Chapter 216 - To Meet with Potential Allies (2/2)

'Then I will be going mama.' I stood up from my chair. 'I will be back before dark. I will visit you again later.'

'Be careful Alicia.' Mother's voice was full of concern. 'I don't want you to be in danger.'

'Don't worry mama, I will be careful.' I kiss the top of her hair and walked out of the room.

As usual, my retainers were waiting for me outside. Once they saw me, they stood straight and bowed. I walked pass them and they followed behind.

'Is everything according to plan?' I asked Jack telepathically.

'Yes princess, all is properly arranged.' Jack replied. 'Princess Satiana is waiting for you in the dining hall for breakfast. And after that we will be escorting you to Duke Matias' estate.'

I sighed internally. I will be lying if I say that I am not nervous. Duke Matias is a middle aged man that has experienced many things, while I am only a seventeen year old princess from a neighboring country.

'Will he be willing to hear my words?' I thought to myself. 'Will he take all that I say seriously? Won't he see me as just a little girl and won't believe any of what I will say?'

These are my worries. It is true that I am just an inexperienced teenage girl and also a foreigner in his eyes. I was thankful that Duke Matias gave me the opportunity to meet him. I just hope that I can move him with my words.

'Don't worry princess. I know you can do it.' Jack said. I didn't realize that our thoughts are still linked. 'You have that kind of charm that makes people trust and follow you. Believe me princess, I have experienced that first hand.' He reassured me.

I smiled lightly. I remembered the day I first met Jack in the forest. He was a bandit that was about to rob us but I was able to turn that around and gain him as an ally. I was really thankful for that day Jack and I met. He really has been a huge help here in Jennovia.

I also looked at my left side where William was walking just a few steps behind me. I was happy that he was here with me. I don't know if I could move forward this far by myself.

Feeling my gaze on him, William looked at me and smiled sweetly. I also returned him a sweet smile.

'By the end of this week, we will be leaving this place.' I thought. 'I plan to leave here safely with all us intact.'
