Chương 269: Can I not expose my secrets some more?  

"You really know how to do stuff don't you?" V inquired, just outside the throne room.

"I did watch too many movies –" And yes, for once in my life, I was very proud of that fact. 

"This way, you're majesty." A maid led the way. V and I followed. I thought we weren't probably going to get warm reception but I guess I was wrong. 

Then again this maid was Beatrine's. So, this probably had more to do with the princess than anyone else. 

I actually kind of forgot the maid's name.

"Be on guard," V whispered.

"Always am."  But this went a lot easier than I thought. Almost too easy. "Say, do you think-" I tried to whisper. 

"They probably expected this and most of their replies were predetermined," V whispered back fast.

Yeah, I thought as much. "Wait, doesn't that mean-" Well, it sure meant a lot of things.

The maid stopped and smiled. "We're here."

And we'd arrived.
