"There has been some rumours about me. You've heard of them right?", Austin asked.
"Yes.. sir."
"Well... Do something about it."
WHAT THE HECK! It was me who spread the rumours in the first place (not exactly, Pris did...)!! And now I am assigned to remove them? The plan still needs some more time to be completely executed... What am I to do?! If I dont do anything I'll be suspected...
I later told Pris about it.
"Lol", she grinned.
"Lol?"
"Ehhh don't think much about it..."
"Ok I won't think about 'lol', now tell me what we have to do next."
"I said, don't think much about what Austin said. I didn't mean about 'lol'..."
"Okay... Then what is lol?
"Oh my god!"
"It means 'oh my god'?"
"NOOO!! You know what, just forget it."
"How do you forget something after learning it?"
Pris stared at me. I gave her my biggest grin ever possible.
"Are you acting stupid or are you really stupid?"
I let the problem of rymours be. Well, it didn't really end well...
"WHY ARE THE RUMOURS NOT BROUGHT DOWN YET?!", Austin roared.
"I tried convincing people, but it didn't go well... I should come up with a better plan..."
"Then do that! What do you think I hired you for?!"
Priscilla is the only person who can help me with this... Augustus too, but his methods are rather a little repulsive.
Though he acts dumb and stupid in front of Pris, he is really smart and has a crafty nature. You should see his face when he isn't in front Pris!! He doesn't really hide his true self before me. Maybe, he believes that I can't do much about it... There's not much of a difference between his two personalities, but you can be sure you would lose if you scheme against him (not that I tried).
He somehow finds it funny when Pris calls him "stupid". Why would anyone want to be called stupid?! In fact he could have overthrown Austin without our help... Quite astute I know!!
Well, why not check some of his deceitful methods? He might be able to help me... I decided to ask him for some advice...
"Oooohh!! Austin's scolding youuu!! That's great!! Enjoy!!", Augustus gave me an amused grin. I gave him back a smile which I made sure looked fake.
"Would you please-", I started.
"Ohh I get it! You want my super skilled brain to think of some ideas for you to-"
"Exactly!"
"Hmm but it work only when needed. Right now it's not necessary.", He said with a voice full of fake concern.
No, he's not mean... Just a little narcissistic. He finds it funny when you get a little irritated. Still, he's really kind. Especially when you are desperate, he'll be willing to help. Which is fine I guess.
Austin, he's another thing. He's as deceitful as Augustus (family full of foxy people). He'll easily find out the masterminds and their plans. I am sure he has already started to suspect me. That's why he assigned me to clear of the rumours...
"Oh please help me Augustus! I am a soldier and I can only fight straight forward... I am not as skilled as you are in scheming!!"
"okay, fine... Since you begged me, I am willing to help you..."
