Chapter 247: It’s Just Us Left

[The ingredients we need have finally arrived and it is time to execute the plans. You have just a few days to find the prince, and seduce him else the drug loses its potency. Dispose of the note properly when you’re done ~~ yours truly Rosa]

The blood drained from Islinda’s face as soon as she read the note, strength leaving her body.

Well, fuck.

As if her day couldn’t get any worse.

She hadn’t encountered Rosalind over the past days either and assumed, maybe, she had given up on the plan too. If only Islinda knew she had only left to acquire the stuff they needed. The Fae took advantage of the chaos recently to make her departure without drawing suspicion.

With her initial confidence and desire gone, Islinda became scared now that the deadline was drawing near, and the reality of the situation set in. By the gods, she had to seduce and drug Aldric. What if their plans fail? Islinda gulped and felt her throat, sensing the dark prince’s phantom throttle. One thing was for sure, Aldric would not stop halfway this time, he would surely murder her.

Perhaps it was the fear running through her, Islinda stared across her locked room warily, suddenly safety cautious. She tore the note into pieces and thought of hiding the mess under her bed, yet was not satisfied with the idea. What if some bored Fae staff, like the ones who regularly clean her room, decides to restore the note?

Most of the female Fae who worked in Aldric’s castle were gossips and Islinda would not be surprised if one snoops around enough to find the pieces. Islinda then thought of tossing the bits out through the window. However, it crossed her mind that Aldric’s spies, the Ravens, were still around.

She had no idea the extent of Aldric’s ability or influence over the birds. What if they picked up every bit and sent it back to him? Islinda groaned, what did she do in her past life to deserve this? What had Rosalind been thinking about asking her to dispose of this?

Left with no other idea, Islinda picked the pieces and molded them into a ball in her palm before tossing it into her mouth and beginning to chew it. Islinda pulled a long face as she chewed on, hoping this didn’t become their regular means of communication. She couldn’t chew more paper till they successfully executed their plan.

Grimacing as she swallowed, Islinda poured out a glass of water which she used to flush the whole thing down her throat. She then braced herself against the table and shut her eyes for a few minutes to catch her breath. Her heart wouldn’t stop racing out of both nervousness and anticipation.

Islinda scratched her neck, then rubbed her belly, it felt kind of weird. Really weird. Surely, she wasn’t going to die from eating pieces of paper like some goat, right? Also, was this ordinary paper or some Fae enchanted one?

If this method of disposal backfires on her, does Zaya have some kind of way of extracting the paper or would she have to do it the normal way?

By pooping.

Islinda waited a while but nothing happened and she thanked the gods for it. Islinda doesn’t want any more complications in her life than as it was right now – unless of course, it draws Aldric’s attention and he finally makes an appearance.

With the plan now clear to her, Islinda made up her mind. If Aldric wouldn’t come to her, she would go to him. He can’t stay away from her forever. Islinda flung her door open with determination and nearly ran into Aurelia.
