“Allen!”
He turned.
“Be nice and share your toys, I know you brought them here,”
The boy’s cheeks turned scarlet red, other than that, he smiled at her saying, “Be safe, sis,”
“I’ll always be,” Isabella said, a sensation of joy filling her heart. Her brother cared about her? Maybe it wasn’t that bad to have more siblings.
So Isabella went to find Prince Judy or Kai. Whatever, she didn’t really care what he answered. She knew his quarters and how difficult it would be to enter his place, especially with the tension tonight. Moreover, there was no way to know if the guards stationed there worked for Albert or not.
“Stop there,” The guards commanded her as soon as she approached his door.
“Who are you and what do you want?”
“I’m niece to Lady Emily and I wish to speak to her,” her aunt and Judy shared a room. She was being cautious by not mentioning Judy trying to know if they were loyal or not.
“It’s late, you should come back tomorrow,” the other guard waved her away like a kid, and Isabella wasn’t bothered by it. Sincerely, it was better they underestimated her, that way she would have the upper hand when it was time to strike.
“I’m sorry but it’s important,” Isabella pressed.
“As I said, go home! Miss Emily is resting,” the other guard insisted.
Isabella smiled, knowing it was time to draw them out. If they were genuine, they would let her in, but if they weren’t? They would try to subdue her.
Isabella knew they wouldn’t hurt her. She was a guest and hurting one of the guests means they were bringing another war on themselves. Most of the guests here were aristocrats and important personalities.
So Isabella spoke like a spoiled brat, “Fine, since you don’t want me to speak with aunty, I’ll call her then. Let’s see if she’s asleep as you claim,” she pulled out her phone as if to make a call.
Isabella made out the subtle changes in their aura even before they moved. They were Albert’s men – he had his people scattered.
The other tried to grab her from behind but Isabella pretended to pick something from the ground and the man tripped over her, falling straight to the ground. His partner’s eyes grew wide as he tried to comprehend if this was intentionally or not. However, he still lunged at Isabella.
“Sorry, but I’m too lazy lately,” Isabella said and brought out a device strapped to her waistband, electrocuting the man till his legs could no longer carry him. He crumpled to the ground.
The other man recovered and pounced on her, unfortunately, Isabella had the wits and agility. She easily dodged his moves and stunned him in the end. He collapsed in a heap on the floor.
Isabella opened the door to Judy’s quarters and saw two guards knocked out coldly – they must be the original guards. But she ignored them and went into the bedroom and there he found Judy on the floor, gagged and his hands bound behind him.
He made a noise when he saw her but Isabella’s gaze trained on the figure on the bed. She gasped when she realized it was aunt Emily and there was a trail of blood on her forehead.
Is she dead? The thought made her sick to the stomach. No, it couldn’t be.
Isabella forced herself to press her finger across her nose and relief flooded her body. She was still alive.
Thank God.
But why?
Either Albert realized killing Emily was starting wars with the Sparkss or he wanted to kill her himself. Either way, he was going to pay mightily for this.

The third point of view:
“Your siblings were right?” Judy muttered as Isabella helped to untie him.
“Yes, they were but your mother was too blinded by commitment,” Isabella muttered while undoing the knot.
“She just has a kind heart,” Judy made excuses for her.
“A kind heart that is about to doom your kingdom,” Isabella snorted, finally setting him free.
“I suspected that Albert was up to no good. I have investigations planned already, just didn’t expect that he would strike this soon,”
“The man is smart. The accusation from my siblings put him at a corner and he knew he had to attack now when?your defense is low,”
Judy nodded in understanding and was about to carry his wife when Isabella stopped him, “No, leave her,”
“Leave her?” He wasn’t pleased with that.
“Albert’s men are already on the move, if I’m not mistaken, they’ve broken in already. Although they were prepared, the notice was impromptu hence they would need to gather their forces, you should stop them before they reach the ammo room – they would take some of the weapons and burn down the rest, “
“That’s the plan. They want to incapacitate us – at least what’s left of my men. I don’t even know who to trust anymore,”
“You don’t have to worry about Aunt Emily, I’ll take care of her. Just go and do your work,” Isabella said, yet added immediately, “At least get her on my back before you leave,”
Judy’s mouth dropped open, “Are you sure you can do -“
“We don’t have time anymore, just do it!” She hollered at him and Judy’s feet moved into action. He carried Emily off the bed and carefully placed her on Isabella’s back.
The instant Emily’s weight landed on her back, Isabella felt as if her waist shifted out of her body and she staggered a bit. But the girl gritted her teeth and steadied herself before standing upright, piggybacking her aunt. This was a national emergency and her aunt’s life was on the line. She had to do this.
Judy felt pity for Isabella, he knew Emily was a burden – she might look petite but she weighed a ton – but the girl bravely carried her as if she was lightweight. Although she pretended to be strong, her little stumbling gave her away.?Fine, after this was over, he would reward her immensely.
“What are you still waiting for?! Move your ass out of here!” Isabella boomed at him. She knew what he was thinking – she could see the sympathy in his eyes. But she, Isabella, doesn’t need any pity. In this life, everything she does was of her free will and decision.
Knowing that Emily was now in safe hands made Judy breathe in relief, now he could focus on exterminating those betrayals. Watching Emily get hit was the worst nightmare he had ever experienced.
