Chapter 142: Secret Operation
Mr. Ed got in through the back door and entered the kitchen. He couldn’t see who got hurt since everyone was on the other side of the counter, but the smell of fresh blood was overwhelming. His heart stopped as he heard Sally speak.
"Did she bleed out? Is there a pulse? Hey... Wake up! Oh.. The ambulance is here... " Sally got up to open the front door as she could hear the wailing siren from the ambulance outside their home.
"Your Highness!" Mr. Ed ran towards the end of the counter and supporting himself with his hands, peeked from above the counter.
"Sir Robert, you’re here!"
Talia who was crouching beside Stacy now in a pool of blood stood up and her face twisted seeing the blood on her pants. Seeing Talia perfectly safe other than the blood of Stacy on her, Mr. Ed was relieved. He needs to investigate what happened to the guards he stationed along with Amy to guard the home.
How did this Stacy get inside the home? They had a bounty on her head. Someone protected her and brought her to this town? Who might that be?
"Do we want her alive?" Gulping the inconvenience she felt by her pants wet with blood around her knee and legs, Talia asked Mr.Ed who himself looked relieved.
"No need, we know who she is," Mr. Ed said looking at Stacy lying on the floor in a pool of her blood, seemingly not breathing.
"Well! That’s settled then. Sir Robert, I’ll be expecting a rundown of the events this evening after I clean myself up. And..." Talia darted a glance at Stacy, "She took my place today. Give her a proper burial," saying this Talia walked out of the kitchen and went up the stairs.
She met with Rebecca’s father and mother on the stairs and felt guilty for involving them in her mess. She decided to apologise to them later. For now she just wanted to change her clothes soaked with blood.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Mr. Ed acknowledged her orders. The Princess doesn’t want her alive!
