28 Lucia Scarlet
Before moving on to me, let me introduce you to the love of my life, my beauty queen: the person I hate the most, Lucia Scarlet.
I love her the most. Never have I ever loved anyone more than her.
I hate her the most. Never have I ever hated anyone more than her.
I am going to kill her in the worst way possible after the betrayal she gave me.
For starters, she is a strong, capable person. A very strong person with a sharp brain on her head. If I could call myself a genius, then she is a tad bit smarter than me in anything that I can count. Her speciality lies more in the leadership and strategizing side than power and combat. Though her powers of charm and blood control should not be trifled with, as she could literally kill you with a smile. Not joking at all!!
Ah! And before I forget to tell… the one who taught me charm magic and blood magic was her.
As for her appearance…
….......
A charming lady of about 20 yrs, with an amazing body that people couldn't help but turn their heads to take a second look, stepped out of a car wearing a beautiful one piece red dress as she smiled at the crowd.
Her long wavy reddish black hair which complemented her deep black eyes and red dress, fluttered against the wind ever so slightly as she moved out of the car.
Right after she smiled her eyes turned red for a split second before turning black again, a few men began walking towards her while the others continued doing their own work as if nothing ever happened.
The men went towards the car and picked her bags up and began following her to the alley. She smiled as the car moved back to wherever it came from. At this point, perhaps everyone even forgot that something like this even happened.
After walking for a while she reached the same hideout where Zero came in the morning. She turned around and once again used her charm magic and the men dropped the bags at the front door before turning back and getting back to where they came from.
She then knocked on the door and soon after, it opened revealing a young white-haired girl standing before her.
"Eliza, help me pick up the bags will ya?" she spoke as she entered the apartment with a couple of bags in her hands. Eliza looked at her with the same thoughts she had in the morning regarding what happened with Zero.
"What?!" A bit startled by Eliza's stare, she couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Nothing… ummm… Miss Lucia, have you ever fallen in love?" Eliza asked this question out of the blue as her brain ran through all the scenarios concerning the relationship of Zero and Lucia.
Perhaps it was by instincts, she found Zero very similar to what Lucia was. His behaviour and his way of talking… felt quite similar to what Lucia did.
-Thud
Lucia fell on the ground before getting back up and hurriedly getting closer to Eliza as she put the back of her hand on Eliza's forehead to check for fever.
"You okay?" With a very concerned expression, Lucia looked at Eliza, trying to find any signs or symptoms of any disease. After searching for a few moments, she sighed in relief before looking at Eliza,"why did you ask that? You know I loathe that stuff, don't you?"
Eliza nodded with a blank expression as Lucia then picked up the bag and began walking inside. Snapping out of her thoughts, Eliza suddenly took the other bags and moved into the house after closing the door.
"Evening Lucia. How was the mission?" asked Cristine as she walked out of the shower wearing a loose crop top with shorts and a towel on her shoulders which she was using to dry her hair.
Lucia looked at her for a few moments before she let go of the bags and let herself fall on the sofa.
-Thud
"It was fine. More or less, we are closer to the target. It should take another month before our mission will be wrapped up here," Lucia spoke as she recounted the events. She then took an apple from the fruit basket on the table in front of her.
"What happened to the guy who wanted to buy you?" Cristine asked curiously. From what she had heard, the guy made quite a ruckus at the location of the mission, saying he wanted Lucia to be his.
"Dead. I killed him before coming here. He was a nobody with a D- Rank System with poison related abilities. Why do you ask, though? You are not really interested in these types of things," Lucia asked as she observed Cristine's expression with a confused look before taking a bite from the apple.
-Chew
"Thought you made a boyfriend or something," Cristine spoke in a low voice, but then moved away from there without giving much thought to it.
"Cough cough… wh? Wha? What?! Excuse me?!! What gave you the idea??" Lucia however didn't like those words and stood up as she stared at Cristine, who stopped moving and had turned around to look at her and then at Eliza who too was looking with a very curious expression at Lucia.
"Nothing," Cristine spoke before walking away from there.
"Nothing," Eliza said before running away from there.
Looking at them, Lucia started chasing them and after a little bit of running around, she finally caught Eliza and they both fell to the ground facing each other.
Eliza looked at Lucia's huffing yet angry expression and then she couldn't help but laugh at her,"pfffttt…hahahahahaha….."
Looking at Eliza laughing, Lucia couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Cristine, who looked at them from a distance, smiled before speaking," Guys, I am getting dinner ready. And Lucia, it's your turn to set the table today."
Lucia turned at Cristine, who was already moving towards the dining room, and stood up before giving a hand to Eliza. Eliza caught her hand and stood up before both of them began walking towards the dining room with a smile on their faces.
