Alexander was nervous.

He had two missions in Lavier and both missions needed the assistant of all his subordinates. Of course, every single person that he brought here was his most trusty companion.

Well, at least ALMOST everyone.

“Damn it, god damn it! That pig! I swear of god that if his son wasn’t the chairman of Laplace’s commerce association, I would have killed him myself!” Though Alexander.

The eldest son of the Eldritch family, Elvio Eldritch, was the richest person in Greycastle, not even the royal family has the money that Elvio has, not even half of it, funny enough, his father, Fetro almost destroyed his family in his period as the family head, fortunately for the Eldritch family, Elvio inherit the brain of his mother and he managed to salvage the financial situation of his family when he was just 13 years old, the word ‘genius’ wasn’t enough to describe Elvio, when he was 16 he unify all the different financial powers in Greycastle and created the Laplace’s commerce association, of course, the name Laplace was to ‘honor’ the royal family, but in reality, he made to compromise, at some extend, to the royal family. 

“Elvio specifically told me that, if can protect his useless father, he would give me his entire support to destroy the Hammon and the Vladier family and take control of the frontier, I told him, I told him several times that all he need to do is stay by my side, and he couldn’t do that! Useless garbage!” The more Alexander thought about Fetro the angrier he got.

  When Fetro disappeared he waited for some minutes, maybe he just when to the toilet or something like that, but after thirty minutes, there was no sign of him.

Alexander excuse himself from all the nobles that wanted to talk to him and went in search of Fetro.

“He was with that girl… what was her name…. ah! Lady Alice, yes. He was with lady Alice” A maid said to Alexander.

“Lady Alice?”

“Yes, she is a new noble that came to Levier a few weeks ago, she is a nice and caring person, some people even call her saint” Said the maid.

“A saint?” Though Alexander.

“Is she beautiful?” Asked Alexander.

“To be honest with my lord, even I , as a woman, find miss Alice attractive, she has white skin and red lips, she has this elegant aura that you attracts you, although I am straight,  I wouldn’t if she wanted to have some fun~” Said the maid with a blush.

Alexander only heard half of the maid’s sentence, his worries began to increase when he heard that Alice was a beautiful woman. 

Fedro Eldritch had a lot of faults, however, his most famous one was that the word womanizer was underestimated.

Ever since her wife died from disease, Fedro had been going from woman to woman without a care in the world, of course, with his son watching over him, Fedro couldn’t run wild without thinking it twice.

Of course, now that they were literally in the furthest town in the capital…

“You better not screw my plan over, you pig!” Though Alexander.

Alexander look everywhere for the man. The night was falling and the darkness of the night envelop the once sunny manor.

“This…” 

When he was in the exterior part of the castle, he felt a certain fragrance in the air. 

“Blood…” 

Alexander followed the smell until he arrived at the backyard of the manor.

There, someone was waiting for him.

A woman dressed in black.

“Are you… Miss Alice?” Asked Alexander.

“Unfortunately, I do not miss Alice” Said the woman.

Alexander used his soul power and scanned the woman.

“She isn’t a gifted nor a will user…. She is a normal person” Thought Alexander.

He made a small sigh of relief and walked towards the woman.

“Madam, I am looking for lady Alice”

“I saw her a couple of minutes ago”

“Which direction?”

The woman pointed towards the left side.

“There”

“…” Alexander looked at the woman.

Although he was facing her back, he felt that the woman was holding something with her hand.

“Miss, can you turn around?”

“Why?”

“Just because”

“If I don’t want to?”

“I am afraid that I must insist” Said Alexander with a serious voice.

“Well, if you insist” 

The woman turned slowly turned around, she had clear blue eyes and white skin, he hair was long and her outfit was that of a nun.

Alexander didn’t expect that the strange woman was actually a nun.

Alexander looked down and saw that what the nun had in her hand was actually a bag. 

From the bottom of the bag, a red liquid was slowly dripping.

“No…” Though Alexander.

“This was supposed to be a gift for you, but now that you saw it, I guess the surprised is ruined, sigh~” Said the nun.

She threw the bag towards Alexander. The thing inside the bag slipped from the bag and rolled over towards Alexander.

He was already expecting it, but…

Seeing the head of the man he was supposed to protect stopping just a few centimeters away from his legs made him tremble in fury.

“YOU…” Said Alexander.

Although all he wanted to do was to kill the nun, Alexander was a smart man, he knew that the nun was provoking him, so, with all his will, he took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the nun.

“Why did you do this?”

“Mmm… I am not so sure how to answer that”

“Did someone order you to kill him? Was miss Alice the mastermind?” 

“Yes and no”

“Be very careful with your answers, nun, or your death will be a miserable one” 

“Oh! I was wondering if you were going to attack me or threaten me, so you choose the latter one, I can tell that you are a smart man indeed” 

“…” Alexander, who was about 10 meters away from the nun, took out his sword and point it towards the nun.

The nun looked at Alexander and his blade and made an exhausted sigh.

She took out two daggers from her attire and smiled at Alexander.

“You will pay for this, Alice” She thought.
