Chapter 19 - Second Scene

"Citrine come out."

Citrine appears on Celestia shoulder as he uses his power to hide their presence. Celestia follows the heroine and realise she has ended up at a rough area of the capital. When she saw the heroine stops in front of an alleyway she hides behind a building not far from her.

"Yo it's the young lady from the Dawson family what do you want."

Celestia heard a rough man speak as he walks out from the dark alleyway. The heroine took a few steps back.

"Don't come close to me, I'm here to make a deal with you."

The man raise a brow, as he looks at his friends then at her.

"What is it that you want?"

"I need you to kidnap someone."

The man laughs as he lifts her pretty face, with his rough hand.

"My dear little sister, you're truly black hearted. You scheme to get adopted into a noble family and now you want me to kidnap someone. Tell me the price or else I'll get my buddies to play with you."

The heroine slaps the man's hand as she took a few steps back throwing a bags of coins at him. One of his buddy caught the bag and opens it.

"Boss its gold, there's gold in here!"

The heroine looks at them disgusted.

"Hmph if you do your job right I'll give you another additional 50 gold coins."

"Boss this is 50 gold coins if she gives us more we'll have 100 gold coins in total"

The more than man heard he felt it's suspicious, he may be a rouge however he isn't dumb to get himself and his buddies into trouble. He has known the heroine since they were young growing up in the back alleyway for many years, he knows her like the back of his hand. 

"You, who is it that you want us to kidnap?"

The heroine saw that the man in front of her raise his guard up, she panic a little as she didn't want to let her chance slip.

"No one important just some girl that annoyed me, this is her. She comes out to the town every 3-4 times a month to Luce. She's just a unimportant maid, kidnap her and take her far away, once it's completed I'll pay you the rest."

"Boss she's pretty can we play with her."

The heroine felt chills up her arms.

"You can do whatever with her, she isn't my problem! She'll come out in three days I'll come find you in three days after the job is done."

With that said the heroine quickly ran away.

Celestia looks at the direction the heroine ran away, however she didn't follow her. Celestia keeps her eyes on the group of men walking away laughing heading to a brothel. Celestia raise her hand as vines shot straight from the group and slams the group of men to the ground.

"Ah! What is it?"

"Brother save me!"

"Don't kill me!"

Citrine jumps off Celestia shoulder and transform into his human form, he pulls the man up with his neck.

"Please don't hurt me I haven't done anything wrong."

The man cried as he wet his pants. Citrine click his tongue in disgust as Celestia looks away.

Citrine didn't speak as he stole the photo and threw the man back to the ground slamming him into his group of buddies. Citrine walks back to Celestia handing her the photo.

Celestia took the photo and use the moonlight to see who was in the photo.

"This is the eldest daughter of count Riverdale."

In the game Keane fiancee went missing no one knows where she went and in the game they didn't put much information about her as the game only progress on the heroine point of view and leveling up on her love interest.

The more Celestia lives in this world the more she realise this is her reality and no longer a game she once played. Citrine felt his master emotion becomes a little unstable as he saw her expression change slightly.

"Master..."

Celestia shakes her head as she looks up towards the starlight night.

"This heroine is scary, she's psychotic. Citrine let me tell you, this girl she's the type that will do anything even if she has to sell her soul to the devil to get her way. We need to keep an eye on her at all times."

Celestia walks out of the alleyway and joins the crowd blending in as she follows a golden energy. Earlier she got Citrine to use his power to trail the heroine as she stops the group of rouge.

"She's at my mother's restaurant."

Before she could take another step someone grabs her wrist.

"Celestia, I finally found you!"

Celestia body turns around as she is hug tightly in someone's chest, she looks up and saw Cepheus.

"Cepheus, what are you doing he..."

Suddenly she remembers what she did. Celestia was too focus on the heroine that she ditch her friends.

"I'm sorry I saw an acquaintance in the crowd and wanted to catch up with her, I'm sorry I made you worried."

Celestia tries and look over his shoulder and see if her brothers was behind him however there was no one there.

"Where's my brothers and everyone?"

Cepheus looks into her eyes, earlier when he saw her in the crowd her emotions was a little unstable. However now that she is in his arms she's back to herself.

Cepheus didn't question her, as he knew her for two lifetimes. He knew that someone must've anger her for her emotions to be unstable.

"No one followed me, I ran after you, it's your brothers fault for getting lost."

Celestia lips twitch, her brothers got lost.

"Where are you going now?"

Celestia looks at the restaurants in front of her and smiles as she links her arms with Cepheus.

"Let's go and eat some food in my mother's restaurant come and support our poor family."

Cepheus shook his head finding her silly action cute. He follows her in the restaurant as a waiter comes up to them and leads them to their usual room upstairs.

Cepheus sense Citrine magic in the restaurant as he follows it he saw the same girl he met on the street in the same restaurant, sitting downstairs.

"The acquaintance you mention earlier, is it her?"

Celestia sat down and looks downstairs starring at the Heroine. She shook her head.

"No, she's less than an acquaintance I spoke to her once at school. She's the rumored daughter of Baron Dawson, isn't she pretty?"

Celestia looks at Cepheus trying to see if he also fell for the heroine at first sight however he has only briefly look over her once as he step foot into the restaurant. The whole time he has kept his eyes on Celestia.

"No she isn't my type."

Celestia almost laugh out loud however she sip on her tea to distract herself.

"I heard that she cause you trouble the first day she entered the Academy."

Celestia thought back to the scheme the heroine performed and laughs.

"She didn't, she was trying to get Alvin attention however she failed so she wanted to put on a show and I help assist her."

How long has Cepheus knew Celestia, he didn't need to ask more as he knows that his silly fiancée must have put the Barons adopted daughter in her place.

"If she causes you trouble let me know I'll send a word to the Baron."

Celestia smiles as she puts her cheek in her hand.

"Ok I'll tell you if she does."

Cepheus plays with Celestia hair as they both enjoy each others company. However the noise downstairs of plates shattering and yelling disturb their moment of peace. Cepheus frown feeling annoyed that he didn't get his alone time with Celestia. 

"Ah! Look what you done you have dirty my dress."

Celestia and Cepheus looks down and saw a noble's daughter yelling at a waitress, as her maid cleans her skirt.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to." A waitress says as she apologies.

The noble lady ignores her as her hand tries to find a item on her however she couldn't find it she looks at at the waitress and thought of something. 

"You! Where is the manager?"

Celestia watches the show as she saw the heroine standing beside the waitress. She turns and looks at Cepheus with a cheeky smile. Cepheus saw her smile and knows she is enjoying the play.

"Guess what's going to happen?"

Cepheus looks into the crowd observing all the people in the crowd, the noble lady, to her maid, the waitress and manager than at the Heroine.

Cepheus chuckles, as he knew what may happen.
