All Chapters of The Perfect Traitor : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Flustered, the two pulled away. Gwen wiped her mouth and quickly straightened her clothes as she sat next to Ace. Just a few meters away from them were their two kids, Ella and Holland. They were twins only born a couple of hours apart. Ella was the older sibling and seeing how she acted as a four-year-old, she was sure to tease her brother about it a lot when they got older.They both ran towards them and Gwen always stiffened when they ran, fearing they would trip. Behind them was their group of nannies who were looking rather sheepish and avoiding their gazes. They did allow the children to ruin a perfectly good moment but Gwen quickly got over it, there was plenty of time for that in the future."Mommy!" Ella ran and basically jumped on her lap. Gwen braced for the impact and then before she could even recover Ella was already wriggling in her lap and trying to stand up on it, using her hair as a way to pull herself up.

There was a look of pain on her face. They had had this conversation a million times before but Gwen never understood her view enough to back down. "And what do you plan to do Gwen? What is your master plan in taking the Queen?""I will join the army. Stop her from winning over Estril and then remove her from the throne."Her mother gave her an incredulous look. "That does not make sense Gwendolynn, you will be killed if you are found as a traitor in the army. Think this through."Gwen nodded. "I know, and that's why I'm planning to join the Estrillian army."There was silence. And then her mother chuckled a bit."That's ridiculous. You won't be able to cross the border let

Gwen sat on her bed looking out of her window. It was around midnight and she had an oil lamp burning on her nightstand. She was stuck in a problem. The problem was preventing her from doing what she needed to do. And the problem had to do with her mother. If she were to suddenly leave in the middle of the night then it would be problematic and would cause her mother great pain. But if she were to tell her mother that she was planning to leave then she would be prevented from going.Gwen did not want anything to get in her way and she would be locked in the house if she told her mother. But if she didn't tell her then it would cause her mother to be upset.She sighed as she looked out of the window. Gwen got up and tapped her fingers against the cool glass as she looked at all the lights. She could see people walking down on the street.

When Gwen woke up there were several people looking at her. It took her several seconds to process what was going on but when she did she shot up from her position. There were a couple of seconds of confusion before her thoughts were in order. She had left Paria-Drae and was now in Naudis in some stranger's house.There were four people looking at her. The woman she saw earlier. Two men, who looked to be in their thirties as well, and a woman who looked to be in her twenties.Gwen rubbed her face in embarrassment and offered them a small smile. "Sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep here."She gathered up her things which got messy while she slept and made sure everything was as it should be. The four didn't say anything and just kept looking at her. Gwen felt even more shame than before

Once again Gwen was at the border of Naudis. There was almost no one there. She stood up in line for at most five minutes before she got to the front. To say she was nervous was an understatement. She did not hear anything about people being banned from going to Estril and hoped that they would not question her too much.Before she got to the border, she had to go and exchange most of her money for Estrillian money. Hoping that it would not be wasted. The money for Estril, Paria-Drae, and Naudis was not that far off when it came to conversions. It made no sense for the values to be different when they were so close together and had trade between each other. Gwen was sure the trade would be affected because of everything going on now but there hasn't been anything said yet.Because the border was so close to Boreon it did not take her too long to get there by bus. The sky was still dark and the air was chilly. She had some food from Sasha tucked away in her bag and she
