What? The? Heck? Me? I'm the target? Shut up!
"Duke Claude, Calla, As you can see, Earl Gavino has moved. His goal was to eliminate Calla, not Duke Claude."
My eyes shift from Father to Duke Claude then to Father once again. "What does that mean?" I asked.
"That means that you are the one who should be killed that day." Duke Claude said.
"Wait! Why me? They couldn't do that! I am after all the Duke's Daughter and not only that! I am 5th in line to the throne of Telbia! If they harm me then that means..." My eyes slowly widen as I looked at my Father. Father nods at me when it suddenly hits me.
"They wanted both kingdoms to be at war." Duke Claude completes what I have to say.
They wanted grandfather to declare war against this Kingdom. Before Mother marries Father, He swore that anyone harms Mother or us his grandchildren, it means that they are declaring war against him.
If that happens, Both Telbia and Seiya will be in ruins. Who could be Earl Gavino's Backer? Is he the mastermind?
There are many reasons why they wanted me dead. One is I am the granddaughter of the powerful King of Telbia. Two, I am Duke Claude's Fiancee and Three, I am a pest in their plans. They couldn't move their chess piece for I am the queen on the board. Earl Gavino's Backer...I remember it in the novel. I know that he is a powerful one but who is he?
Think Calla! Damn it! You forgot that you are not the original character of this story! You were once a reader!
I slapped myself very hard.
Father and the duke kept on talking about how to make their move but then I remember something. I was about the next Villian after Duke Claude's Death!
That's it! That's it! I remember a name! "Father, who is Florence DeVilla?"
Father and Duke Claude's eyes widen. "Why would you asked for the 2nd Prince of Fou?"
