The Ace's Revenge

Chapter 21: Winter's Ball or Axel's Fall? (Willow and ?)

Sure, Maybe this is going too far. But I really don't think it is. We've been plotting everything out in the room we got at a Stable Inn. Explaining what we were going to do and how. Savie and Annie we're attending the event together as a young couple. Sammy and I went as siblings of the Moshwen family and then Luna, Mari and Max went from their family, (Surprise!!) the Hugnet family.

I wasn't used to the feeling of a dress. Let's be honest here, as someone who has worn tunics, trousers and boots almost their entire life, the soft feeling of a dress is not normal. Look I would totally recommend it to a princess but not me.

I had my daggers at my ready hidden under part of the dress. I wasn't taking this revenge as a joke. Why would I?

"So we can go have fun?" Savie asked us, I nodded.

"I'm fine with it, just don't get lost..." I told them.

"Annie, you know the code and call if you get lost." Sammy explained to her before we started walking into the event. I took Sammy's arm. Even though I had been playing the role of a man, I was raised like a lady. Taught to take a man's arm when it was offered. He was most likely raised as a gentleman.

We took a breath then headed in. Most knew Sir Moshwen who was Samuel's father. I didn't realize so many also knew my father's name. When asked we told the person we were from the Moshwen family.

We danced, talked and had a good time honestly. If only I could find-

"Well hello!!" A voice told us, it was younger. About late 20's. He looked it too. The black hair, Those damned blue eyes, The decaying youth. It was Axel. Oh, did my anger burn.

"Hello, your highness. We're the members of the Moshwen family. This is my sister through a family affair" Samuel explained as I did a small curtsey and shook his hand since he offered it. I had makeup to cover my Kafka (hehe).

"It is nice to meet you and I am honored your highness." I said with a slight bow of the head. Wanting to rip his ass to shreds. I wanted him fucking dead, now.

"Ah, Young sir Moshwen. Your father spoke a lot about you." He told Sammy.

"He did?"

"A lot. Always saying how proud he is of his son and his wife's daughter. What's her name?"

"I'm Willow." I told the young king.

"Ah. I see. He said you were from," He took a pause "Kiharn."

I froze.

"I am. Well I was. I moved to Skarika before the war." It was a lie but hey, it worked.

"The war? Child, it was no war. It was an act of betrayal from my friend and forth I attacked back. Dear Maverik and his son Mason. They both deserved it. I'd do it ten times again if needed." He said back, I tightened my grip on Samuel's arm. I was seething and wanting to just kill him now.

"What did Lord Rays do?" Samuel asked the tyrant of a king.

"Well he had stolen my horses and part of my armory. He had also made his entire army invade my kingdom, I wouldn't let that slide. Therefore I attacked and killed all his people, him and that stupid son of his." I HATED AXEL. I SWEAR TO ALL THE GODS I WILL KILL HIM AND SEND HIM STRAIGHT TO FUCKING FENTRIN!! (pretty much double hell [joke] or tartarus)
