Chapter 140: A Ridiculous Idea
DAHLIA POV
"This is a ridiculous idea!" Heather said from where she was busy knitting on the rocking chair.
"Well, I think its bloody brilliant!" I argued as I stared at my masterpiece.
Eddie was dressed in the outfit I wear as the black knight. The rebels had given me an ultimatum to bring the black knight with me to the next meeting and it was only then that they would agree to help me. I couldn’t exactly show up in two places at once, besides I’m already showing and the black knight can’t show up heavily pregnant since everyone assumes that it is man.
The thoughts had kept me up most nights and I knew I couldn’t do this on my own, I needed help. I decided to tell Heather and Eddie about it. While Eddie had seemed overly excited to be playing the black knight, Heather on the other hand didn’t seem too thrilled with the idea and have been trying to talk me out of it since then but I had already made up my mind.
"This is so cool, I mean I still find it hard to believe that you are the black knight but I even find it harder to believe that I would be acting as the black knight!" Eddie gushed, the excitement evident on his face.
Heather groaned as she rolled her eyes but I just clamped Eddie by the shoulder while grinning at him. "Best believe it buddy!" I said which made Eddie grin even more.
Snorting in response, Heather looked up at us. "And do you think the rebels fools to believe that he is truly the black knight?"
"Don’t worry Heather, his face will be covered, no one will see!" I brushed her off and Heather scoffed at me.
"Please, I’m not worried about that." She said then sighed, "I mean for one he looks too skinny to be the black knight and maybe a little short too_"
"Hey!" Eddie protested loudly, clearly offended.
