Chapter 3 We keep scamming 2

I was currently smiling, like I just hit a jackpot.

Of course, I just got the jackpot!

The moment I told everyone about my fabricated story, they bought into it like it was a sweet fairytale.

"I cannot believe our luck, fortunately, one of the courstesans was truly sick and that woman testified to it" Swift said, obviously still amazed.

I smiled and shrugged

"I am happy we sold all the medicine and that the Courtesan was actually sick" I said and giggled.

"Ha, what a luck!" Swift exclaimed and some passerby looked at him like he was crazy.

I immediately took his hands and dragged him along with me.

"Seriously, you want to put us in trouble" I whispered

"Says the girl, who is not afraid of the king" Swift said

We continued walking, with the store room as our destination.

I lifted my eyes to see a maiden, with golden curls and emerald eyes.

"Is that not Grace?" I asked Swift and he stiffened still holding my hands, I giggled again and left his hands.

Swift has an intensed love for Grace, eversince she became a young woman or who knows, it might have been the time we were born, I only got to know by mistake.

"Hail Grace" I said smiling, as she approached us

"Hail Carissa, Hail Swift" Grace said smiling

She was wearing, a yellow fine dress.

"How have you been, Grace?" Swift said trying to hide his nervousness

"I am fine, what about you?" She asked smiling

"I am well" Swift replied smiling too

They were both smiling at each other

"Oh, did you hear about the king's announcement?" Grace asked us.

"No, what did he say?" Swift asked

"He's going to start trading with the dark kingdom, he confirmed it himself, today" Grace said

"Unbelievable, I have always thought, that was a just a rumor" Swift said

I looked on uninterested, I do not care about what the king does because to me he is the most selfish and stupid man, I have ever heard about.

Eversince, he became king, everything has been chaotic to me, the only thing he does, is how to acquire more courtesans in his bed...

It was two days after, we just finished acting as fake shamans in a small hut, we rented.

We had dressed in long flowing gowns and made sure to cover our faces. After business, we changed our clothes to the normal one's.

Coming out of the hut, i noticed some bad looking men, standing beside it.

"Swift look, those men look familiar" I said pointing to them

"They really do but I can't seem to remember them" he answered

One of the men turned to look at us

"There, they are!" He shouted and they started chasing us,

We started running, hitting some people and goods in the process.

I said it, those men looked familiar.

Why are they suddenly chasing us?

They don't look like a recent customer too...

We ran taking a narrow corner, passing two streets, jumping a high fence thrice, almost hitting a pregnant woman but they were, still on our tail.

We quickly dashed to our storage room.

Oh shit, it was just me! Swift was not behind me!

Was he caught?!
