The guards closed in and pushed the other target to the ground. Handcuffs were placed around their wrists, as their bodies were tightly bound in rope and carried away.

Ed watched on from the sidelines, amazed at just how quickly it all ended. I guess that’s that.

Elaine cleaned the dust off herself with a wave of a hand and left the guards to take care of the rest. She said something to Wilfred before walking back to the cars

Wilfred called Ed over to him. “Thank you for assisting us tonight. You will be rewarded for your efforts.” He said.

Ed scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. “I didn’t really do much to help.”

“On the contrary, you provided us with some valuable information both before and during this operation. And for that, you will be greatly rewarded.” Wilfred said.

“Then I will gladly accept it. Here’s the phone by the way.” Ed said, handing the phone back to Wilfred.

“You can keep it. Consider it a bonus for completing the mission. Or as a gift from Her Majesty.” Wilfred said before turning around and walking off.

Ed shrugged and put the phone back in his pocket, making his way back to the

The two of them walked back to the cars and joined up with everyone else.

The targets were brought back and thrown into the back of one of the cars, as the guards filed back into the vehicles. Ed sat down in the same car as before, while Wilfred went to converse with Elaine.

A few minutes later, the convoy started up once more and made its way back to the palace.

These past few days have been very eventful. Hopefully I can just find some time to relax. I should get enough money from the princess that I won’t really have to worry anymore. Maybe I can treat this as a vacation from now on, at least until Buddie brings me back... I wonder how Zara’s doing. She probably flipped out at the beginning, but it’s been a little while, so hopefully she’s not done anything too crazy. Buddie should’ve at least told her that I’m still alive, but she’s probably still in the dark about where I am... I can’t wait until I can get out of here.

The convoy rolled back into the grounds of the estate. The cars holding the criminals stopped near the closest entrance to the dungeon, as the guards disembarked and carried the criminals down to their cells.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

The two cars containing Elaine, Ed, and Wilfred continued driving, stopping right in front of the entrance to Elaine’s palace. Wilfred exited the car to open the door for Elaine. At the same time, Ed steps out of the car, which then drove off behind him.

Ed was guided to a small room by a servant and was told to wait while Elaine and Wilfred finished their discussion. I wonder what they’re discussing. Guess I’ll find out soon enough

The room was simple, yet elegant, and had a calming effect. Ed took this as a moment to relax after the long day and leant back into the soft leather armchair. He was given a cup of tea and some biscuits, so he decided to switch his brain off and just relax for a moment.

Another day, and Ed still hasn’t returned. With a sigh, Zara jumped right into work. I think I might have an idea. I really want to test if this girl can control her emotions. “Okay Buddie, this one’s gonna be pretty simple this time, there shouldn’t be much work. I want you to start off by creating the restaurant that she worked in. How many hours was her shift?” She asked.

“It was a five-hour shift.” Buddie answered.

Okay, I can work with that. “Then this will last five hours, when her shift ends, she’ll be free to go. I want her to work normally, but she’ll have a machine attached to her body that will insert a blade if her emotions fluctuate greatly and reach the point she was at with either the customer or her manager.” She said.

“Where do you want the machine to be attached to on her body?” Buddie asked.

“Where did she stab her manager?” Zara asked back.

“She stabbed him in the side of the stomach.” Buddie replied.

“Then that will work well. Also make sure that she won’t be able to mention anything that is going on to anyone.”

“Is that all?” Buddie asked.

She stopped to think for a moment before nodding. “That should be everything. I’m good with it being like this.”

“Thank you for submitting your plans, I will let you know when it’s ready.”

Zara got up from her chair and looked around. It’s not as fun when Ed’s not around. Looking around the room, she sighed and went to eat at the cafeteria alone.
