He was losing a lot of blood and things were not looking good at all. He could hardly evade its attacks and counter-attacking was clearly not an option. The space was just too narrow. Carcel could only hope that Kyra had made it out of the alley safely and that Damien had taken her away to get help or something.
He could no longer use his left hand and his right thigh was slashed and bleeding profusely. The thought of him dying crossed his mind and he smiled. He hadn't gotten the opportunity to confess his feelings more seriously yet. He couldn't die here. He blocked another attack when he heard Kyra scream from behind him. He turned around, forgetting that he had an opponent to face and got slashed in the back as well. He fell to his knees and gritted his teeth in pain. He had to save Kyra, was she unable to get to Damien? Were there two of the monsters? Why was no one coming to their aid even though they were making so much noise and the night market was not that far awayBack at the academy, everyone was throwing a fit after finding out that three of their students had been kidnapped. And not just any ordinary students, but the only daughter of the De Leta house, the only son of the Laton house and the 1st Prince of the Balverich empire. The Headmaster let out a big sigh that could be heard by the Club president and his executives over the crystal ball used for communication. He had to keep things under wraps and find the kids quickly. Nothing like this had ever happened before. There were a lot of suspects as to who might have kidnapped the 1st prince, but none came to mind when it came to the De Leta villainess or the Golden heir. All hell could break loose if word got out about this, so the headmaster had already instructed that all students on the trip should be cut off from communicating with outsiders, especially their parents. The trip would have to be put on hold until the students were found. "Headmaster, what should we do?" the president as
"We will now read out the crimes of Kyra de Leta. Attempted murder of the saintess candidate, use of witchcraft to seduce the crowned Prince and plotting treason against the royal family with the entire De Leta family. She shall be beheaded by the Kingdom's Swordsmaster, Duke Kion". How did it come to this? I didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted all that was rightfully mine. But why? why must you betray me like this Kion? I treated you like family but yet you betrayed me. Down on her knees, Kion approached and whispered something into her ears before stepping back and unsheating his sword. With rage burning deep in her eyes and heart she muttered at him "I will get my revenge you illegitimate bastard scum-"Fwoosh. With a downwards strike of his blade, her head came clean off and she plunged into darkness. With a solemn prayer in her heart, she wished and prayed that if there is any God or sovereign being out there somewhere, who knows she has been treated unfairly. She pleaded for
It's been about 2 weeks since the incident and Kion has been behaving strangely. At first I thought he would submit to me completely but he has been behaving adamant and suspicious of me. Well, I can't really say I blame him since the Duke's only beloved daughter took him in like some kind of pet. Much to Kyra's displeasure it took longer than expected to make Kion trust her fully. She had to play the role of a little girl being head over heels for him to perfection. But it wasn't going smoothly at first because he was suspicious of her intentions. But after a lot of effort he had finally succumbed to her and she hoped he would remain convinced that she had indeed fallen deeply in love with him. Today was a day like every other. Kyra woke up and was attended to by her maids as usual. At breakfast with her family, everyone seemed oddly quiet. She could understand why her strict father wasn't speaking but her brother, Franc and her mother were too quiet. She did all she could to liven
The weeks flew by in the blink of an eye. The preparations for Kyra's birthday kept everyone busy. There were dresses to be fitted for, etiquette classes to be attended and invitations to be sent. The Duchess really outdid herself in organising everything perfectly for that day. Everyone was looking forward to the little misses 10th birthday party. Nobles from all over the capital were invited. Even the royal family received an invitation so a lot of people would come even if it would be to catch a glimpse of the Prince's and Princess of the kingdom.She got ready and in no time guests started to arrive at the manor. There was live music and the hall was decorated to perfection. Immediately she stepped out of her room, she could see Kion a ways off, down the hall waiting for her. She stopped dead in her tracks as she got closer to him, as she couldn't help but stare at that handsome face. He really was handsome. No wonder she fell for him in her last life. "Is the outfit not to your l
It was hardwork, but her efforts were finally paying off. The maids and other workers in the manor were starting to open up to her little by little. It had been a few months and the rumors going round about the Tyrant Kyra, have been dialed down. She didn't blame them though, even she would have had a hard time believing that someone who was known to throw tantrums and bully maids just for fun would turn over a new leaf in such a short time.The best part was that with her new relationship with everyone, she could start gathering those who would be her people and know those who would support Kion later. The most trust worthy person was the maid who was with her when she first came back. Betty; she had completely stopped her trembling now and even treated Kyra so lovingly, almost like a little sister. And after she was made to be Kyra's personal maid, she was able to hear about a lot of rumors and get information from her. Yet, she wasn't satisfied, she needed a network outside of the
Three years had gone by.Kyra was a year away from enrolling at the academy just like her brother, when she remembered something important. The reason her brother wasn't able to succeed as the head of the family in her past life. It was when he had gone to the academy for his second year, and an incident occurred, causing him to be disabled, and the Duke would rather die than have a disabled person become head of the household. No matter how talented the person is or even if that person were to be his own son. Saving her brother and making sure he becomes head of the house would be another means of getting revenge against Kion.Kyra had built a closer relationship with her brother in this life but she wasn't sure if it was close enough that he would believe her and take her word for it if she was to warn him before hand. So, to build their trust, she predicted little things for him. Like telling him what attire she feels the Duchess would wear on a certain day, or what meal she feels w
It had been two weeks, and a letter arrived for Kyra at the estate. There was no sender except for the initial 'E' written on it, but she knew exactly who it was from. She opened it and read it. As expected of the guild master, he already knew her request and had supplied her with the information she needed or rather, wanted to hear. He had also enclosed an invite for a later date, for them to meet and talk about the terms of their contract. All was going as planned, when suddenly she was summoned by her father.Standing in his office, he hadn't said anything. It had been well over 5 minutes since she had come in and he hadn't said a word as he scribbled away. The office was filled with nothing but the scritch-scratch sound his pen made on the papers and the sound of both of their shallow breaths. He had even told his secretary to excuse them when she first came in so this silence was really unnerving and even becoming slightly annoying.He finally cleared his thro
It didn't take long for them to get her a magic tutor. And even though it was her second time at it, she was still not that good at using magic. For a descendant of the well known De Leta house of Mages, to not be good at magic. It was quite a big ordeal. It was one of the reasons she felt so inferior in her past life and ended up taking out her anger on anyone and everyone especially the saintess candidate . She found out that she was only adept at the theoretical aspects of magic. It was truly a shame since she had the De Leta blood flowing in her veins. Even when she enrolled at the academy, she was falling behind everyone else and she took out her frustration on those around her which caused her to be hated by her peers and added to the bad rap she got as a villainess. That reminded her again that there was someone she wasn't looking forward to seeing at the academy. There was going to be a girl by the name of Fiona who would also enrol at the academy under the Holy Church. She wa
