Chapter 2 - The Lady and the Beast

Once Vienna's parents left the room and she was lying in the bed. They had made strict orders that she was not to move until she felt better. Right after they left, Ania enters with a plate and cup filled with warm tea, "are you feeling better, Lady Vienna?" Ania asked after a while. Vienna nods, though she'll feel much better once she start her revenge. "Ania, there is something I need you to take care of." Vienna says. After explaining to Ania her mission, Ania leaves Vienna to herself.

Hopefully those two would return, after all her revenge plan will have to start with them. This time she will make sure no one she loved died. Hmm. To start with, she needed to make money. Her family wasn't particularly wealthy and that was a problem. If they want to survive the Crown Prince's evil schemes that involve their family, they need to have an army of their own. It was going to be tricky to hide a large army, but she knew just the place. In order to get that place, she'll have to have money.

Good thing she knew where that gold output was. If she can get to it before the Crown Prince discovers it. Then they will have enough money to hire all the servants and guards they will need.

Meanwhile in Yan City

A man with short blonde hair and green eyes is sitting at a tavern drinking. His beautiful features was enough to prove he was the son of Lord Kalvica. The high cheek bones and soft jawline is mostly what gave him away. The city of Yan was just a thirty minute horse ride from Amerra, which is why Ania came here first. In order to hide her appearance she wore a dark hood so that no one was tempted to bother her. She then makes her way over to the man and sat down beside him.

To play it off she orders a drink and slides the letter over to him. He lifts his head and squints at her before grabbing the letter and reading it. After a few minutes of reading he pushes it back, "meet me in the alley." He mouths before standing to pay a silver coin and then leaving. Ania nods at the man behind the counter before leaving the tavern a bit later. A few minutes later she meets the man in the alley where he was taking a smoke. "So my sister wants me to return home." He starts off flicking his smoke to the ground.

"It's seems it's an urgent matter Sir Kalvica." Ania tells him. He scrunches up his face, "call me Seno, Kalvica is my father. Makes me feel old when you call me that. Anyways, I guess I can return home, looks like the little sister has something interesting up her sleeve." He says with a smirk as he stares off into the distance. "Great, I'm sure Lady Vienna would be pleased to see you after so long. Now we just have to go pick up Lady Baiyu." She says turning to walk in the direction she left the carriage.

"Ah, a name I never thought I would hear for a while. Is it possible if we could just leave that person be?" Sir Seno asked as they rode the carriage out of the city. Ania shakes her head, "I see that even now you two don't get along." She says. Seno crosses his arms and raises his chin a bit, "hmph, can't really say that's the case. More like we don't even talk. That person is far too damned stubborn for my taste." He says. Ania could tell by just looking at him that he was actually pretty excited.

The journey will be long. Ania pulls another paper from her cloak to start her return letter to the Lady. She expresses on obtaining the oldest son and how they were now headed off to the last place the other sibling was last seen. It's going to be a total of six days before they are able to get back to Amerra, hopefully that won't be too long. "To think we'll be seeing each other after so long. I have to admit, I'm wondering how our little sister turned out. Judging from the letter I don't think I have to worry too much." Sir Seno says with a smirk.

Three Days Later

Vienna had received a letter from Ania. It seems she had found her brother and was headed to find her sister now. That was three days ago, by now they should be still heading to where her sister was last seen. Vienna covers her face with a mask that she recently bought since she had a mission she must take care of herself. Today she must go into town to meet someone that will be a huge advantage to her revenge in the future. A person who too was picked up by the prince and received orders from him to kill her brother in the future.

She will not let that damned Prince find that person, instead she will recruit him herself. With that, using the martial skills she had gained in the future. She makes her way across the buildings into town. She lands onto the ground and skimmed the area for anyone that looked like that man. So far there was no one matching the description of the man from her future. She mustn't give up, if somehow she did not find him today then this will be a huge problem. Screams nearby drew her attention as the sounds of loud gargling noises soon followed after. She then noticed that the crowd of people were suddenly rushing past her in a frenzy.

A monster? She pushes her way through the crowd to get a better look, only to find a very filthy man facing off with a Yamer. These creatures were known for their armored bodies and not easy to beat. This is it, this was when he got recruited by the Prince, she immediately knew that this was the person she was looking for. Which means the Prince was not too far away. She cannot let this opportunity go, even if she lacked much ability. Let's get rid of this creature, don't want her prey to get taken.

With that Vienna makes her way towards the man and very angry monster jumping high into the air with her leg and swiftly bringing this same leg down landing a powerful kick to the monster's head. She then manages to dodge back when it tried to swipe at her with a large claw that was soaked with poison. She lands to the ground and smiles, well. No one said this would be easy.
