Chapter 1041 Listening Device

Alice giggled and returned to her room. She needed to prepare for the plan. … The next day. Tamara got her freedom back. The maids no longer stood guard in front of her room, and she could roam around the castle freely. That aroused Tamara’s suspicion. She stood in front of the door with no intention of walking out. Something big must be at play here. Why would Ewan and Alice allow Tamara to roam the castle and get familiar with its layout? Tamara made up her mind. She decided to stay in her room for now. The pair of siblings were shocked to hear the news. The idea that Tamara would pass up the opportunity, even though it was right in front of her, never occurred to them. That meant Ewan’s planned encounter with Tamara would be in vain. Alice’s brows knitted tightly together. “Our plan won’t work if she doesn’t leave her room. What should we do now?” Ewan fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, he mumbled, “If she doesn’t want to come out, we just have to make her. Isn’t Sebastian staying in the room directly above her? It won’t be hard to use this to our advantage.” That piqued Alice’s curiosity. “What do you have in mind, brother dearest?” … Tamara stayed in her room for another day. Neither Ewan nor Alice had come to see her these two days. The only other person she saw was the maid who brought her meals every day. At night. Tamara was lazily flipping through some books when she heard a noise outside her window. A surge of alarm coursed through Tamara as she tensed up, her gaze snapping towards the window. Standing on the balcony was none other than a figure she knew all too well. “Sebastian!” Tamara ran over when she saw who it was. She tore open the balcony doors and jumped into Sebastian’s arms. “Are you okay, Sebastian?” Tamara anxiously checked his pulse. She needed to make sure Alice hadn’t pulled any funny moves on Sebastian. “I’m fine,” smiled Sebastian. He scanned Tamara’s figure. After seeing she was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Come in. How did you know I was here?” Tamara pulled Sebastian into the room. She led him to the couch and stared at him. She didn’t want to miss out on any of his expressions. Sebastian told her everything. He continued, “I knew you were in the room beneath me and decided to come over. But I’m sure the people here aren’t that dumb. They surely knew the risk of putting us so near each other. I bet they even planned our meeting.” “What do they want?” frowned Tamara. Sebastian’s lips curled into a smirk. A cold glint flashed across his eyes, and he said in a hushed tone, “It doesn’t matter what they want. They won’t succeed either way.” “Does that mean you have a plan?” Tamara was pleasantly surprised. Sebastian looked over and suddenly cupped her face. He leaned in and kissed her. “Wait…Sebastian…" Before Tamara could finish her sentence, Sebastian leaned in for another kiss. Tamara shoved him away in annoyance. She wanted to know what his plan was. Sebastian was relentless. He sucked on her lips and whispered, “There’s a listening device here.” Shock flashed across Tamara’s eyes before it was replaced by a burning rage. Their behavior was despicable beyond measure. They deliberately allowed Sebastian to come over and even planted a listening device in her room. They must have wanted to know what the couple’s next move was. Tamara was furious, but her anger quickly turned into something else.
