Chapter 98 Journey

• Melissa sat beside Richard in the back seat while Beatrice sat in the front seat and Avalors drove them. The reason for the entire drama was to attract attention from both the Council and the Vance kidnappers.
• Beatrice and Nathaniel had captured two of the spies in the castle. One of those spies worked as a maid and the other was a guard. They'd infiltrated the castle for five years and Melissa was just reading about this as they drove across towns. The journey to their destination would take at least seven hours which meant Melissa had the time to discuss with her personal council how things had been going.
• She flipped Beatrice's report as they continued the ride in silence. Beatirce had also convinced Nathaniel to stop doing business with the man from Vance pack and Beatrice had described Nathaniel's resistance as trying to boil a rock to soften. Melissa giggled at this and she felt Richard's hand ruffle her hair, she glanced up at him and raised her eyes. "I am a busy man,"she said and Richard didn't even so much as give her a sign, he just smiled at her creepily as he ran his fingers through her hair.
