Villainess Becomes The Knight

"These are the dresses. As you have said, most of them have roses and other flowers as the main part of it. And I have used pearls only to decorate them rather than rubies or other jewels. So, I have used more lacy work. 

There are a total of twenty dresses." 

"These dresses are very beautiful, Abi.'' My eyes sparkled too as I looked at the white, red, pink and other light shades of bright clothes that have lace work in their hem area and sleeves. 

"A few girls will arrive in an hour or two. I want you to adjust the dresses according to their measurement by night. In the early morning come to this address with all the dresses. I will send a knight and a carriage to escort you. After that you will be paid for all your efforts." their eyes sparkled and they nodded their heads.

"Is there anything else you wished for, my lady." I shook my head as I finally removed my eyes from the sparkling dresses.

"Then I shall take my leave." I moved when my eyes felt on the young girl, "this girl is a good start. I hope we have other staff like her only." she blushed as I praised her.

"I can not believe that we are going to have a show tomorrow. But Abi, why did they call you a trader instead of an owner?" 

"I do not want anyone to know about me in the near future. So, this is the best way to keep the identity hidden. We need to be strong first, strong enough to rule the whole market."

"Wow, I thought you only wanted to be a strong knight. I never thought you would have so many dreams." she chuckled though I could see wonder in her eyes.

If only I could tell her that all I wanted was to kill Gerard. But before that I want to break his pride. I want to snatch everything he had treasured all his life. And the most important thing was money and power!

"I have to go to the palace now. I will see you tomorrow." she frowned at me as she looked at the carriage.

"We have only one carriage and if one decides to drop the other it will be a long journey since both are in opposite directions." I nodded as if she was right. I thought it would take a lot more time so maybe I would not be able to go.

Even if I took the servant's carriage. She would have to share the carriage with Oliver then. I did not know but recently I didn't like the fact that they spent a lot of time together.

"I will go and take the local carriages then. Since we are in the middle of the town, getting one would be easy." I replied after some thought when she frowned.

"Why don't you take this carriage and I will go home with Nia in their carriage." my eyes softened as she offered to go in the servant's carriage, yet I denied.

"It will be fine. Now go, we have a lot of work to do."

"Then I shall go to Lady Amayra and help her in arranging everything. I will not feel at ease at home anyway. Are you sure you will manage in the local carriage?" she asked once again like a worried mother and I smiled. It felt good to be taken care of.

"Yes, I will be fine. Then I assign you all the responsibilities and leave. Thank you, Bella." We both hugged each other as I walked towards the centre of the town.

"I want to hire the whole carriage.'' I took out one gold coin to offer to the man who looked at me apologetically.

"The carriage is already hired, my lady." I sighed as he denied.

"Where will the other carriage be?" I asked as I have only seen one in this area.

"There is only one carriage at a time in a town. So, you have to walk to another town to get another carriage. But there will be another carriage here after three hours." he assured me but that would be too late. The sky has already started to turn red. Soon it will be dark!

"That would be too late, where is this carriage going?" he shook his head at my question.

"We are going to the royal palace. But like you wanted to hire the whole carriage, the men inside have also hired the whole carriage.`` I frowned when I heard his reply. Why would those who are going to a royal place need local carriages? 

Even if it was a staff, they all had a servant's carriage available. 

"Maybe I shall request them and they will allow me to travel with them?" I asked the man who mostly knows me in the palace. 

"Well, i don't know." he was looking reluctant, but looking at my pleading gaze, he sighed and nodded.

"Fine, go ahead and try. But do not irk them.`` I nodded my head as I opened the door.

Two men were sitting in the carriage but their face was covered with the cloak on their head.,.

"How shall i help you, my lady." asked the one in the corner and i frowned. His voice seems too familiar.

"May I know you?" I asked and he chuckled.

"I thought this was used by men for beautiful girls! I never knew that women also use this to ask for a favor." 

"So, you do know that I need a favor?" I asked, ignoring his amusement. Even if I have heard his voice it was not a big deal since I have heard everyone's voice in the royal palace at one time or another.

"Of course, or why would you have been here!" he replied and I nodded.

"I want to travel with you to the royal palace. So if you could share the carriage with me? I will pay half of the amount you have paid for the carriage too." I added once they did not reply.

"Are you not afraid to travel with two strangers?"
