Chapter 8 - Engagement

*at the alley the next day*

"Here you go" said Amilia and handed me a stock of papers, "from now on you are Violet Mareliya, you are the duke's daughter of Mareliya".

"Isn't that a bit suspicious of some noble lady to show up from nowhere and claim a whole town?" I asked, "besides that, why are there three more characters in here?"

"The part of land that you will be rolling was abandoned by the royals. There should be no problem with you appearing there as the daughter of the land's successor. probably." she said, "and you asked me for three more side rulers, you and your friend wanted to go together so I added them in. Thanks to that it was easier for me to you build you a legit family."

"I believe we asked you for two extra characters not three." I said confused.

"I asked her to do this" said Alya.

"So who is your third party?" Asked Chris while looking over behind us.

"My good for nothing ex boyfriend, Rick" said Alya, turned and pointed at Rick who was standing at the start of the alley.

"Wait why is he joining us?!" Asked angrily Nick.

"We talked and decided that he should take part in this situation." Alya said

"What do you mean?! He disappeared for two years without telling us before!"

"Nick, I know it's annoying, but believe me its better that way." said Alya.

"I am really happy that you came to help" I said to Rick.

"To be honest, I didn't want to come, but Alya threatened me that if I won't she would have cut my trout."

"It's partially your fault that we are in that mess to begin with. Take responsibility!" Said angrily Alya, me and Nike noded in agreement.

Chris and Amilia stood by watching this unfold, Chris was chuckling as if he watches his court jesters.

He is really annoying...

"We need to make sure there are no problems with her character, she needs to be as perfect as we can make her." said Chris.

"Yea yea I am on it" said Amilia, "but just so you know, she asked to add her friends to the mission"

"..."

"This can really screw up things, when there are more people involved the more thing might go south" continued Amilia.

"...Let's do as she please" said Chris and walked out of Amilia's room.

"Be careful brother" said Amilia.

"What is it?" Asked Chris, and shifted his gaze to her.

"Dont let a woman walk you over."

Chris was stunned from her comment.

"But you were doing that all our lifes" he said smiling.

She looked at him for a second before saying, "Yeah right..."

"Alya" said Rick and whispered into her ear.

"Your highnesses " said Alya, "I think we should go to a better place and explain us our rules there".

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Rick said that the streets are starting to fill up so we should get out of here fast before someone noticed us." Said Alya and took my hand.

"Let's go home." She said.

*atAlya's*

"Now listen" said Amilia, "Alya and Rick are going to be the duchess, Camilla Mareliya and the duke, George Mareliya who Inherited the land from his great-great-uncle Theodore Mareliya."

"Won't he would want to keep his land?" Asked Alya.

"That's not a problem" said Amilia, "He died a year ago and mostly kept to himself, so no one really know who Inherited the land nor do they care."

"What about me" Nick asked.

"the squirrel and hotheaded boy are going to be the young masters of the mansion, Violet and Alexander Mareliya" said Chris.

"You know that we have names right?!" Nick said annoyed.

"Yea I know but I believe they are a sensitive topic." said Chris with his devilish smile.

Nick looked at him confused.

While all I could think is how much I wanted to tear that smile apart.

"You will have a trust worthy bottler" continued Amilia, "all the stuff at the mansion are brand new and are not from around there so they won't know anything."

"All you need to do is to manage that mansion and try to build up the population at your city to make you look powerful in front of the nobles." said Chris.

"How would that make us look powerful?" Asked Alya.

"You will see" he said.

They are giving us the least amount of information they can.

"We are gonna make sure that you will succeed. " said Amilia, "When you will have the people just make them stay there".

They were about to leave, Chris turned around before walking out the door and said, "Ho and you might need a warmer clothes" and pointed at our clothes.

???

"And why is that?"

...

"They did not tell us we will live in the freezing mountains!!!" Said Nick.

"This carriage make me fill nausea..." said Rick holding his mouth shut.

"Hold it together" said Alya chewing on dry meat.

This is the worst.

"Alya" I said remembering something "who is keeping your shop working?"

"Ho, I left it for Lin to run" said Alya, "he was so excited, and I told him to take in Adam and James just in case they will get in trouble when you are not there to help them out."

"Thank you Alya" I said.

*beforegoingonthecarriage*

Amilia and Chris came again now dressed as commoners.

"How bad are the guards at the duke's mansion that those two can get away so many time?" I whispered.

"Says the one that snucked inside. " Alya replied and got into the carriage.

"Squirrel" said Chris "We will meet again soon enough, don't miss me to much."

"Believe me I won't." I said annoyed and was about to get to the carriage but he grabbed me by the arm.

"What are you doing?!" I said and tried to free my hand with no success, he tighten his grip and hugged me.

"I don't like repeating my self to much so now listen carefully. Don't try to do anything funny, I will know." He said.

"..."

"Have you got what I said Anna?"

I punched him in his face and made my way to the carriage.

"Iz, your face is bright red" said Nike worried.

"Live me be"

"What has gotten into her?" Said Rick.

"You will need to learn how to act like royalty" said Amilia to us, "so we asked Alfred."

"May our lord be with you" said Chris as straight as a line.

I am glad I will be apart from him for a while.

...

"What were you two doing?" Asked Amilia.

"I just gave her a kiss goodbye. " answered Chris.

"I thought I told you to not full around."

"Ho my dear sister" said Chris, "I just made sure she won't betray us"

"..."

"Yet you got punched."

"Is it that obvious?!"
