Aylin stared at the backdoor from where she could enter the palace that held the ledgers and the records. She did even try to be discreet with her actions for she knew no one would suspect her. It was quite normal to inspect the ledgers regularly for she was in charge of the records related to the army of Aranill. However, it was still surprising to see her at this time of the night.
The guards outside the ledger room were stunned to see her here and even more so when they saw her entering from the back door. However, they did not point it out and just stared at her in confusion before they looked at each other.
Aylin nodded at them perfunctory and stood in front of the door. "Open the room. I want to refer to the previous month's record." She ordered and the guards hesitated for a moment before they eventually opened the room. Being the Commander of Aranill had its perks and one of them was to have access to any room she wished to enter at any time. She was only answerable to the Alpha King and no one.
When she remembered the man because of whom she was even here, she scoffed lightly. Only if he was a just king....She thought and shook her head. They had made a mistake by choosing him and it was time to rectify what they had done. Although his reign was almost reaching its end, that did not mean he could not get punished for what he had done.
Since he dared to sin blatantly, he even had to face the consequences and Aylin vowed to show him what he was worth.
Aylin smiled faintly at Myron's foolishness. Since had dared to deceive the people, he should have hidden the records. What was he trying to prove by placing the records out in the open? Did he think that no one would revolt if they found out about it? Aylin wondered and rolled her eyes. 'Then he was wrong. I am here and I will make sure to uncover all the sins you have committed. Myron, Caelan, Josephine, Dorothy, wait for me to personally escort you to prison.'
"Thank you." Aylin did not explain her behavior and entered the room, bringing the torch of light with her, not caring about the baffled looks the guards had on their faces. Even if they were surprised to see her here, they would not question her anyway. So, she just entered the room at ease and instead of moving towards the section that held the records related to the army, she searched for the ledgers that held the details about the payments made to the servants in the palace.
'Where are they?' She mumbled and passed by the racks, her forehead creasing with a frown. 'Where are they placed?' Her eyes raked in the place slowly. Previously, she had only accessed ledgers related to the military. So, she had no idea where the records she was looking for were.
It was only when she reached the end of the room that her eyes felt on the financial records related to the palace and she pulled out the book closest to her reach. Since there was no place to sit and study the record in the room, she balanced the book on the rack, placing it to her eye level while she held the torch, careful enough to burn the pages.
One by one, she went through the records. At first, she did not find anything amiss. The matron and the head butler were paid fairly well. Even if the amount paid was less, at least they seemed to be well paid.
However, it was the other servants' paycheck that completely stunned Aylin. She could not believe what she was seeing, especially when she saw how little even some experienced maids were being paid. Even in her manor, the servants who had lesser experience than them had been paid more.
To think that the servants in the palace where the Justice was meant to be upheld, suffered such injustice made her see and her eyes narrowed immediately. She continued to go through the ledger, making sure to find all the faults in it and it was only when she finished seeing the last entry that she closed the record book.
She was now completely baffled and for a moment, she stood frozen in her spot. This was far from what she had thought. Previously, she had only assumed the royal family to ill-treat the servants only when they were furious. But now, after seeing the evidence and confirming it herself, she now had reasons to believe that the royal family was despicable even before Myron took over the throne.
Since she had no evidence earlier, she could only stay mum even if she had witnessed the servants being abused directly for none of the servants were willing to testify against the royal family. However, she had something with her that could prove the royal family to be detestable and even make them lose their prestige.
Making a resolve in her mind, Aylin placed the record back on the rack and exited the room, startling the guards outside who were trying to peek and find out what she was upto.
Aylin stared at him coldly, unimpressed by her impudence. But she did not speak a word about it and just nodded at them curtly. Anyway, even if they were to try, they would not be able to find out what she had done inside the room. Thye had not followed her in and Aylin had made sure to keep the ledger back in its position so as to not alert her enemy.
"Lock the door properly. I will be leaving now." Without even acknowledging the bow, she turned away and left the palace, leaving the guards in a total state of confusion.
The cold air hit Aylin's face. However, she did not feel the chilliness at all. All her mind was wrapped around the injustice the servants had suffered and were still suffering. 'How do I bring the truth in front of everyone?' She wondered as she kept walking, ignoring the curious looks that kept appearing on her every now and then.
This time, instead of taking the path she had chosen before, she entered the arena, startling all the men who were on night shift. They stared at her in astonishment. But nobody asked her about her sudden visit. It was quite common of her to enter and leave the arena whenever she wanted. There had been an instance when she had suddenly barged inside the arena once sometime after midnight and had worked the entire night.
Aylin continued walking as she thought about her next plan. Bringing the matter directly to the Alpha King would only give him an opportunity to erase the evidence. And bringing it up in the court had its own problems.
But she had no choice either. She had to bring the matter up in front of everyone. This was the only way to confront the King without allowing him to erase the evidence. Aylin sighed lightly as she walked around the arena with her gaze fixed in front of her.
As every moment passed, her hatred for Myron was only increasing. All she wished for was to kill the man who did not care about his subjects. He did not deserve the throne nor did he deserve to be an Alpha. He was just a pest and Aylin detested him from the bottom of her heart.
Aylin kept walking around the arena for a long time as she thought of ways to handle Myron and his family. None of them seemed easy to deal with. While Myron was cunning, his wife, Dorothy was skillfully at acting elegant and noble while she was nothing but a two-faced woman. And Josephine was cruel and foolish while Caelan...
'Caelan...' Aylin's eyes flashed with danger when she thought about the man she had neglected the most in the past. He had seemed to be unharmful before. But now, he was the most dangerous person in her eyes. 'I need to be wary of him. He will surely try to get back at me for what I did to him today.'
Aylin thought and recalled the wicked expression she had seen on the man's face when he had questioned her harshly for meeting Susan against his orders. Something in his gaze did not sit well with her and she felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. It was as though what she had seen today was just one layer and he would soon reveal what his true character is.
Aylin was so lost in her thoughts that had covered the entire arena once. It was only when she felt an extremely cold wind hitting her wide eyes, bringing tears in them that she snapped out of her thoughts. She let out a sigh and looked around her, only to find her warriors looking at her strangely. But she did not care about it and gazed at the sky.
It was just sometime past midnight and she was extremely exhausted. The day's events had tired her entirely, physically and mentally. So, instead of returning to her manor, she entered her room in the arena and lay down on the small couch.
"I hope you have reached Ideni safely, Azimir." She mumbled and her lips curved in bliss when she remembered the man who was willing to give up everything for her.
Her eyes turned heavy slowly and the darkness engulfed her, pulling her towards it gradually. That night, Aylin had a dream. Only this time, her dream was filled with happiness and contentment.. Her dream was filled with Azimir and her and their future.
