If absolutely must read the disclaimer, it is in chapter 1 & 2

Review, reviews, reviews, the more you do, the better I do.

In response to your review, Beckers, regarding Marguerite and Locke, why not?

Chapter 3

"I have an offer for the lady".

"We are a team, if you need her, you need all of us" With Locke's hand firmly wrapped around her shoulder, it was clear they were partners in every sense.

"Very well. I fear there is an assassin within the court who wishes to see His Majesty dead".

"And you need us how?".

"The King will need a bride. There will be a series of balls in which we hope to find an appropriate bride. I was hoping that Marguerite would pose as a prospective bride, until we can find a real bride" George explained.

"How do you my name?" she balked.

"I know many things. In fact, if you agree, not only will you both be compensated fairly, but your actions over the past few years will be expunged from the court records and you, my lady, will be granted complete rights to your father's property and monies".

"She has no need for the values of the hypocritical aristocrats".

"If we take your offer, my lord, we want an agreement in writing that you will state that we are innocent of any and all charges and we will be paid in full" Marguerite demanded.

"Of course, I shall send over a messenger by tomorrow".

"We want it now" Locke placed the paper and quill with ink before George.

"How much money will you be needing?" George asked, counting the coins after signing the two documents.

"We will take half now, and we will expect half later and you will pay us when the job is complete".

"Understood. My lady, I look forward to your presence at the ball".

In another part of the kingdom, Ned was wandering. He had yet to leave Roxtonia's borders; he had only one thing on his mind, finding the woman named Veronica.

In the distance, he saw a ball of light land next to a tall tower.

"Veronica, Veronica, let down your hair" Danielle called out.

Veronica lowered her long blonde hair down and Danielle climbed into the small window. Watching from the bushes, Ned knew how he would get inside.

Sorry it's so short, but I had to move the story along.

As any writer knows, reviews are the best way we know how our work is judged. So, therefore, I ask kindly to take a moment out of your hectic day and write a review.
