

I feel my body freezes for a moment. Does he knows that I am lying? Does he knows who are the people his majesty have assigned?

I look at Mister Sewell and shakes my head. "Mister Sewell do I have any reason to lie?"

He nods his head. "Fair enough. But let me remind you Dame Csille that I am only here to help you. If you will only lie to me then I think it's better if we stop your revenge plan. I don't want to do this if you don't fully trust me."

He knows! I am sure he knows! But if I admit that I lied I am sure he wouldn't like it. So, I don't have a choice but to continue lying.

I pretend to look hurt. "Mister Sewell, do you think I would agree to go against the Vrawyth Kingdom if I don't trust you? I am telling the truth. I don't know who are the people assigned in the new department."

I continue staring at Mister Sewell making sure he would see that I am not lying at all. He

then nods his head. "Then tell me. Does his majesty assigned a position for you in the new

department?"

I might hide for now who are the other people assigned in the new department. But I know I need to tell him the truth this time.

I look at Mister Sewell and smile reassuringly at him. "You don't have to worry anymore, Mister Sewell. I managed to have a position in the new department."

I see his eyes shines in happiness. "That's good. We can now start your plan."

I almost scoff when I heard what he said? My plan? Is it really my plan, Mister Sewell?
