Villainess Becomes The Knight

Chapter 120 - Blue Hair



Abigail pov contd.

Why was she so proficient in catching me red handed every time! Even when we were in the same team now, her habit of finding me never went away!

I took a deep breath as I came down and turned.

"Oh, Bella, when did you come back?" I asked , feigning surprise.

"Just when you were trying to climb the tree. What were you doing anyway?" asked Isabella, looking at me and then at the tree. It was clear that the tree was closer to the window of our private room.

"Aah, that! I have eaten a lot. So, I was feeling heavy.  Decided to do some exercise to feel better.\'\' I said with a straight face, and she frowned.

"You were trying to digest the food by climbing the tree?" she asked, astonished but I just needed it with all seriousness.

"I was feeling too heavy. As a knight I should always be agile and flexible. So, I was trying to check if I still had the capacity to climb the tree or fight the enemy. Or else I need to decrease my intake of food, \'\' I said, nodding my head.

She looked at me more intensely, but my expressions did not change at all. So, she looked back at Oliver who nodded supporting my story. Though she was still doubtful, she nodded too. Since she did not find any other valid reason for why I would try to climb the tree in my own tea house.

"Have you purchased everything you needed?" I asked, changing the topic and she nodded.

"We have spent a good amount buying gold and silver and enamel and stones. We have planned to make coronets this time." she replied with so much excitement, and i looked at Oliver.

Definitely i was the one who was making designs then why did i not know that we were going to make coronets!?

But when I looked at him, he just shrugged his shoulders as if the whole topic had nothing to do with him.

"So, shall we go back? It was already dark and I did not want to travel with so many jewels after dark." she added and I nodded.

Though I was not at all afraid of the incidents. As I have full confidence in the skills of our knights and myself.

We walked towards the carriage only to see the local carriage was still standing there. The man bowed to me as he looked at me. Darn!

"Do you know the man, sister?" asked Bella, frowning. Since we always go in the carriage with the emblem of silver sword on its flag. It is the symbol of our family.

"Ah, yes. His carriage broke nearby. And I asked Noah to help him. So, he is trying to show sincerity ``I replied as I hurriedly entered my carriage, making the man confused. But thank goodness he did not say anything further.

The carriage started when we both settled, while Oliver went to the staff carriage.

"So, are you satisfied with the deal?" I asked once the carriage started.

She nodded her head and then looked at me with embarrassment. 

"Abi, I apologize for being so rude and mean to you in the past! I even complain about you all the time. I just want to tell you that I do not mind if you are the one who will gain the dukedom in the future.`` I blinked at her confession.

Though our relationship had improved a lot, giving up as the heir of the dukedom was something I was not expecting, since I know my father still feels guilty towards her mother. 

Even after marriage, they have never shared a chamber. This made him more inclined towards their welfare. So, if her mother demanded Bella to be given a certain part of the estate, my father would have accepted it willingly.

After all, we have the biggest estate in the empire after the emperor. Being the heir would mean the most powerful person after the royal family. 

"Let the matter go for a while. Do you think we should create opportunities between your mother and my father?" I asked to change the topic completely.

She blinked as she looked at me with mouth agape.

"Haww! How can you discuss their private matters so brazenly?" her cheeks flushed as she looked out of the carriage.

"Oh, were you not the one who was trying to gain the favor of the crown prince? You even stayed there till late at night to get closer to him.`` I retorted and she shook her head.

"I do not have any interest in the crown prince. I was just trying to flare you. And the moment you left the palace I went to search for your father and stayed with him all the time." she replied, making me chuckle.

"You are such a dimwit. You were ready to suffer so much just to flare me!" I shook my head as I could not believe her reasoning.

"Ha! Said the girl who spent most of her time in her room as punishment, just to dye my hair.\'\' I looked at her dumbfounded as she commented on my dark past!

"Alright, I apologize for being insensitive and immature." I replied and she looked at me awkwardly.

"I apologize for being mean all the time too."

"But you have to agree that the idea of dying your hair was wonderful!" I pointed as I remembered how much hard work I had done just to make her hair blue, so that she would not go to the palace with father as he did not even offer me to go with him.

"Ha! I am sure I looked beautiful with those blue hair too." she raised her chin proudly and there was no doubt she had one hell of an innocent face that she would look good in every way. So I nodded and she chuckled.

"Then let me do the honor of dying your hair blue permanently so that you could look beautiful all your life.\'\' I replied with the same smirk.

"...."
