The Divine Gifted

5: The Servant

10 pm

Flynn walked down the dark hallways of the palace. He was following Christopher, who he believes could be the source of the info he needs.

He followed him for a while. Being an escape master, he perfected his walking so his steps were barely audible. Even the most trained criminals can be outsmarted by stealth.

"Christopher!" A man wearing the same uniform as Christopher walked up to him, "The king wants 20 baskets of bread by morning."

"By morning!?"

"He wants you to make it because they often come out good if you do it."

Chris sighed, "I'll have them out at 6 am."

Chris kept walking as the other man went another way. Flynn followed him through double-doors to a massive kitchen. There was a giant window, showing the royal gardens. There was a high ceiling and plenty of counter space. He made eye contact with Christopher, who walked to a counter.

"You...... YOU! What are you doing here?"

"Hello, Chris. It's nice to see you too," he replied sarcastically."

"Get out! I'm busy."

"Can't I just sit here and watch you?"

Chris looked at him, uninterested. Flynn chuckled slightly as he spoke.

"I'm here because I have a question."

"What? Do you want more chicken?"

...

"Yes, but that was not what I was going to ask."

Christopher kneaded the dough, "Beat it! I have work to do."

Flynn sat up on another counter as Chris worked.

"So~, Chris."

"IT'S CHRISTOPH-" he sighed, "What?"

"What do you know about the princesses."

???

"Any information I should know about them that maybe they won't tell me."

Chris put down the dough, "Okay, fess up!"

"Huh?"

"Clearly, you have another motive here than just watching princesses. You're Flynn Law, so you're in the mafia. Mafia don't do anything without a reason. Whatever you're planning, you better spill."

...

"You have guts to be giving me commands," Flynn grinned, "If I do, you're going to be at my mercy. Is that understood?"

Chris nodded.

Flynn hopped off the counter as he walked towards Chris, "One of the princesses here is a gifted. My boss wants me to figure out who it is."

"And?"

"Kill them."

Chris's breath hitched as he bit his tongue, "How will you know?"

"The closer I get to each of them, the more I'll be able to sense them. Gifted can sense other gifted when they share a bond."

"Do you know who it is?"

"All I know is it's a female."

Chris went back to kneading the dough, "There is one more woman here. She's currently in the dungeon."

"I see. Chris, I want you to tell me everything you know about the princesses."

"And help you kill one of them!? Not a chance, Flynn!" He spoke angrily."
