The Return of the Female Knight

CHAPTER 22

The day after the tea party.

The actions of Helen and her henchmen at the party soon became widespread gossip in southern society. Rumors that Margaret had forced Helen and Sarah into her plan, but every level-headed person knew the culprit was Helen. Margaret was a shy creature.

But no one mentioned it openly. Helen is backed by the power of Marquis Selby. Elena's name also passed through the mouths of many people, but she refused to get involved in it. There was only one thing he cared about.

That's how the Crown Prince visited him.

"He won't be making an official royal visit to Blaise's castle, will he?"

Carlisle and Elena both privately and publicly had no contact with each other, but the official visit made no sense in many ways. Prince Carlisle was a war hero and heir to the throne, and his movements were closely watched by the rest of the world. In addition, all the public was in excitement for her first performance at the dance. Even in the southern part of the country, droves of carriages were prepared to bring countless nobles to the capital. If he were to visit Elena, he would definitely attract attention.

He was just waiting for a message, but soon he became worried that something had happened in the meantime.

“Get me a train. I have to go for a minute. "

It would probably be best to go out and give Carlisle a chance to get close to her. The waiter standing next to her, Mary, immediately replied.

"Yes, my lady."

A jealous expression flashed across Sophie's face.

"I'll help you get ready to go out."

Elena glanced at Sophie. He was the servant who protected Elena when she went to save the crown prince. Apart from the rewards in gold, Sophie has since started acting arrogant. Elena disapproves of Sophie's behavior.

"No thank you. Mary will take care of the arrangements. "

"Yes, my lady."

Sophie looked at Elena with an annoyed expression, while Mary became preoccupied with preparations. Elena ignored Sophie's gaze and allowed herself to be groomed with Mary's gentle gestures. Elena had to overcome Sophie's attitude one day, but now her mind was filled with thoughts about Carlisle that she had little time for anything else.

He had no idea in what way Carlisle would arrive, but of course he would have at least one guard with him? He decided it would be best to make sure he knew where he was and met him outside. It would be safer than Blaise Castle where there were many eyes watching.

"There will be knights here escorting you, so please wait–"

"I won't go far, so I'll go alone today."

"Ah, but Miss–!"

Elena quickly stuffed herself into the carriage and the coachman turned around.

"Where, Miss?"

"To the main road."

He had to go to the most crowded place where it would be easy to find him.

After arriving at the main road, the busiest in the south, Elena told the coachman to pick her up again at night and send the train back.

Not long after walking down the street, he noticed he was being followed.

'… Is my prediction correct?'

He hoped that if he wandered the busy street for a while, Carlisle would show up.

The problem is, however, there are more than one or two followers. Why are there so many?

TN: I'm not 100% sure, but I assume he went to the castle town around or adjacent to Blaise castle
