Chapter 24

CELINE'S POV

"Hello, Emma, I've got good news." Celine crossed her legs on her bed.

"Oh, please share, darling," Emma squealed.

"Well," I jumped out of bed, "I took your advice, and I apologized, so Ashley kinda trusts me now."

"This is getting interesting, go on."

"So I kinda set up one of the maids, which happened to be Ashley's favorite. I believe it would force her to lean on me."

"Okay, that's cool. What was the fate of the maid?"

"She was supposed to be thrown into the dungeon, but Ashley pleaded, and she was assigned to be the woodchopper."

"Okay, that's fair. Now, go and recruit her."

"Recruit her? How?" My curiosity was piqued.

"Yeah, you can spin the narrative and make Ashley look like the villain, then it would be easier for us to achieve our goal," Emma explained.

"Cool, then I need to head to that immediately."
