Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate - 148 chapter 148. A plan- 4

Aeinshia blankly stared back at him, not knowing how to receive his erupting anger. It’s not her first time seeing him getting angry over something, but this is her first time witnessing him getting angry on her. So she didn’t know how to answer back.

She expected this reaction, but still it hurt looking at her loving uncle shouting at her like that. Yes, its totally her fault that the Emperor is yelling in the first place, but the feeling Aeinshia was getting experiencing it for the first time, was hurting her a lot.

It pained Aeinshia, how much she is letting Ber loved ones suffer, because of her obsession and confusion of changing her fate.

” I am fully aware of the consequences, uncle Alex. This game of hide and seek is not fun anymore, I wanna see those faces which are hid behind those masks and drag them down to show everyone that traitors to the empire,” She reassured him, while at the same time, gave into her emotions and spoke few of her inner thoughts.

Listening to her, Alexander frown deepened even more. Something seemed off here. Clearly something happened that was gravely worrying Aeinshia, but he didn’t know what it is.

His niece, who was never interested in state affairs, never paid attention to the royal affairs or any royal schemes and never worried about those back hand schemes of others is now going on a hunting spree, while making herself as the bait for them. This change is big and incident leading to this change should also be big. What exactly happened , which made her to change entirely like this? And, why isn’t she sharing it with anyone?

Alexander was very sure, that Aeinshia didn’t talk about this to anyone. He guessed not even with Felix. Alexander knew how Aeinshia behaved and this behavior was totally unusual and never seen of. That was the root of his worry.

Unanswered questions began to fill Alexander’s brain, but he didn’t voice them out. For time being, he decided to watch over her and come to a conclusion before asking her. He had to stay calm, if he wants to solve this.

” I only hope that you are taking all your decisions with you conscious mind and not in your, whatever craziness of your kind. This isn’t some easy play. I am not asking for an explanation little girl, but at the same time, I hope you got the clarity and your own reasoning for the decisions you take and know how dangerous this could be” Alexander sighed lightly as he spitted his thoughts out, finding her plan senseless. Well, even though he found it senseless, he got no other way but to follow her at the end.

Immediately drifting back her attention to the matter at hand, she opened her mouth, ” Un—, ” Only to be interrupted by her uncle.

Taking the glass of water in front of him, he took a sip before continuing, ” So I guess I need to make the preparations for your trip. Let me make this clear to you, no other me than mine could come along with your trip. About the maids, do you have anything to say? ” He asked her with a straight face. If he could, then he wouldn’t have sent her for real, but he too didn’t find any reason to stop her and above all, this maybe twisted in a way, he found it is for the best to send her, to lure the enemies.

Of course, everything comes at someone’s risk. And, nobody knew this better than Alexander and he got his own ways to tackle those threats which pass the way.

Aeinshia gave some thought to Alexander’s question. She didn’t want to risk Shirley’s life. So she already decided to not let Shirley tag along with her to the temple. Yeah, she could get anyone to take care of her needs for the trip, but she don’t want to trust just anyone.

Who knows, on the name of a maid, she might be carrying a ticking time bomb, who would drug her and at the same time, tip off their enemy about their whereabouts, making it easy for them to succeed? So she dismissed the idea of carrying a maid from Rutz household.

On giving further thought, she understood its time for the Rutz’s to finally filtrate their mansions. She really began to doubt how many moles were placed beside them, aware of their each moments, meeting them daily, bowing them, getting salaries from the Rutz house, biting the feeding hand. Oof~ that really gave her an headache just by thinking.

However,from her uncles words, she is smart enough to decipher that he isn’t planning to send any maid along with her and he is anticipating her to give the same reply. The more people join the trip, the more they delay the things and he didn’t want to delay. He must have made necessary arrangements to think as such. And it is difficult to gather everything for a last minute trip. So she finally gave in and didn’t trudge on that topic further.

“No. I will be fine without anyone taking care of me. It’s just a short trip this time however. So I guess I can do it without a maid, ” She told, sure to know that Alexander is testing her.

Alexander smiled lightly, ” Good. Then what do you think the guards who will follow you? ” He passed another question to her.

Aeinshia contemplated for a while, before replying. She thought her uncle will take care of anything, but here he is, who went on attacking her with questions, trying to know how she is thinking into the matter. He sure is smart trying to know my thoughts like this.

Nodding her head, as if she got a way to answer back, he spoke back, ” I guess they might have eyes around us everywhere. So I guess it is for best if the people who come along with me is less in number. Probably, they will let their guard off seeing ours less strength. We can use it to our advantage I guess, ” She finely formed her words, while her hands pushing back a bunch of her locks behind her ear.

Alexander was impressed by her thoughtfulness, but at the same time couldn’t help but frown. Probably, he might not frown daily like this as many times as he did in this past hour. In the first place, Aeinshia is speaking as if she knew an ambush is planned on her, more likely will certainly happen during the trip. It’s as if she is planning an counter attack and came here for his assistance.

For the first time, he didn’t know what is this little girl thinking. She used to be like an open book, whose emotions always clearly written on her face, and could understand her easily. But today, facing her, he couldn’t even understand what is she even feeling while saying such words.

Aeinshia saw Alexander to fall into a contemplation. It is rare for Alexander to be such least attentive like now. She understood it, she is the reason making Alexander such a busy body. She is indeed Making others worry more, but she doesn’t want her sad past to be remembered by anyone except her. She want to take it to her grave and bury it with her.

” Uncle, who is so foolish enough to attack a princess? No one would ever dare, except to face the wrath of the imperial family and Rutz household, the two most powerful families around the seazle empire, ” She spoke, while laughing wryly. She really didn’t want to laughter at this moment, but she ended up giving a fake smile, which surely got caught by her uncle.

Alexander leaned closer to her, ruffling her soft head, he replied back, ” Yeah, they are surely fools. I will surely pay back everyone righteously my dear, ” He smirked evilly. It’s not a mere comment, he marked it in his head, as his eyes turned red for a second in anger.
