Robin chuckled and pulled away. He turned to look at Light and he suddenly froze.When I glanced at him, his jaw almost dropped to the floor and his eyes widened while staring at Light.Both Light and I giggled at his reaction."What the hell?! There's a mini Arielle!" he blurted out and I couldn't help but burst into laughter."Pfft,""Arielle's husband, my name is Light!" Light said and I couldn't help but blush.Robin recovered from the shock. "Ah, so you're the little girl earlier. Hold on—" Robin looked at me questioningly. "Why does she look like you?" he asked nervously.Light smirked, and I knew that look."Light is my—""I'm Arielle's daughter!" Light said proudly, cutting me off.Oh, damn. I glared at Light and she just stuck her tongue out again and suppressed a laugh. This little cat is so naughty!I was about to explain when I saw Robin's face. He looked dumbfounded as if his soul left his body."How can this be?" he mumbled. "No. I'm just dreaming. There's no way Arielle
The next day.We check out of the inn and move to a house Isabella bought for us to stay. It's a little farther in the center of the capital, but when we get there, we like the scenery.It's peaceful, and it's perfect for our hideout. There were witches in the neighborhood and they all knew Rosheen and Violetta.When I asked Isabella how she found this place, she said it was Violetta who recommended this place.According to Violetta, this subdivision is owned by the Cullen Family, which doesn't discriminate against witches. A rumor says a witch saved Warlord Augustus Cullen during a war with the vampires. That Witch is Rosheen's grandmother. As gratitude, the warlord built a subdivision for witches to stay in the capital.Thus, in this tiny subdivision, witches gathered and were protected by the warlord from other vicious werewolves.This place is perfect for us. We can disguise ourselves as witches.After settling down, everyone left the house and scattered throughout the capital to
Since we couldn't enter the library, Light and I strolled around some streets and alleys. To gather more information, we entered café’s and pubs that commoners frequented. It took us a few hours, and now it's ten past five in the afternoon.Sometimes commoners know something that the nobles don't. So it's better to mingle with the commoners.As we entered the pub, it was already full of people; chatting, drinking, and laughing.Light and I sat at the corner with our hoods on and observed the people while eavesdropping their conversation. I know it's not appropriate to eavesdrop, but I can only gather information this way."Hey, I heard that Duke Preston had a conflict with the Golden Crest Pack at the border.""Yeah. I think Duke Preston had a squabble with the Guinevere Family of the Golden Crest Pack about the military supplies.""Arthur Guinevere is so petty, and he deliberately provoked Duke Preston.""Those nobles only think about their interests.""Enough about those buffoons. I
Hiding from me is their biggest mistake. I closed my eyes and then used my dragon frost breath. A huge portion of the forest turned frozen with my ice power and the demonic beast's growls echoed throughout the forest. The temperature quickly decreased to a certain degree.Soon, they showed up and glared daggers at me. They were talking in their language. However, it's nothing I couldn't understand.Thanks to the books in the Tower of Order that Great Americus left for me, I learned all the beast language, including the demonic language."This entity is dangerous! We need to report it to the High Lord!""Let's kill it together!""Kill!""Die! Puny humans!"It’s amusing. These lowly demonic beasts think they could kill me with their mere strength. "Sorry to burst your bubbles, but I won't let you all escape from my grasp. You'll regret stepping into this realm!" I said using their language and in the blink of an eye, I covered the frozen forest with an ice sphere barrier, enveloping us
A few hours later, at twenty-past-two, the car arrived at the capital. I tap the car's roof to stop. The driver quickly pulled over on the side.Tracy Muller got out of the car and watched us leap off from the roof. She looked at us with admiration."Tracy, thank you for the ride!" I said with a smile. "Don't mention it. It's the least I could do. Well, Arielle, if you don't mind, may I see your face? I would like to remember my savior!" Tracy looked at me with anticipation."Do you want to see my face as well, pretty lady?" Light chimed excitedly. I rolled my eyes. Of course, Light will show off her cuteness again. "He-he! Of course!"Light excitedly took off her hood and made a cute pose. "Aren't I the cutest?""Oh my! You are so adorable!" Tracy beamed as if she saw hearts. She couldn't even stop herself from pinching Light's cheeks. And Light giggles adorably. With a smile, I slowly took off my hood, and Tracy turned to look at my face. I was taller than her, so she looked up w
[Third-Person POV]Somewhere in human territory. As Arielle shared her past grievance with Isabella and the rest of the group, a dark figure with a ghost mask stared out the window facing the Werewolf Empire, or to be more precise, the Dagon Forest, with a gloomy aura."Dammit! Whoever you are that ruined the formation and killed all my underlings, I will find you to the ends of the earth and make you pay!" the person said in a sinister and deep voice as though it came from a cave."Curses! It took me years to gather that much energy from that location. That person even shattered the crimson ball. What a waste!" the person grumbled and clenched his fist.However, there's nothing he could do at the moment but swallow his anger in silence. For now, he should focus on gathering more reinforcements to every location of the formations to prevent something like this from happening again. He can't afford to lose another formation, or all his painstaking efforts will go to waste."Watch me c
[Arielle's POV]"Let's kill that bastard!" Avallona, Eloise, and Liana said angrily after hearing my story. Their faces darkened, and they looked like they wanted to kill someone at this instant. Even Isabella and Ricky turned gloomy, and they were even more furious. Despite this, they didn't lose composure, unlike the three girls. I smiled wryly. "Guys, there's always a time for revenge. Anyway, let's change the topic. How's your investigation going? Any news?" I asked.They all shook their heads. "No clue. It's like no one knew Leonora at all." Liana sighed. "We were like looking for a needle in a haystack." Avallona and Eloise grumbled. "Yeah. I've been trying to ask old people around, but only an old man living in a dilapidated house shows a different reaction. He instantly got angry at the mention of Leonora and even shooed me away. Furthermore, he looked terrified as though he could get killed any second if he said anything." Ricky said. Avallona frowned. "That's strange.
Since my room was ruined, I could only accept Robin's offer to come with him and stay at his mansion.In the end, he even offered the others to come with us as well rather than rent in this small place according to Robin.When Robin mentioned his mansion, the girls quickly agreed without a second thought. They even look so excited. I could only smile wryly.Soon, we were all ready to leave after everyone had packed their things. I'm the only one who wasn't busy since I accidentally burned all my things.For some reason, I keep feeling that I forgot something important. What is it? I frowned and pondered.Suddenly, my eyes widened when I realized that Light was missing. Where did she go?Immediately, I grabbed Eloise who was closer to me. "El, did you see Light?""Light? Oh, she went to the neighborhood to play. She said she found something interesting there.""What?!"I quickly dashed towards the neighborhood. Then I saw Light playing with a kid, laughing heartily.Furthermore, Light
