Chapter 152: SNEAKING AND BREAKING IN: PART 1


    "Are the preparations ready?" Silvester asked.


    "Yes, your highness."


    "Then, shall we?"


    "Yes!"


    They embark to go to the Capital and the Royal Pce. Edickart immediately held a meeting with Silvester after they arrived at the Pce.


    "It''s been a while, your highness." Edickart greeted Silvester.


    "There''s no need for formalities, your majesty." Silvester said.


    The two greeted each other and Edickart immediately dismissed his aides and knights. Silvester did the same but made Evelyn that was disguised as Adelyn the knight, stay.


    "Is your female knight going to stay?"


    "Is there a problem?"


    Evelyn, disguised as Adelyn and is wearing a ck mask that covers her half face, looks straight into space and doesn''t meet Edickart''s heating gaze.


    "Nothing I just thought that she looks familiar, now that I have a proper look of her."


    Silvester hid his nervous thoughts while Evelyn just simply shrugged what Edickart told. A few minutester, a knock came into the door.


    "Come in"


    The young heir of the Emsworth and the Duke of Sigrid walk in majestically with their formal attire on.


    "We greet the little sun of the Levingstone Kingdom."


    "You may rise"


    Cabel immediately noticed Evelyn standing behind Silvester, the two locked eyes but dismissed it as Edickart told them to sit.


    They rushed to their agenda and talked about Silvester''s n.


    "I must say, you have a vastwork of information even though you only knew it for a while."


    Edickart smirked at Silvester.


    Irked with what he said, Silvester replied. "Of course, It''smon to have this kind of information when you''re a Crown Prince of a Kingdom. I might have been a littlete at founding it out, I still have the capabilities when I put my mind to it."


    Edickart smiled widely. " As expected of Lady Evelyn''s cousin you''re also a natural talent like her."


    The corners of Silvester''s mouth twitch. While Cabel''s eyes only nce at Edickart andstly, An send a silent killing chill to him.


    "You really ought to calm yourselves I was just praising you."


    "You don''t need to drag the name of someone''s family." An replied.


    "However, you know I heard rumors."


    Cabel, An, and Silvester silently sipped tea or nced at him and waited for what he was about to say. Evelyn still is nonchntly staring at the space when her eyes moved and she made contact with Edickart''s emerald eyes.


    The three didn''t miss where Edickart just stared and thoughts about why swirled in their heads. An was confused though, he didn''t know why Edickart just stared at a female knight.


    An''s thoughts were cut off.


    ''Wait Did he look this way?'' Evelyn thought hard about it.


    "I heard that some merchantdy that came from your country looks exactly like Lady Evelyn if she matured into our age." Edickart observed Silvester who was looking at him and smiled.


    "Really? I should try to meet her once" Silvester nonchntly replied.


    "Well, I also heard that Sir An has been visiting this Lady ever since news of her being injured by an assassin was spread."


    ''Why is the topic that was once about the Kingdom shifted to me?'' Evelyn thought as she silently read the atmosphere that was beginning to tense up.


    An looked coldly at Edickart who just brushed it off. He chuckled at An''s reaction.


    "I told you, you ought to calm yourself. I can read you like an open book."


    An grip his knuckles.


    "I see, I should heed your highness words." Edickart chuckled again and nced at the female knight Adelyn.


    ''Did he just looked at Evelyn again?'' Cabel and Silvester thought.


    Evelyn smirked inwardly.


    ''Crazy Bastard How far can his intelligence information reach?''


    The meeting finished with a lightning speed as Silvester needed to go to the temple of light. He was going to stay there, not in the Royal Pce.


    "It was nice seeing you again." Edickart said as he shook Silvester''s hand.


    "Likewise" Silvester smiled as he epted his gesture however inwardly he''s cursing him.


    ''Bastard!''


    Silvester can''t seem to get it in his head how Edickart can sneak a nce at Evelyn every now and then.


    Cabel, An, Silvester walk out from Edickart''s parlor room and Evelyn who was disguised as Adelyn was thest in the group to walk out from there.


    Edickart smiled at her and she bowed, when she walked past him Evelyn heard him whisper.


    "I''m d you''re fine"


    She didn''t answer and just lean to bow again.


    ***


    Silvester and his knight Sir George, arrived at the Temple of Light at noon. Of course, Evelyn and her spirits were with them.


    Gab and Cassandra as well as Sir Erich were left in the house to do some research as well as to guard the mansion if Elise decided to invade again with the use of her assassin and try to kill the "Adelyn" that looks like Evelyn. In short her.


    "Wee, your highness" The bishop who weed them before was the one to wee them again.


    "It''s nice to be here again"


    "It''s our pleasure your highness can stay here and the rest of your knights can stay at the other rooms in the west wing of the temple."


    Silvester nodded and opened the door. Evelyn and Sir George were still with him while Alisha, Chrisfold, Gil, Bern, and Cathy followed another attendant of the temple.


    It was better for them not to be seen by Elise who were familiar with them except for Gil, who had always been together with Evelyn.


    The room was simple yet it also exudes elegance and luxury. It was minimalistic but all the furniture is made from the finest craft.


    "Hmm this room is nice." Silvester praised the room that he will be staying in for the three days that he was here.


    "We are grateful to hear that you have taken a liking to this humble room of ours"


    Silvester just gave the bishop a business-like smile. His signature gesture when he doesn''t want to answer the other person.


    "Then, we would leave you be. The knights can ask this sister about where their quarters will be. I will take my leave then"


    The Bishop gave a small nod as well as the sister that he was with and left them on their own.


    "We have 10 hours before midnight so why not let''s take this chance to rx."


    "That''s a great suggestion." Evelyn replied and plopped down on the couch.


    ***


    Silvester came back after he had a meeting with Elise and Pope Nelson.


    "So, what happened?"


    Evelyn''s yawning when she saw Silvester walk in with a scowl on his face.


    "Well, the "woman" was making moves"


    "And you didn''t like it?" Evelyn was chuckling at the re that Silvester was giving her.


    "You should take a sip of this tea It might help you forget what she''s done."


    Evelyn knew who "the woman" he was talking about. It was obviously Elise.


    Furthermore, the meeting was onlyposed of the high officials of the temple and Evelyn decided to sit back as she needed to telepathically talk to her contracted spirits that were using the elementals to scan the area.


    She was also waiting for Nine who was the assassin turned spy because of her. He said that he made a map of the interior and he will give it on the first day that they are here.


    The rxedpany of Evelyn heard a knock from the window. Silvester and Sir George became rmed but Evelyn just stood up and opened the window.


    A ck clothed man entered like a cat that jumped on the balcony.


    Sir George was holding the hilt of his dagger that he hid under his cape. Swords aren''t permitted to enter the temple if people would stay in their sanctuary.


    "Who are you? State your business!" Sir George calmly said whilst he stands in front Silvester.


    "Stop, he''s with me." Evelyn said.


    She walked to Nine who was silently standing near the white wall.


    "Where is it?"


    Nine didn''t say anything and just handed her a paper.


    "You know that what you did back there is far more dangerous when the Knights of the temple saw you, right? It would be suspicious and can make them think that we were doing something against their back"


    "Which you are" Nine suddenly replied sarcastically.


    "Kid, "We"... not just me"


    "Don''t worry about it. I made sure that the Knights weren''t in the vicinity when I knocked and came in anyways, I need to get out now. Their shift will be over in three minutes."


    "Sure"


    Evelyn turned her head and smiled at Sir George who was bewildered and Silvester who was looking at her in amusement.


    "Shall we start, gentlemen?"


    "I was waiting for you to say that" Silvester replied.


    Soon, the clock strikes at Midnight and Evelyn, Gil, Chrisfold, and Bern are the ones who will go and sneak inside the temple where the statues are.


    "Well, we''re going now."


    "Be careful"


    Evelyn smiled and snuck out from the window after she confirmed that the guards weren''t patrolling. She moved with precise movement and arrive at where herpany was waiting for her.


    Silvester will stay at the guest room with Sir George so as to not raise suspicion. While Alisha, and Cathy will make sure that no one will try to sneak inside the knights quarters and to also to not appeal the knights quarters empty.
