Chapter 31：The Ex- Part 1 (2/2)

”You will know soon,” I chuckled. I went to the office room later where Sebastian and Louis were there sitting.

”How was your morning?” Sebastian asked me hiding a smile.

”Interesting,” I replied.

”The whole castle heard Megan. She came fuming down the stairs and left the castle,” Louis informed me.

”Hope she's left for good,” Sebastian said happily.

”About that, I have a new proposition to offer.” I said gaining both their attention, ”I have decided to cut ties with the Viscount and form a stronger ally with the French Duke.”

”You mean William Vernes?” Sebastian asked and pondered over it, ”I think its a good one,” he said.

”How is the Viscount going to react and there's Megan to add to it,” Louis said.

”That's arranged,” I told them and they nodded, ”And Louis I want you to contact the Preston's and arrange something for me,” I smirked thinking about what I had in my head.

”Yes,” he replied.

After spending some time in the office going through the reports of the locals, everything seemed normal. I had asked Eve to come to the office once she was done with her homework.

”What?!” Eve asked now as she stood in my office.

”Yes, Louis will teach you on how to defend yourself. You didn't think I would let you go for the trip just like that, did you know?” I asked amused.

”But Louis and Derek will be there. Moreover, I have that sword,” she said reminding me. I know she wanted to go enjoy like the other students in her school and I don't think whoever was behind trying to kill her would try anything now.

”I know love but it's better to be prepared, if by the time of the trip Louis feels you're able to handle a fight then you can go else...” I trailed looking at her shocked expression.

She stood there thinking deeply and then spoke, ”Okay, I'll do it.” Good.
