Assassin's Creed: Secrets

Chapter 11

The man was dressed in royal guards armor making me tense a bit as he just stood and stared at me. Arno also tensed carefully moving me off his lap so he could stand protectively in front of me.

"What do you want?" Arno questioned defensively almost having a slight growl along side his words.

"Calm down pisspot it's just me. Here put these on." He sighed throwing a second guard outfit at Arno and a dress at me. I clumsily caught the dress and Arno caught everything but the helmet which hit him in the chest making him growl and Pierre laugh.

I went into the back room and changed into the dress. It was nostalgic wearing a dress like that-it brought back memories from when my dad and aunt were still here.

"You look lovely darling! *Tout simplement magnifique!" My aunt said in her usual chipper tone as she circled me. I remember feeling awkward wearing a new dress she made me-the first dress she had made for me. I was about eight years old at the time.

I spun around in the newly made green dress and loved how the skirt danced around on the floor when I spun. My father walked over and picked me up having his rare happy smile. I loved to see him smile but after that day he didn't smile very often.

"You look lovely, Lilliana. *La fille plus jolie que je pourrais jamais demander." My father said as he spun around with me in his arms as we both laughed as he danced around the room with me.

I had my eyes closed before taking in a deep breath smiling at the memory of dancing with him in the dress my aunt made. But now there would be no more dances and no more of my fathers rare but wonderful smile.

I sighed looking down a bit now having the dress on. It was green with white frills and thin pink bows. It was a beautiful dress but it still made me sad bringing up the memories of my now passed family.

I hadn't even noticed the door open so when someone wrapped their arms around my waist I flinched and elbowed him in the stomach making me yelp as he coughed. It still effected him even though he had armor on. I quickly turned around making the dress lightly twirl to see Arno bent over at the waist holding his stomach.

"Oh, my love I'm sorry I didn't know it was you!" I said as I kneeled down to face him gently kissing his cheek before helping him up. He chuckled a bit then smiled at me gently raising my chin and kissing my lips.

"I never knew someone so beautiful could pack quite a punch. I'm just glad you didn't hit any lower." Arno joked which made me laugh and he laughed as well.

"Would you two come on? We do have a schedule to keep pisspot!" Pierre yelled from in the other room making Arno growl and I giggled.

"Coming!" I called and quickly went out receiving an annoyed groan from Arno since he was obviously in the mood to do something other than go to a party (if you know what I mean ;) ).

All three of us walked out of the art shop with Arno shutting the door and we all piled into a carriage before the coach began to guide the horses toward the palace where the party was being held. I just hope no one will recognize me or it will cause I problem for both me and the others.

All I can tell for sure is that Maximillion De Robespierre is going to meet his end tonight. By either my hands, Arno's, or Pierre's. There is no escape for him now.

{Tout simplement magnifique = simply beautiful
La fille plus jolie que je pourrais jamais demander = The prettiest daughter I could ever ask for.}
