Chapter 14 "A Secret War"
Gain had declared a secret war on Mia. Now what did a secret war with Princess Mia entail?
I can fix this. I can get my honor back and beat the Princess. I can make things like they were. I will win. I will be king.
Now all he needed was a plan...
I just need to get rid of the Princess. Gain was nothing without the Princess. If I take her away he will be nothing again. Though a little skinny on details—Gain now had a plan.
Well, I could just kill her. He thought about killing her.... but, then he reconsidered. I may not be Abel, but I am still a warrior. My first kill should be on the battlefield, fighting a worthy opponent. Whatever the Princess is, she is still just a little girl. I will not kill a little girl.
Wow, that sounded almost noble. Good for you Prince Gain!This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Yes, I cannot kill the Princess—she`s not worthy of my sword.
Okay, maybe not that noble, but it`s a start.
Besides, I don`t think Father wants a war with Tearmoon, and I am not ready for a fight with Abel.
Oh, forget it! This guy is as hopeless as ever.
If I could just split those two up! That would be enough. Then everything would go back to the way it used to be. I just have to play nice for a little while. Get close to them. I just have to be patient...
Of course, Mia had no idea that she was in a secret war with Gain—it was a secret after all! Besides Mia had other plans...
I knew Prince Gain couldn`t be all that bad, he is Abel`s brother after all. And, then he apologized to me—I really didn`t see that one coming! Still, it`s just sad that the two boys can`t get along. Well, It did say in the Saint Mia Chronicles that Abel had some sort of falling out with his family and was never allowed to return home. That`s just tragic! Maybe if I can just get the brothers to just talk to each other, they could start getting along. I`ve stopped a plague and two civil wars—this is just a disagreement between brothers—it can`t be that difficult to fix—can it?
Well, Princess Mia, considering that you are at the heart of the `disagreement` between brothers, this could be a very difficult one to fix—very, very difficult, indeed!
