Chapter 173: Little mouse
The halls were quiet, the time was already past midnight. The sky had cleared up a bit since the storm, and the moon could be seen, although it was not completely full. It will be in a few days.

Abrielle didn’t know exactly where Callista’s room was, but she overheard Evelyn when she was talking to Elias that the priestess’s room was on the royal wing because she was a guest of the crown prince.
Well, there was a short story for that, Callista was receiving death threats which Lucian suspects to be from the castle but later in the book it was a grander scheme related to her roots from the temple but that isn’t Abrielle’s story so who cares definitely not the villainess that was walking aimlessly down the halls.
"It should be around here," Abrielle muttered; it seemed like she had done what she was best at: getting lost. But she was sure this was where Evelyn mentioned. The east wing then make a couple of turns, or did she miss a turn?
Regardless, she still continued; she didn’t want to return to her room yet. From a distance, Abrielle heard voices she found familiar coming from the next turn. It was the queen, and Normally Abrielle would not want to get involved with anything related to Eleanor, but the villainess’s interest was intrigued when she heard Cedric’s name being mentioned.
"This is getting harder than I imagined. I should have gotten rid of the mouse when it was still a baby." She heard someone say in a hushed tone, which Abrielle recognized to be Eleanor.
She was whispering to her ladies about how Cedric had blatantly insulted her in court earlier and the fight that happened today.
They were coming closer, and Abrielle was certain that it would be trouble if she was seen, so she searched for the nearest door.
