“Apparently, Leda told Penn to try and look out for Stanley then the idiot decided to accost Penn in town and beat him then when my daughter tried to step in, Stanley turned his fury on her.” Rodas explains as he watched Vallas pace around in anger.
“Unbelievable… so that was what the little brat was hiding.” Vallas was clearly angry but also he was amazed by Penn decision. Choosing to take the blame for someone who despised him and whom he hates just because he made the person’s mother a promise. That left him humbled. Penn was raised by good people to be able to do something which he himself would have never been able to do. “I am tempted to leave him there just because of his fool hardy behavior.”

Penn returned to the compound to see Rima waiting impatiently for her.“I have half a mind to order your disassociation from her.” Vallas said in the middle of his conversation with Penn as Penn frowned at him.“Why? What have we done?” Penn asked.“It isn’t as a result of what you have done but what you will do and have already started doing to her.” Vallas corrected.“Speak plainly Master, I have not hurt Rima in any way and I would never allow her to get hurt in my presence.”“Hurt is inevitable, especially for those who we care about.”“There is no possible way for me to hurt her.” Penn said after thinking about it as the carriage rolled to a stop. Hurt Rima who was her only friend would be a foolish thing to do and she knew this and she wouldn’t be able to hurt Rima in any way, she actually liked the girl and Rima represented a sense of normalcy to her.

Penn smiled as she looked at where Stanley and Rima were arguing like a pair of old married couples, they were perfect for each other but they would rather die than admit to that. Penn remembered when Stanley's attitude towards them changed, that was when he came back from the mill. The first thing he did was to hug Penn and thank her for saving his place in the compound and then he started to find ways to help Penn and to be around her, at first it infuriated Penn because Stanley was always getting close to catching her in her disguise. She still remember one time when Stanley had barged into her room while she was undressing, the hell she had raised as if she was being raped.“You maggot, stop dragging Penn's attention with me, he was my friend first while you were making his life miserable.” Rima stomped her foot in anger as Penn watched on in silence. While Stanley might have infuriated Penn before she started to make time for him, he still infuriates Rima who Pe

After Vallas words which Penn took seriously she made it clear to her two new friends that she was not interested in being friends with others and although Stanley at first dint believe her words and tried to introduce her to new people whom he thought would be better friends than Rima, Penn refused and that was when her loyalty shone brighter than ever. Rima was a girl and thus was unneeded in a men world but Rima was also Penn's first friend and if there was something Penn didn’t do, it was abandon her friends because better options came up.And now Penn was feeling a childish anger of maybe getting new friends and abandoning the two enemies who rather have a competition between themselves for something related to her than to help her.“You just go alone.” Rima said to Penn as Penn glared at her and Stanley.“I honestly cannot believe you two, it doesn’t make sense. You are both fighting to accompany me on a task the day I have to do the task and ther

Penn got home to see everywhere in chaos.“What is going on?” Penn grabbed one of the maids who was running around in a panic gait like a headless chicken.“Young Master.” She gulps. “Sire requires your urgent presence.” She rushed out as she started herding Penn towards the direction of Lord Vallas's study.“Hold on! What is going on? Why is master looking for me?” Penn dug her heels into the ground, refusing to move a step further if she was not answered.“I don’t know.” The maid wrings her hand in distress, her eyes darting around like she was thinking about how to turn herself into two so one of her can drag Penn to see Lord Vallas while the other will go about the urgent activities which she was doing before Penn stopped her.“Okay, you can go back to what you were doing.” Penn orders, eyeing the maid carefully like she was worried the maid would throw her over her shoulders to deliver her to Lord Vallas.&nbs

Penn controlled her coughs as she tried to shoot the prince glares from her watery eyes. “Wedding?”“Yes.” The prince responded simply. “Don’t tell me that you spend a lot of time alone with a lady and don’t expect to get married to her?” Chandler grinned at the fire which Penn's eyes spat out. He doesn’t remember the last time he had this fun with someone who was not bowing down and kissing his feet when the person is aware of his status. In fact Penn was still looking at him like the errant child he originally thought Chandler was. The prince fixed a concerned look on his face. “You cannot be with a lady of noble birth and not marry her.”“Your Majesty.” Master Rodas growled as another trainer held him back. He did not like what the prince was insinuating.Rima with her cheeks a fiery red, she clenched her fist in Penn arm to hold him back but she knew that he was going to retaliate.

“I am so happy that, that little brat is gone.” Vallas heaves a sigh of relief as Penn neck almost twisted off in her surprised as she whipped it around to look at Vallas.“I am sorry but I think my ears are going deaf, did you just say that you are happy the prince is gone?” Penn asked Vallas who smiled at her.“Yes, it is the best news I have gotten since I heard that he was on his way.”“But you just told him that you were sad to see him go and if he couldn’t extend his stay a little bit.” Penn reminds Vallas.“Really? I did, it must have been a long time ago.”“This happened just the past hour here.” Penn bits out as Vallas laughs.“I might have fibbed the truth a little bit to his face, what would you have had me do, tell him that I think he is a scum and not worthy of being under my shoe because of his parentage and lack of home training? I couldn’t tell him that if I wanted to keep my head on my neck.” Vallas stroked h

Apparently, a step closer means the same place as before. Penn frowned as she stormed out of Vallas study, it has been a week since she and Lord Vallas returned from their little trip, little but highly significant and yet nothing had happened, when she had gone to complain to Vallas, with his annoying smile _like the world was full of daisies and people were not dying_ smile and simply told her that she was not ready.What will it take for her to be ready? Penn asked herself.“Penn, the man of the hour.” Stanley greeted as Rima stopped in front of Penn blocking his escape.“Not now both of you, I am not in the mood.” She mumbled to them, trying to side step Rima but she still went to her front.“You have been acting weird since you returned and you need to talk to your friends.” Rima said.“And if I chose not to?” Penn asked as Stanley and Rima laughed.“He thinks that he has a choice.” Stanley said behind him.“I wo

“I hate coming to the capital.” Penn complains as Rima rolled her eyes beside her. They were seated in a carriage opposite Vallas who offered to take them to the capital to spend a day because he had something to do there. Stanley had begged off because he hated the capital and because Rima knew the reason, she allowed him to stay behind. Penn on the other hand was forced to come along with Rima who didn’t want to pass up the opportunity and wanted to hang out with her friend too. And since Penn life in the capital was not fully known to Rima, Penn couldn’t avoid going but she had been making her displeasure known right from the moment she was forced into the carriage with Rima who had been bouncing around in her seat with excitement.“And do you have to sound like a grumbling girl?” Vallas asked Penn who glared at him as if he had just given her the biggest insult ever and Rima took note of the look which Penn gave to Vallas.“You know, I have started to not

Penn tried to run but there was no way she could escape the grasp of twenty men, she was caught within a minute. “Let me go.” She struggled against their hold as she was dragged back to Cain who had not moved from his spot when she had tried to run, fully trusting in his men's capability in bringing her back. “My father will hear of this.” “And how will he, when the person who should tell him will be dead?” Cain said as Penn felt a chill in her spine at his words. Cain had just confirmed that he was going to kill her and there was nothing she could do about it at all. “My father will know that it is you.” Penn bravely said but her voice betrayed her when it came out shaky, displaying her fear for all present to see. Cain leans to her face. “He is going to need something called proof to be able to do anything. You see, unlike that incident of two years ago, this time I will be smarter so that no one can witness this happening. Let us go.” Cain said

Penn watched the carriages stop as soon as he came down from his own carriage with Rima still inside and wondered if Vallas had visitors which she was not warned about?She had just came back with Rima for a trip in town, for a few days they have been here with Vallas as Something had gotten the resistance leaders so worked up that they were requesting for their heirs to be close to them.Penn sighed, someone would think that since Penn was at home that means that she would at least have an idea about what was going on but when she had asked Vallas, he shrugged and informed her that he does not know anything about what was happening.And when she asked him why he had called her home, the crazy man just replied that he did not want his heir to be the only one remaining especially when they have drawn the others back.Penn admit that Vallas's heart was in the right place but most time she felt like she would strangle Vallas.

“Your majesty, I have the perfect idea for what you want to happen.” Cain said two days later in the king's study.The king stared at Cain in surprise, he had not seen Cain this excited since he decided to start punishing the resistance. “I am not sure that I will like this idea.” The king responded.Reflected on Cain's face was the confusion which Cain felt as he did not understand what the reaction of the king. He did not plan for the king to shut him down even before hearing what he had in his mind. “My King, You did not even listen to what I have to say.”“I know.” The king sighed as he dropped the reports he was perusing. “I just hope that it will not waste my time.”“Of course not your majesty sire, I will be very brief with my explanation.” Cain hurried out and when the King gave his nod of approval, Cain started. “You wanted the children o

The crowd was somber, most of the nobles who attended the burial of Denzel attended with the knowledge of why he died, some more than the others.*He angered the resistance so he was killed, His son was discovered as a member of the resistance so they shut him up, he was killed because his son was a traitor…*Those were few of the talks that were flying in the air at that time. The time were Denzel was being laid in the ground and that made the king teeth to grit in anger at the blatant disrespect shown to the noble who died and his living nobles who could not wait for them to be out of the hearing range of the young ones which Denzel left behind before running their mouth.The only persons who were observing the right curtsey was Vallas and his son Penn. The king watched as Vallas placed a comforting hand on Penn's arm and then led him off.“Father.” Chandler called to his father who turned around to con

Penn felt something akin to pity as she watched Denzel stumbling back as if him shifting away from Vallas would somehow make the news unreal and change the fact that Curtis was dead.“No, you are lying. Is this some sick joke you and him are playing to make me lose my cool?” Denzel demanded but Penn could see the pale pallor that Denzel skin seem to have taken.“Not everything is about you Denzel, Your son was a traitor, this is about his death which was caused by his actions and decisions not yours.” Vallas stated as Penn paused.“Of course, he was your son.” Penn realized.“Stop referring to him like he is no more.” Denzel snapped at Penn who shifted back. “Now enough of this game you are playing and tell me where my son is.”“He is dead Denzel.” Penn stated calmly, trying to add feelings into delivering the news. “He was a traitor

Cain had never felt any intense hate for anybody as much as he felt for this brat in front of him. Even what he felt for Vallas was like a tiny flame compare to the inferno he was feeling for this being called Penn.“Are you sure you want to go there?” Cain asked Penn not caring for the audience they were having which was the king and his family.“You brought this upon yourself and let me inform you, my father will hear about this.” Penn threatened.“Is it just me or this whole scene turning into something that is just wasting our time?” The queen asked the king who nodded.“Cain you know better than to bring your personal vendetta here.” The king said firmly as Cain looked around unsure of how the table turned so quickly.“But…” Cain tried to convince the king but Chandler's voice was the one to cut him short this time.“But no

“Did the Prince give you a blow to the head that I somehow did not see?” Stanley asked Penn who rolled her eyes.“I am serious, those who run will be the first to be captured and taken in for questioning. Dispose all your weapons here and let’s go trade the horses for a wagon then rent a night at the inn and after that, we go out and mingle with other in the crowd, maybe grab a wench or two per person and have fun. After all, the reason we are here is because Lord Vallas decided to visit our home and we need to release some steam right?”They looked surprised at the easy way which Penn solved the problem until Stanley clapped his arms together. “Alright, let us start, time currently is of the essence.” He started giving instructions to others about what they should do while Penn started undressing. “Penn is everything alright?” Stanley asked looking at Penn weirdly.“Of course, it woul

Curtis realized too late what the queen might have wanted, the woman replaced her husband with her son, and she would not have done that if she wanted to son to be alive. With that thought, Curtis lunged forward, hoping to sink the knife into the Prince's chest but the Prince disarmed him within a flash.“Thank you for the weapon. Needed it.” Chandler smiled at Curtis who backed away from the Prince in shock.“That is one of the most foolish you have ever done.” Penn growled at Curtis making her voice deeper so that the Prince will not realize that it was her and still she saw the way the Prince's body jerked at her voice like he was recognized who was talking. It was a good thing that Penn tied her head and covered half of her face just like the rest of the resistance.“Thank you for believing in my ability, it is nice when your enemies know what you are capable of.” Chandler grinned towards the direction of

“I think you need to start from the start.” The queen said with her chest pounding. The king could not die, not yet. She still needed to kill the crown prince and make Lance the crown Prince.This was all Cain fault, if he had killed the prince then she would not have felt anything, she would not have done anything other than to sit still and wait for this to happen but it cannot because she will be left with Nothing. The Crown Prince no longer listened to her anymore, not since he came back to realized how many people she had disposed of since his edict. He had refused to listen to her since then or even to be in the same room with her, claiming that the sight of her makes him sick and he was repulsed that she was his mother… that was what he said while he was in the king’s presence but the queen knew what Chandler was referring to.“The resistance are planning on attacking the king today and Curtis shared this
