Loving Him Was Never Part of the Plan
chapter 2 : enemy (2)
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Smiles faintly* Okay, that’s enough. Now… let’s talk about something more serious
Evelyn Rosemont (SC)
*Looking at Arabella* What now? I thought Frank was the end of it all… wasn’t he?
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Shakes head, face serious* No. Frank was just the beginning
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
I believe Ginson’s Empire is plotting something
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*Frowning, confused* Like what? An assassin? That’d be dumb
Evelyn Rosemont (SC)
*Nodding in agreement* Yeah, that would be dumb. It’d be like sending an assassin to a den full of assassins
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
I don’t know yet. But I believe they’ll try to take the countryside first. They’ve even stationed armies nearby
[The tavern falls silent]
Lucien Everhart (SC)
*In awe* Really? But… that wouldn’t be a smart move, right?
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
I’m not sure. We did win the battle at the—
members of Yomadon's assassin
*raising his beer* Yeah! We already won! Let’s celebrate our victory first!
[Others laugh, smile, and drink their beers]
Evelyn Rosemont (SC)
*Looking at Arabella apologetically* General, I’m sorry. They’re just so happy you caught the traitor
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Soft smile* It’s okay. Let them celebrate
[Evelyn smiles and joins the crew]
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*About to step away*
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Walks closer, whispering* Can I talk to you in private?
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*Smiles knowingly* Why not?
Arabella walks ahead, Cedric following a few steps behind
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*Speaks quietly* So… what is it?
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Turns around, meeting his eyes* I lied. They haven’t stationed any armies
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*studies her carefully* Then why did you—
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Whispering* Because I believe there’s an assassin among us
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*Startled* An assassin?!
Cedric Valerius (SC)
From Ginson's empire?
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Sharp glare* Shh. Lower your voice
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*Leans closer, whispering* So… Frank wasn’t the only one, huh?
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*nods* Yes, I don’t know who it is, but—
Cedric Valerius (SC)
Wait, You’re telling me this because… you don’t think it’s me?
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
I trust you, Cedric. I know you’re not the one
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*Sly smile* Good thing. If you suspected me, I’d be sooo angry *pretends to pout cutely*
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Rolls her eyes* Please…
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*chuckles* Yeah, yeah, too much
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Serious tone* Anyway, I want you to keep an eye on everyone. Be suspicious
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*Raises a brow* Even Evelyn?
Arabella Montclair (fl original body)
*Nods firmly* Even Evelyn
Cedric Valerius (SC)
*Grins, teasing tone* Sure thing, boss
The two return to the tavern.
Evelyn Rosemont (SC)
*Hands them each a beer* Come on, join us, General!
She passes them their drinks before heading back to the dance floor with a bright smile
