Chapter 21:Running Away From Home
"Did you get caught?"
"No,master."He bowed his head again.
"Hmm?Then did she see you in your cat form?"
Then silence filled the atmosphere.
Ion was thinking what to say.
"Ion.I asked you an easy question.Do you dare lie to your master?"
"Master,I beg for your mercy and hear my word!"He begged.
"Hmmm?"His master walked towards him then he grabbed his chin with his hand.
They looked at each other's eyes.Then Ion felt the strong pressure surrounding from his master that his body can't move but helplessly trembled.
He hissed.
"I thought that my servant doesn't want his life so that's why he gave it to me.But to think he is begging now?How funny!"He cruelly sniggered.
Ion clenched his teeth,even though his body can't move now because of his master's murderous intent,he still wants to move his mouth to speak for himself.
"No master...I am l-loyal to you forever."Ion stuttered while looking up to his master.Faced with those deep blood red crimson eyes.
"AHAHAHA!You are loyal?Loyal forever you say!"His master then let go of him and only when his master laughed crazily can he finally move from the intense force.
It was his master's will power.His master is beyond powerful than he is...but his master was still poisoned right now that his power decrease into almost half of his half strength.
His master suddenly stopped laughing then coldly demanded.
"Alright.Go on."
"..."
Ion told everything what happened to him to his master that he was caught by a fork but didn't tell him what happened next.
And after the explanation,his master's expression deepened again.
Did he do something wrong?
He already told half the truth.
"Go receive your punishment in the t*****e Chamber."
Ion was horrified.
Upon seeing Ion's reaction,his master smirked.
"You were late in your mission and you did not answer me properly.If you want me to forgive you,please get out of my sight."
Can't protest anything to his master,especially in this situation,he raise his hands then clasped them into a fist bump while his other palm was opened.
"Thank you master for going easy on me."
"You should or else I might send you to a brothel and dress you up as a girl.Serving those noble bastards...It might ease my displeasure towards you."
Brothel?!
Dressing him up as a girl?!
Master...how could he do this to him!
What on earth made him so mad?
He questioned in his thought.
Ion weakly gave a glare to his master but was greeted by his domineering narrowed red crimson eyes again.Giving a dangerous glint at him as if his master was warning him.
"Get out this instant." was written in his face.
As seeing this,Ion quickly averted his eyes then speak for one last time before storming out.
"I'll be going now master!"
His master looked at him running away until he disappeared from his eyes.
He pressed his forehead out of stress.
'How dare that dog touched my precious possesion.I must obtain that little lady now before it gets stolen from me.Little lady~...I am coming for you...You must be ready.'
After he finished his thought,he turned around while his long grayed-silver hair swayed.
Meanwhile back at Avila's Room.
"So you mean?That if I learn how to make pills I can make my body even stronger?"
"Yeah.If you are qualified to be an alchemist first."
"That's easy!After all I was a genius in making poisons back in my world.So if I can make poisons I can also easily make pills!"Avila praised herself whereas Pichi in front of her,floating,rolled his eyes in rage.
"Here she goes again...Bragging herself up."
"You are just jealous that I am talented."
"Hmph.Talented?"He snorted.
"Aiyah!No need to be shy!Praise me more!Where on earth can you find such a person like me!Look I am cute and besides that I am pretty.With a well made body and I am also the top notch assassin let along a poisoner and a doctor?!Where can you find a character like me?"
"Puh!So cocky!"
"Cocky?Heh!It's called self-esteemed!My pride is the best!"
"Hmph.Then will your pride be broken when I say to you that those things that you bragged about yourself were in the past?"
Ack.
Avila was stupefied and speechless that she felt like she will coughed up blood.
"Let along,your clumsiness caused your life to be in despair.I pity you,to be honest."
Feeling like he hit nail in the head,Avila grabbed Pichi's small arms then shaked him around.
"How dare you recall my past!"
"Your past my a**!You recalled it first!I just reminded you what happened next to your past life!You were getting too ahead of yourself that I can't take it any longer!"
"You...I am going to kill you!"
In such a long night,they fought endlessly.Their screams weren't heard by the people and guards around them because they were already asleep in the long night that they have already drained their energy.
Sabrina was already back at her room,sleeping soundly with her roommate,Felisha,who slept beside her in bed.Although,there rooms were close to their young miss,they didn't hear her screams only because Avila's room was also soundproof.
And the other maids' room were far from Avila's.
The headmaid and the butler,of course slept together in one room as they were already married,although they were just married two months ago.
Whereas Avila's brother was asleep in his residence as well as her adopted sister whose rooms were far more kilometers from Avila's room.
As the long night was peaceful and dim there was only one person who was still awake on the Rosea household.
The duke of Rosea,Clarent was still awake.
He was in his office,floodied with pile of paperworks while a lamp was supporting his eyes to read the documents.
He finished reading half of the documents he was assigned to check.
He read page to page until the other document of his work was finished.But still,there was still a lot of way to go.
He sighed in his chair while looking up at his ceiling,feeling dazed and somewhat tired.
Well,of course he is tired now that he hadn't have enough sleep after their departure.
He looked from the ceiling then onto his desk.He saw a lot of his paperworks but there was one thing that caught his eyes.
"Hmmm?"
He picked the small envelope then opened it and there was a folded paper inside.
'It must be a letter?But from who?'
He searched the name of its author then what he saw shocked his eyes.
'Avila?Why is she writing a letter for me now?'
He opened the folded paper and started to read the letter.
[A/N:If you may be wondering why I put out the words inside the parenthesis,just read it as it was erased from Avila's letter to his father.]
|Dear (stupid father)duke,I just wanted to tell you that you are greatly the most (ugliest)handsome and (stupidest)smartest person I have ever met!|
'Why do I feel like her compliments are merely insults to me?'
|I really am very (aggrieved)thankful and (mundaned)blessed to be your daughter!|
'...'
|I (hate)love you so much that I want to (kill)die (you)myself for (myself)you if I could.|
'Does she really love me?'
The duke felt a very scary chill running down his spine by reading this.
But he still continued.
|And now that i have (insulted)said what I wanted to (insult)say to you...let's get to the point here.|
The duke gulped.
'Why are there so many erasures in her letter?And why is it so cold here?'
The window be like:I have been close by you for a long time now.
He took a break as he sip a cup of tea that was left from butler Carl in his table.
Taking a rest at using his eyes for a little bit then continued to read while his other hand was occupied by carrying a small tea cup while the other was holding Avila's paper.
|I want your signature to permit me from going back to the old palace.|
He suddenly spat out the tea from his mouth then released the tea cup from his hand until the tea cup was broken into pieces when it fell on the ground.
He was very shocked.
