Chapter 573 Hannah on a mission!

Everything started with Adele sending that picture in the group by accident. It was just something she took to tease Iblis later, while her and Samuel were doing it in the morning. They enjoyed a lot but during that time, Iblis completely lost herself and acted completely different from her 'ladylike' persona.

The shot was taken from the side, where one could see everyone's faces even Adele who was smiling at the camera while they were doing it in the back. This was the reason why the group was going crazy!

It's not like they didn't know, two of them went to visit him at the estate. It was the fact that they were rubbing it on their faces! Especially Paige and Maia who was jealous to the point of just flying over there but there was a problem.

It was the final test week before the winter break came around. Even if they wanted to, their families would flip out if they found that they ditched their exams. It's not like they could give a proper reason or could evade their security detail without alerting their parents unless one was talking about Sybilla, she was a master when it came to running away!

The next best thing they could come up with was planting their own spy! And what better way to do it was employ Hannah to do it! With her holidays starting early, she was in London already. Her best friend, Kiko was also returning to Japan which meant she had plenty of time to spare.

They immediately called her but didn't tell her any details. Her task was the disrupt Samuel's life by visiting him for few days. With her being in the house, they knew Samuel wouldn't dare to actually scar her sister for life!

Hannah liked the idea because she hadn't been spending much time with him because of his busy schedule. She hoped to visit him before Christmas but with them calling her out of the blue, she decided to take Kiko with her before she took the plane back home.

Hannah didn't know why they insisted on her staying with him but she didn't really care. But she also felt some tension in their voice which made her aware there was something going on behind the scenes.

With everything set, she immediately called Arthur to ask where Samuel was. He was always aware about his location but this time he only knew that he went out shopping in the city. She took Kiko and went looking around that when she saw the movie posters and knew about the London Premier.

It didn't take her long to connect the dots and go to the only Armani store in Central London. She knew Samuel was contracted with them as she and everyone else saw his explosive press conference that generated a lot of buzz because of his controversial speech.

Kiko wasn't optimistic of replaceing him when they first entered the store. Unlike most of the times, if he was shopping the manager would close off the store but there were a lot of people already browsing inside.

That's when they noticed one section of the store was closed off and the rest happened on it's own. Kiko was actually worried when Hannah started verbal battle with the staffs. Especially seeing more people starting to notice them.

She didn't know how the Imperial family would react if someone recognized her. Samuel didn't know about it but something had been going on in Japan. It's probably because his focus was on Europe at the moment.

When she finally saw the his face, she began to calm down. She knew everything would be fine now because she had complete trust in him.

...

...

" Wait! Let them through." Samuel yelled out making everyone look at him. The manager immediately gave way and Hannah rushed and tightly hugged her brother. Kiko also walked over but maintained a steady pace, she couldn't act out in public.

" I am sorry, sir. I didn't know-" The manager realized that they knew each other. She immediately bowed down to apologize but Samuel tapped her shoulders.

" It's fine, you were only doing your job." He did heard the later part of their conversation and knew she was trying to be as respectable as she could but it was Hannah who kept pressing her.

" Hannah you should also apologize to her and stop hanging with Adele! You are becoming more like her, I can't believe such a sweet kid turned into such a brat under her influence." Hearing him call her brat, she showed some remorse and the situation finally calmed down when they went inside.

" Sir, do you need me to bring something..."

" No we are fine. Right, can you also deliver couple of matching ties with the outfit?"

" Of course, I will leave you guys to it then." The manager promptly cleared the room taking her staff with them.

" Grandpa John! You are here too? I heard you retired?"

" Haha, what can I say? It's in my blood. I was only taking young master around for today."

" Mr. John, it's great to see you again."

" My pleasure your highness."

John had been around a long time and already was familiar with most of family guest but he was still respectable toward Kiko because they didn't have much prior interactions and knowing that she was an actual princess, he needed to show her courtesy because it was matter of family's image.

" What are you guys doing here? This is not your usual store right?" Armani might be trending in men's clothing but there were better shops for women in the city. Even though the quality was the same, Armani's stuffs were very expensive.

" Well, we were in the neighbourhood so we thought we could catch up. It's been a while since we spend some quality time together." She threw the hook first.

" How did you even know I was here? Are you secretly following me or something?"

" I asked Grandpa Arthur. He told me."

" But I only told him-" Samuel 

" Stop asking stupid question! I brought Kiko here because she is leaving tomorrow! If you are done here, take us around town." She cut him off before he could suspect something.

" Alright fine. How do you even handle her?" He turned toward Kiko and asked.

" Trust me you don't want to know."

Samuel shrugged and asked John to bring out the car. They talked for few more minutes before scouting if the coast was clear. Maybe an actual fan would come out and surprise him but that didn't happen.

After getting into car, they started talking again.

" How is school going? You guys in first year right?"

" It's going good." She turned away while saying it. Samuel thought it was best not to sour the mood by asking her more about studies.

" What about you your highness?" He asked in fluent Japanese with a teasing smile.

" Samuel-sama! I told you not to address me like this." Kiko retorted getting embarrassed.

" Only when you stop calling me with a 'sama'." He chuckled looking at her reaction.

" Don't tease my friend!"

" Fine, fine. Where are we going by the way?"

" I am driving around in circles since no one told me." John said from the front.

" Where do you guys wanna go?"

" Home! I already asked my mother for permission to stay with you for few days!" She threw line next.

" Fine, everyone will be happy to hear that. I will ask Arthur to clean up your usual room." 

" No! I want to stay with you. I heard you moved into a new house."

" But it's out in the woods? There is nothing to see there." As she thought, Samuel didn't want her to stay with her.

" But-"

" It's not even finished yet. You will have much more easier time staying with others. There is even a ranch that closer to the main mansion, don't you like horses?" He tried his best to distract her but she was after all on a mission!

" Come on big brother! I want to stay with you! Just for few days, please." She brought out her ultimate weapon, her incredibly cute puppy stare along with calling him big brother like she used to in the past.

" I already told you last time that it will not work again!"

" Do you have any reservation why we can't stay there?" Kiko decided to intervene. She promised that she would help her friend.

" Not, it's not like, I mean, there are not enough functioning rooms yet. With Elise running around the house too, I don't want another one in there. Beside no one stays there most of the time." he tried his best to come up with in an excuse.

" It's fine, we can bunk together. Grandpa let's go!"

Why was she so adamant about it? Samuel couldn't figure it out. He also didn't have any more excuses left which meant he had to change her mind before they reach the family estate.
