Chapter 6: Attack

My Knights came to be busy and became more cautious extremely than before. They also make statements and deliver them to my butler every day so we can investigate everything if there’s an uncertain creature or scenario but thankfully, there wasn’t and I feel at ease for a little because of that.

But even if there’s no suspicious scenario, we still need to be careful and attentive every time. Mostly since the news spread to our world wherein I became the rank 2 of the most wealthy businesswoman in our world. The 1st rank was filled by my mate, Sebastian Lyall Volkov and we know how influential they are in the business world.

Still, we need to be vigilant of everything because of this. All of their gazes are currently directed at us and any time, they make a filthy game to bring us down but I don’t let that happen particularly since my eyes are swiveling black which can’t seem to be averted when they try to torment me.

I still have errands to do but if they hinder my way, I have no option but to bring them down or assassinate them all just to concentrate on my objective, to be powerful enough to locate my sister.

I’m also striving to make my body stronger so that I can fight longer with the vampire. If we are going to focus on fighting, they are more powerful than us so I’m aiming to enhance everything even if I’m already an Alpha because Alpha doesn’t have enough capacity to slay a vampire.

“Ma’am Celeste! One of our maids was murdered by the assassins!” my butler exclaimed which provoked me to stand up, not caring for the stool fell.

“What? How? I thought there was no uncertain creature in our residence so how come?” I inquired and my voice looked like I was frightened but I was just furious because they dared to assassinate us.

“What kind of creature is that?” I gritted my teeth and examined my room to track down my specialized weapons. Good thing, I came to be prepared. If someone is persuaded to attack us, I just need to learn what kind of creature is attacking us.

“It looks like it’s a wizard, Ma’am. I saw her wand when she raised her hand and whispered something before the magic sorted above her wand,” he explained.

So, a wizard dared to attack us? For what? As far as I remember, we didn’t do anything to them so what could be the main reason why they are aiming at us? Because of this scenario, I can’t help but feel scared.

It appears that the unknown creature and the wizard are in alliance but I can’t figure out what kind of unknown creature is that since I have no evidence for this matter. If I’m going to guess that the vampire, who abducted my sister is the one who’s working on this wizard then what is their main agenda to ambush us?

I tilted my head and spotted the bow and arrow that was customized only for the wizard. We need to eliminate this wizard before she delivers a message to someone. I know that they are just threatening us but I can’t fall for this kind of unlawful act.

They are trying to aggravate me but I should persist in peace so they will be the ones to be triggered into the nasty game that they began. I’m not stupid to fear them. What do they think? I’m not going to run and I’m not easy to take down. If they want to eliminate me or beg for them, make me.

“Kill that wizard using this.” I grabbed the bow and arrow on the table and then looked at him, “Make sure to hit the right spot.”

He reached for the bow and arrow before looking down, “Yes, Your Highness Celeste Louve. Your command will be granted.”

I sneered at what I heard because I couldn’t help but feel delighted especially when I imagined that creature begging for help and spare her life or to be free from that kind of situation.

“Don’t forget to call the Doctor so he can treat her wounds or try to examine that filthy maid. We don’t know the actual explanation of why the wizards damage our maid,” I reminded him because it’s doubtful for them to attack someone that’s not that powerful enough.

What if the maid is part of their institution then they execute it because she didn’t succeed in her plan? It’s not proven but there’s a possibility why they did that and it’s better to be cautious than be stupid about her surroundings. I can’t let some creature kill my subordinates even if they didn’t do anything. Besides, they are in my territory and it’s also my job to protect and revenge them.

When my butler leaves my room to eliminate that wizard, I can’t help to be irritated. I thought, there were no threats because we appeared to be safe for the past few days but right now, we are getting attacked by a wizard whom I can’t remember we met or interacted with.

Things are getting chaotic and I can’t even think of a solution to save myself from everything who dared to lay their fingers at me. I know, I have the power to slay them all but I can’t even barely count them since the business world is too vast. What's more, if I’m going to add the wizards and vampires?

I thought I’d be able to fix everything in just a span of a few months but right now, that’s impossible. It’s getting turbulent now and I can’t connect everything. If only I could locate the creature who’s working on this kind of plan, a nasty plan then I could proceed to kill him but presently, It’s tough, too tough to connect everything.

“Damn! I didn’t even think about the intentions for this and this is more overwhelming than I thought it could be,” I whispered and massaged my head because it was starting to ache.

It would be easier if I told my mate about this matter but I can’t, for now. It’s too early for him to know my problem particularly since we haven’t done the ritual. If we can perform the ritual then there's a possibility that I could share my problems with him because I will believe his intentions are real and I could trust him immediately because we are now one.

But it’s too early for me to perform the ritual. Not because he is my mate, I can do that right away. It’s not easy. If only I’m free and not facing any obstacles in my life, that I’m running for my life then we’ll be able to do that. To love him and be with him forever without any anxiety someday that he or I will vanish. But we can’t. We can’t do that for now so I have to endure everything and fix this as much as possible.

I can’t be with him if I’m still in the middle of the fight. I still need to finish everything so the fear in my heart will disappear. I need to win this battle. For the sake of my sister, my family, and my future with my mate.
