A TRUTHFUL ADVICE (2)

 "Helen, I am the Chancellor and my job is to counsel the King. Here is an advice to you. And this advice is free"

Helena listened intently. Aero smiles and he come closer to her. Their faces are only inches away.

Then he said with a smirk on his face

"Trust no one, Princess. Not your attendants, not your supposed In-Laws, not the countless brave men and brave Knights who offered to die for you, and not those who claim to be your friend'

Then his smile grew larger and he continued

'Especially, those that claim themselves to be your friend. All that mistrust will make you feel uncomfortable and tired, but it's better than being killed by a stab of knife on your back or the shooting of an arrow in a dark alley or the sip of a poison in your dish"

Helena gulped. Then she asked him

"How about you?" Helena asked

"Can I trust you?"
