I reached the carriage store and asked " Excuse me , a carriage to Afifty ? " He replied non - chalantly " After an hour " I replied " Ok " . I went outside and started looking around for food . It seemed it had already gotten evening. I saw a fruit stall and bought some fruits to eat in the carriage . I then went to a inn . As soon as , I entered the inn feel silent . I told the waiter to get me skewers and some rice . I sat down on the table and saw a young man with brown hair and green eyes say across me . I sighed and said " excuse me , can you sit on another table ? " He replied looking surprised " let me be straightforward , you are the lady who beat those guys , right . "

I stiffened at his words . He then said " Seems like I hit the right spot " I replied glaring at him " So what ? They deserved it . They were the ones who asked for it anyway . Even if you tell anyone , no one is gonna believe you . " He stared at me and said " You have quite some confidence . Anyway , I am Ehit Ashford . " I stared at him and said " So what ?? " He sighed and said " What are you , an idiot ? " Then I remembered the name ASHFORD and said " Are you the son of the Lord of Marquess Ashford ? " He chuckled and said " Yeah , and I want you , young lady to be my fiancee . " I replied immediately " Not a chance in million years " He seemed shocked and hurt at my words . I immediately replied " It's not because of you . I have my own issues " I got up and sat on another table , shifly ate my food and went outside . I realized 1 hour had completed and went to the shop and gave him the fees and went into the carriage . I was utterly shocked by the sight . It was that man from the inn !?

I sighed and was about to board it and saw his hand . I simply ignored it and got in . There was an awkward silence between us . Then I simply fell asleep . I woke up in middle of the night . I saw that guy sleeping . I went outside with my suitcase . I went outside and saw us in middle of the forest with the driver missing . I went into the jungle , changed into my clothes from the suitcase , changed hair color to  and wore gloves . I realized the situation in the second I went out . The driver was killed and I even know who is the cause . I sighed and said " Drake and Sierra , stop hiding . I know you guys are there . So just come out . "

I saw them come out . Sierra immediately hugged me and said " I'm sorry . Don't be mad " I didn't reply and started walking towards the carriage. While entering I said " Stop following me.  I don't like it " they replied with "Ok " . As , I went inside I saw the young Noble awake . He was Smirking . I sighed and said " what are you staring at ? " He replied " No , it's just that you look really cute for a guy . " I glared at him and sat on my seat and fell asleep . When I woke up , I saw a blond haired guy , staring outside and when he saw me awoke he said " Anyways , why are you going to Afifty ? " I replied " None of your business "I immediately recognize with those green eyes .  He said " Aren't you a cold one " I just stared outside . When we reached the Afifty town , I walked out and went to the county with my form in my hand . Then suddenly that guy , took it away and said " Work for me instead . I will give you much more money than this guy . You aren't even going to work for long here anyway " I just stared at him , snatched the form , tucked it in my pocket and replied " I refuse " and started walking . He followed me . I went into the county and gave them my form . I was told that I will be the incharge of guests . I just nodded and went to the hall . There I saw that guy talking to the count Afifty , my target . I was then told by the count to gather all the servants in the hallway . I immediately got to work .

I gathered all of them and stood among them . Then the so-called young Master whispered something into the count's ear and the count said " Be happy , young Master has chosen the young Mistress of our county as his fiancee ' . He told me that he wants to chose a servant to look after him while being here . " I knew what he meant in his last line . He wants me to serve him officially and that's what even happened . He came and murmured something to the count and started walking near the servants . Then he came towards me and stopped and said with a mischievous grin " I would like him to serve me , Count Afifty " . I replied " As you wish , Sire " . Others would think that I am new to work but only I and Ehit knew the meaning behind my words . ' You are not my master . ' I just smiled politely and bowed . He then chuckled and said to the count " I would like to retire for now . " I followed him and showed him to the room where the count instructed me to take him and was about to leave when I was dragged into the room .

I sighed and asked " Sire , what is the meaning of this ? " He replied " Look at you , pretending to be a naive new servant . But that's what I like about you . Join me and I shall give you everything . " I just signed and replied " Please do Excuse my bluntness , but I refuse . I have my very own circumstances . " I just bowed shifly and left the room , leaving him in a daze . The rest of the night , I spent going through count's drawers and cupboard . I am after all quite an assassin .
