2385 Words
In the middle of a forest under the night raining sky. A lady is running furiously, running for her life. She already knows that this will happen but she doesn't know that it will happen too soon. She wasn't prepared at all. Although she already knew this would happen yet she didn't prepare at all like she didn't care. She's too numb and tired of fighting for her life every day. She just wanted to rest or better yet sleep forever. But she knows she can't yet. So she runs as far as she can. Until she was cornered with almost 100 people surrounding her. She chuckled. "I'm flattered, you hired this many people just to catch me." She is amazed, look at these people. They build an alliance just for her! isn't it great? "Of course, of course. You are the great assassin we're talking about here. of course, one must put an effort just for you." A handsome lad appeared with his hands on his pockets. "Long time no see, Ella. How are you?" He casually asked like they are not surrounded by many armed men. "Still remember me? I'm amazed. The great mafia boss remember my name!" These people are extremely dangerous. The handsome guy she's talking to is no other than Markias Elkenov, he's a mafia boss of a very powerful clan. Ella exactly knows that her chance of surviving tonight is very low and next to impossible. Just imagine 100 armed men is surrounding you and all are skillful in martial arts She will even bet all her properties that there are still more than a hundred people more lurking in the dark while waiting for the command of their boss to attack. She's obviously in a critical situation right now. And even she will fight them head-on, winning is still impossible. She's still Human after all. No matter how much skill full she is, she's still human, and getting tired is also in her vocabulary "How can I forget you, my Ella?" Markias said with gentleness and softness in his voice. Ella shook his head, Markias is a psychopath. He is mentally ill, he's obsessed with her but Ella doesn't like him even just a little bit. They meet in an auction house and that's the time his obsession starts. But Ella doesn't give a damn about him, she doesn't have time for that. "Leave me alone!" Ella said coldly. "No! I won't! Your mine and mine alone!" "I'm.Not.Yours! so leave me alone!" But he laughed like a mad man. And in a swift move, he's already right Infront of Ella and he's already choking her with one hand. "Leave you alone? after you killed my parents?" He madly said and even tighten his grip. On the other hand, Ella is hardly catching her, she was surprised by his move which is the reason why she doesn't have time to dodge. "N-nothing p-personal. Business is a business.." she manages to say even though she's almost out of breath. But those words she says, just make Markias even angrier. He throws her like trash. Ella groan when her head hit a rock. She felt dizzy, even though she wanted to stand up but it feels like her body is already giving up. "Stand up you b***h! I thought you were the legendary assassin? So Don't f*****g act like you are a weak innocent lady now!" When she still didn't make it to stand up. Markias pulled her up and punched her. "Y-your parents betrayed us. Traitors need to die. Be thankful, I just gave them an easy death." She said and even managed to smirk and chuckle. She wipes the blood on her lips and smirk. "Should I say thank you for giving them an easy death then?"He sarcastically asked. "Yes..." Ella said nonchalantly. He laughed again but without humor and once again in a swift move he's already in Infront of Ella Choking her. "I will kill you!" SHE WOKE up cathing her Breath. She remembers how she died in the hands of that Markias. She got tortured first before she got killed. Uncounted bullets buried in her body. Markias is so mad that day, so he shoots her until all the bullets of his gun are gone. She touched her chest, trying to calm herself down. And damn her head is aching again. "Are you okay?" "Do you think I'm okay? stupid old hag." He chuckled. This old man is weird. She thought. A CREEPY smile appeared on her lips while looking at the crowded place down her. These people are stupid. Aren't they? She's at the tree top, watching stupid people that rushed from going inside the Arena. Today is the first examination round for those teenagers that wanted to enter 'Grandeur Academy'. Well everyone wants to enter. Grandeur Academy is one of the heck prestigious school. That only nobles and Royalties can afford to pay their tuition. But the good news is, Grandeur academy is open for scholarships. So every year Every teenager prepares for this Examination. Why are they in rush? Can't they just wait for their turn? She mumbled to herself She rolled her eyes heavenwards before she leaned in the nearest brunch in where she was. She better sleep for now. She's not that interested in the examination anyways. ah...if only---nevermind SHE BOREDLY looked at the girl in front of her. She looks so determined in defeating her But do you think she will just let her? Even though she can afford to enter that academy without taking this examination, She still insists. Where's the fun if she will not take this examination and just pay her tuition. right? And besides, she loves the thrill. Is she that desperate to enter that academy? ah. if I can just stay at home and sleep maybe she can enter then. But sorry for her. Even if I didn't want to enter that academy. I need to. It's about time. She mumbled to herself. "Are you belittling me?" She roared angrily. Why is she angry? She thought. She's confused. Why did this girl in front of her become angry? Eh, She hasn't done anything yet, so why this girl is blazing in anger? Ella grew up alone and distant from anyone in her past life. Experiencing this is new to her. Although, the old man trains her and introduces to her what she should know and what are do's and don't but still this is her first time. In her past life, she doesn't have the chance to attend school or to have a friend with anyone. She grew up in training, torture, and killing. That is where her life rounds. On the other side, the girl named Hara almost burst out of anger. This girl is belittling her! how dare she? She's been respected in their city because of her skilled ability. Then this girl that looks so poor and ordinary, look so bored while fighting with her? is she wishing a death wish? She made up her mind then. She will surely beat this girl to a pulp. Well, that's What she plans. But why is she now lying on the ground, can't move, and badly injured? How did it happen? A while ago, she got the upper hand but why---? Anyway, Hara Tried her best to stay awake and even tried her best to stand up. But she failed. She's a failure, she failed her father, and also she failed to reach her dream. She fell unconscious, with the feeling of failure with her. Oh, poor little hara. ELLA HEAVE A sigh before she went out in her carriage and went inside their residence. Maids greeted her but she didn't even give them a look. She's tired right now. "Young lady Eliora, Your father wants to see you..." Her maid, Muna said. "Where is he?" "At the library, young lady..." She nodded her head and went to the Library. She knocked three times before she goes in. "Greetings Father..." She meet the cold eyes of her father but she didn't flinch, she's used to it. Her father heave a sigh and signaled her to come closer which she followed at once. "How's the examination?.." her father asked gently, he touched her hair lovingly. After a month of staying in the forest with grandpa Aroi. Eloira's father found her and bring her back to X city. According to the memories of the real owner of this body. Elloira is a daughter of a great General of the X city. Everyone respected him but for an unknown reason, someone tried to assassinate Elloira, and that lead her to her almost death. Well, she died. I mean Eloira's soul is already dead. And that makes Ella Monrue's soul access her body and make it hers. Ella Monrue is still confused why she got transmitted in this First-century era-like modern world. She is an assassin for Pete's sake. She lives to kill and kill. But why the heck does she need to act innocent and Saint? You see, Elloira Syvres is known for being good and saint-like. And Ella doesn't have any choice but act like her. She doesn't want anyone to know that she's not Elloira or else... Anyway, She smiled and giggle at her father's question... "I passed, Father. Of course, it was you who trained me..." Ella almost cough blood when she heard her voice. It sounded like an angel and it's very far from her cold voice in her past life. Great General Silveste Chuckled at her daughter. "Now, now. My little princess has a flowering tongue. hmm" "Father, I'm being honest.." She then pouts. "Alright, alright. You are but don't pout...." Her father pinches her cheeks. "Father stop it... I'm not a kid anymore!" "What? You're still a kid for me... Your just twelve!" "Yes, I'm twelve but I'm already a big girl!" "Okay, now, now. Don't pout. But why do have to go through that examination? I can provide your tuition in that academy. " His face became serious. "I just don't want other people to know... " "What?..." "That I'm the daughter of the great general and I'm just a scholar..." "And what do you mean by that young lady?... are you ashamed that I'm your father?" "No it's not like that, but..." "Okay, I get.... you ashamed of me.." "Father it's not like that okay? it's just that I wanna like to have some thrill. That's it..." "Are you sure?" "Of course. And seriously father? why would I be ashamed that you are my father? You're the great general of X city so how is that to be ashamed of? wherein fact it's something to be proud of..." Her father chuckles at that. ELLA SCRATCHES her nape and looks at the big gate Infront of her. This is it, her mission is about to start now. She giggled at that thought, who would have thought that even in her second life she still have to do a mission. Even though her mission is far way more different from her past life. It's still a mission. Elloira, the owner of the body wanted her to find out who dared to kill her. She wanted revenge, If you think that Elloira is an innocent and saint-like well, dream on. Cause she is not. Being the daughter of the great General. Pressure is one of her top problems and secondly the enemies of her father. Third her mortal enemy, her wicked witch mother and forth... And yes, her being a saint-like and innocent young lady is just a font. Good thing, Ella is good at acting and manipulating emotion. So the revenge that Elloira asked for is just a piece of cake. Anyway, she went inside the campus and went to her classroom. Her looks are not eye-catching since she disguises herself. So that everyone wouldn't care about her. Well you see, the body she's having right now is a total goddess. She can even lure a man without doing anything. I'm not exaggerating but seriously, she's a goddess. So she needed to put brown powder to tuner down her beauty. She doesn't need attention for now. Anyway, she reaches her respective class fast. As soon she's in front of the door she opened it casually. Everyone looked at her for once then get back to their business. She roams her eyes to look for her seat. She chooses the sit from the back near the bookshelves and sliding window. Minutes passed their teacher, appear in front. No introduction, nor anything. She immediately proceeds teaching not minding the rants of the students. But the teacher didn't care at all. HOURS passed finally, the class got ended. She got up from her seat and drag herself to the cafeteria. She ate up her snacks immediately. After that, she didn't get back to her supposed to be class. Since it is not that required. As long as you can pass the examination at the end of the semester, then everything is good... She was about to leave the cafeteria when a group of boys and girls caught her attention. It's not because she's attracted or what but because they are... Royalties She's not a fan of Royalties but she needed to know and must have connections with them. They will play a great role in her chessboard when her game starts. She smirks at that thought. be ready royalties _ "HEY, I HEARD that the King of the Cunnwood palace will hold a party for the birthday of haze, the 1st princess," the 2nd prince of Kerto Kingdom said. "Yeah, I heard that too. Well, what's new? Haze is the 1st princess after all" "Your Right, the party is surely grand since it's her 18th birthday" IN THE palace, everyone is busy with the upcoming party for the 1st princess. Of course, they should be. Besides, It is not just a normal birthday party but an engagement party too. Yes, this is her engagement party with the crowned Prince of kerto kingdom. Actually, no one knows about this, even the princess who'd be engaged. Only The king of Cunnwood, the King of kerto, and 1st prince of kerto, Hermon Dain Kerto. •Threepercim•
