Villainess Becomes The Knight

Chapter 34 - Less Impactful Than Tiny Girl!



"But, step mother…" I started in a mocking tone, "I can prove it."

"How would you do that?" asked Isabella, breaking her silence. She was looking a bit panicked and I smirked.

"Of course, I have my father\'s knight\'s present there. They would not lie to me or her, as they are afraid of their father." I said and her panic increased.

"Mother, it was not like that. I can explain. I was not ready to go because the play was very good, not because I was waiting for the crown prince." she blabbered and I raised a brow as I looked at my step mother. She was more foolish than I had thought.

"Do you want to ask anything else.. STEP MOTHER ``I asked and she clenched her jaws and glared at Isabella.

"You stayed there because of your mistakes. Go to your room and wont come out until called. I am disappointed in you Isabella, you should not lie about your elder sister." she replied and I smirked.

"I think you are forgetting one thing!" I replied and their steps halted.

"And what was that?" she challenged me, as if I would quiver.

"Apology!"

"Oh, it was a mistake on Isabella\'s part, you don\'t need to apologise dear." she replied with a smile and i chuckled.

"I am talking about Isabella apologising from me for defaming me, making a scene in the morning and disturbing my sleep and making a scene" i said and they looked at me stunned.

"But.."

"I think Abigail is the right mother, Isabella should not lie," said Nickolas.. Sigh.. did he think that the lady did not know! I was sure it was her idea from the beginning!

"Why did I say something wrong?" I asked and Isabella puffed her cheeks looking aggrieved at her mother.

"Isabella, apologise to your sister."

"But mother"

"I said.. Apologise" her voice turned authoritative and Isabella shepherd.

"I apologise for my mistake, Abigail." she replied and i nodded, for now this much drama was enough.

Isabella left with tear filled eyes as if she was bullied. Only if she knew that this was just the start!

"You both are family Abigail, you both should be more friendly and supportive to each other. Pointing at each other wont do any good to you." she said in an amiable tone as she patted my shoulder and i nodded.

"By the way, stepmother. Where have you ordered the dress?" I asked and there was a crack in her amiable face.

"Why, you did not like the dress, i can order another one for you if you do not like it" she said and i shook my head.

"No, it was a pretty one, step mother. I want to order a few one in the future too."

"Oh, is that so. I will ask Lily to provide you with a proper address later. Now you both sit and talk. I have work to do" she scurried out from there and I just shook my head.

"Where is father?" I asked Nicholas as he was looking at me with pensive eyes.

"He came in the early morning but left within 2 hours. Apparently they found a fake knight in a royal place which created an issue. That was the reason father was not able to be with you." he said as he looked at me and then at the distance where the mother daughter went.

"Abi"

"Yes, Nick"

"I know that Isabella is not at all mature and step mother is partial towards her. But try to maintain your distance and avoid them. These arguments give father a headache" he explained and I sighed.

"It is not necessary to always be good, nick. I tried alright. But just to make peace, I will not bear the injustice anymore. You are too soft hearted and moreover you never became the centre of their mocking and bullying. So you better stop them or do not expect from me to be goody two shoes all my life."

"I just want some peace. It is not like father believed them. We both know that you bully her too." he added when i did not reply.

"Nickolas, do you not miss your mother? How could you give her place so easily to someone else. And expect me to do so too? I apologise, but I can not. I love you brother but I do not agree with you here.`` I replied as I stood up.

"I love you too sister." he added with a sigh as he followed me.

We both had lunch but did not say a word to each other. I could see he wanted to but looking at my cold eyes, he kept his mouth shut.

"Are you going to train the page?" i asked and he nodded,

"I am coming too."

"You know that father had denied you training before you were alright. And you are getting training as a squire not a page" he replied and I nodded.

"I would just wait and see others. I many learn a thing or two from observation.\'\' I replied and he relented.

"Alright, but no practice." he reminded as we both walked out.

What he did not know, I have a more important task right now is to convince Carl to help me.

That idiot would not agree so easily so I would rather start early.

When we reached the training ground, squares were already there practicing and running.

I sat in the gazebo where they mostly have lunch and Nickolas joined them. My eyes were searching for one particular face in the group of men.

"Come on Mathews, your strikes have less impact than that tiny girl. Show some strength." My jaw clenched when I heard his voice complimenting me or mocking me! That crude man!

"I will surely tell you how tiny I am, you crude man, once I get all my memories I will make sure to beat you to the pulp." but then a strange thing happened, when i saw him striking surprisingly those all tricks seemed familiar to me.
