2021-12-01 21:21:09Life continued as normal, or as normal as Gwen could get it. The next day, her morning was filled with glares and whispers. The glares from Ace and the General and the glances from everyone who didn’t interact with her. It seemed like their fight caused quite the stir within the camp. Gwen hoped that it would be brushed off as just two soldiers who were stressed because of the current situation and so emotions bubbled up which resulted in a fight. But she knew that most of them knew the real reason they fought, and with the fact that gossip exists, she was sure the entire camp would figure it out.
Gwen just hoped that people would not judge her for throwing a rightful punch at Ace’s face. It seemed that everyone knew what an insufferable piece of shit he was and so they should agree with her on the down-low. The only person openly opposing her decision was the General and he didn’t miss the opportunity to bring it up in front of everyone at the morning as

The thought of an attack was the first thing that popped into her head when she rushed outside with the others. Gwen could feel her heartbeat and could hear her blood rushing through her veins. For those few minutes of uncertainty, the reality of war became very prominent as the soldiers all waited to see what would happen next. The alarms did not stop sounding and that was the only thing telling everyone that something was wrong.Both males and females gathered in front of the barracks, and soon enough the General made an appearance. It seemed like even he was getting rest and Gwen could not help but sniffle when she saw him dressed in casual clothes. Upon seeing him, the soldiers saluted him and stood up in lines in front of him. Gwen was still out of it but followed the crowd so that she did not look like a fool. She was sure that her sleepiness was the least important thing at that moment. With the chance of an enemy attack, it seemed like the other so

The first day of patrolling was calm and there was nothing out of the ordinary. But on the second day, things decided to take a turn and become interesting despite Gwen’s wishes that they did not. She would have preferred if she and the others in her group just got to wander around the forest. Aside from the fact that she was woken up at an ungodly hour and was tired most of the time, she did enjoy walking in the forest for the most part. When she and her group had been patrolling the area for about an hour. Gwen heard the rusting of some leaves in the distance. She wanted to pass it off as an animal but knew better to be safe than sorry. The soldiers around them were mostly quiet and since they moved slowly, their footsteps were barely heard. Gwen and the people in her group slowed down and listened. They waited for something to happen and unexpectedly, they saw movement. Gwen’s heart jumped and she bit on her lip to keep herself calm.

It didn’t take long until the entire camp was awake. It was near the time when people began to wake anyway. Her partner, which she just found out was called Montana, and she was taken back to the camp and to the General. Gwen was still too shocked to speak and so she left it to Montana to say everything that needed to be said. “We spotted the guard and decided to split up and approach him from different angles, but as we were approaching them, Chester held me back because she suspected that the guard knew that we were trying to capture him. So we ended up behind the rest of the group and so we were not affected too much by the blast.” Everyone looked at Gwen after he finished but she was not paying attention to any of them and instead had her gaze locked on the forest. Just ten minutes ago, everything was going fine but it all went wrong so quickly. “Chester. Why did you think that?” the General asked.

Gwen had stayed out in the cold until morning. And when it was time for everyone to wake up, she had to try and hide the fact that she was crying for hours on end. Her eyes were swollen and red and her skin was dry. Her only option was to hide out by Doctor Reeves, with some ice packs on her eyes until she was comfortable enough to face everyone. Since she did that, she also experienced a round of comforting words from him and Gloria.Even though she had stayed up for hours, she did not feel tired at all and so after the deswelling of her eyes, she went to breakfast like normal and then integrated with the rest of the soldiers. She still got an unnecessary amount of stares and Gwen just ignored them to the best of her ability. Hoping that they had nothing bad behind those stares.When breakfast was over, it was then time for the morning assembly. It was the first time that she was happy for that. Something familiar to get her mind off of t

Hiding in the trees was smart, not only did it hide them from the enemy, but it also solidified Gwen’s thoughts of the army using their knowledge of their surroundings to make up for the fact that they did not have as many people as Paria-Drae. The soldiers of Estril were not going to seek out the ones on Paria-Drae, it was the other way around. And so, with them looking for a fight, they would have to come into Estril’s domain in order to try and achieve what they wanted.The guards gave them a simple tour of the place. Everything basically looked the same and had the same function. There would be few people per tent and they would watch through the trees. Since it was getting darker, they would rely more on hearing than sight. Gwen was not too bothered by that. If she got to hide up in a cool tent and just listen to the sounds around her, then it was basically the same as relaxing.“Since it is twelve of you guys, you c

Since the river was what the Queen was after, it only made sense that a lot of the soldiers involved were there, protecting it. Gwen had not seen it but she could imagine that it was practically lined with people. To think, the Queen of a country was so embarrassingly money-hungry that she was willing to take over an entire country just to get what she wanted. It would make more sense if it was a government official or a noble, but the ruler of the country. It was surprising how thick her face was. And since Paria-Drae assumes that Estril has such a small army that all their guards must be trying to protect the river, they think that they can just pass the border and basically walk in. It seems like some people actually believed the Queen when she said that the people of Estril were backward. Because no one would be dumb enough to do something like that. For the following few days, Gwen witnessed multiple people from Paria-Drae passing t

‘Why me?’That was the statement that was going through Gwen’s head as she ran through the forest with Ace, the border guards hot on their tails. It always seemed like conflict always ensued where she was. She wondered if it was some sort of punishment for doing something wrong. She had left her parents without saying anything and did sort of get into the country illegally. But it was all for a good cause. So shouldn’t it cancel out?Maybe it was because shared the blood of the Queen and her bad energy was a part of her somehow. But if that were the case then her mother should also be having troubles left and right. The only problem her mother has besides her and the existence of her sister is the fish she has trouble scaling.“Let’s split up so that they have to as well,” Gwen said to Ace.“No, it would be better if we stayed together so that if things get t

Like Ace said, they had eventually come up to some hills. The area was more open, with trees being sparsely scattered over the land. Gwen was actually able to see the sky and stars, which was a greatly appreciated change from running through the forest for the past hour. They had managed to lose the guards at some point but it was still too risky going back, especially because it was dark.To say that her lungs were burning her was an understatement. Never in her life was she required to run for that long and that fast. There were times when she would slow down and let Ace pull her, but for the most part, she ran on her own. The fear of the guards catching up to her was what kept her going. Gwen was also sure that her muscles had probably all been burned off by the lactic acid in her limbs.She and Ace caught their breath on the other side of a hill, making sure to still stay vigilant even when they are trying to stay alive. She would be m

Time passes and she has not seen many of her friends in a while. She had not even seen Ace and realized how much she missed him. And so, Gwen works overtime and takes a day off so that she can go to Estril. She goes in secret and goes to Fort Brimburg. Because Para-Drae was not a threat anymore, many of the soldiers came back and many joined the army. She was sure that they got an earful from the General for that. Gwen still had her training clothes and so she integrates herself into the base as if she were always there but of course she is a Queen and is made out pretty quickly.She is called out from the morning line up and the General questions why she is there. He also seemed to not care that she was a Queen and treated her the same. Since Ace was usually at the front of the group she could see that he was happy to see her.Gwen tells him that she is there to train and she and the General go back and forth but eventually he lets her stay. Everyone does not really know how to treat

At one point, Ace visits her and Gwen had not forgotten about their last encounter but she tries to ignore it and move on but Ace does not feel that way. She can tell that he acting differently around her and Gwen is not sure how to act. She gives him a tour of the castle but they get lost because Gwen is still not completely familiar with it. Ace takes the chance and tells her how he feels again. This time, he kisses her and she lets him. Gwen knows she feels something too but does not say anything back to him. He says that he is more than happy to wait for her response.The day of the coronation comes and Gwen is definitely not ready for it. This is the biggest thing that is going to happen in her life and she is not sure if she is ready. Her parents are there for her the entire time and help until the ceremony. Gwen invited the leaders of Estril, Naudis, Martaes, and Schneir. She invited all of the people she knew from Naudis, Estril, and Paria-Drae. Gwen had to say that it was the

It had been a couple of months since everything unfolded. Meredith had been in prison ever since and had no chance of getting out in her lifetime. Her mother had made a public appearance a while ago and gave a heartfelt speech about the past twenty years and how it was so drastic from everything she knew but grew to appreciate simpler things because of it. And because of that, Gwen realized that it was her mother's way of telling the people that she was not going to be the Queen. And if that was the case, then it all fell on Gwen.Even though she threatened the Queen and told her that she would take the throne and because people want her to, did not mean that Gwen actually wanted it. She expected her mother to be the Queen the people all loved and wanted. But her mother was getting older and just wanted to live a simple life with the man she loved. She did not want to suddenly be thrust into a life she gave up on for so many years and it would also be unfair to her stepfather.And so,

Gwen is going to make it look like she was the person who kidnapped the Queen and that no one else was involved. If there are other people involved then she would not confess. So she is taken to a run-down building in the middle of nowhere and officers and soldiers are hiding all over the place. Once she wakes up, she and her mother confront the Queen, Gwen acts like she is going to kill her just to make it believable. She gives her mother some time to talk to her and the Queen acts hateful and tells her that she should be dead and that even if they kill her, no one is going to believe them and that the people will not accept her.Elizabeth asks Meredith if she also killed her parents so that she could get the Queen. They should have lived another ten years before the throne could go to her. The Queen does not say anything about that but says that they died because it was their time and it helped her out. Gwen intervenes and says that she had enough time to talk and that she should tr

When it came to important matters that had anything to do with the royal family or money, the royal family would address it themselves. If it was anything else they would have people do it for them. And seeing as it is as big as getting arrested, she would definitely make a public appearance. And Gwen would use that.With Mr. Rickeys in Naudis, it was just her and Ace. They were their own support and even had weapons from the base as extra protection.“What exactly are you planning to do? Storm the castle and catch the Queen by surprise and blow off her head? Ace asked her one day when they were just waiting around for something. Anything to happen. “The number of times I have imagined doing that would surprise you. But no, I don’t think that would work. To be honest, I’m not sure what will, but I’m using this time to think up a plan.”“You should not have gone to the Queen in the first place.”Gwen gave him a pointed look. “You think I don’t know that. It was dumb and deep down I kn

There was nothing more nerve-wracking than standing at the side of the road, waiting to see any sigs of her parents. They could have walked past them, or they could have gotten caught. But the General took them to the closest place that he expected Ace to exit from. But once she saw them coming out of the forest a little way down the road from them, her heart finally started to beat again. And without a moment’s delay, they were taken to the military base. “Since we know that the Queen is a potential threat to the lives of your parents. I will have half of the men from the castle come here to protect them. Fort Brimberg does not have as many people as it used to and so we’ll need to stretch our resources thin for now.” the General told her. “Thank you,” Gwen looked back at her parents who were talking with the Captain. Ace was s

Once Gwen was in Estril, she went straight to the castle. She was sure that since she was gone for so long, it was definitely making people worry. And since the Captain knew that it was only Gwen that was going, he would wonder if Ace went with her. Since it was a huge possibility that he was with her, she hoped that they knew that he was fine.Quickly, she greeted the guards at the front of the castle and when they let her through, she basically flew towards the castle. She received a lot of weird looks but that was the least of her concerns. She needed to find the Captain, the General, anyone.Almost crashing into some soldiers as she raced around a corner she held one of them demanding to know where the Captain was.“The last I saw he was by the throne r

If the Queen found out information about Gwen then they would think that she lived in Naudis, which meant that Mr. Rickeys’ children were in danger, so she would have to go warn him first to get to them.After she ran off, Puckett followed her without asking any questions or making any comments. In a serious situation, Puckett was not useless and could be helpful when it counted so she didn’t disagree with him following her. This was bigger than both of their problems so Gwen pushed any anger for him out of the way, focusing on what was really important.They got to Paria-Drae in record time and even faster than how they were the day before. Gwen was not sure how fast the Queen could move but she definitely did not escape the castle to walk on foot anywhere. Which meant that she had a headstart.Once they were back in Paria-Drae, Gwen sent Ace to go check on her parents while she went to find Mr. Ric
The Perfect Traitor Chapter 83
Gwen was then forced to explain everything that happened in detail to her parents. She'd never felt so small in her life. The look the both of them were giving her while she told the story made her regret telling them. She should have just told Mr. Rickeys, made him keep an eye on them, and then ran back to Estril where she would have been safe.And what made the experience even worse was that Ace was right behind her. He was just standing in the corner looking out of place as he watched Gwen get scolded by her parents. He had even tried to speak up for her but she shut that down quickly."I told you not to speak. Shut it or go back outside." she turned swiftly, snapping at him.Puckett closed his mouth and looked away."Wait, what exactly is your relationship with this young man?" her father asked."He's a parasite," Gwen said dismissively. "Now, if we're
