Chapter 29

Avery

I woke up with a smile the next day.

I was finally going to get out of this destabilizing place.

I freshened up and left my room.

I knocked on a random door.

A girl with ebony hair answered the door. Her hair was still in a rough state.

I felt apologetic for disturbing her but I had to ask my question.

“Please, do you know which room is Diana’s?” I questioned and she rubbed her

eyes.

She pointed to a door on the far right before she slammed the door in my face. I rubbed my nose. I did not blame her for her action.

I would be cranky if I was disturbed from a restful sleep too.

At least, the girl showed me the door to Diana’s room before shutting the door. Other people would not bother to tell me that information because I disturbed them.

I knocked on the door of Diana’s room.

Diana was in a similar image to the girl that directed me to her room.

Her clothes were in a rough state while her hair was like a bird’s nest.

“Why are you up now?” Diana asked with sleep still showing through her voice.

“I am supposed to cook for everybody this evening so I want to start now. I need you and your friends to assist me in the kitchen.” I put forth my proposal at last.

It would be tiring to cook all by myself. It might endanger my health if I stressed too much.

It wouldn’t be good for the babies too.

I take my kids seriously and I would try to refrain from anything that would affect them negatively.

The kitchen should already have cooks that were in charge of everybody’s meals. The cooks should have been the ones to assist me but I don’t trust them.

I don’t know Diana and her group for long but to me, they are still safer than the cooks manning the kitchen.

I would pick them over those cooks anytime.

Besides, those cooks would act as sentries Miiss Freya or Fredo would use to monitor my actions.

The cooks would transmit every thing I say and do to the Drakes.

I was planning to poison everybody here.

My poisoning would have a chance of success if these cooks weren’t my main assistance and help.

Sleep faded away from Diana’s eyes immediately.

“You need our help?” She asked excitedly before she dragged me into her room.

Diana quickly had her bath before appearing before me again.

“Why are you excited? Is it not just cooking?” I joked.
