The Web of Knightspur-Chapter 173

Sir Kit walked towards the Princess with a smile on his face.

He could see Princess Eleanor sitting on the chair in a daze. The sun was up as it shone brightly. The rays brightened the room as Princess Eleanor looked up. Sir Kit bowed his head as he said in a soft tone, "Princess,"

Princess Eleanor’s eyes shook as she looked at Sir Kit in a daze. A smile played on her face as she blinked innocently before she stood up in a hurry and walked towards Sir Kit. She held his hand as she pulled him towards the bed as she made him sit and she herself sat beside him.

"I heard you wanted to talk to me." Sir Kit said as he held Princess Eleanor’s hand. His eyes looked straight into Princess Eleanor’s.

"Yes, I had given Commander Colt a mission. I wanted to let you know." Princess Eleanor said as she leaned toward Sir Kit as she touched his face. "And I had something important to tell you as well. I know what the Crown Prince wants from me."

Sir Kit’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Princess Eleanor with a deep gaze. He did not know how the Princess found out about it, but he was sure that it was something that was related to House Beaumont.

Princess Eleanor saw the interest in Sir Kit’s gaze deepened. She knew that he did not like the Crown Prince. But she did not know if it was because of her or if it was related to something else that she was not aware of.

"It has something to do with the Grand Duke’s house." Princess Eleanor said as she observed Sir Kit. But to her surprise, she could not see any major difference in his eyes. "You are not surprised."

Sir Kit nodded his head. After all, it was not something that he did not know about. He knew all along that the things would be related to House Beaumont, otherwise the Crown Prince would not have chosen Princess Eleanor - someone whose whole family was killed by him. But Sir Kit still could not understand why. What was it that made the Crown Prince take such a step? What made him break the promise between the House Beaumont and the Royal family?

He understood the purpose of this step though. Beaumont’s house’s badges were used because he wanted to frame them for the crime. But what was the ultimate goal?

"I thought it might be related." Sir Kit did not deny it. There was no denial and he knew that Princess Eleanor was intelligent enough to understand it too.

"Yes," Princess Eleanor nodded her head. It was not hard to accept it but she still had something to say, "Well, I also found something else that is interesting... but I am a little confused. The Crown Prince said that he wanted to remove the thorns from his path."

"Thorns from his path? But as per what I know, Duke Christopher has declared that he will not take up the throne. Then why would the Grand Duke be a thorn?" Sir Kit was confused. He knew that the Crown Prince did not like the Beaumont household. After all, they were a threat to his position, but he had never been so open about it.

If Crown Prince Richard really thought of the Ducal household as a thorn, then it was understandable that he had planned to use the badge and kill the King of the Angevin Kingdom. If it was found that they were killed by someone from the Roulux Empire and the badge was presented as evidence, then everyone would definitely think that it was Duke Christopher Beaumont who had planned everything.

’He had planned it so thoroughly.’ Sir Kit thought as his eyes darkened. He knew then that he had underestimated the Crown Prince. ’It will never happen again. I have to find out why he would target the Angevin Kingdom and Princess Eleanor.’

"I don’t know, but the Crown Prince wants some information. He said that he will tell me when the time comes. But I want to make something very clear." Princess Eleanor said as she took a deep breath, "I don’t know how to face the Grand Duke now that he had caught me going into his study. But I want to tell him this. I do not want to leak out information on who the real culprit is."

"What is Princess planning?" Sir Kit touched Princess Eleanor’s hand that was on his face. "You can tell me, and I will make sure the Grand Duke knows about it."

"I want to give false information to the Crown Prince. I don’t know what he will tell me to gather, but will it be possible to create false documents and give them to the Crown Prince? I just want to make sure that it looks as real as possible so that we can catch the Crown Prince by surprise. He will never know what is coming his way." Princess Eleanor suggested.

Sir Kit’s smile reached his eyes as he nodded his head. He knew that what Princess Eleanor was saying was the only way out now. They have to create false documents, just like how the Royal family had done.

"I will help the Princess out in this." Sir Kit said with a smile on his face. Sir Kit gently caressed Princess Eleanor’s face as he moved toward her. "The Princess should not trouble her mind on such matters. You should rest and take care of your body."

Princess Eleanor’s eyes shook as she saw Sir Kit coming toward her. Her breathing increased and she anticipated what was coming next.

"Sir Kit...." Princess Eleanor’s voice trembled as she swallowed hard. Her voice sounded soft as if she was afraid, but her body was saying something that was totally opposite. She moved toward Sir Kit as well. Her body leaned closer to him as if his warmth was pulling her closer. It was something inescapable.

Sir Kit rested his forehead on Princess Eleanor’s as both of their breathing intertwined. The backs of his fingers grazed Princess Eleanor’s cheeks as they moved towards her eyes. There was a smile on his face as he saw Princess Eleanor close her eyes subconsciously.

The room was silent as their irregular breathing could be heard properly. Sir Kit’s thoughts were filled with Princess Eleanor. Although she was sitting in front of him, there was a constant fear that the Princess might end up marrying the Crown Prince. What if she really did marry the Crown Prince?!

Sir Kit’s eyes darkened with the mere thought. He did not want to think about such a possibility. He did not want to take any chances. There was a contrasting fear in him that the Princess would be taken away from him forever.

Sir Kit did not know why he was feeling like this, but he knew that he had to do something soon. He had to take charge of his hand soon if he wanted to save his heart from heartbreak.

Sir Kit looked at Princess Eleanor’s face which was filled with innocence but also there was a hint of stubbornness in it. The possessiveness that he wanted to hide from her, surged forth like a hurricane as his lips claimed Princess Eleanor’s in a hurry.

Princess Eleanor was in a daze and such an attack on her had all of her senses awakening. She knew what was coming her way, but the intensity was too much for her to handle. Her hands moved from Sir Kit’s face to wrap them around his neck. She could feel the heat radiating from Sit Kit. Her eyes blurred as she deepened the kiss.

Princess Eleanor wanted to feel closer to Sir Kit. She had made peace with her own feelings. She liked the man who was in front of her. Princess Eleanor did not know why she was feeling these things. Maybe because of the way Sir Kit had touched her heart or was it the care he had always shown toward her that had caught her attention? Maybe he was there when she needed his help? And that might be what had made her heart open up to him. Princess Eleanor did not know exactly, but all she knew was that he was someone important to her and she wanted to spend all of her life with him.

The love that was buried in her heart under a rock called revenge was about to burst. She wanted to be with a man whose face she had never seen before - not even once. But at this moment, Princess Eleanor did not care at all. The atmosphere was filled with emotions and Princess Eleanor just wanted to be engulfed in it.

Princess Eleanor pulled Sir Kit towards her as her hand moved to comb through his hair. She bit on Sir Kit’s lips, making him gasp. Her tongue made its way into his mouth as she deepened the kiss. It was something very brave of her to do, but Princess Eleanor was satisfied seeing the control she had over Sir Kit.

As soon as she wanted to pull his hair towards her, she heard a knock on the door and her body stiffened.

Princess Eleanor’s eyes widened when she heard someone open the door slowly before calling out. "Princess."
