CHAPTER 9

A few days after the robbery incident at Lady Gabby's residence made the entire Spinx kingdom into a scene. This shocking incident made the people very worried about the kingdom's Cold War. Due to the high number of rumours, I almost forgot the Crown Prince's return.

The Crown Prince, who had just returned from his training at the western border for five years, didn't care about the rumours currently circulating in the kingdom. Because he knew for sure, the king would tell him to jump right into the field.

"... So miss", Baba said.

Gabby laughed loudly at what had been said to her. The scheming of the nobles intrigued Gabby. After she laughed came a handsome young man with a firm and dignified face. The man walked over to Gabby and knelt before her.

"Wow, look at this lady. It turns out that she is so obedient to you. Are you so afraid of death again?" Shushu sneered as the man was still on his knees and lowered his head silently.

"Shushu, don't be like that. We depend on him for now," Gabby interrupted Shushu but looked at the man with a smile.

"So you already know what to do, right?" Gabby asked the man.

"My Lady, I guarantee you will get satisfactory news", replied the man, still bowing his head.

"Alright, I entrust everything to you. You come back. If the whole kingdom is looking for you, you will be in trouble yourself," said Gabby.

"Thank you for giving your trust. This is a blessing for me, and then I will say goodbye, My Lady," replied the man.

"Before that, may I?" the man pleaded with Gabby. Gabby spread her left leg to the man. The man approached Gabby's leg and kissed the back of her leg, making the man smile broadly, showing his handsome face.

"Father, how is it, that bastard Riel is trying to rob Lady Gabby. I can't be silent, father. I have to help my future wife," Evan said, panicked in Duke David's study.

"Are you still sane? Didn't you hear what the king said yesterday? I know you like the girl, but if you help her, we are against the whole kingdom," replied David.

"I don't want to deal with him, Evan. We'd better see the situation. The nobles had also followed the king's orders. Tomorrow there will be a meeting of ministers and nobles regarding the incident. You also come to the palace so you can see the current situation, "continued David at length.

"Grandpa, what do you think? Should we help Miss Gabby?" Leon asked Sebastian.

Since Gabriella's departure, Leon immediately lived and followed his grandparents. For four years, Sebastian has helped Leon to find Gabriella, but until now, he has not found a bright spot, which makes Leon almost frustrated.

"Grandfather will help the girl, and you already know who's at fault here, right? Grandpa is confused about Watson. What's going on in his head that helps the criminals?" Sebastian said confidently.

"Come to the girl's rose manor, assure her that we will help her without any reward," he continued.

Sebastian also gave a map of Gabie's residence address. The location made Leon a little surprised because it was so close to the forest of death. Leon, who was finally getting ready to leave, didn't forget to say goodbye to his grandparents.

After Leon left, Sebastian, who lived alone in his study room, closed his eyes, remembering Gabriella when she was a child. Sebastian smiled a little, reminiscing about Gabriella's childhood with him, but he didn't feel the tears flowing. There was a deep sadness he felt when he lost Gabriella.

After a fairly long journey taken by Leon, Leon finally arrived at Gabie's residence. Leon was surprised to see a luxurious pavilion almost close to the palace area. Leon looked around. There was only one guard on guard with the guard's flat face making Leon a bit confused to see it.

Leon tries to ask the guard, and Leon finally gets permission to meet Lady Gabby's maid. Leon also entered the pavilion accompanied by the bodyguard. Leon looked around the pavilion contents, making Leon astonished by this luxury. After entering the room, Leon was left by the bodyguard alone with Scarla.

Leon looked at the girl he had seen when Prince Gustav and Tiana's wedding party made Leon's face blush when he saw the girl's beauty. Even the cold Leon also fell to his knees at the beauty of Scarla.

Scarla cleared her throat, breaking Leon's thoughts. Scarla invited Leon to sit on the sofa and was accompanied by tea and some light cakes.

"If I may ask, who are you, and what is your purpose in coming here?" Scarla opened her voice with a formal tone sounding graceful.

"Sorry I'm presumptuous, miss, I'm Leon Gordan Charlotte. I came here to discuss the incident a while ago, and I intend to help Miss Gabby."

"Call me Scarla, sir. I'm just a servant," replied Scarla smiling.

"Are you sure you want to help Miss Gabby? Has no one heard this conflict is so big and can damage your reputation," continued Scarla.

"You don't have to worry. My grandfather and I stand for what is right. At the moment, Lady Gabby is the one who has suffered the most, so I hope that she will accept my help," Leon replied.

Scarla tilted her head and put her index finger on her chin. Leon saw Scarla, who seemed to think a little strange because Scarla was occasionally muttering.

"Okay, sir, Miss is willing to accept your help" Scarla opened her voice again.

"What? Lady Gabby took it? How could that be? I haven't even met her yet," asked Leon, surprised.

"That's because I told Miss via telepathy," Scarla answered innocently.

Leon, who heard Scarla telepathically with Gabby, made him shocked. Telepathy is a high-level technique. Even Leon himself has not mastered the basic techniques of telepathy. While this servant telepathically with his master easily. Leon was eager to ask where this girl learned telepathy techniques at such a young age considering telepathy can drain a lot of energy for beginners. It looks like Scarla is already a magic expert.

Leon finally understood why Lady Gabby could take such a risky step against the nobles, considering that even one of her maids was an expert like this. As Leon recalled, Lady Gabby still had two more maids, and they couldn't be ordinary people.

"Okay. Then I leave to give the news to my grandfather about our cooperation, "said Leon.

"Master, you don't need to bother. It's getting late, and rest here. Tomorrow let me send some envoys to Grand Master Charlotte's residence," replied Scarla persuading Leon.

Leon also relented to stay at Lady Gabby's pavilion, considering it was already very late at night.
