Chapter 4

- You will have your room next to mine, Milly was informing Dorian, her new assassin, once they reached the palace. I want you to be almost invisible, so to say. Don't draw unnecessary attention. Always be ready to answer my call.

- Yes, my lady, Dorian answered bowing his head. No worries, I will be as silent as a shadow.

- You'd better be if you don't want to become a shadow, Milly whispered clenching her teeth. You'd better not disappoint me, little man…

- No, I won't!

- Your main objective for now is to follow my step sister, Lizzy, and inform me every evening of everything she did during the day.- That's it? Just follow her?

- Yes, for now. And when the right time comes, you will get rid of her, of course. But for the moment, all you have to do is follow her everywhere she goes, learn her habits, learn everything you need so when the right time comes, it will be easier to kill her, ok?- Ok my lady! And Dorian bowed his head again.- Ok, you can go to your room now and start tomorrow. Have some rest now, I for one surely need some rest. Don't forget, you will inform me every evening of her whereabouts.

- Sure, my lady, have a good night! And Dorian entered his room and locked it behind him.

Milly was more confident now than ever that her plan would

eventually pay off. Dorian seemed reliable and capable, in spite of his small stature. But looks can be deceiving. This time she didn't want to take any chances. It was better to plan everything in detail than fail again because another attempt on her sister would mean her own end this time. So this time she decided to learn everything about her first before ordering the strike. It was either her or Lizzy. There was no middle way. And she didn't like to lose. So Milly started taking notes of everything Dorian was feeding her, everything Lizzy did and everywhere she went. In the meantime, she was trying to seem friendly towards Lizzy, trying to fool everyone. But there was one person she couldn't fool: Gabriela. Although she was young again, her soul was old and she was no fool. She could read Milly like an open book, she could see that she was faking. So she opened Lizzy's eyes regarding Milly, put her on alert when it came to her.

Gabriela knew that Milly was a threat to her own peace too, as

she couldn't stand the fact that her father, King Harold, was still ruling the kingdom instead of her. And of course that he was finally happy and remarried. But Gabriela wasn't afraid, it just meant that she would have to be extra careful with Milly because she played dirty and Gabriela was

afraid that Milly might still have something up her sleeves.
