I slowly descended to the underground tunnel, following Merri who was in the front row carrying a torch. Due to a large number of magic particles available in the air, my underground tunnel could form stably and firmly. Because of the adhesiveness, there is no seepage of water on the soil wall.
I have to admit, I have amazing talent on earth magic.
Helped by Merri's fire magic ability which is increasing every day, we don't have to be afraid of the dark because she makes small fireballs that stick to the tunnel walls. It's like a secret ancient passageway in archeology films.
Laura was in the back row dragging a trolley made of wood, which would later be used to store the loot.
“This is amazing...” Laura murmured in amazement.
"Hmph." I raise my shoulders even more. “Laura, I intend to use this method to get your mother out of the Lanchaster residence. What do you think?"
The only sound that could be heard was the sound of
Clank. TakThe silver-haired man – who is actually a prince from the Haddad Kingdom who was on the run, fiddled with the cover of his match lighter. Then he cast a sharp glance at Dylan."Are you sure you can do it?" He asked."Yeah.""And you only asked for a house for your payment?""Mhm,"In his past life, the Prince offered Dylan to join as his soldier. Dylan helps the Prince to seize the throne of the Haddad kingdom along with his army. He also helped him get rid of his other brothers who were in line to the throne. After successfully usurping his father's throne, and succeeding in occupying the position of king, the Prince gave him a house in the suburbs of the kingdom.It was the house he had prepared as a place to live for Fuschia when he managed to take her away.But because he was too focused on helping the prince of the Haddad kingdom, he didn't know the state of Fuschia who was in prison. And when he returned
“What the fu*k! Where's all my money?!” The casino owner rushed to open his compartment lock.His face was pale with cold sweat dripping down his forehead. His hands were shaking as he tried to turn the key on the lock, but the lock wouldn't open. “F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”“Quenzo...”Click. The casino owner finally managed to enter his compartment and then witnessed with his own eyes that all the gold he had been gone. He circled his compartment throwing curses, then showered the walls with punches. All that was left in his compartment was a mahogany wardrobe previously filled with piles of gold coins that he displayed there.The Count and Albertus were both clenching their fist as they saw from outside that their accumulated gold was also not in the compartment.“Who did this? Who the hell stole my treasure?!” The Count pulled Albertus' collar up high. He cursed Albertus even to the point of spitting out
Chirping.Even if no one woke me up, my eyes opened on their own. "Good morning, baby." I caress my bumpy tummy.Every day, I feel more than my baby is growing well inside. Often I'm surprised how calm my baby is inside the tummy – which only kicks me every once in a while when I call out to him. Isn't that adorable?Outside, I hear birds chirping, cool wind, and sunny sky.It was a perfect morning.Wash up, change clothes, get dressed up, have a simple breakfast with no one annoying in my bedroom.There was no blockage in this series of events like water flowing.Maybe because I took away the things from Hayden, my strawberry juice became sweeter.I put down the glass of juice I had finished and mutter when looked out of the window. “Nice morning. Do you feel it, Merri?”"Of course, milady."Yesterday afternoon, Merri and Laura finished moving all the treasures from the vault to the underground
Her boiling rage was slowly seething when, she felt a small kick from inside her stomach, which seemed to remind her that the human in front of her isn't worth anything.Fuschia takes a deep breath. The pounding of her heart gradually subsided. 'Thank you, baby.'"I'm sure you have those secrets that I don't know of," Fuschia's tone was imbued with a faint sneer."Like a secret that you're playing with fire with the musical actors and some of the other boys."Albertus gasped. “What-what are you talking about?”“Oh Albertus, come on! I know you forced some of those young men to have sex with you. Hmm, what will happen to you if His Majesty the King finds out that a butler in his palace is a sinner?”“That- that... that... how?”Fuschia rolled her eyes. "Aren't you tired of asking me 'how' all this time?"Albertus was more shaken than before. So far he has managed to hide his night activities n
I waited a little longer for the carriage to pick us up, then walked out leisurely. Behind me, there was Mr. Louise and his assistant who walked back and forth while carrying four large suitcases headed for the carriage trunk that had just arrived.Merri and I gave each other a thumbs up.The sunset was slowly setting and painting the sky red. It was quiet and silent outside after finishing unloading the luggage. I wave at Mr. Louise and his assistant.I saw flocks of birds flying in droves as the horses started kicking and drive the carriage away. Birds are migrating.Birds that cross the continent every year visit the capital to rest their tired bodies on the roof of houses, trees, or some just landed on the streets of the capital to peck some food on the ground. It was because there were few people when this street is usually crowded with pedestrians.As this place is usually crowded, carriage drivers are more afraid of pedestrians who dominate
At my rebuke, everyone paused.Hayden winced at my words, closing his lower lip. He doubted his ears as this is the first time I raise my voice at him. Maybe this is a surprise for him. And I feel somehow refreshed a little bit.He created me as a generous and patient wife, so I will give it all back to him.I explained calmly to them, who seemed a little calm.“I heard that Albertus stole the salary of the servants, so why are you blaming them who have been victims, Your Highness? How can I lift my head if the people who work under me don't get the welfare they deserve?”I turned my head toward the man with brown hair. “Mr. Head of Household affair, I want to make up for the shortfall in wages with my own money.”Everyone gasp.“Pa-pardon, Your Highness?”“Laura, prepare some money to make up for the lack of wages for the employees in my palace who have fallen victim to Albertus. Then
The palace was still shaken by the news of Albertus' escape. Whether it's from the servants, official officers, or even members of the nobility who have business in the royal palace, in every conversation they had, Albertus' name was always tucked away.Almost all the palace servants blasphemed Albertus for betraying the trust of the Crown Princess – who generously returned the servants' wages with her own money. Even though they knew that it was Hayden who was actually spending the money, they still complimented me. Well, I thank you for that.But that different from the view of the nobles, for them I looked dumber than I already was. Many of them mocked me for having been tricked by someone from a lower caste, and they also said that I had tarnished the honor of a noble. Even debates about my legitimacy as the Crown Princess have sprung up. They told me that I wasn't ready to be Crown Princess yet, so they started to work out small steps to push their daughters
“Yes, Your Highness. As of today, the financial support and sponsorship that you provided to the four orphanages, has been revoked.” Said Laura."Good. It must have been bad news for them, but it was the best way. Then, what about my letter to Lady Bellrose and Lady Almaren?”“That too I have sent, Your Highness.”"Good job, Laura. You're getting closer to the final mission in your quest for repentance."Laura looked at Fuschia who was leaning on the backrest of her bed, with a deep gaze. “Yes, Your Highness. Thanks to your benevolence, this subject is able to restore the honor of a noble, hmm no, the honor of the human being.”Fuschia giggled. “You learned so much don't you?”"Yes." Laura still stayed where she was looking at Fuschia.Lately, she often found her eyes always fixed on Fuschia. Observing every movement Fuschia made became a new hobby for her. She knew that Fuschia wa
