Villainess Becomes The Knight

Abigail pov contd.

I looked at my father with aggrieved eyes. 

"Dad, i was trying to save both of us" i retorted when he decided to keep me house arrested again. I had to go to the tea house in two days. I have a lot to do!

"But I have asked all of you to wait till I return. What if anything major has happened, Abi? What if you had been hurt?" Although his tone was filled with anger, I could see only fear in his eyes, immense fear and my brows furrowed. Why was he so worried?

"Father, do you not trust my skills at all?" I asked, confused, these days he's worries were reaching new heights! Did he used to be so worried in the past too?!

But before I could ask him further my eyes fell on the man with silver hair. He was jumping from the ferris wheel. I was sure he was the one who had given me the letter of his highness at yesterday 's archduke's party.

There was no way a man like him would be here to enjoy the fair or ferris wheel alone. I looked around to see if he had a family but there was no one.

As if sensing my gaze, he turned to look at me. His eyes widened but then he adjusted his expressions and jumped towards the other direction and got lost in the crowd again. 

But the look in his eyes was like I had caught him red-handed. Was he the reason behind this incident?! Did William send him? But why did William want to.. Did he want to hurt me? My eyes widened at the last thought but then again why would he want to hurt me when I was trying to protect him? 

  I tried to move further to follow him when I felt someone holding me from behind.

"Where are you going?" asked Nickolas looking at me confused and then at the crowd where I was looking.

"Bella, are you okay?" I heard father asking her.

"I am fine, father. Thanks to my sister Abi, she kept me safe. ``It felt so good to hear sister Abi from their mouth that I even forgot I was angry with my father.

Even her mother looked at me gratefully. 'I should save her a few more times! Should I try to create traps and then protect her!' I shook my head at that absurd thought, though I was sure it would have given desired results.

"Now that everyone is fine. Shall we enjoy the fair. Come Abi, I will take you to the carriage and treat your wounds first.`` I nodded at the offer of Nickolas and walked back with him.

"Are you okay?" asked Noah, once he looked at me, he was looking worried just like father.

"I am fine. All of you are taking it as a big deal. It was just a minor accident." The words had just left my mouth when I heard a loud bang. 

I only turned to see that the ferris wheel completely broke and fell on the ground. Thank goodness that all the people were already saved and except for a few injuries nothing major happened.

"You did good, Abi. I am proud of you." Nickolas said as he cleaned my wound gently. Then he wrapped his hands properly and sighed.

I looked at him curiously when he said with puffed cheeks, "I was thinking of defeating you in the games today. But now you would not even be able to play."

"Why, I still can take aim and throw hoops." I recovered as I tried to flexion but I winced at the pain.

"Do not be stubborn, in fact, i think you can not even wield the sword tomorrow." added Noah, who was standing at the sidelines. And for a change, Nickolas nodded.

"You all are teaming against me. Father did not let me go out and you both would not let me enjoy today, and practice tomorrow.'' I said with puffed cheeks.

"Don't be stubborn, Abi. I will take you to other rides." offered Nick,

"And I will teach you something special today." offered Noah, they both tried their best to cheer me up. I felt my heart flutter at the care they were showing me.

But I kept my face glum, as I continued to look at the distance.

"Then will you take me shopping for an ice cream treat?" i asked and Nickolas nodded,

"I can take you there right now." he said proudly but i shook my head.

"No, I want to go tomorrow to your tea house. I want to see the place before taking my friends there. If i will not be familiar with the place they will find out my lie.'' I was telling the truth. I wanted to know everything about the place so that I could train Lily.

Nicholas sighed as he nodded, as he went in the carriage to keep the box back when Noah whispered.

"Are you going to act like you have designed the jewels, or you want me to act there?"

"No, they both have seen us, I have a perfect girl in my mind. But I did not know that you were interested in helping me." he pursed his lips at my remark and then stayed silent.

"Well if you still want to help me then we need to discuss it. Meet them at the armory later. I will tell you my plan ``I whispered back.

"Shall we go back?" I nodded when Nickolas and I turned back to go in, while Noah just stood there. His eyes followed me at a distance but then I turned and left with Nickolas.

They all were sitting in a booth of snacks. There are only or two booths where nobles eat in the fair which was only reserved from them and no commoner was allowed in.

Finally we were looking at a one happy family who sat together and chatted happily without any arguments in between.
