Plan

Princess Jessica cried for a while before she managed to calm down. "I heard the second prince arrived at the first gate?" Benedict said. She was not afraid to mention this, after all the prince arrival was not a secret.

"Yes," Princess Jessica replied. She did not say anything else because she felt there was nothing to say. The prince had arrived at the first gate openly.

When Benedict heard the one word reply she frowned in her heart but her face remain the same. There was no change at all. She would have loved it, if the princess took the initiative to tell her more without her having to ask. "is he in the royal city now, have you arranged a place for him? He must have come to pay respect to uncle after all there is still a marriage agreement between the two families. If you don't want to deal with him, I can go over and help. I understand you don't like him, especially with what happened to uncle, " Benedict sighed. She said so much without a pause.

If one listened to her speak, they would conclude that she was concerned about the princess but the fact remains that she was trying to get words out of the princess mouth. She also hopes to remind her that no matter what, her father was dead because of the royal family of Gousho.

"There is no need, I sent him back. My father is already dead. How can I turn a blind eye without getting any explanation?" Princess Jessica said..

Benedict looked surprised when she heard this but she also understood her cousin. "then what about the marriage? You can't just back out right? Gousho still has the best weapon. Now that your father is dead, how about we use this incident to allow me marry him openly. This can also be you taking a step back in other to advance," Benedict said. He gaze was filled with worry and heart ache.

When princess Jessica saw her like this she parted her shoulder. She already had a plan in her heart but the first lesson she learn when her father started training her to take over the throne was for her to never show all her cards. Not even to her most trusted confident. People change and the walls has ears. It's was best to be safe.

"There is no need, the royal family if Gousho is too coatic I can never let you marry over. My father already paid the price. Going forward, I don't plan for Dumbi to be a subordinate city to Gousho," Princess Jessic replied.

"What?" Benedict was a bit surprised. She did not expect the princess to tell her everything so clearly. "I think you are making this decision to soon. Although uncle has dead and he needs justice, war should not be the way," Benedict said. She looked at Jessica as if she was scared that her best friend would make a mistake but the truth is that she wanted to understand the princess plan.

" You don't have to worry about this, I can sacrifice myself for the safety of the people but the crown prince is too petty. Even if I swallow my grievance and marry the second prince I am afraid it's wouldn't be enough to ensure the peace and prosperity of Dumbi. So I must make a move," Princess Jessica said. Although she said she had chosen a part of war, she did not give ant details. Anyway she would announce this three days later so she did not think she was doing anything wrong..

" But cousin... I fear this is such a big risk, " Benedict said.

"My father lowered his head all his life because he did not want to take big risk. But where did its lead him," Princess Jessica commented. Those who knew her knew that her mind was made up.

Seeing that she could not get more information she took a deep breath. "what do you plan to do? Without the backing of the royal family of Gousho out Tsit family does not have a right to the throne," Benedict asked.

It's was a known fact that the Tait family was from Gousho. This is why it's has been difficult for the two kingdom to go their seprate ways.

" Take its that I am starting a rebellion, " prince Jessica said. Her gaze was calm, there was even a faint smile on her lips, those who did not know would think that the two ladies was chatting about the weather.

"You," Benedict was shocked when she heard this. "this is too risky, you would not only be fighting Gousho, domr native of Dumbi would turn against you," Benedict said. It's not that she cared about Jessica but she was scared that if the Tait family lose power because of her, she would loss her value, even Ramsey would not want her again.

She was no fool, ever since the first time Ramsey came to her she knew that the man did not like her or the princess. It's was about benefits and gain.

"you don't have to worry about this," Princess Jessica said. She had no plans of telling her, how she intended to unite the people of Dumbi. She knew that her uncle wanted to take the throne for his son. Even if she was closer to Benedict than her bother, she had no plans to gamble about something so big.. The room fell quite for a short moment. Benedict opened her mouth to say something a few times but closed her mouth. When the prince noticed this, she Rais her brow a little. "if you have something to say, say it's, I promise not to count its against you," princess Jessica said..

Benedict did not open her month to answer immediately, she put on a thoughtful look for a while before she opened her mouth and asked. "then would you still marry General Ramsey? I mean he is the love of your life right?" Her voice was filled with concerns
