All Chapters of The Perfect Traitor : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

To say something so bluntly and in front of everyone in the room was definitely not Ace’s brightest moment. Gwen knew that everyone was thinking it. The way they looked at her and the Queen during the entire meeting said it all. But she was sure that it would not have been something anyone would say out loud so that the current awkward situation would be avoided.Her fingers drummed against her side and she sent a harsh glare in Ace’s direction. Just because he was mad at her for whatever reason he was, did not mean that he could just drag her down like that. It was plain foul.“I- I do?” she feigned shock. “I guess you could say that since we’re both blond.”The General grumbles at her words. “The resemblance is a bit striking.”One of the higher-up soldiers who were next to the General stepped up. “Are you sure you have no relation to the Queen

Dick Holden. He was the man her mother loved and was betrayed by. Gwen obviously knew that he was just using her for some sort of personal gain and that in the end he just tossed her aside when he saw that he could get something better. He was a governor in Paria-Drae and a highly regarded one at that. Gwen had read countless newspaper articles about him and there was never anything truly outstanding about what he had done. He oversaw a couple of laws here and made sure certain things were implemented. Although he was highly regarded, there was nothing he did for him to be treated so well. So it was obvious how he got in that position. Gwen guessed he knew what would come out of him using his mother.It was perfectly normal for a noble and royal to have relations with each other and no one would have frowned upon the news of their marriage. He could have simply manipulated her feelings and then ended up becoming the King of the country. Although he would n

Gwen sat on her bed for a while looking at the book, she wanted to read it but she was so scared to see the thoughts of the governor. After all this time his feelings towards her mother could not have changed? Or was he just casually mentioning her as if he didn’t have anything to do with her disappearance. Could he regret what he did and wish he could change it? Maybe after he killed her was his awakening about his feelings towards her but it was too late to go back and do anything.If he had regretted doing what he did there was still nothing that he could do about it. It was not like he could rebel against the Queen and try to expose him. He would just be labeled as crazy and be put to death.Pushing the book aside, Gwen went over to the edge of her bed where she kept her bag of clothes and little things she took from Paria-Drae. One of the things was the letter her parents had sent to her when she was in the army. She had not rea

Gwen of course hesitated, she did not want to have to do that. Especially over someone she was not sure is a light sleeper or not. Gwen would have wanted to assume that since Ace was a boy, he would be a heavy sleeper, but she did not want to for the purpose of playing it safe. He was someone who lived in the military all of his life so he could have been trained to be a light sleeper in case of emergency.Sighing at her reality, she gently placed her right knee on the edge of the bed and pushed herself up, leaning her body over Ace and going towards the book. Thankfully the bed was narrow and so that helped her get close to the book. She was able to reach it, but unfortunately, the book was under his arm.Ace let out a soft huff under her and Gwen’s heart stopped. But after a couple of seconds of being still, she let out a breath and went back to analyzing her situation. Now was as good of a time as any to try and take him out. He w

The next morning was a little hard for Gwen to understand. She was the one who put herself in that position, but she was too tired to think it through. And now, she was in the same bed with Ace, both of them practically wrapped around the other completely covered by the blanket and somehow sharing the same pillow. It was a mystery how they ended up like that. She had fallen asleep next to him and now her legs were tangled with his and her head was resting in the crook of his neck. It was comfortable. It was warm. When Gwen woke up, she was shocked at first, but because she was still tired and because she was in such a nice position, she found that she was not in a rush to get out. Ace was sound asleep beside her and Gwen was sure that he would fling her off the bed when he woke up to them being like that. The sun was now coming up and as Gwen lifted her head to look outside the window a gush of cold wind blew in the room and she automati
