Chapter Fourteen

The two maids moved through the halls in a hurry. Since they were pushing a cart, they had somewhat of an air of authority. It was considered entirely improper to look underneath the covering of a rolling cart, which gave them some safety as well, for similar reasons to the assorted rules and traditions governing potted plants. Rolling carts were used solely for concealing things. If you had nothing to hide, you would use another means of transportation. Of course, despite this knowledge, none of the nobles ever dared check under the coverings of rival carts, for as soon as they did so, then their carts would be checked as well, and that was a thought that none of them could bear.

With Elara and Patricia being some of the most-wanted servants in Fortis Regnum, few nobles would have a hard time justifying their actions. But standards were standards, and few nobles would dare to buck tradition if they didn’t have to.

Elara took the lead, pulling the cart, while Patricia followed along. Soon, they reached a great intersection between House Yellow, House Blue, and House Orange. A small festival of slumbering nobles still lay passed out on the plush carpet, though a few of them were beginning to stir.

Most of them were House Yellow nobles, which made it all the better. Elara pulled the cart toward the main entrance of House Yellow territory, then whipped off the covering.

The bomb was intact and ready. Elara and Patricia carefully lifted it up to sit on top of the cart.

A few of the nobles mumbled something, and one of them sat up and blinked blearily, only to roll over and go back to sleep.

Elara let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. Patricia took hold of the firing string.

“Once I pull this string, we have ten seconds to get away,” she said softly. “Do you think we can make it?”

Elara glanced down at her stained apron and nodded. “You start running. I’ll get you in a moment.”

“Alright.” Patricia let out a long breath. “I’ll see you on the other side.”

“See you there.”

Patricia let go of the string and bolted down the hallway toward a cluster of potted plants that had suddenly formed about a hundred feet away. Elara took hold of the string in her stead, took a deep breath, and yanked it.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

The count-down started echoing from within the box, and Elara sprinted to flee. Her enhanced speed let her flash across the carpet with extraordinary speed, and she snatched Patricia’s hand. Pulling her along, Elara reached the barricade of potted plants. All the spies slid aside for the two maids to dive into cover.

Elara peered through the palm fronds with a horrified interest.

“Seven.” She counted in her head. “Eight.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrumbleumbleumbleumbleumbleumbleatlatlatlatlatlatlatl.

The pipes began rattling beneath Elara’s feet, coming from behind her, and rushed past them in the blink of an eye. She watched in horror as the whole intersection shook. Tapestries swayed on the walls, the water cooler slipped off its pedestal
