Stealing The Protagonist’s Yandere Lovers

Chapter 42 The Protagonist Vs Protagonist Showdown Is Coming?

(As per the bonus promised in the synopsis, 2 chs released on a single day??.)

While Elandor and David's group were on a run after leaving the city, in a big hall of the royal palace Princess Lena, Evelyn and Leon were standing with their heads down.

They thought the matter of their stealing the royal treasure would end with David getting some mild punishment but the most unexpected thing happened.

Evelyn's sister Eve backstabbed them.

Just an hour before the morning, she killed all the guards stationed around David's cell and freed him.

But the most confusing part for them was, 'Why would even David run away?'

Given his connections and family support, the king won't punish him harshly.

So why did he decide to allow himself to be labelled as a fugitive and run away with Eve?

Evelyn felt... very angry, just some hours back she had told Eve that she would help David during the trial.

'Is she so impatient, that can't even trust her own sister?' she was lost in her thoughts thinking her sister prioritized her one-sided lover over sisterhood.

The same thought process was running through Leon's mind and he was also thinking,

'Why did you have to do that David?'

'If you do that, everyone will think that you and Eve are also involved in this crime and this case will only end up becoming much bigger than what it is!'

'Heck, can't you see that it will cause everyone to see our family with those suspicious eyes?'

'They would think that we are also part of the traitors along with Parul and the people supporting her from the dark.'

'Since childhood, you have been raised with utmost care. Our family spent every possible resource upon you to help raise your talent in the shortest time possible and we also spend so many hours to teach you how to read the situations, and use other people as tools for your own benefits.'

'I admired you for your plan to make those stupid girls Aushima, Jasmine and Eve follow you like dogs so that they can end up as your future wives.'

'Thus, we would soon have the support of three noble households.'

'While I would have tricked this silly princess on my side and then started our conspiracy to take over the kingdom.'

'It was a perfect strategy, eating the political power from both insides as well as outside and I could already see the kingdom in our pockets.'

'I won't forgive you for spoiling our family's long unfulfilled dream of sitting on the throne.'

'Unlike you who had talent from the start and beautiful girls easily hovering around you, I had to resort to various cheap tricks to fool Evelyn and the stupid princess.'

While both of them were busy thinking about various things, Princess Lena was just simply scared.

As a spoiled and protected princess who does not know much about the outside world, the only thing she was afraid of is her dad and mom beating her up.

All three had their heads down while the King and other important people in power were watching them.

All of them knew things were going to get trickier now and wondered, 'How would the king deal with the situation?'

If the news of their highly guarded central prison being broken twice in a single night goes out, their nation's reputation will take a big hit.

Also, the common people who are already fed up with increasing crime rates would lose trust in their nation's security.

The King finally spoke, "Leon, David was your brother so it makes me suspicious if your family is colluding with those traitors."

Feeling the gravity of the situation, Leon immediately knelt on his knees.

"Your majesty, give this knight of yours a chance to prove his utmost devotion and love for the nation."

Seeing him, Evelyn was quick to read the mood and hurriedly knelt too.

"Yes please, Your Highness! give us a chance to redeem ourselves. We will definitely catch all those traitors."

The King stared deeply at them and was lost in his thoughts.

There was absolute silence in the hall, even the breathing of most people slowed down feeling this quietness.

No one dared to interrupt and each of them waited for the king to open his mouth.

After a long silence finally, The King's domineering tone was heard,

"Fine!"

"Since it's a chance you want then I shall give your families who have contributed a lot to the nation a face."

"Leon and Evelyn catch David and Eve and bring them back, I don't care if they are brought back dead or alive."

"You only have one chance!"

"If you can't bring them back... no need for yourselves to return and better commit suicide as failed knights who were unable to uphold their duties."

"No one can smear our nation's reputation and run away like that without getting any punishment!"

Both of them shouted in unison while still kneeling,

"Thank you for your grace, Long live the king!"

"Don't worry Your Highness! We won't let you down!"

(Announcement- guys I hope you are doing great??,

As u know I started this novel like a month back and we got contracted as early as 12-14 chs.

To be honest I not much of a writer as writing only my side hobby as I planned to write a short story of 20-30 chs but u guys kept asking for more and I tried to meet your demands and plot got more deeper, that maybe the reason u feel the story is quite fast paced and character development is less in early chs which I improvised later on.

But given my schedule and studies I think I need a stimulus or little pressure to keep writing this good story else I would lose my motivation to write.

Plus the new books can't have much advertisement banners/ features to increase its reach after first or second month is over unless it goes premium.

So I decided that I willl go premium by end of this week and join win-win event next month to try to post daily chs which I hopefully can write in advance so the story can progress smoothly.
