Chapter 389 - The Devil Herself (1/2)
Akita and her followers spread all over the town in search of their Young Princess. They know that her priority was to get to the capital. So, they waited by the bus station and other areas in which they'll use to exit the town.
”Mistress, I'm sorry but we still haven't found them.”
”Same here, I've inquired and no one has seen her.”
”Hmm…”
Akita got her phone out and called someone. ”Master…”
”Akita, what's wrong?”
”She've disappeared.”
”She did?”
”Seems like they are helping the Young Princess.”
”Are they?”
”Well, if they are to harm her, we would have found them already yet they are nowhere to be found.”
”I see, very well then…”
”So what should we do then?” Akita inquired seeing their mission was cancelled seeing the tables have turned.
”Well, I've heard more trash is on their way. You better still find the Young Princess and keep those trash from seeing her.”
”With pleasure.” Akita smile was meaningful as she ended the call.
”So what's now Mistress?”
Akita turned to her followers with the same smile on her face, ”We have a new mission. Protect the Young Princess and her little helper and kill the trash after them.”
Everyone: ”Yes Mistress!”
Akita checks her phone once again and saw the information Master Shou sent her. They were the list of people who arrived just a few hours ago and are after their Young Princess's life.
”How troublesome.”
Meanwhile, Jo, Elizabeth, and Megan finally reached the end of the tunnel. It leads them out to an abandoned alley in the middle of the town.
”Jo, go check the area.” Megan order.
”Alright.”
Jo went ahead and checks the area leaving Elizabeth alone with Megan.
”Why are you doing this? You do know your lives are in danger because of me. My father won't spare you even if I beg him.”
”That's fine.”
”Are you crazy?”
”You can say that.” Megan chuckled softly.
”Who are you really? Why are you risking your life for me?”
Megan said nothing and top Elizabeth by her forehead with her two fingers. ”Let's go.”
Elizabeth was dumbfounded as to why she felt a familiar sensation when she received the tap on the forehead as if something like this happened before as well.
”Why do I feel like I know her?”
Megan went ahead and meet Jo halfway. ”So?”
”Bad news, I saw some of Akita's girls wandering around.”
”And?”
”It doesn't seem as if they are after us, they more like waiting for someone.”
”Waiting?”
”Yeah, they were all just sitting around idly and doing nothing.”
Megan was speechless and wonders what Akita could be thinking. She was sure that they know Elizabeth was with them, so why are they not making a move.
”Mercenaries.” She muttered.
”You mean, they are waiting for the mercenaries?”
”It's possible since they aren't looking for us.”
”Why?”
”Maybe they saw we weren't a treat to their Young Princess and decided to clean those after her instead.”
”So are you saying her father is letting her go?”
”I think he is? I mean, somehow I don't know why but I think Lord Knightley does want her to recover her memory but why?”
