Chapter 174: A grand scheme
The priestess was still squatted on the floor. Abrielle was puzzled, wondering who the hell the priestess was talking to.
"The queen will be mad if she sees you run along now and leave." The priestess cautioned that Abrielle was plunged into deeper confusion soon; she felt something running over her leg. It was an actual mouse. She almost screamed but bit her lips to hold it in.
The priestess chuckled lightly, "Who are you talking to, your holiness?" A soft voice asked, drawing both Abrielle’s and the Priestess’s attention.
It was the lady in waiting. She approached the priestess with a frown etched between her brows. "No one in particular. The weather is a bit chilly." The priestess made up an excuse, getting up on her feet.
The lady nodded then turned away. "Hurry up, the queen is waiting. We have important things to do after this." the lady in waiting grumbled walking away. The priestess clicked her tongue, annoyed at someone who obviously wasn’t Abrielle, and then walked away.
Our little Villainess was more puzzled. Did they not see her standing against the wall? There was no way she had turned invisible.
Abrielle moved away from the wall, her confusion written all over her face. "I am sorry for taking a long time. I had to close the window." Abrielle heard the priestess apologize to the queen. Abrielle moved from the window to hide within the shelves but her legs suddenly stopped moving when her eyes fell on a polish jar.
Her gaze stuck on a polished jar illuminated by the soft candle lights. There was no reflection. She stood in front of the jar, but there was no reflection. To confirm her doubt, she walked towards the window where the image of shelves was reflected, but there was no image of her.
She was invisible; her eyes went wide in realization; she had no idea she could make herself invisible. "Do you know how hard it was to kill his mother? The relief I felt after she died during birth." Eleanor chimed in and reminisced about good times. Abrielle was struck, Eleanor had a hand in Cedric’s mother’s death.
