Sent's Escapade

''What about the maid?'' McGuire did not take Larry seriously just yet.

''I said, there's something off about her, the butler too but the maid especially.'' Larry peeped into the room where Macy was, she pretended to be so busy, meanwhile she was eaves-dropping on what Larry was saying to McGuire.

''I think she's from Persia. She said something like that if I can recall. But the butler is a Magus native, I'm sure of that.'' While McGuire was telling Larry this, Larry's eyes popped open in shock.

''Persia?'' Larry exclaimed.

McGuire nodded. What's wrong with that? Not everyone from Persia is a bad person, it's just their so-called Prince that has ambitions like his predecessors. Persia is a fine place.'' McGuire was dismissive. After McGuire finished speaking, he started to walk away while Larry looked at his back intensely.

''I have a bad feeling about her, but as usual, you will say I am over reacting, so I'll let it slide. But I think you should keep an eye on her.'' Larry spoke to McGuire while he was walking away.

''Okay Prince Larry.'' McGuire rolled his eyes, drastically sure that Macy was just an innocent Persian and nothing more.

'We have to act fast.'' Roger, as soon as he had another opportunity to talk to Sent, told her about the urgency of their action.

''They are beginning to suspect me, I know. I will sneak out at night and get the poison.'' Sent told Roger and they decided that they would never be seen together again since their closeness had started to raise eyebrows.

Later that night, just as planned, Sent left the palace.

''I have to see a family member who was brought to Magus due to a special sickness. Only the traditional doctor in Magus can heal her.'' Sent told the servant at the gate of the palace when she was asked why she was leaving the palace.

Yes. The palace was so sensitive that hardly anyone that entered that palace was allowed to leave again. The palace had everything that everyone needed, so there was no need to be outside, except in special cases like the one Sent presented to the servant at the gate.

The servant looked at the time.

''Isn't it rather late? Why did you have to wait until now?''

''You know fully well that the union is around the corner. The work load in the palace has increased so much, what time do I have to do any other thing?'' Sent lied. She sniffed herself dramatically, just to paint a deceptive picture of how busy she has been.

''I even stink. I have not taken a bath yet, just because. Please, I need to make it out before it's too late to be outside.'' Sent's urgency was beginning to be so intense, the servant at the gate of the castle had to let her out.

''Don't stay out too long. If Mr. McGuire finds out that you went out and are not back past midnight, I will not speak for you.'' The servant let Sent out soon after.

As soon as Sent stepped out of the Vandersar palace, she felt a breath of fresh air flowing through her lungs.

''Finally, some real breeze.'' Sent had been suffocating under the disguise of Macy in that Vandersar palace. Her disguise was so intense that Sent had to bed forward just so that she could appear as lowly as possible, you know? A maid who has been so engrossed in serving others through out her life, she had developed a bad back.

As soon as she was far from the palace and was sure that nobody could see her again, Sent stood upright and started to walk quickly towards her destination.

After walking for about thirty minutes, Sent got to a small cottage, and when she knocked on the cottage door, someone peeped from inside the cottage and appeared to recognize her at once.

''Sent!'' The voice of a young man could be heard calling Sent in a familiar tone, and as soon as Sent entered the cottage, she hopped on the man and started kissing him.

''Oh, Lucas. I've missed you so much.'' Sent mumbled as she sucked on the lips of this young man.

''I missed you too, my love. I heard you were in Magus, but I doubted it because it is unlike you to come all the way here and not visit me as soon as you arrived, even when you tarvel with the Prince.'' Lucas kissed Sent back as desperately as she was kissing him.

''What are you doing here by the way?'' Lucas broke off the kiss and asked Sent, only noticing her weird makeup at that time.

Sent rolled her eyes.

''What's with this hideous make up on you too? You look different.'' Lucas dressed back to give Sent a closer look.

''What am I always doing anytime I leave Persia? Of course I am helping that spineless bastard, Bane clean up his mess.'' Sent resumed kissing Lucas again, then she suddenly stopped.

''Lucas, I came for a reason and I have to hurry back to the Vandersar palace before they spot my absence.'' Sent started to look around Lucas' house.

''You live in the Vandersar palace? With the Princes?'' Lucas was shocked to hear that his girlfriend had found her way into such a sacred palace.

Sent nodded with pride.

''The union, are you not aware of it?'' Sent asked Lucas.

Lucas nodded.

''Everyone in Magus is looking forward to the day. It's in three days, I guess.'' Lucas showed Sent to a seat while he got her ale to drink.

''Well, have you forgotten that Bane will be challenged if the Vandersar and the Usylon family are united?'' Sent reminded Lucas.

''Wait a minute? Is the lady that is having the union with the triplets an Usylon? I thought they said that the Usylon family has been cut off forever!'' Lucas yelped in shock while Sent smiled creepily at him.
