Chapter 6 - She is an imposter

" Geoff! Geoff where are you?" Beyer continued to scream and searching for Geoffrey.

"over here Beyer, c'mon be fast I caught a whitetail deer". Geoff said out loud squatting with the animal he caught when he was looking for Beyer.

"Where the fuck have you been Geoff? you made me worried sick, you have no idea how worried I was". he said walking over to where Geoffrey was squatted.

"I was just checking the place out when something else caught my attention, but it's a long story though, but when I came back you weren't there anymore, so I kind of decided to look for you which in the process I saw a deer and decide to hunt". he said trying to defend himself, not sure if Beyer believed his story.

"There is something quite fishy about this story of yours, but that's by the way let's get going it's about getting dark and your Mom and mine might be worried sick". he said pulling the deer up.

"Okay ... that's okay, but you shouldn't tell my mom I left you all by yourself and wandering the forest, ple...ase". he pleaded with a cute puppy dog eyes when Beyer turned his back at him.

"okay, but you gat to promise never to abandon me like that ever again, and stop with those looks of yours". he said trying not to smile.

"sure, I promise to never abandon you like that ever again, but for the looks no promises". he said teasingly.

"Alright, whatever let's get going". Beyer finally said as they took the meat heading back home.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Lancelot asked the girl in a none quite impressive dressing.

"I am Azzura Helma, I am here to apply to work as the princess's servant". Azzura stated drastically.

"Take your left, when you reach the garden". Lancelot pointed out after observing her. she quietly entered following the instruction given to her, as she was entering she saw many others going in and the other coming in, she was the last of those going in, she was a bit anxious not knowing what she would be asked inside in order to be selected, when it was her turn she entered in confidently although still feel a bit anxious. After many questioning from Agatha, she was chose by Agatha as her personal servant.

"I would really want you to be my servant, if you so wish because I'm ain't gonna force you over it". Agatha stated awaiting her response.

"Of course your highness it will be a great honor to serve you". she replied falling to her knees.

"I will prefer you address me by my name Agatha". Agatha said really not use to the 'your highness' of a thing.

"It will be a disrespectful and an insults to your position, your highness". she replied still on her knees, Agatha signaled her to stand which she did.

"What about going with the position then? address me as my princess or my lady then". Agatha said not expecting an objection this time around.

" As you wish my lady". she said trying to kneel once again but Agatha held making her not to.

"Go get your things, I will be in the garden". Agatha told her, she bowed before leaving the room which made Agatha smile.

"She is really polite I think she is good". she said to herself before heading to the garden. With time, Azzura and Agatha became very much close that it's quite hard to know that she was Agatha's servant. their mutuality became strong like that of best friend to that of sisters.

Cane has really been keeping an eye on Azzura since the day she stepped into Augruviel dynasty.

"it seems like you will be my master key seeing how close you are with the princess". he said to himself with a smirk.

As time went by Azzura's behavior suddenly changed, first she threatened a knight on duty and wanted to pick a fight with the best swordsman in the dynasty if not with the interference of Agatha. Agatha dragged her out of the training field in dismay.

"What has come over you lately you haven't actually been yourself for a while now and why all the nuisance lately? father called me the other day complaining about you, what's actually your problem?" Agatha asked in a distressed tone.

"I didn't mean for that to happen Agatha, I think I'm just stressed out I should go get some rest". she said leaving Agatha In a confused state not even giving her a chance to speak.

"Agatha? did she just addressed me by my name?, she has never done that before even when I asked her to not even once. this is really getting creepy and strange, something is really not right". Agatha thought but still couldn't solve the puzzle.

Ezzie entered her room and locked it, she walked to the mirror but the reflection in the mirror is quite different from Azzura's appearance, the image on the mirror show's a lady in her 50's whereas Azzura is 25, she smiled notoriously covering the mirror with a piece of cloth.

"This isn't the first time I'm taking someone's form but why is this really difficult, I really need to get the work done before I get caught, before that I have to get rid of that Azzura of a girl, but how?" she thought before she heard a knock at the door, she walked to the door and opened it.

"My lady it's you, do you need anything? she asked anxious.

"Not really, I'm here to see how you are doing". she said looking around the room trying to fish out what's going on.

"I'm feeling much better now so do you want me to do anything for you? let's go then". she said trying to make her leave.

"Are you ousting me from your room?, by the way why did you cover your mirror with this cloth?" Agatha asked pulling off the cloth, Ezzie rushed to cover it back but before she could, Agatha caught a glimpse of her real appearance but pretended not to have.

"don't worry about it my lady I love it this way for a while now due to too much light rays". she lied, Agatha nodded slowly not wanting to show how scared she was and made to leave the room.

"I will be in the garden". she said leaving the room not sure what to do next. Ezzie took a deep breath thinking she wasn't caught.

" I'm lucky she left this time what about next time?" she said trying to relax.

"Sir Lancelot, the girl in Azzura's room is not Azzura, she is an imposter, and I think". Agatha said reaching out to Lancelot.

"What do you mean my lady" Lancelot asked confused.

"just come with me before she discover I have found out, I drew out a cloth covering her mirror but her reflection on the mirror is another person not Azzura, she's not Azzura, because Azzura usually make my hair in the mirror and her mirror was never been closed like that".she explained.

"Alright my lady, I will come with you". Lancelot said following her back to the room. Ezzie was still about to leave the room when Lancelot and Agatha arrived. she tried to escape sensing that she is exposed.

" ( ignaize)" Lancelot chant's as she was circled by flame, she tried moving but each moment she does it burns her up.

"My lady, his hurting me help me out". she said in pain trying so hard to pretend more.

"I am not your lady where is Azzura?" Agatha asked in an angry tone, Ezzie refused to speak which provoked Agatha making her increase the length of the flame. Ezzie screamed out loud in pain like being bunt alive.
