Villainess Becomes The Knight

Abigail pov

"What are you doing here?" he shouted, crossing his hands over his chest.

Well, when I came in, I was not expecting him to come out of the room wearing only his pants. He was not wearing a shirt. His hair was dripping wet. I looked at him with marvel. He was one sexy piece of art. His broad shoulder and taut muscles. 

Even at the age of 18 he had a defined body and his looks were killing. I wonder if this time we did not stay in the forest and live a better life here, how many noble ladies would fall for him.

"Would you stop staring blatantly at me or just keep on looking at me like a shameless woman. Or are you even going to drool now?" he shouted as his face turned redder than the cooked shrimp.

He was looking so embarrassed that I blinked. 

"i apologise. But I just wanted to discuss something with you. I never thought that it would happen. You shall wear the clothes. I will wait." I replied as I looked at him with serene expressions but his eyes only widen.

"Are you serious? You are expecting me to change in front of you?" his voice raised a pitch higher when he looked at me.

"Well, I am only expecting you to wear your shirt. Since I have already seen you without a shirt. What difference would it make if i will go out or stay in when you wear the shirt?" I asked logically but the man just looked at me as if I was crazy. I have asked him to give his life to me.

"You.. just leave the premises now." he replied and I nodded with a sigh.

"Alright. I am standing out of the door. Call me when you are done." I relented and the man finally nodded. I walked out of the door and he slammed the door hard.

After what felt like an eternity he finally opened the door. 

"What are you doing here?" he asked as he looked at me pensively.

"I am here to ask for a favor." he looked at me annoyed as the words left my mouth.

"When did you not come to me for a favor?"  he mocked but I just nodded shamelessly.  One thing I have realised is that I have become very shameless in this life.

"What is it this time?" he asked, looking at me and then moving in leaving the door opened.

I walked in, following him. "I want you to go to the archduke palace and apologise to Sophie that i was not able to meet her yesterday. But make sure to apologise in front of Lord Gerard.  He must know that his sister was not in our palace." my eyes filled with evil glint. 

He looked at me with strange eyes, but nodded his head. "Fine, I will go there tomorrow. Anything else you want me to do?" he asked and I nodded again.

"If possible, can you meet a man and check his details about his knowledge of weaponry. If he had good knowledge I would want him to work for me." 

"Why did you want a man who has knowledge of weaponry? We have sufficient knowledge of weapons already. And you can not do everything alone." 

"Of course, but I can do everything with the help of all of you as a team." I replied , making him silent.

And before he could reply I left for the palace. When I reached my chamber I was so excited for the future. I immediately wrote a letter to both Amayra and Sharron. 

"I already have arranged the designs and created a few jewels. So, I would like to fix a date with you to meet us and see if the jewels were up to your liking.`` With a smile on my face I posted the letter and passed the letter to Beth.

"Pass this letter to Lady Sharron and Lady Amayra." I instructed and she nodded and left. Now all i do is to hope that everything will be fine.

  I closed my eyes as I succumbed to sleep. When I opened my eyes it was already a new day, a new morning to welcome me.

"My lady. His highness is calling you." said Beth as soon as I opened my eyes.

"Alright. I will come in a minute." I replied as I walked towards the window and took a deep breath.

Today was the day when I would go and resume my training again. I smiled at the thought of it.

After getting ready, when I walked towards my father\'s office, I heard him scolding a few knights. He was sounding angry. 

"May I come in, father?" I asked in a soft voice when he nodded his head.

"Come in" his voice was still pressured. 

I stood in front of him when he dismissed other knights and then he looked at me.

"Abi, we have received an invitation from his majesty. He wanted to meet you. And that also alone." his voice was grave and he was looking too disturbed by it.

"Well, I did not know the reason but it must be something very serious. Or else he would not have called you alone, Abi. but we can not deny his majesty\'s invitation so you have to go alone to meet him." his voice was getting lower and lower as if he was having trouble speaking.

"But father, why are you so worried about it? It is just a meeting and I know all the decorum of the palace. I will not disappoint you ``I assured him but he shook his head as if that was not the reason.

"Abi, if they were going to punish you for hurting Josephine then they would have called you to meet in the morning audience. And if the reason would have been your knighthood, then they have already sent me the letter yesterday. Then I can not deduce his reason to call you."
