Chapter 50 Mary

Translator: Tseirp

It was time for breakfast.

The third flooring of the constructing is utilized by the Haggle Kingdom Particular Forces. Mary’s meal was introduced into the drab and cramped room. A younger man introduced it.

(Pondering of which, I haven’t seen Lancome lately.)

“Mary, your breakfast.”

“What occurred to Lancome?”

“…”

“I stated, what occurred to Lancome?”

“…”

“What? Are you going to get punished if you happen to speak to me?”

“Lancome is busy.”

“Why is he busy?”

The person hesitated however he determined that she couldn’t go away the room anyway.

“Lancome is not the part chief. He’s serving to out on the coaching college.”

The person positioned the tray with the meals on the desk roughly and slammed the door shut as he left.

Mary determined to eat anyway. She couldn’t afford to lose her bodily energy. She acquired up and moved to the desk, and the chains made a heavy jingling sound.

She dropped her gaze to the chain that was, by now, utterly acquainted. An iron ring was hooked up to her ankle and a protracted chain was related to it. It was lengthy sufficient to stay within the room, however she couldn’t go away the room. The iron bars on the home windows spoke of her place.

It had virtually been two months since she began dwelling in that situation. Not one of the individuals from the Kingdom of Randal, who had been supposed to return to save lots of her, got here.

(I’ve been deserted. No, I suppose I wasn’t accepted from the start. At this charge, I’ll be killed.)

They most likely nonetheless had a use for her as she has not been executed.

Instantly after their marriage, Lancome ordered her to research paperwork. She was tasked with reviewing a mountain of paperwork and an aged would carry out all of the errands that concerned going out, reminiscent of procuring. Each time that aged left the house, one other aged would take their place to run errands within the residence. She was confined to the home and compelled to research the paperwork.

In the future, in the course of the daytime, she sneaked out to fulfill somebody, and when she returned, she was put in chains.

“I lastly caught proof of you. Did you assume you weren’t beneath surveillance?”

Lancome stated with a chilly expression and left the room the place Mary was locked up.

Mary was twenty years outdated when she grew to become a double agent.

She was impatient as a result of she was solely tasked with small jobs for a very long time. Her juniors had been typically assigned bigger duties than she was.

It was then that an individual from the Kingdom of Randall approached her.

“Inform me what you see and listen to. If somebody from the Particular Forces finds out, you possibly can simply flee to Randall. In our nation, we desperately want glorious brokers such as you.”

Randall’s agent was a good-looking man. She was approached within the royal capital of Haggle and was requested to drink with him.

“If you happen to give me info on the Particular Forces, sometime it is possible for you to to work as an agent for Randall.”

His phrases had been terribly charming. So long as she remained in Haggle, she’ll get nothing however menial jobs. It was an unfair and disgusting office the place solely Chloe was favored.

“However what if the group finds out and I get caught?”

“In that case, we’ll do all the pieces in our energy to rescue you. There is no such thing as a purpose to waste treasured human sources.”

How silly she was to take these phrases with out questioning.

No group would settle for an individual whose true identification is found by an agent from one other nation and whose comrades know that they’re a double agent. Although she hadn’t been capable of contact him for 2 months, nobody has come to rescue her.

Randall’s agent was overjoyed when she managed to get nearer to Lancome and acquired married.

“I knew I used to be proper to depend on you. I’m wanting ahead to your future actions.”

She was simply used. Each by the Kingdom of Randal and by the Kingdom of Haggle. Maybe she was not even formally married to Lancome. It will need to have been nothing greater than an act by Lancome, who was suspicious of her.

Till the subsequent meal was served, Mary immersed herself in considering of how to flee.

With Lancome out of energy, time was operating out. If the brand new chief says, ‘She’s not wanted. Get rid of her.’ She could be killed instantly.

“Hey! Hey! What’s mistaken!”

The person who was bringing dinner to her hurriedly put the meals to at least one aspect and ran to Mary. Blood spilled from Mary’s mouth and she or he was mendacity on the ground along with her eyes closed.

“Hey! Mary!”

The second the person who shook Mary’s shoulder was about to face as much as name somebody, she opened her eyes, grabbed his ankle, and pulled onerous. The person managed to keep away from hitting his head on the ground however panicked as Mary wrapped her chain round his neck.

After ensuring the person had handed out, Mary rapidly stood up, tied the person’s fingers and toes with strings produced from ripped sheets, and gagged him. She then stood up as she watched the person and ran her tongue inside her mouth. She had scratched her gums along with her nails so deeply that she frowned in ache and on the style of iron. She then calmly searched by means of the person’s garments for her key however discovered solely the important thing to the room.

Reluctantly, she tackled the lock to the iron ring round her ankle with a silver toothpick that was within the man’s pocket.

Midway by means of, the person regained consciousness, so she kicked him within the abdomen to silence him, after which continued engaged on the lock on her fetters. Ultimately, with a click on, her ankle lock got here off. With blood round her mouth, Mary stood and appeared down on the man.

“You had been going to kill me sometime, weren’t you?”

She laughed as she kicked the groaning man on the top.

“I received’t kill you. An underling such as you isn’t price killing.”

Saying that, Mary kicked the person within the abdomen once more, moistened the stays of the sheets with a cup of water, and punctiliously wiped away the blood round her mouth.

Leaving the room, she locked the door with the important thing taken from the person. In her proper hand was the knife that the person was carrying and she or he additionally wrapped a belt round her waist instead weapon.

She had nowhere to go, but when she stayed, she could be killed.

(I’ll run away, outrun them, and disappear. I’ll by no means belief anybody once more.)

Mary descended the steps to the second flooring and jumped to the bottom by means of the second-story window, avoiding anybody’s presence. She selected a darkish spot to run by means of, avoiding the guards and rapidly climbed over a excessive wall.

Edward Asher was studying a letter that Hams of the Duchy had despatched on a quick messenger. It had been eight months since he tasked him to tell him with all haste if his youthful brother is available in contact with a lady with a baby.

“I see. So he discovered her? I might like to take a while to speak to her, however earlier than that, I’ve to safe her security.”

His Majesty and the First Prince most likely wish to maintain Jeffrey as Prince Cedric’s assistant, however because the Administration Supervisor and as an older brother, he didn’t want to maintain Victoria and Jeff collectively close to Hayden. He wished to eradicate any chance of hazard.

“I suppose that’s the perfect place.”

After saying that, Edward rapidly left the room and went to the west tower the place the medical workforce was.

“Oh, Administration Supervisor. How can I assist?”

A small man with black eyes and black hair greeted him.

He was born to a service provider from a faraway land and a lady from Ashbury.

He grew up in his father’s nation, however simply earlier than he turned 30, he got here to this nation along with his medical information, saying, “I wish to see the surface world.” Due to this man, Ashbury may purchase useful medicines that different international locations couldn’t afford.

“There may be one factor I want to ask of you as a favor.”

“Okay okay. In return?”

“Don’t say that. Aren’t we on good phrases? However certain, how about I negotiate with the prime minister so to freely use that medication you wished?”

The small man widened his eyes and lifted the corners of his mouth.

“The anesthetic utilized in surgical procedure? However the value is mind-boggling?”

“Depart it to me. In change, I need you to let my brother and the one who will probably be his spouse stay in your nation for about 5 years. Ah, there’s one youngster as properly. After all, I’ll pay for it.”

(Is it that simple?) Thought the physician.

“My mum or dad’s home is a big mansion. There’s an annex as properly. Three additional individuals is not going to be a difficulty. They’ve a ton of servants too.”

“Good. It’s determined. Then, will you write a letter to your father? I imagine your house nation’s ship will dock subsequent month and can return instantly. I wish to put my brother on that ship.”

“Preserve your guarantees, okay?”

“Have I damaged my promise even as soon as? If there are every other medication you wish to use aside from the anesthetic, please checklist them as properly. I’ll negotiate to get as many approvals as doable.”

Sure, the Administration Supervisor has by no means damaged a promise. And for some purpose, each His Majesty and the prime minister normally settle for his requests with out hesitation. The person from the medical workforce rapidly wrote a letter to his father after which crammed out an inventory of the medicines he wished.

Edward Asher handed a letter for the overseas captain to the person and returned to his darkish workplace.
