150 Chapter 150. A day before journey - 1 (1/2)

All she needed now, was a maid, who would spread the latest 'news' to all the people and maybe eventually to the traitors also. Aeinshia was almlst sure, that the perpetrators were using these maids to extract as much information they need of the Palace.

She was looking for a bait, who would be willing to carry her words around the Palace. Unfortunately, when you are finding something, magically they won't be there for you. While searching for some maid, Aeinshia began to think who are the most gossiping maids of the princesses quarters.

During her search for a gossipy maid, she came across some voices. Aeinshia frowned as the voices were hushed and she was highly suspicious now.

Aeinshia moved silently to the hushed voices and saw two maids huddled together talking about something.

'Target spotted.' Aeinshia's eyes lit up, when she spotted them. And, now she has to find a way to tell them the rumour she wanted to spread.

Her eyes roamed around the area of the hallway and she straightened her back and adjusted her clothes. Then, she walked forward with elegance and pretended that she was entering the hallway, just now.

Both the talking and giggling maids, stopped when they saw her and bowed to her. Aeinshia nodded her head and stopped beside them, ”Where is Princess Lucia?” She inquired and one of the maids replied while bowing to her.

”Her Highness Princess Lucia is in her room, your Highness.” She told and moved aside. Aeinshia strolled to the mentioned chamber and realized that those maids weren't following her.

Aeinshia softly cursed under her breath and was thinking of ways of filling their ears. She didn't watch her steps and bumped into something. Startled, she looked down and saw the person she wanted to meet before her.

Lucia smiled wide, when she saw Aeinshia. Aeinshia, too smiled greeting her. ”Sister Aeinshia, were you finding me?” Lucia asked Aeinshia and she nodded softly, while kneeling before the small girl.

”Yes, Princess. I wanted to meet you before going on my journey.” Aeinshia told, while carassing black locks of the young princess. Lucia frowned at the news and Aeinshia understood her confusion. Now, this is the opportunity she was waiting for.

”I'm going to City Sylter to pay my mother a visit, as I go every year.” Aeinshia explained and Lucia's eyes went big and mouth formed an 'o' shape in realization. She recovered and, ”Happy journey, Sister Aeinshia.” Lucia said with a big smile and Aeinshia cooed at her cuteness.

Aeinshia could see the maids looking at each other, from her peripheral vision and she was sure, they were going to spread this latest news to all the others. Her work here was done.

Lucia smiled at the words of Aeinshia and nodded. She immediately hugged Aeinshia, which was returned. They stayed like that and soon, Lucia said, she has to leave to meet her mother. Aeinshia, too had to rest and they both parted, to go on their own ways.

While leaving for her chambers, Aeinshia noticed some maids together talking about something and that seemed to be start of spread of the words that she intentionally spoke to the little Princess Lucia.

Aeinshia was now in her room, glancing out of the same window, attached to the big wall facing the door of her chamber.

The sky was a loosing its bright yellow and blue glow. The bright colors were fading and settling into more serene and non intimidating and soft colors.

Aeinshia looked at the beautiful sky painted with oranges and red hues, thinking and going over her plans over and over again. No matter how much, she thinks, there is no backing out now.

But, there still soemthing that was bothering her from inside. One part of her was happy that she was able to form a plan to face her situation, but on the other hand, her fear was overtaking her senses.

The doubt that something won't go right was gnawing at her consciousness and Aeinshia was feelimg helpless, while thinking in that direction. Now, she understood the stress and pressure of being worrier and being under constant stress of attack.

Aeinshia sighed heavily as the plan repeated once again in her head.

”I need some rest to calm my mind. I should be alert tomorrow on my journey and I can't take chances of fall in asleep during that.” She spoke to herself and sighed again. Though, she wanted to rest, she didn't make any effort to move away from the window.

Her thoughts slowly drifted off to her loved ones, who are currently on their respective missions and far away from her. If something unexpected happens to her on the journey, she wondered how would they know about her condition.

'Last time I was found and saved by Evan or else I would have died there in my pathetic state.' Aeinshia chuckled at the thought that popped up in her head. 'Who am I kidding? It would be better if I died that day, instead of being saved. At least, my family wouldn't have to go through all the struggles they went through after my incident.'
