Villainess Becomes The Knight

Chapter 105 - Meeting Him Again



Abigail pov

I was wondering why.. Why he was assured that i would be able to convince Josephine to do my bidding? As far as i had noticed, she took me as a plaything, she had never talked to me as if i was an equal person. Then how did he even deduce that she likes me. 

"I did not hear your reply, lady Abigail." he looked at me as if he was looking into my soul.

"I will be honored to serve the royal palace in every way, your majesty. But I did not understand how I was supposed to do that. As you said, her royal highness did not leave her chamber then how am i supposed to meet her and convince her. It is not possible to meet at once, your majesty, ``I tried to explain. I already had training, a clothing business, and a jewelry business. And being knight of William in my plate. My plate was not only foolish but overwhelming. Yet they expect me to do more..!!

"Hmm, that is not a big issue. Since you are going to take the oath of being the knight after three days you can just serve the royal palace. We will provide you the best quarter for knights and a fellow mate too. You can spend time with Josephine every morning to afternoon. My son did not wake up before afternoon anyway. Then later you can serve him, since he was the one who wanted to appoint you. There would not be any problem.\'\' He said as if he was a father who had brought a new toy and was now deciding how much time a child would play with it and then pass it to her.

My eyes fell on the cup in his hands and I really wanted to check if there was any drug miss in it so that he could not see me as a human but a toy!!

"But your majesty..i did not think that her royal highness would like my company. I am sure there is some confusion here." I tried my best to explain to him calmly but the man was not ready to listen at all.

"There is no confusion here, Lady Abigail. The chef of the royal palace is best at making the steak. Do try it and so will the chocolate cake. Hope you enjoy your meal." With that the man wiped his face elegantly and then stood up and left without even sparing a single glance to me again.

I looked at the yummy meal that was still waiting for me. If I was going to spend my whole day with the tigress, it was better to eat a lot and collect all the energy for that. So, rather than flipping the table as I had planned in my mind, I started eating the delicious meal.

The knights were thinking that I would leave since the invitation had already ended when his majesty left. They were surprised to see me eating alone there. I chuckled as I looked at the man and then asked, "do you want to share some meal too, sir.." he shook his head as he looked in the other direction.

After feeling full, I stood up and walked towards my fathers office. Though the news had nothing wrong, I was sure that he must be worried too much.

  When I walked to the office, I should have knocked but I just entered knowing that my father would not mind. But I was surprised when instead of him being there, Gerard was alone. My steps halted and the smile on my face turned stiff when my eyes fell on him.

Hearing my footsteps he turned to look at me top.

"So, you did not knock the door except not replying to. Huh?" he asked as he looked at me with amusement.

I gritted my teeth when I saw the smile on his face. I just wanted to punch and break all his teeth to wipe that smile from his face. That smile made me remember my love for him and his betrayal!

"Why? I thought that you have learnt to give a reply after we meet at the tea party. Or are you being arrogant again since you are appointed as knight at this young age. You must be the youngest knight in the whole empire." Even when he was praising me, I felt nothing but insults in his every word. His voice though the softest and sweetest one i have ever heard, i could still feel the poison in it.

"I apologise, my lord. I was not expecting you here. I thought my father is waiting for me here.\'\' I replied, finally taking a hold on my emotions. Last time when I met him at the tea party, I was mentally prepared to see him, but this time it was rather sudden that I was having a hard time controlling my emotions.

He nodded his head listening to my apology.

"Since a beautiful lady like you is asking for an apology, how can I deny it? Your father had been called by his majesty. So he went there when we were talking about you only. He will be back soon. Why don\'t you sit and wait for him.\'\' He offered me the chair beside him.

I nodded and moved my legs but as if they were frozen there, they did not have the capacity to move at all. I cursed my body, who still has work, instinctively when I looked at him. It took me all my strength to move and sit there. I gave him a smile that came more forcefully than I had thought.

"What happened, lady Abigail.. You look worried. Are you here to meet prince William?" he asked as if he was casually trying to start a conversation but i could see he was trying to probe further. 

I shook my head and finished the topic.

"Are you waiting for my father here, lord Gerard?"
