Chapter 0239 

The guard who had opened his mouth immediately did so again. “Many apologies, Your Royal Highness. We meant no offense. It was not meant to be a secret from you, though…” His gaze shifted to me. 

Beside me, Nicholas straightened, b*dy tense as a bow string. “So you are following us?” 

“Following Miss Piper, Sir.” The guard started to sweat. “There have been reports of suspicious behavior. 

For the safety of all, the captain‘ thought we should keep an eye on her.” 

I remembered Lilliana speaking with Joseph in the hallway, as they both glared at me. Shortly after, 

Lilliana had made accusations at me that I hadn’t understood at the time. 

“And you suspect she will perform this suspicious behavior even when she is in my company?” Nicholas’s voice was going eerily emotionless. His anger must have been skyröcketing…… 

I touched his arm, hoping to soothe him. “They only mean to protect you, Prince Nicholas.” I lowered my 

voice. “Perhaps it is best if they continue to do so.” 

He glanced at me sharply. “What?” 

To the guards, I said, “I understand your precautions, gentlemen, and take no offense.” 

The one who had spoken nodded at me, but then looked to Nicholas. The other had yet to lift his chin. 

from his chest. 

Nicholas searched my face. I didn’t know what he saw there, but he eventually dismissed the guards.” 

Carry on, then.” 

He tugged me forward. When a buffer of space had opened between us and our tail, he said to me, 

What are you thinking, Piper? They don’t need to be following you around. That’s ridiculous.” 

“We both know I wouldn’t do something,” I said. “But isn’t it safer if they keep a lookout for who they 

think is me? They can follow her, too. This way, if she tries to hurt someone, they might be there. They can 

step in and stop her.” 

In my heart, I doubted Jane would be so careless as to let herself be trapped by the guard. If even I had 

noticed them following us, Jane, with her years of on–the–run experience, would never have been caught 

unawares. 

Still, even if the guards‘ presence only made her more cautious, that was time she spent hiding rather 

than carrying out whatever plan she and Terry had up their sleeves. I only hoped it would give us enough 

of a chance to catch up. 

“If Jane does do something, and the guards see, you will take the blame, Piper,” Nicholas said. “A guard’s word holds weight. You could even be tried.” 

I understood the risk. “I’d never put the weight of my future over the potential life of anyone else.” 

“We don’t know she would kill anyone,” Nicholas said.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I thought of Jane with her knife to my throat. “We don’t know she wouldn’t either.” 

He shook his head. “Maybe it’s time to simply reveal the secret of your sister’s existence. She’s been in 

the shadows too long. If we force her out into the light –” 

“No,” I said, cutting him off. I understood his heart was in the right place, and was so grateful for it, but that was one secret that needed to stay buried as long as possible. “How would I ever explain to Elva?” 1 

“She wouldn’t make the connection.” 

“Not right away, maybe. But she’s bright, Nick. She sees everything. Eventually she will start asking questions. And I don’t know that I have the answers to give her.” 

“Maybe she should find out the truth,” Nicholas said. “Would that be so bad?” 

“She’s practically still a baby. I can’t shatter her whole world like that.” 

I tried to imagine a universe where Elva stopped calling me Mommy and it took everything in me not to 

cry again. 

“Please, Nicholas. Keep this secret. For me.” (1 

His jawline tensed. But, after a moment, he said, “Fine.” A beat later, he added, “For now.”
