The Web of Knightspur-Chapter 144

Princess Eleanor was silent. She was in deep thoughts trying to come up with a clear understanding bet no matter what she thought Princess Eleanor felt like she was not getting to a clear conclusion.

Princess Eleanor knew that everything that she was thinking about was pointing toward a single thing. It had to be Duke Beaumont that was there to help her. He was the one that took her away from danger. The one who made her feel safe.

"Princess Eleanor said something, " Sir Kit said in a small voice. He could hear her murmur but he could not catch what she was to say. He had a feeling that it was related to him but he had yet missed out on listening to the words.

Princess Eleanor looked at him but shook her head in denial she know that at some point in time she has to tell Sir Kit that maybe she was covered in judging the Duke but Princess Eleanor was not ready to do it just yet felt like she needed to be confident enough to first find out the truth and then came to a conclusion.

"Nothing" Princess Eleanor decided to look at the books on the table. It was a good way to sort out as much as things now. " Now that you trust me can you let me use the place?" Princess Eleanor’s eyes blinked innocently. She did not want to sound rude but she wanted to make the situation work in her favor. After receiving such books in her possession to read, Princess Eleanor wanted to make full use of the opportunity.

" I know what you are thinking but I do not want to do anything bad. Trust me Sir Kit I have no intention of doing anything that will harm the ducal household. All I want to do is to understand what the royal family has done. I think the Dukes and I are the same. Maybe we both can help each other." Princess Eleanor said in a small tone

" I think the Princess is not understanding the situation. " Sir Kit said in a low tone. He looked forward as he looked straight into Princess Eleanor’s eyes. There was nothing else that he can explain further to the Princess

Sir Kit took a deep breath as he closed his eyes to come frying with better words that won’t affect Princess Eleanor’s feelings. "The reason why I brought you here is to clear the misunderstanding. It has no this to do with you finding out more clues. I need to say this round Princess but Eleanor cannot say or ask anyone to her just because she thinks everyone is also the Royal family. Some people might look like they hate the royal family but in reality, they support them. "

" So what Sir Kit is trying to say is that even though it might look like Duke Beaumont and the Royals do not get along well, but the reality of the situation is different? " Princess Eleanor looked sharply at Sir Kit trying to come to a conclusion. No matter how hard she tried she could not understand why would Sir Kit still follow the Royal family. What was keeping him loyal to them?

Sir Kit did not know how to explain the situation to Princess Eleanor without being too outspoken and rude. He wanted her to understand but at the same time, he wanted her to know that not everything can be simple as she thinks it is. " The Princess now knows that the royal family is not trustworthy they have not only broken peoples bust but also done some things which are not very well appreciated but it is also true that Duke Beaumont does not any have interest in claiming the throne he is not keen on becoming the next emperor "

"But what if it is not related to becoming the emperor? What if it is related to being useful to the people? How happy the people will be once they have someone who understands them. If the royal family is not managing the empire properly, don’t you think the people would like to have a more sensible and kind ruler? "

" I think the Princess is mistaken. There is no kindness in the grand Duke’s heart. It would be good if the Princess understands now and does not force the Duke into anything that the Princess might regret. Grand Duke Beaumont does not like to be involved with the royal family. He is someone who prefers keeping a distance from them so Princess please do not force anything on him." Sir ket was not joking. His eyes showed how serious he was.

Princess Eleanor nodded her head in understanding. She knew that sometimes she needed to control her heart and keep her thoughts to herself.

"But if the Grand Duke is investigating the Emperor then..." Princess Eleanor said in a trembling tone but she did not continue. Her tone was filled with curiosity as she blinked her eyes.

"Well, the Grand Duke is investigating it but he does not have thought of claiming the throne yet. Although the Emperor had done many things that he should not have done, but the Royal family has always been fair to the people of the Empire. They are not cruel." Sir Kit said as he looked at the Princess but soon he got up from the chair and he closed the books. "Princess, I think we should leave now. You have gotten what you wanted. The truth is in front of your eyes. The Grand Duke is not involved in your parent’s death so I just hope that you do not misunderstand him in the future."

Princess Eleanor bit her lips. She did not want to leave the place just yet. She wanted to know more. Her eyes looked around as she tried to think of some ways to make Sir Kit agree with her.

Princess Eleanor thought that there was something that might help her have an upper hand when she entered the Royal palace. But before she could come up with anything else to say, she saw that Sir Kit had already closed the books and arranged them on the bookshelves.

Princess Eleanor walked around. Her mind was already in a mess.

Princess Eleanor rubbed her fingers over her chin. She could not understand what she was thinking when she let Sir Kit drag her out of the study. It was not that she did not let Sir Kit let Princess Eleanor do anything. She had the whole night to sit and read whatever she wanted. He even allowed her to search through the whole study. He helped her to see the books and told her the history too but when she demanded that she wanted to know more about the Royal family, Sir Kit did not allow it. He opposed her and did not allow her to object.

’Why did I agree with him? Why did I let him do whatever he wants?’ Princess Eleanor bit her lips as she sat on the bed. ’I should have fought back. I should not have allowed him to do that.’

Princess Eleanor was silent as she blinked her eyes. Her body was feeling restless as she felt a little irritated. ’I wanted to know more. I had to know what the Royal Family fears.’

Princess Eleanor lay on the bed as she looked up at the ceiling in annoyance, "What is wrong with me? Why did I listen to him?"

Princess Eleanor was thinking back at the situation but soon a realization hit her. "Doctor Raul said that I would be getting better in a few days. And it is estimated that I would be able to leave the ducal house soon but I want to know the royal family’s secret before I go. I had to know it so that I can use it to my advantage."

Princess Eleanor got up from the bed as her eyes glowed. She took a deep breath as she looked outside the window. The moon was shining brightly but there was a slight ray of light. Princess Eleanor knew that within a span of a few hours, the sun would be shining making its way into the next day.

"I need to read the books. I need to get my hands on them. Should I ask Sir Kit again?" Princess Eleanor was in a dilemma. She knew that she did not have any other choice but she also knew that she had to find a way around it somehow.

"Should I not tell Sir Kit about it?" Princess Eleanor said as she bit her lips. "He said that the Grand Duke was not here. It is a perfect opportunity. Yes, it is. I know the way to study now. There are no guards outside. I can easily make my way inside. Should I take the chance and ..."

Princess Eleanor shook her head as she bit her lips. "I need to talk with someone. Maybe my new escort might help. Should I ask Commander Colt?"
