Villainess Becomes The Knight

Abigail pov

"Well, how are we both going to work on it together? I can not bring all my things out of the palace and he did not have proper apparatus." she asked, looking at him who just shrugged his shoulders. He was too nonchalant about anything. but his eyes were strong and sharp as he was looking at all of us.

"Well then, how about taking his design and then you work on them by yourself?" I offered but then they both frowned.

"Then how am I supposed to learn how to make jewels?"

"Then how would I know if the process was going right or not?" they both asked spontaneously looking at me with a frown as if it was my mistake to begin with.

"Then what do you want me to do? If we open a store for not it will be very expensive. Moreover father would know about it.'' I added and they both looked at the design and then us.

"Then it will be very difficult to work together, Abi." said Isabella with a sigh finally. I wanted to tell her that most of the business only works that way. The designer did not stay in the factory to see how the product was going on. But I kept my mouth shut and just nodded.

"Then we can only do one thing." said Nickolas and i hope we are on the same page.'' If I would have asked to give him the job and let him stay at the palace then I was sure Nickolas would never have agreed to it.

"We can give this man a job in the palace as a page or a servant. Then he can stay there and work with Isabella too. And I can also get time to know him more closely.`` I was sure it meant that he would be able to keep an eye on him or interrogate him. 

But I still nodded and Isabella too.

"Wait, I do not want to be the knight. I will not work as a page." said the man shaking his head.

"Then you can work as a servant, the one who works for stable, cooking, cleaning..? I am sure you must know at least a thing." asked Isabella and he nodded.

"But then I will get entangled in those things. How would I be able to help you at work?" he asked as if we were being ridiculous there.

"See, this is the only option you have. We will try to lessen your work but not much since everyone will notice it then. Or l can appoint you as my servant and not give enough tasks to you. That is all I can do for you." said Nickolas in a bit annoyed tone.

Though the man was looking happy. He still nodded his head reluctantly.

"Good. since the discussion has ended. Do you both want to visit anywhere or shall we go home?" he asked, looking at us.

"I am fine with anything. Do you want to go somewhere, Bella?" I asked and she shook her head. So we all nodded and left the tea house to go back to the palace.

  While we all three sat together Oliver took the carriage with Beth.

"So, spill the beans. What are you doing, huh?" asked Nickolas when we sat in the carriage.

"I am trying to fulfil Bella's dream as an apology brother. I want all three of us to be together." the moment words left my mouth. Isabella looked at me with misty eyes.

Her face has complicated emotions. I understand our stars have been wrong. And it took us 2 lives to improve it and understand each other. She looked out of the carriage and blinked her eyes.

"I am proud of you, Abi," said Nickolas as he patted my shoulder. 

The journey was silent but for the first time I did not feel the awkwardness we used to have when we travelled together.

"My lord we have reached the palace." the coachman informed me but the bump was enough to inform me beforehand.. 'Sigh I still have to wait to be old to get the car back.'

"Do you have any plans for the rest of the day?" Isabella asked me and I nodded. I still have to write a letter to Gerard informing him that his sister was not here last night.

"Oh, okay.. Then I will see you tomorrow." she said and left. Suddenly the fierce Isabella looked mellow to me.

I saw from a distance how Nickolas took Oliver with him. Like he had a sore thumb. Firstly I used to think that Nickolas did not like Noah because of personal problems or competition. But now I can see, he hates every man who knew me and Isabella. So, Beth was right. He was a jealous and overprotective brother.

I chuckled at the thought as I shook my head. Instead of walking back to my chamber. I walked towards the quarters of knights. Since I was still the squire of Noah for this week it was easy to go there.

"Noah, are you there?" I asked but no one replied. I looked at the door and knocked it but still no reply came out. So, I held the door and opened it.

The room was empty. Where did he go at the time? I looked around. The steam was coming from the kitchen. The dinner must have been made a while ago.

Then where did he go, I was just pondering when I heard footsteps.

When I turned to see him, my eyes widened and then I closed my eyes.

He looked at me mortified and closed his eyes too. Dumb man instead of hiding his body. He closed his eyes!! What was he thinking if he would not see me then i would not see him too.!

"You.. what are you doing here?" he shouted finally when i thought that he would not be able to speak for centuries.
