Laura submerged her whole body into the warm water. Surrendered all her senses into silence for a while. Then bubbles appeared from around her nose.
'Puha!' her head popped out of the water, creating small waves in the tub. She took a deep breath. The scent of flowers wafted into her nostrils. It was her favorite lilac flower oil scent.
After letting the water on her face drip off on its own, Laura wiped her face.
'Tonight is that woman's last night. It might as well be my last night to enjoy this warmth.' Laura gathered her knees together and hugged them.
It had been five days since she had first poisoned Fuschia every morning. Laura who knew Fuschia's habits very well, and had the authority to inspect her food, had great access to poison her.
According to the alchemist she met in a wooden house in an alley, it took five days for the poison to accumulate in the human body, then launch its action, that stops the heart. A clear poison that is diffic
“Dylan, turn around. I heard a faint voice calling my name.”"I didn't hear anything." Dylan lied nonchalantly. In fact, he had heard the hoarse voice of the woman who had been calling out Fuschia's name since before. But he is reluctant to let Fuschia going back to a cunning woman like Laura who intends to kill Fuschia and her baby."No. I'm sure it was Laura's voice. Come on, turn around." Fuschia sway her body. She thought by that, Dylan's hold will loosen a little, then she could walk towards Laura's voice.But,Dylan chuckled, then rub his head on Fuschia's head. Dylan is like a cat pampering its humans. 'Just say you don't have the heart to leave that woman there. Your too kind heart is what makes people dare to step on you. But now, I will not let them take what is yours.'Dylan brought Fuschia closer. “Hold me tighter, Fuschia.”"Okay!"They returned to the dirt road in the dark forest, relying only on
Hmm, it is a good day to ruined someone's life.I have been waiting for this day to come for a long time. Even though Albertus is not the final boss of my revenge mission, but I invested enough of my time to rob everything he has. When I thought about what Albertus had done to me in my previous life, my blood boils hotter.Tonight was Albertus' schedule to visit the Casino basement. According to Mbayul's report, after midnight at this date, Albertus will open the safe with two other men to put their money in.After I investigated, the other two men were a Count and the owner of the Casino – which Hayden was about to confiscate in a month. I don't know what kind of political maneuver Hayden devised to trick the Casino owner into handing over his ownership to Hayden, but from my investigation, the Casino owner wasn't the smart type – unlike his sneaky, eel-like predecessors.'Hmm, I guess the former Casino owner misplaced the person as his succe
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
