All Chapters of The Perfect Traitor : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

When the group got to the river, it was surrounded by Paria-Drae soldiers. Gwen’s group had left in the evening and arrived at the river in the night. They moved as swiftly and as quietly as possible. The group had slowed a bit when they got to the destroyed part of the forest. Everything was blown to bits and what was left was just dirt and the occasional limb of a soldier.It was sad to see because Gwen really loved the forest. It was peaceful and beautiful. It really made Estril stand out from the other countries. And now, a big chunk of the forest was taken out. While setting up the explosives, the area around the river was obviously avoided. So if someone were to look from above, they would see just a random patch of green at the border of Estril, surrounded by desolate land.It was wide enough for the Estrillian soldiers and trees to hide behind. It would have been pretty weird if they were to try and sneak up on the enemy, but

The voices around Gwen woke her up. Her head felt like it was full of cotton and her body felt like she was hit with a barrel. That definitely was not empty. Gwen remembered being shot and also being in a lot of pain. She leaned against a tree and then everything after that was just darkness. She must have lost consciousness due to the pain or blood loss. There were multiple people in the area but she didn’t know who they were and her brain could not put the words together properly enough for her to understand what they were saying. She would have called out, but the possibility of her being in the hands of the enemy was high. She was shot in enemy territory and was left alive by them, so they could have also captured her. Gwen wanted to open her eyes to see who was around her, but her eyes remained closed. Even willing them to open just a bit was a feat. And eventually, she lost consciousness again. The second time Gwe

Once again, Gwen was sitting on the couch surrounded. They were not saying anything and were just eyeing her down. As if they would get their questions answered that way. Jonah has this scowl on his face and he studied her, she wished that she could tell what was going on in their minds but she was just lost. It reminded her of the situation back at the camp, everyone looked at her weirdly, kept their distance from her and she even spotted people whispering about her behind her back. They had not figured out that she was from Paria-Drae because there was no way that they could. And the General would not have kept his mouth shut about it and interrogated her until her head fell off. So what was it? There was one thing she was sure for certain, it had something to do with Ace. When she was out of her room one day she caught her name being thrown around in a group of people. Along with Ace’s name. She did not hear exactly what they were say

“This is a step forward in my plan. The Queen is obviously not going to Estril to make peace, we all know that. And I want to be there to help protect the royal family and to make sure that she does not get what she wants. If I were to get my personal feelings involved then it would ruin the entire thing.” Gwen said.Her mother shook her head. “I just have a bad feeling about this.”“Of course, you have a bad feeling about it, this is the Queen we’re talking about. She is definitely up to something and so that’s why I need to go. I’m just a lowly soldier to her, she won’t pay attention to me.”“Gwen.” her father stood up. “Being anywhere near her is not a good idea. She could see you and have suspicions.”“People look alike, it’s nothing strange. She will see me, and then move on. I’m going to Estril. I&rs

The strange looks from the soldiers never stopped and Gwen had momentarily forgotten about them, but then when she approached the group, they glanced at her sideways, and then quietly shuffled away. No one seemed to want to tell her what the problem was. Maybe if she had remembered she could have asked Gloria or Doctor Reeves, they would have probably told her the truth if they knew.Because the soldiers moved away, Gwen stepped closer to watch what Ace was doing. She would have stepped in and stopped him but she didn’t want to interact with him. His immaturity was amazing and so Gwen decided it would be better if she didn’t.Some of the guards got the memo that they were not going to win and they backed off, causing Ace to run out of victims quickly. When the line stopped coming he looked around confused stretching his shoulder and then laughing.“Is that it? Is that all I get? Wow, no wonder we were cal
