The Princess and The Assassin #Wattys2016

Chapter 10

As soon as Caleb Isabella's "room", her eyes were wide awake, thinking about the words that Caleb whispered; You're beautiful...I will not let you die....I will protect you.... "But why would he even say that, he obviously took me away for a reason, right? Not just for fun or something stupid. But why would he say that? He will protect me? He will not let me die? Will he really keep all his promises? I hope he will.... and I will also keep my promise to him, I will not sue him to anyone... and I, will also protect him..." Isabella thought.

Back in the palace, some people are still searching for Princess Isabella, even though it's pitch black outside. The only thing that allows them to see outside, are the old fashioned flashlights. Without flashlights, it's very difficult, impossible even, to see anything, let alone, the princess. But they couldn't complain because it's the King's ordered, and they have no idea what he would do to them if they not follow his orders.

"They better find Isabella in the next three days, or else, the wedding, will be cancelled." Queen Athena of England said.
"No! The wedding needs to happen no matter what! They will find her and the wedding will happen." King Louis said, putting his book down on his bedside table.
"But what if they didn't find her?" Queen Athena asked, sobbing.
"Just trust me, I can handle this, I will make sure that our daughter will be back her with us safe and sound."
"And even if she is found, but wedding will still be cancelled." she pleaded.
"No! The wedding is going to occur. This is our only chance to be allies with America, and really be on their good side. Just what if there is a war in the future, I would not want to lose, and I do not want my country to be destroyed, by America."
"Is that what you're really concerned about right now? Not if your daughter is dead or alive?!"
"I am. I am very worried and I wanted her to come back to us and I really miss her..." The King said.
"What do you mean you miss her? You rarely spend any time with her.  Do you know what, our child told me that the last time you have spoken to her, just you two, was when you were telling her about the marriage, 5 months ago. Also, she asked me, "What does dad not like me? What did I do to him?" Now tell me, do you really miss her?" she asked.
This time, the king was silent. His mind was lost in everything she had said. Was I really a bad father to her? I don't think so. She must've been just really nervous for the coronation and wedding.
"The wedding will still happen, and I will talk to Isabella about that." the King said and went to bed.

Caleb woke up, checking his clock, it's 7:48 am. He got up to go to the kitchen and Isabella some decent breakfast. After a few minutes of getting started, the robot said "You have a visitor" in its very familiar voice. Caleb wondered who could be, but he still let the visitor in. The door swung open, it's Mr. Jones.
"Good morning Caleb. What are you doing?" he asked.
"Good morning sir. Oh, I'm just fixing breakfast for the Princess." Caleb answered.
"Job well done. Keep on being nice to her.''
"Why? I'm being nice to her because I want to be nice to her. I'm not that kind of person who is nice because he was told to. I'm a genuine person."
"I know that, but I have a plan, that's why we kidnapped Isabella, right?"
"What's the plan?" he asked.
"Let's just say that it's more of a revenge plot." Mr. Jones said and left the house.

"What does he mean by revenge plot? Getting revenge from who? But how is he going to get his revenge?" Caleb thought to himself, while cooking breakfast.

As soon as he finished cooking, a few minutes later, he knocked on Isabella's door and asked her to eat breakfast. They breakfast together, Caleb did the chores, and they both sat on the living room.
"Mr. Jones came in here earlier." Caleb said.
"Really? What did he say? Anything about the plan?" she asked, anticipating for the answer.
"He did. But he said, he would like to call it revenge plot."
"Revenge plot?"
"That's all he said. He just left and didn't give me a chance to ask him about it." Caleb said.
"I guess there's only one way to find out. And that is to wait." Isabella said.
