Chapter 4 - Only chess pieces

Lyra: Well i dont know what could i say, because It doesn't depend on me but in my family.

Jane: I agree. I can't do much about the decisions they take

Millie: Ladies, we have being together in this partnership for almost 2 years. So I will speak with you truthfully. I am aware that we are able to delay the time of our engagements but I can't see that you are trying.

Jean/Lyra: *taken back*

jean: 'what is she saying? even if we could she shouldn't say it like that, so blunt...unless she knows ...no ...

Lyra: 'her character was like that? I know she is a little bossy but...at this extent letting fall her facade'

Jean: even if it's true that I am not doing anything to prevent it. I think that Lady Millie is aware that some mathers are impossible to stop after all it's my father who make the decisions.

Lyra: I agree. and I don't think it has something to do with our porpoise

Millie: I am not sure about that, our partners aren't silly so they will find evidence. And also I am not sure that if both of you ladies are aware of the eyes that are seeing you.

Lyra / Jane: *shocked*

Millie: and I don't intent about mine but about those of our fiance.

Lyra: you knew.

Jane: ...

Millie: ohohoh, ladies don't tell me that you don't know about your eyes in my house, right? We are business partners right ?

Lyra/ Jane: *staring*

Lyra: *sighs* At this point I suppose there is nothing to say, to be sincere I don't want to be a pawn in my father's hand

Milie: 'hm that it's something' . I think it's a thought that we have in common, right lady Jane?

Jane: ...*sighs* ladies what are we saying here it's more than we can take and dangerous. *staring millie* is this place safe ?

Millie: i make it secure

Jane: it's that so, if that is the case I will tell you what I truly think.

Millie: *nods*

Jane: Lady Millie I don't know how you had lived in all this time but I can say this, your life it's very different form mine. I had to be perfect since I opened my eyes ...that was my motto, perfect for our house perfectionist for the family; but with time I started to understand something, not mather how perfect I could be or how superior from my brother I am, I can't be more than that only a daughter in our family. A chess piece on my father's game; I though I will became that piece, but a very special person told me that being a piece it's okey because if you are a pawn you can became the queen itself, that help me to get stronger and to accept your invitation for this cooperation. So if you are asking me what I didn't do anything if because I am preparing my own plan to get out of that game.

Lyra: 'that it's ...these women, I already respected them but to have this mentality in these times. I don't know if I should be grateful to have this alliance with them. And her words it's something that this girl also thought . I should make a move too'

Jena: 'I don't know if I did the right thing but they are my only option now. At house I can't act alone I need a support now I only hope that they accept this'

Millie: 'They seem to be more open-minded that what i thought. Lyra is thinking about it too'

Lyra: I think it's my turn now.

Millie / Jane: *surprised*

Lyra: hm ? hhoho well it's true that my family it's very permissive in a lot of thing but that it's only on the surface. in reality I am forced to do a lot of things and marryig is one of them , I don't have control of myself in my house and I could only befriend you because of your background and regarding the engagement I only find it a form of liberation. I will have my house where I could have everything under control. well this is my answer.

Millie: ' these girls have guts, I though her (lady millie) family was terrible but they are not that far'.

I am very thankful to both of you for your honesty. so I will say my part, it has to be fair.

Actually my engagement with the prince was decided since long but I didn't know which one ...*sighs* at the end was the second, I am not very sure why him myself thought. So I was raised with everything a princess need to know or even a queen. *sharp glance*

Lyra/ Jane: *shocked* Lady Mil--

Millie: oh don't worry there is nothing sure. but well you can see that freedom was a word I dont know very well. Well the point I wanted to arrive it's that I will help you to be free.

Lyra/ Jane: *shocked*

Millie: hm? hoohoho you thought that i will never say something like this? well ladies it's funnier and more exciting to be the players than the pawn right ? *smile*

Lyra/Jane: *shudder*

Millie: hoohoh I see that you agree for your smile

Lyra: *cover her mouth* ' wait what happened? she ...she'

Jane: *smiling* 'she remember me of Millie' *chuckle* well it's true that I don't oppose but I want to know you plan

Lyra: I think so too

Millie: slowly ladies step for step, first I want you to return to your houses and think about your own plan, in two days there will be a party at the palace. understood? * smile*

Lyra /Jane: YES MA----

Millie: *blinking surprised *

Lyra: 'ops I almost slip it but it's so similar to her, but lady Jane why she ?

Jane: 'millie...no no it's not her, *glazing at Lyra* but her ...

Lyra: hm? *smiling*

Jane: *smiling* But Lady Millie is safe to speak about this at the palace ?

Millie: yes don't worry I have a place ready

Lyra: ' you have a space? at the palace? she is more intriguing than what I thought' well so I should trust lady Millie and go along

Jane: 'just how much large is her net' I will do what you say Lady Millie

Millie: well I am thankful for your trust, I will bid farewell now

Jane: *standing up* well it was a profitable reunion

Lyra: *standing up* likewise so farewell lady Millie

Millie: *nods*

while they were departing Millie'eyes rested on theirs backs

Millie: such girls were born to be protected *smiling*
