Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate - 178 chapter 178

A carrier pigeon came with a message, to inform the black pawns the recent updates of their mission.

A black pawn was already stationed to receive the news of success and everyone including their master is waiting to hear it. They have been planning to strike for a long time and got everyone’s weakness. Irony is that, Aeinshia is their Achilles heel and one conspiracy against her, everyone will mostly fall down.

So they couldn’t wait to make a celebration about their victory. If it weren’t for their master’s orders, they would have already started to arrange for a feast, instead of waiting for news, just because their master’s ears felt itchy to listen to the victory.

Just as the carrier pigeon landed on the black pawns hand, he rushed to take out the encrypted message and immediately ran towards their master, the one who formed black pawn.

A string of happiness was showed on their master face, as the master saw a message in hands of one of its men.

The black pawn bowed at the other end of the hall, and was ready tk deliver a message to the master with the help of another black pawn stationed near the doors of the hall.

Their master seemed impatient, as the master didn’t wait any further and signalled the black pawn to enter, dismissing thr courtesies.

Raising the chin proudly, sure that it is a victory, the master ordered, ” Read the letter out loud. Let the whole world listen the victory screams of us, the black pawns, who will rule them in near future. ”

Without any delay, the black pawn opened the encrypted message and began to read it out loud.

”Nathan was successful in deceiving the knights and the princess. They abducted them and as according to our plan, they began to proceed, but…. ”

The black pawn gulped down a huge lump of saliva before continuing, he understood, they failed at the end, even though they made a perfect plan. Now, he is afraid to face the wrath of their master.

Knowing that it’s a bad news, he couldn’t afford to continue further, and yet, he didn’t receive any orders from his master to stop reading the letter. He began to made up his mind, that he need to be prepared to for anything to receive in few minutes of time.

This is normal here, whenever something goes out of order, their master gord berserk and will punish them. They got no option to choose, except let their master decide everything in their stead. They can’t have opinions and could only accept any punishment their master will ask them to go through.

After what felt like an eternity, the black pawn continued to read the letter.

” But, gulp~ out of nowhere, a series of unknown incidents happened and Peter came along with a force of men. We highly regret to say this, but our plan this time, it’s failed( slash~) …(despite everything we gave in)

Their master slashed the letter in to two, unable to bare the sight of it. The master’s chest puffed up in anger,as blood began to rush in opposite directions, while the black pawn simply stared at torn pieces of letter.

The master clapped once, the next minute, two black pawns appeared, ” Slit his tongue. He don’t know what is acting accordingly. Victories could be spoke loudly, but defeat should be kept silent. Let him reflect his actions and prison him in dark room for 10 days, ” The master ordered.

Terror was the only reaction the black pawn had on his face. The dark room, every black pawn was afraid is now included in his punishment. This is far more worse than any normal physical punishment. After all, physical scars can be healed with time, but that can’t be the case if its a mental scar.

The dark room is the place where they live you, without letting you get in contact with any person, not feeding you and their is not a single window there, to let light pass through it. Days beging alone, without anyone to see nor speak, living in dark makes one depressed. For a normal human, this punishment can’t be sustained for long.

” Spare me my Lord, spare me. I realised my mistake. Please spare me, ” The black pawn fell on his knees and begged for mercy.

Their master’s glare landed on him, ” 15 days, ” Their master ordered and left the hall, while the black pawn was being dragged to start his punishment.

….

Back to seazle empire, City Sylter, at the entrance of cherry blossom palace.

The hunter immediately took his son and held his son in his arms, ” Calm down my child. Tell father what happened clearly. Where is your mother? Why are you alone here? ” He asked everything at once, as he felt it is not correct to bother the imperial family anymore and didn’t wish to involve and disturb Royal Family in their family business.

The young boys cry streamed endlessly, ” They told they will kill mother hick ~ Father, save mother and sister hick~ hick~ ” He spoke, as toi didn’t know what to say, as words didn’t form inside his brain to explain the situation.

After giving the grape nectar, both the grandpa and his grandson were heading back to their house, to let free their hostage mother and sister. However, instead of letting the kids mother and sister free as promised, they began to tie his grand father down too.

Understanding that something is wrong, he bit down hard on the black pawns hand and immediately ran out of their house to get the help from someone superior. Remembering that he gave a clue to one of princess maid, he immediately came to the cherry blossom palace silently and waited for their arrival till now.

He was standing their patiently, yet the same time worried in the large woods as he is eyeing for the princess arrival. Unexpectedly he saw his fathers shadow among the princess men and could hold his tears as he rushed towards his father.

The hunter tried to calm down his child. Only after calming him down, they began to start their interrogation. No matter what, they need to get the full information about the situation before they could start their rescue operation, as they can’t risk the life of innocents.

In jest, it is understood that, using the grandpa and this lad as a bait, they lured the princess and her men. To make the grandpa do his work properly, they kidnapped his daughter and his granddaughter to threaten them. However, even after doing everything as told, to not let any clue out, those men tied down that grandpa too, while the lad escaped from their plan.

As thought, Aeinshia did felt something fishy about the child and his grandfather. Those men might have followed the kid till here, but seeing the Royal guards, they must have backed down, to low the high tides.

Aeinshia went near the boy and bent down, reaching his height, ” Little fella, how many men were their inside your house? ” She asked.

Since the job of her husband is hunting, the wife chose the house outside the village, to make it up for her husband. So even though, they were abducted, it got unnoticed by everyone else.

Since he still didn’t start schooling, it took some time for the child to count the number of men. Showing his fingers, he showed a number.

Four members~

Aeinshia smiled back and reassured him, ” Don’t worry. This sister here will bring back your mother and sister unharmed. Do you trust this sister, ” She asked, to which the boy nodded his head.

Aeinshia ruffled his head as she commented him, ” Good boy. ”

The next second, she turned around to Peter, ” Sir Peter. I hope you will get them back safely, ” She told, indirectly asking him to be a part in the rescue mission.

Peter bowed to Aeinshia, a sigh of accepting her orders. Eyeing the gaurds behind, he began to select few uninjured people.

” Your highness, I don’t wish to bother you any—-” Before the hunter could speak his words out, he got interrupted by Aeinshia’s glare.

” What made you think I am helping you sir. One of my citizen came to ask for my help and as a Royal I can’t turn him down. So please rest assured, ” Aeinshia spoke, even the her words didn’t came out bad, her voice is harsh and had an intimidating aura, which no one can let it be.
