Chapter 185: Let’s be friends (1)
Annalise got as far away from most of the crowd as she could to watch the knights out on the field.
She did not want to miss Rafael beating Christian, and at the same time, she hoped that being out in the open like this would allow Thomas to spot her easily.
Knowing Thomas well, he might have already seen her when she first arrived with Rafael and was coming to her now.
"All this excitement just for the king to not come," Annalise sighed.
With nothing happening in this town, it only made sense to move on to the next town which would be Lockwood. Thomas was ready to leave, but Annalise wasn’t. She was so close to the Callahan knights, and being Rafael’s maid should have her hearing more from the palace or the border guards.
She was lucky to be present when he spoke to the border guards and heard their awful plans. More guards could come again and she would hear what they had to say. When they travelled to Lockwood, it would not be easy for her and Thomas to get into the palace as easy as it was for her to find work in Rafael’s manor.
"Should I leave or stay a little longer?" Annalise asked herself. Thomas would be of no help since he wanted to go. "I need a sign from grandmother. What should I do?"
"Do like what? What do you need to do? Why do you need to always be near that man?"
"Good morning to you too, Thomas. You know, you are good at stalking. Should we make a business out of that here?" Annalise asked, looking away from the knights to Thomas. "My oh my. You are dressed a bit fancy today."
