Chapter 393: Grande Scheme
Things went perfectly as Abrielle had planned. A few days later, she had a letter from Cedric informing her that the war was ending soon. After blocking the information the other party has about Darconia, Cedric and Alfonso worked together to change the entire strategy leaving the other party overwhelmed.
Peace talks were expected to happen soon, although it seems Darconia was most likely going to force the other party under its rule, since they might conquer Sumaria if the talks failed.
Things were pretty tense at the border, although the war was under control, the fragile peace wasn’t going to last long. If Darconia expands its boundaries again, it will threaten other kingdoms.
It has been a month since Cedric left for war, and she has been handling everything over at Vitalis. Recently, she hadn’t heard from Camilla or Cecilia, her hands have her too full with tasks she has to take on as the prince consort.
"The weather is pretty hot today," Abrielle sighed, holding a parasol over her head. Evelyn diligently held it to protect her lady from the sun.
"You need to endure. Once the last batch is loaded we can go in." Evelyn said. They were outside inspecting supplies for Cedric’s men. Although the palace sent supplies to the border Cedric was never going to trust Eleanor.
Abrielle had to make sure everything was in perfect condition. "Nothing seems to be amidst," Abrielle commented taking walking around the food supplies. This was what she was very careful about. There were high chances of it getting poisoned..
"Yes, the suppliers are trusted, and we never use the same route twice, making it hard to track.", Evelyn explained and Abrielle nodded.
"This batch is clean, I think we are done for the day." She mentioned, then turned around, heading towards the main entrance. Evelyn put out the parasol and continued following the princess. Recently, she has been observing that Abrielle seemed more spaced out, as if her mind wasn’t here. She wondered if it was because she missed Cedric.
