Revealing The Con-Woman
The tension in the Vandersar palace was so intense, Roger started to feel uncomfortable where he was even though he did not know what was going on yet.
''Sent... Madam...'' Roger suddenly left his room in search of Macy aka Sent because he wanted to be sure that there was nothing amiss. The man was not feeling alright at all.
''Madam...'' Roger continued to call out for Sent, little did he know that she was under the scrutiny of the Princes, as well as McGuire.
By the time Roger took a turn around the house, he eventually found out that the reason he suddenly started to feel unwell was because, indeed, something had gone wrong.
''Who are you?''
''Who sent you?''
Roger saw Prince Larry and Barry glaring at someone who knelt in the center of a small circle formed by them as well as McGuire.
Mr. McGuire had woken up?
Roger quickly hid himself as he immediately realised that trouble had broken out.
Sent had been caught.
Roger almost peed himself at that point. Did McGuire catch Sent trying to kill him?
How did she end up on her knees in the middle of everyone including the man that was believed not to wake up from sleep until the next day at least?
''Woman, if you don't start talking, I will empty my bazooka in your skull.'' Larry was stark raving mad because he now confirmed his gut. He had been right all along.
''My... My name is Sent...'' Sent started the confession by saying her real name with hopes that everyone will know who she is without her having to declare the fact that she was Prince Bane's girlfriend.
McGuire, of course, was the first to know who owned the name, Sent.
''Wait a minute. Wait a god damn minute.'' McGuire stepped back and looked at Sent closely, hoping to get a thorough look at her features. It was then and only then that he started to see Sent for who she was.
Her face looked so chubby and full, she looked nothing like what a maid should look like. Sent looked very well fed and wealthy. The glow on her skin started to make sense to McGuire who thought she was just blessed with clear skin and nothing else.
''Bane sent you to destroy us, right?'' McGuire asked Sent, jerking her up from the f=ground and staring directly into her eyes.
''Prince Bane you mean, and yes, I do all the dirty work for him so you should not be too surprised that I am here.'' Sent showed no iota of remorse after being caught in the act.
''Who is she?'' Barry asked McGuire with a low voice as he tried to understand how Prince Bane came into the matter.
''My Prince, this is the famous girlfriend of the Prince Of Persia. You must have heard about the woman by his side that carried out the most drastic and ruthless decisions against the eight kingdoms, including all the murders that has happened in the last four years. She is the person responsible for everything.'' When McGuire explained who Sent really was to the Princes, Larry became to angry and landed a heavy slap on Sent's face.
''You worthless bitch! How did you find your way into our palace? Have you no fear?''
''How did you enter Magus without anyone recognizing you? McGuire, how come you did not identify her at once?'' Barry was shocked to his bones just as much as Larry was.
Ask for Margaret, she was suddenly so afraid, she hid behind McGuire.
''Margaret, come and hide behind me, let me see who will dare to even take a glance at you.'' Larry pulled Margaret away from McGuire as he spoke.
''Come and hide behind your husband. I am your husband, I will protect you.'' Larry shielded Margaret away from whoever she was afraid of.
While all this was ongoing, Roger made sure to stay out of sight even though he also made sure to listen to every thing that was being said so that he would not be taken unawares.
''Let's just kill her, McGuire.'' Larry hated Sent enough to suggest that at once.
''What? No, don't kill her. Let's use her to negotiate with that scoundrel Bane. If Harry does not return soon, then we will be sure that Bane has done something to him. Also, we have to sign away from the threshold of Persia, so she will be a good negotiating factor for us.'' Barry's eyes remained on Sent as he made his wonderful suggestion.
Larry nodded.
''It's true. You are right. We will use her to negotiate, except that I hate her so much, I wish we could just get rid of her.'' Larry continued.
''She was going to kill me, can you imagine? She wanted to give Margaret the Prisms Poison in a bid to stall the union. I had to quickly swing into action if not the union would not have held.'' McGuire started to reveal everything that actually happened and the Princes could do nothing but listen in genuine shock.
''We have been living with a snake for God knows how long. How sure are we that the butler is not also from Persia?'' As soon as Larry made this statement, Roger's eyes shone and he immediately tip-toed back to his room so as not to be caught eaves dropping.
''Let's leave the man for now. At least he has not been caught in any act, so confronting him will be seen as harrasment and we are too regal to be caught harrassing innocent people. Did you say that we needed to negotuate for Harry? Where is he?'' Wel, McGuire had just woken up from sleeping for more than one week, so he had no idea where Harry was.
''Harry has been at Persia for three days now, and nobody has heard from him. He went to negotiate with Bane to remove Magus from the eight kingdoms. I am beginning to get worried that something has happened to him.'' Barry's mellow baritone rang through the room.
