The door to the Throne room cracked open as Aurelia announced her presence by saying."We need to do something fast".She informs Dimitrix who was sitting on his throne. "The muggles are targeting us first before any other Kingdoms".
Dimitrix hums and stroke his chin."Did you find this Mr.Edgar?".
"I did and you were right it's Luther's doing,he's also responsible for the recent attack in the villages".
"Did you ask him Luther's reason??".
She grunts."Damn it!I forgot,I just wanted to kill him,that bastard old man".
As she recall what had happened a while ago she suddenly thought of the violet eyed man.
She could still remember how cute he was with his eyes that attracted her and.....and...
"Get away from my head!!!".She growled while gripping her hair.
Dimitrix jumps up in fright. "What the...Aurelia what happen?".
"Me?Nothing".
He chuckles and went over to where she stood and took her shoulders in her hand.
"You should go to bed,it has been a long day,come on,let's go".
Aurelia scoffed incredibly."Are you really taking me to bed?do I have to remind you is i that have to do that,huh??".Dimitrix laughs as Aurelia joins in.
Once they arrives at her bedroom,Aurelia lean in for a hug and Dimitrix sweeps her in his arms.
"I missed this times".She confessed.
He didn't have to reply but she knew he felt the same when she felt his smile against her skin.
"Goodnight".He whispered to her but was reluctant to let go cause they knew this might be the last moment for them to bond like this.
''LATE at NIGHT ''.
It might seem Dimitrix was sleeping soundly,unconscious to what was happening around his environment.
But trust him,he knew exactly what was happening.
His hand quickly sneak under his pillow to grab his dagger as he heard his door open.
'Steps,Steps'.He heard as the strange person pads his feet to his bed.
As soon as the person came to halt before him,Dimitrix lurch at the intruder and held her neck with his elbow,the dagger an inch away from the intruders neck."Who sent you or else I will separate your neck from your f**king body!!".He muttered through gritted teeth.
"I...I...I...will s..speak".She forced those word out from his mouth.
Once Dimitrix loosen his grips,the intruder elbowed him at his throat causing him to stagger backwards coughing, not giving him a chance,she lifted her leg and strike him at where the sun never shines and he gave a knee-jerk response.
And she ran off,Dimitrix grits his teeth and reached for his sword and chased after her.
"Got it".And she tucked the blueprint that detailed Arystarr's plans for the upcoming war into the container.
Meanwhile,Aurelia who was dragging a dead body out from her room,halts in track once she sighted the intruder.
Due to the attack was sudden, Aurelia didn't have time to grab her blades,instead she reached for her hairpin and threw one at her direction.
The intruder jerks away but unfortunately,the hairpin graze her cheek leaving a scar and she glared at Aurelia.
She quickly drew out her sword and blitzed at her.
Aurelia had to admit this assassin was impressive, it was like she could predict every of her movements.
She stabbed the intruder with her hairpin at her hands as the sword fell off her hand and she grunts in pain as her wrist kept bleeding.
"Agh!!!!".The intruder growls and magically lifted Aurelia into the air and she felt her neck being gripped by a sudden force as black vapour engulf around her.
"Black magic".Aurelia murmured.
"That's right, Princess".She spat."And now I will be on my...ahh!".
Without knowing what had just happened,the intruder was thrown against the wall,creating a loud noise.
She was quick to stand,spitting out blood and she smirks at Dimitrix.
"Black magic is forbidden,where did you get it!!!".He asked.
"Won't tell,Emperor Dimitrix....but what wrong have we done,we weren't gifted but the other kingdoms are,so we decided to gift ourselves".She let out a sardonic laughter.
"My Lord are you-".
"Attack her!!!".Aurelia urgently shouted at the knights and they shifted their gaze to the intruder.
"Ta-ta,royalty".She gave them a mockery bow and jump out the window with the knight chasing after them.
"How had they gotten in here when our security is tight!".Aurelia wondered.
"We have a snitch among us".Judging from the angry scowl on his face,Dimitrix was already eager to murder someone. "Erik!".He called as Erik appears in an instance.
"My Lord".He bowed.
"I want you to go to every corner of this palace,search through their bags and find me the damn traitor.Now!!".
"And find out what they came here for,I swear I saw that intruder with something and am sure it belongs to us!Find out who sent her!".She ordered.
Erik gaze shifted to Dimitrix for approval to do what she said.
"Yes".With that Erik disappeared. "DIMITRIX!!".They both heard Aurora scream through out the hallway. "Dimitrix,i....i heard noises and everywhere looks disheveled,a..are you okay?".She asked,trying to catch her breath."Are you alright?".She held his hand.
Dimitrix glared at her and swat his hand away.
"Where the heck were you when all of this was happening huh?were you sleeping in your bed allowing me to take care of everything!!!".He scolds her.
"D..Dimitrix i ...i wasn't asleep-".
"You lying B*tch-".Aurelia quickly pulled Dimitrix back,refraining him from attacking Aurora since he was already in a snit.
"Cool down,Dimitrix-".
"You don't need to defend me,Aurelia".Aurora glared at Dimitrix, she was already fed up of him scolding her and her crying her eyes out for him."Why don't you ever believe me huh?I was at my chamber taking care of the assassin who attacked me,huh?huh?Why don't you ever trust me!!!".She flare up.
"Why I don't trust you?".He laughs."How can i trust someone who is acting like a completely different person".He gave a sardonic answer.
"I....I".Aurora turned pale as no word could come out from her trembling lips.
Aurelia gave her a suspicious look and intended to question her when she was interrupts by a scream in the servant quarter.
"Eleanor".Dimitrix whispered,hastily he ran off as the Princesses follows.
^^In The Servants Quarter^^.
The intruder's eyes flutters open and he tries to stand up,realization dawn on him when he realized he was bounded with rope.
He looked up and glared at the person that put him in this situation.
"Let go of me,you imbeciles!!".The man yelled, trying to break free.
"Who sent you to kill us.Answer me!!".Delia demanded.
Other female servants had to compliment Delia for her bravery,if not for her,they won't be alive by now.
The door burst open as Dimitrix,Aurora and Aurelia entered.
"What is happening here??".Dimitrix demands for answer.
"He wanted to kill us all".Delia explains,keeping her words short.
Dimitrix cracked a smile that stopped her heart.
"You did great".His gaze shifts to Eleanor checking if she was okay,satisfied with what he saw,he spoke.
"Kill him".He ordered Delia and stride out with Aurelia and Aurora behind him.
Once they caught up with his pace,he slowed down and question. "What do you think about what is happening?".
Aurelia started."I think this is done by a kingdom that their people are loyal to them and won't spill out their plans".
Dimitrix runs his finger through his hair."And who could that be?
Kistanklan are known for their disloyalty and we are left with two,Esmeralda and Arithiopia
Kingdom-".
"No doubt is the Arithiopia Kingdom".Aurora muffles to herself but it didn't go past their ears.
"What?".Aurelia prods.
"Remember when you told me that the female assassin uses black magic,I figured out it's none other than the Arithiopia.You also told me she spoke about not gifted and how we're, so they had to gift themselves and they did...".
"By using black magic".Dimitrix completed her sentence."Then what did they come for?".
"For the blue print".A voice perk in as Erik showed his presence."To know what you,Your emperor are planning".
Dimitrix nods showing he understands. "Did you find the traitor?".
"No,he or she must have fled".He answered."Or perhaps they don't stay in the palace".
"We've to get our blueprint back".Aurora suggested."It will take a day and half before they arrive at Arithiopia.So we need to head over as quickly as possible".Aurora said with authority, something none of them had heard before.
"I alone will go to those troublesome muggles and get back my blueprint.Now go to bed".And he head over to his room direction but suddenly came to halt and he whirl back."Thank you for the information,Lady Aurora".And he walked away.
Just these simple words sent her entire heart on fire.
'How could she ever hate him'.
