Part 14

Edward stormed into the suite that he shared with his daughter. He found her laying on the sofa looking at some gossip magazine.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Yelled Edward

"What are you talking about father?" Asked Tessa

"We have to be out of here by the end of the week! Because you are too stupid to get that shit head of a prince under your control!"

"What?!"

"Tessa, the King is throwing us out!"

"Why?"

"Because, the prince wants nothing to do with you and the king won't force him!"

"You don't think I haven't tried to get in Max's head? I have there is something blocking me!"

"You can't even seduce him!"

"He won't look at me!"

"Well, we have to come up with another plan to help Kivar."

"You know Max seems to have his eye on that stupid street rat human."

"Really? This might workout for us."

"What do you mean?"

"Tessa, there is a law that states if the heir to the throne marries out side of the noble lines then she must pass both a loyalty and purity test. Where that law does not apply to you. It would to this human slut."

"I don't understand."

"If she proves not to be a virgin or that she is part of the rebels out to bring down the Royals she would be put to death. That is where you would be there to comfort the heartbroken prince."

"What makes think that he would turn to me?"

"You really are stupid girl aren't you? He will turn to you because you are the only one that will be there!"

"If we have to leave then how will I be there?"

"Just leave that to me. But for now we will do as the King wishes and leave. I will come up with the plan to get back in the King's good graces. You just be ready to be by the Prince's side when he finds out that the street rat that he has his eyes on is nothing but a dirty whore like every other human."

"I understand father."

Edward and Tessa kept talking while their maid slipped out to find someone to tell what those two were up to. As she made her way down the hall she ran into Princess Isabel.

"Princess!" Said the maid as she dropped to her knees.

"What is it?" Asked Isabel

"Lord Harding and his daughter are planing something. They are planning on helping Lord Kivar to destroy your family."

"You work for them right?"

"Yes."

"So you know you are risking your life by informing me of this."

"I know this."

"Why are you doing it?"

"The truth is my mother was a human that worked for Lord Harding, there came the night he forced her into his bed. I am the result of that night. He has denied me as his child and made me a servant to my half sister. If he could get away without paying me he would."

"You will need to tell my father what you heard."

"I understand."

"What is your name?"

"Ava."

"Come with me Ava."

Isabel lead Ava through the palace to her father's office.
