*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
A knock was heard, Evane opened her door and a frown appeared on her face,
"What is it?" She questioned.
"I apologize for disturbing your sleep, Lady Evane, but Sir Benjamin told to give this letter to you. He told it is an urgent ssage that can't be delayed."
Evane grabbed the letter and nodded.
"Alright, you have done your job, you can leave."
"Yes, Lady Evane."
The guard nodded and hurriedly walked away.
"Hmmm? Why don't we catch that guard?" Felberta, who was sitting inside Evane's room questioned with a frown on her face.
"There is no use, that man wouldn't even know what is written inside the letter, he was just ordered to deliver. He is not involved in this."
Ember replied.
"That guard looked plenty suspicious to ," Allura spoke.
"The way he walked away so hurriedly looked suspicious indeed," Felberta comnted. That was the reason why she talked about capturing the guard in the first place.
"He is bothering the woman who would very likely beco the next Ruler of this Kingdom in the middle of the night, of course he would act strangely, don't think too deeply about it.
Things like these are usually done with the help of vast chains, if we try to capture them from the bottom, we would only move around and around while the ones behind them would run away."
Ember spoke.
"Is there a network really that deep? Isn't it dangerous? We should get rid of this network once Evane becos the Queen."
Felberta spoke.
"We will have all the ti in the world to do so, don't worry."
Ember chuckled.
Felberta smiled as well.
"It is as we expected."
Suddenly, Evane muttered.
The won's attention turned towards her and Evane continued,
"They kidnapped Lucas while he was drinking inside a bar."
"Sotis I feel like Amaya can ti travel. TO predict sothing so accurately, is it even possible?"
Suddenly, Ember comnted.
"Well, Lucas drinks, while Raguel would need soone who could force Evane out of her room and essentially the Royal Palace, so it was pretty obvious."
Felberta replied.
"It is only obvious because it has already happened. She predicted this the mont Riona talked about this plan. It's not the sa.
Also, it is not like this is her first ti doing sothing like this, is it?"
Ember questioned.
"I would agree, she is indeed gifted."
Felberta nodded.
Ember nodded as well, however, Felberta continued,
"She is still a bitch nonetheless."
"I won't disagree there."
Ember nodded.
Seeing how these won had started talking about a completely random topic while her brother is kidnapped, Evane couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
These won didn't care about her brother at all.
Well, she understood what they were thinking as well.
Lucas didn't exactly have a likable personality and after what happened with Lovis, Evane's attachnt with her brothers decreased a little.
She won't lie, she was still worried about her brother, however, unlike before, when she would have tried to rush to the location without any plans, she was sitting on a chair without much change in her expression.
Another reason she wasn't that worried was that she knew that they won't hurt Lucas until she is not there.
They might rough him up a little, but at the very least, they won't kill him.
That much was enough.
"Girls, are you ready?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared inside the room where all the won were and spoke.
"We are."
Ember nodded with a smile on her face.
This ti, Lane was the one who took the initiative and quickly walked toward Nux to hug him.
Nux, of course, hugged her back and, after covering his face with a mask, he smiled,
"Shall we go then?"
"Mhm."
Evane nodded.
The two of them then left the room, the rest of the won activated [Conceal] and left as well.
…
On the other side, Raguel who was standing next to Lucas smiled with a wide smile on his face,
"W-Why are you doing this!?" Lucas questioned with a frightened look on his face.
"Heh! Don't bla , bla that bitch Evane." Raguel smiled as he stomped on Lucas's head.
"Ugghh! What h-h-have I done?"
"Well, you were quite rude to that day, weren't you?"
Hearing his words, Lucas's face went pale.
"B-Brother, E-E-Eldest Brother, I was only joking that day! No one else but you can beco the Next King! You want my Grandfather's support, do you not? I-I will talk to my Grandfather myself.
You don't have to get your hands dirty by killing ."
"Hmm? Who said I am going to kill you?"
Suddenly, Raguel frowned.
"W-What do you an?" Lucas frowned.
"You are only a bait, you idiot. My real target is our beloved sister. Also, I do not need your Grandfather's help now, once I deal with that bitch, there would be no option left but you."
"B-Bait?"
Lucas frowned in confusion and fear.
"Yes, that Bitch Evane is quite affectionate with you, right? Hope that her affection is not just a show. I have already sent her a letter if she cares about you, she would co here for sure, however, if she doesn't, then… hehehe~"
Raguel laughed creepily.
Lucas's face paled even more.
"N-N-No! I am sure she will be here! Our relationship might have soured a little since I was a little rude to her, however, I am sure she still sees as her dear brother, especially after Lovis is dead.
I am sure she will be here."
Lucas spoke.
Even though he knew he was bait and they were targeting Evane using her, he didn't care about it at all, with all his heart, he hoped that Evane would be here to save him.
He hoped that the two of them would fight and kill each other, that way, he could run away and co out of this situation alive.
"Hahaha~ Just hope what you said is true."
Raguel laughed.
"Yes Yes! I am sure she will be here. S-So please let go."
"Let go? Do you real-"
Raguel wanted to reply, however, suddenly, a figure wearing black colored clothes walked in and spoke,
"I heard footsteps, they are here."
Hearing this, Raguel's smile widened even more.
His plan would succeed, and he would finally beco the Next King.
