Abigail pov ltd


    "Do you mean to say that the northern did note because Abigail denied him toe?" to say that i was shocked would be an understatement the man was lying tantly on my name! When have I ever denied him toe and go anywhere and who was I even to deny him.


    "Yes! I wonder what power did the woman hold to do so. Our master mostly kills the person who shows the courage to deny him for something. Only after killing did he ask for the reason. And yet he agreed to listen to a woman of the empire which he did it like at the first ce.'''' I so badly wanted to tell them that their master was lying to them, yet I kept my thoughts to myself. They both were looking too devoted to their masters and I did not want to argue with them and create trouble.


    "So, tell us. Who is Lady Abigail?" they asked again and I sighed. If they are going to follow me in, it will only take a few minutes for them to know my name.


    "I am Abigail. But I think there is some misunderstanding. I did not know the northern duke. And I surely do not have the sources and power to stop him from doing anything.`` They both looked stunned, the younger one even stood up, hitting the ceiling of the carriage in the process and then rubbing his head hard.


    ":aww, that hurts brother!"


    "You were in a hurry brother." was i the only one who was thinking that the whole situation was bizarre!


    After finishing their conversation, as if finally remembering that I was still in the carriage. They both bowed at me.


    "Mistress" who the hell was their mistress!!!


    "We apologize for being imprudent, mistress. You can give us any punishment you desire." They both bowed so low that their heads almost touched the ground.


    "I am sure there is some confusion." I replied , moving my legs towards my seat as I looked at both men who shook their heads.


    "You are the future duchess of the whole northern kingdom yet we talked to you insolently. Please punish us by cutting our tongues." they added when i did not reply.


    "Wait, I am not cutting anyone''s tongue or any other body part!" They both looked at each other and nodded.


    "Of course, how could we ask the mistress to dirty her hands. We both will cut each other''s tongue." they replied and the one who bber most of the time even took the dagger out.


    "Hey, no one is cutting anyone''s tongue. Out that dagger back." What kind of rubbish did that northern duke fill in the minds of his men! I seriously wanted to meet him and beat him now.


    "As you wish, mistress. But then please forgive our insolence." he repeated as he tried to hold my shoes.


    Before I could say anything the carriage stopped with a jerk.


    "Do you not know how to drive the carriage properly?" shouted their younger one.


    "The knights have stopped the carriage. They are not letting it go further sir." said the man in a fearful voice.


    "This is a local carriage. Of course, I could not go in. what were you even thinking?" said the man who had hired the carriage to go to the royal pce.


    "Then, can you pay me the offered sum so that i can leave from here." he spoke, almost crying.


    Both men snorted but when they looked at me their tone waspletely different, "mistress, we apologize but we have to walk from here. The carriage can not go in." I was amazed at the way their proud tone has turned into ttery. I nodded and walked out of the carriage and both men followed me.


    The knights looked surprisedly at me.


    "We apologize, sir Abigail. We did not know that you were in the carriage. If you want, you can take the carriage in." said the knights standing in alert position.


    "You do not need to do that. You are all my seniors." a glimmer of pride filled their faces when I said that. " and rules should be the same for everyone. I will walk from here." I added and they smiled.


    "There is no need. You can take the inner carriage. We keep a few for us." he signalled and a knight went in to ready the carriage.


    "Are these two men with you, sir Abigail?" I looked back at the silent men who were chattering so much in the carriage. I did not know them enough to take their guarantee. So I shook my head.


    "I met them in the town where the wheel of my carriage broke. They told me that they were here to meet his highness." The knights looked at the men who took out a letter and passed it to the head knights. He frowned as he read the letter but said nothing.


    "Very well, then i have to request you to share the carriage again." I nodded and soon we were escorted to another carriage. This time both men were silent and I was sure that the matter was severe.


    As we walked into the inner pce of William, he said once again, "we will wait for you in our pce, mistress." It sounded so creepy. I nodded and scurried away from there.


    I joined Kirian who was alone on duty today. His face was looking more sore than usual. He looked at me with disdain and started looking in another direction while I just rolled my eyes.


    "Sir Abigail, his highness is calling you in his office.'''' I frowned but nodded and followed the man.


    "Come and sit, little bird. I have news for you.`` His voice was grave just like the knights, making me uneasy.


    "The northern duke has asked me to free you from your duties. Since he wants you as his bride. And he did not want your name associated with the royal pce."
