บททั้งหมดของ SCARLETT THE LAST FERROMANCER : บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Katherine povI was sprawled on the floor of my bedroom, my heart pounding with excitement as I stared at the ceiling. My stomach growled loudly, and I couldn't ignore the discomfort. I was eagerly waiting for breakfast from a delivery rider, but it hadn't arrived yet.As I lay there, my eyes shifted from the ceiling to the clock on my nightstand. It was 9:47 AM. Where was my breakfast? I had asked for it to be delivered by 9:30 AM. The growling in my stomach intensified, clearly unhappy with the wait. I turned my head, my ponytail brushing against the carpet.Frustration bubbled up inside me, threatening to spill over. My thoughts raced through all the possible disasters - the delivery rider could be lost, my order might be mixed up, or even worse, my breakfast could be sitting on someone else's porch.With a sigh, I pushed myself off the floor and marched to the window. I pulled back the curtains, revealing a dull, gray sky that matched my mood. The streets below were quiet, with on

Scarlett povI contacted Katherine once more, confident in her ability to accomplish whatever task I assign her, provided it aligns with her convenience.I hurried out of the room and into the garden to speak with Katherine."Hello, Kat," I greeted her calmly, glancing around awkwardly."Scarlett, what am I supposed to do in Lexi's apartment? What if I get caught?" she inquired, bypassing any morning pleasantries and displaying her usual brusqueness, yet I needed her assistance."Check her wardrobe; she keeps a book with important numbers. Look for the name Klaus and send me the number," I instructed.I chuckled softly, familiar with Katherine's straightforward demeanor. "Good morning to you as well, Kat," I remarked with a touch of amusement, though my expression tightened slightly at her rudeness."Stay focused, Scarlett," she retorted, her tone low and urgent. "What if Lexi walks in while I'm searching through her belongings?"I paced along the garden path, my thoughts racing. "You

Scarlett POV I stood at the entrance of an unfinished building, observing how misguided my dear Klaus was. He looked striking, yet I couldn't understand why he believed I was a key to saving his brothers. Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket, making my heart race. I looked at the screen and nearly shouted. It was Markus—why was he calling me? I rejected the call, fully aware he would try to ruin my plans.I shoved my phone back into my pocket, my thoughts spiraling into worst-case scenarios. Markus's timing was terrible. I didn't want him interfering, especially now that I had Klaus exactly where I needed him.I refocused on Klaus, who remained unaware of my inner conflict. He was too busy barking orders at the woman foolish enough to heed him, his eyes shining with resolve. I watched him, momentarily forgetting about Markus and his unwelcome call.Klaus's enthusiasm was captivating, and despite knowing I shouldn't be affected, I found myself drawn to it. He was merely a tool for m

Lexi pov “What did you just say? Scarlett came over instead? That's unsettling, sorry… it's wild because I can't believe she had the nerve to show up.” I scoffed while on the phone, but Klaus seems too preoccupied to hear me; he keeps humming and mumbling. I think he's really struggling with Scarlett.“Klaus, can you hear me?” I asked, my voice barely rising above a whisper, my eyes scanning the area anxiously."Lexi, just be quiet and let me handle this situation!" he snapped, his voice booming from the other end.I took a deep breath, feeling the sweat bead on my skin because I know Klaus is a dangerous guy driven by anger.A chill ran down my spine as Klaus's words lingered, his tone laced with hostility. My eyes widened, and I swallowed hard, my mouth suddenly parched. I couldn't believe he spoke to me like that."K-Klaus, I was just trying to—" I stammered, but he interrupted me."Lexi, shut. Up. Now." His voice was low and threatening, sending a shiver through me. I had never h

Author pov“Klaus, your time is over!”My deep, resonant voice reverberated through the space as he stood at the entrance, gripping his weapon—a red-robed axe—with white-knuckled intensity, his gaze locked on Klaus. Lexi and Markus had to step aside, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief."Wow! It's been ages. Mr. Jed Bartlet!" Klaus exclaimed, stroking his hair as he approached the old man. Without missing a beat, he turned to Lexi and laughed. "Scared, are we?"Jed had been Klaus's mentor before his brothers vanished. Learning about Scarlett's plight compelled him to return and fight for her freedom, knowing that venturing into the underworld would mean her death—a sacrifice to save his brothers in her place.As Klaus neared Jed, the old man's grip on the axe grew firmer, his knuckles turning pale beneath the aged leather gloves. The red robe he wore seemed to shimmer in the low light, reminiscent of dying embers. Lexi and Markus exchanged worried looks, their faces mirrori
