Abigail pov conts.
Asmund continued to look at me with skepticism and then the surroundings. I rolled my eyes reading his thoughts.
"If I wanted to harm you, I would not have wasted my time to bring you here. I have enough list of your leisure activities to send to your father and keep you at house arrest till you grow old." my voice was strong enough to make him realize that i was not joking.
"Who in the world are you?" he asked, as he moved closer trying to subdue me so that he could take my veil off my face.
I moved my dagger and pressed it on his chest with a little effort but the grip was strong enough.
"Do not try something that will make you lose your life." his eyes widened as he felt the tip of it pinning him, oozing out blood in the process.
"Now, if your childish games have ended, shall we talk about business?" he gulped and nodded this time, realizing well that he was no match against me.
"Now, I know that you want to go against Lord Gerard. But you are too weak and without any morals. So, of course, no one would support you and you always have to bear the insults because of it.\'\' I mocked him and he gritted his teeth.
"And you think he is better than me? Ha! He is just acting. She had worn a mask of kindness and benevolence. He spends nights with different women each week, breaks laws and takes advantage of his father\'s position. You know he beats his employees if they did not finish work on time and even assaults the women sexual there." the more he spoke, the more i felt my skin crawling.
I felt I was filthy. I could not believe I thought he was a kind and lovable person, that he would be loyal to me and I would have my happily ever after with him. A strong desire to rub my skin until I lose the first layer of it filled my heart.
"So, why don\'t you expose him?" i asked in a blank voice, but only i know how much torment was running in my heart
"If only I could, everyone would think I am doing it because of jealousy. My clothes were better than his but my business finished when he entered and my father was transferred to the borders.`` His anger was rising and that was all I needed.
"Then give me proof of all that you have, I know a person who will announce them to others would believe it without even checking the authenticity of the proofs. But make sure that no one knows it was you who collected them and I met you.`` I said as I looked around, the place was still deserted.
"But how can I trust, I haven\'t even seen your face!" he said, as he looked intently into my eyes.
"You have no other choice. Only I am the one who can help you.`` I replied as I took out a paper from my pocket.
"This is the list of the stores which are under him. If we are able to collect the proofs again, even half of them, it would be enough to break his pride and ruin his image. I will meet you after a week to see the progress." With that I backflipped and held a wall with holes and started climbing on it.
I was glad to know that my speed has increased since last night. I was getting better at it!
"Hey, how will I find you?" i heard him glowering as he stomped his feet in annoyance.\'\' I turned to see him glaring at me with shocked eyes.
"You do not need to find me. I will come to find you like this time. You just have to look for proof.`` I replied and then jumped on the roof and ran away.
The sky was already dark and I knew if I did not reach back, they would soon start searching for me.
After running to a distance, I took off the coat and veil and shredded it into pieces. Once satisfied that no one could recognize it, she walked down the stairs and walked towards the canteen William had shown me when he had given me a tour of this area.
I sat on the table and ordered dinner for myself. If I went back like that, they would ask a thousand questions. But I was sure they had already started looking for me.
"I want a pumpkin pie, vanilla cake and some juice." I ordered with a smile.
I had just taken a sip of juice when my eyes fell on the two men sitting in the corner of the table. One has his back towards me and the other has a cloak hiding his face. It was nothing new since many knights wore cloaks to hide their presence but what caught my attention was the broch on his dress. Wasn\'t the same brown coat with green broch was worn by Leo today. He was not a knight to hide his face.
Then I tried to notice the other man, he was also looking familiar to me. When I realized I could not recognize them, I decided to take a bold step. I stood up from my seat and walked towards their table.
"Hey, Leo. I was not expecting to see you here.`` I said in a soft voice as I sat there uninvited. I faked, surprised as I looked at his bi eyes.
Both men looked at me, stunned. They were too surprised to react and the first reaction of the other man was to hide his face. And I turned to him to look at him before he got successful in his attempt. But my eyes widened looking at the other man who was sitting with him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I looked into the honey eyes that had widened with surprise.
