Chapter 7 - Deal

*the following day*

"Where exactly did you say alley is?" Nick asked.

"We'll be there in a sec" I replied.

"You are really talented Iz" said Alya.

"Yes" said Nick "to get involved with the prince you must have a lot of talent"

"Yes... sorry" I answered in despair.

When we got to the alley we saw two people there.

"Shouldn't it just be the prince?" Nick asked.

"Maybe they are tricking us" Alya said and put her hand on my shoulder "Let's go before they notice."

I quickly answered "Yes, we shoul-" "Little squirrel" Chris appeared behind me, he's fast!!!

"I told you, you wouldn't be able to escape me" he whispered. Shot!

"Oh, I see you brought friends" Chris said with a sweet and sickly smile "well that's fine, I also brought a guest" and pointed to the person he was with.

The person turned around... This is– "Princess Amilia" Alya said.

"Ding ding ding, you have got it correct!" said the princess with a charming smile "you thought that I brought someone how would hurt you little squirrel?" The smile switched into a devilish one.

"..."

...

"Amilia" said Chris "I want you to come with me tomorrow and meet someone special"

"What happened? Did you get someone pregnant?" asked Amelia "is she at least from a royal family?"

"of course not!" Chris said angrily "I have found a cute squirrel that I wanted to show you, it might be useful"

"???"

...

"So this is the little squirrel" Amilia thought to herself "very interesting..."

"Soooo what did you decide?" Chris asked me with his beaming smile.

...

"There are rumors that the queen is trying to kill them..."

"–remember they are called the devilish twins for a reason."

...

"...I will be your spy" I said "But! I won't kill anyone!"

"No problem" said Chris "so the only thing left is to make you some Duke's daughter"

"and why so?" Alya asked suspiciously.

"So you can marry me of course" said Chris with a huge smile.

what???

"What?!", everyone was shocked except for Prince Chris.

"I want you to be my fiancè (what don't you understand?)" said Chris with a sweet smile as always.

Ugh, I'm about to throw up...

*at Alya's*

"You can't marry him!!!" Nick said angrily.

"She has no choice! Otherwise he will throw her in jail and who knows what will happen to her there" Alya said, still trying to process everything.

"Don't worry" I said "the agreement is only that I will be his spy, when he decides that I have finished my job he will have no more reason to keep me and he will let me go"

"But who knows if he will really do it" Nick said.

"We'll have to wait and see," Alya said in defeat.

*at the Duke's house*

"Are you completely crazy?!" Amilia said angrily, "Why the hell would you marry a commoner?"

"What's the problem?" said Chris innocently "You always told me to follow my heart"

"(very funny) well we'll just go with your bullshit" said Amilia angrily "But, how the hell is your little squirrel going to help us with our problem?"

"That little squirrel is the key we've been waiting for," said Chris.

"That doesn't answer my question" said Amilia.

"You'll see" said Chris, "but first we need to make a high society lady, she must be high enough to marry me" he said with a smile and looked at Amilia.

"And... you expect me to do that?" Amilia said.

"Yes" said Chris with a smile.

"One day I will kill you and leave nothing behind" said Amilia annoyed.
