Chapter 169 - Chapter 169

Irles Filri was still out of breath when she realize that she forgot that they were going to attend a formal gathering as the six Avarel Noble leaders will introduce her family to all of the most influential people in their city, She quickly stood up and grab her clothing that was scattered everywhere in his room, hoping that she wouldn't be too late for the event. As she hurriedly put on her dress and fixed her hair, Irles couldn't help but feel nervous about meeting all of these important people. She knew that her family's reputation was at stake,

She kissed him and ask if he can open a transfer gate back at the Academy to pick up her parents, but when Ramil told her that they spent three hours already and just ask if he can just go directly to her parents' place so she can put on some clothes and freshen up before seeing them, she instantly agreed.

When they arrived at her parents' house, she was shocked to see her mother's current state she was now a real living person. As she hugged her, Irles Filri could hear her mother's heartbeat, this made her happier as she could not believe this was happening, Roshia Lierin kissed her daughter on the cheek and said that this was the perfect opportunity to finally show her greatest treasure in life as they prepared to go to the preferred City Council formal introduction party,

Irles Filri asked Ramiel if he could join them, but sadly, he declined. and mention this event was for her family's induction into true nobility; this event was for their family, so he doesn't want to cast a shadow over their honor after a few more minutes with the help of her mother Irles Filri came out more stunning than ever, he was mesmerized seeing her, he could not help but to stare at her beauty and comment on how beautiful she was, He gave her a gentle kiss on the hand and just said

"Have fun, my beloved, "

"I will wait for you here,"

Ramiel cast and magic transfer gate directly at the Avarel main council main mansion as he watched them walk into the gate and disappear into the portal, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety in his chest.

He knew that Avarel was still a still dangerous place, full of political intrigue and treacherous factions vying for power. But he also knew that his beloved was strong and capable and that she would not be easily swayed by their machinations. As he waited for her return, Ramiel busied himself with other tasks that he thinks were important as he set up a meeting with his top officers,

The lobby was bustling with people, all dressed in their best attire. As they arrived at the party, Roshia's heart swelled with pride as she introduced her daughter to the other guests. They were all impressed by her daughter's intelligence and charm. As they mingled with the crowd,

As they walked into the grand ballroom, Irles Filri Hellmane couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as she introduced her parents to the other guests. The room was filled with influential people from all over the city, and Roshia and Vandom Ragnar knew that this was the perfect place for their daughter to make connections and establish herself in society.

As they mingled with the other guests, Roshia watched as her daughter effortlessly charmed everyone she met. It was clear that she had inherited her mother's charisma and charm. Throughout the night, Roshia watched with joy as her daughter made new friends and connections that would undoubtedly help her in the future. As they left the party, Roshia couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment and excited for what the future held for her daughter.

everything was going smoothly and most of the council members knew she really was, and never gave out any further information about her family's real background fearing the retaliation that might befall their family and city, because Irles Filri will become the future Sinistral Queen of Arcane, this was the unspoken truth that all of the family members and their loyal servants of each of the six council member family heads can never tell,

great apprehension or fear. can still be a good ingredient to hold loyalty among colleagues especially when corruption and malice still linger among the people who were under their governance, Irles Filri were given a unit to manage and these were loyal to Ramiels even before Arcane was established their sense of duty was equal to the collective, Daran and Saran personally requested Beta to serve under her, because of her background and former status as the greatest assassin in the Region,

seeing that their request was inclined toward protecting her masters' happiness, Beta agreed but gave them specific orders to obey or she will personally pass judgement on any unruly behavior they will do, as a binding contract was formed Beta with the help of Echo gave their team all of the needed support that Arcane can provide from equipment and devices, and informed the Hellmane family they were all openly accepted and became new secret members of the Reckless Brigade,

the first rule that the twins including the rest followed was never show any sign that they are watching the future Sinistral Queen as they know that her privacy now was a matter of importance, even with this formal even they never weaver and continued to watch her families safety from a safe distance,

Irles Filri was socially interacting with the guest something caught her attention as a female merchant with both purple hair and eyes introduce gracefully herself as Merchant Eirana Fanuilos, she was enigmatic and was also good looking but this wasn't the reason why Irles Filri piqued her curiosity toward her, it was her scent, an undeniable light smell mixture of blood and a familiar scent that made her skin crawl with jealousy and suspicion,

Ramiels residue lingered in her nose, and she remembers it perfectly, She stared at Merchant Eirana Fanuilos and realized her reaction was entirely in line with what they had planned since it was Merchant Eirana Fanuilos' intention to divert her attention and lure her into their small scheme in the first place.

. As she stood there, feeling a mix of annoyance and amusement, she couldn't help but wonder what exactly the scheme was. She had always been wary of merchants and their tricks, but something about Eirana Fanuilos made her feel oddly comfortable. Perhaps it was the way she carried herself or the genuine smile that never left her face.

Whatever it was, it had worked like a charm, and now here she was, standing in the middle of a crowded hall with no idea what was going on. As she looked around at the various event guests, she realized that this was all part of the plan too. They wanted her to feel overwhelmed and out of place so that they could take advantage of her. But what could they possibly want from her? She had nothing of value to offer them, or so she thought. Suddenly, a voice broke through her thoughts, and she turned to see Eirana Fanuilos standing beside her with a mischievous,

as the scent was now stronger Eirana Fanuilos lean near Irles Filri and whispered a few words in her ear that made her murderous intent slowly leak out

"Huh! Do you like my smell?"

" your plaything was not that hard to use, his sweat and saliva is all over me."

"such a playboy!"

Eirana Fanuilos smiled as she turn around and walk away, the Sixth council leader Taenya Leonan felt her rage as Irles Filri was a few feet away from her, she was about to go to her, in just a micro second she just vanish as soon the host rang the bell stating that the main dining room was ready to serve their food, she went out to hunt the female merchant, while her eyes were glowing violently red,

while Eirana Fanuilos used power to cast a dash skill four times, just to get far away from a renowned assassin whose main ability was speed,

Eirana Fanuilos was able to get out of the Avarel head council building she was able to get inside the only opened window planned entrance on the very top huge three-floor warehouse building that was located at the industrial district on the second lower zone of Avarel.

were sixty fully armed hired killers waiting for her on each floor, and on the last floor inside the basement, a person with the same body structure as Ramiel was tied down to a chair with a sack covering his face and was half naked and severely injured was at the very centre open floor of the warehouse,

merchant Eirana Fanuilos was standing tied hostage, as was holding teleportation behind her back while a short sword was pointed at the hostage's neck, she would order one of the hired killers to pour the remaining formula on the hostage body, it was the recreated blood that was formulated to smell like the person Irles Filri adored,

Eirana Fanuilos was a master manipulator, especially in matters of emotions, saying that feelings can also be a poison if correctly used, She was known for her ability to charm and seduce anyone she desired, using her knowledge in Alchemy and her power to manipulate any emotions and desires.

Fanuilos believed that love is just a game and that she was the ultimate player. She enjoyed the thrill of the chase, but once she had conquered her prey, she quickly grew bored and moved on to the next challenge after brutally killing her target and everybody who was connected,

Her reputation as a heartbreaker preceded her, but many still fell under her spell. However, as much as Fanuilos enjoyed playing with people's hearts, she knew that love could also be a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. She warned those who crossed him not to underestimate her power, or they would suffer the consequences. Despite her reputation as a manipulator, Fanuilos was also capable of great business interpretation when it suited her. She had a complex personality that defied easy categorization, but one thing was certain: she was not to be trifled with when it came to matters of the heart.

"she is almost here, the anger and rage he was feeling right now, has already clouded her judgement and logical thinking."

"Her mind is now filled with questions that she can't fathom getting the answer to, considering this might destroy everything she believes in, so her only choice was to kill me instead."

silent screams could be heard as body parts were cut off in the blink of an eye, Irles Filri was in a blood frenzy attacking anything that she see, Saran and Daran saw this as they followed their master, sadly the people who were on the top floor were ordinary people wearing a mask and tied knives on their hands, and were also hostages, Saran and Daran move in to stop her as the desperately block her attacks from fatality killing innocent civilians, Saran used the healing potion given to them by Echo, this was enough to save the heartbreaking situation they were forced into,

Daran was being overwhelmed and each of her swings was, vibrating in the walls as the warehouse floor was created to support a thousand pounds of weight was slowly breaking apart, saran with her fast movement was able to save and move the sixty hostages and used a sleep scroll to pacify their pain as they endured the pain of losing a body part,

Saran saw that her twin was nearing her limit. When he was about to lose his head, somebody held the dagger Irles Filri was about to kill Daran; it was her mother who had come to the rescue. The twins were shocked and relieved at the same time. Her mother had always been her greatest protector, but they never expected her to show up at such a critical moment. She explained that she had been following them all along, watching from a distance.

Roshia Lierin suddenly slapped her daughter, saying

"think child"

"Do you think Ramiel, who has a power level of 3500, can get abducted that easily? Whoever planned this wants something from you,"

"You must remain calm and collected, even in the face of adversity. Your role as Ramiel's strongest ally is crucial to his success, and you must do everything in your power to support him. As Arcane's Sinistral Queen, you will be a powerful force to be reckoned with,"

" standing alongside the Dextral Queen as a symbol of strength and unity. It is important that you rise above those who seek to bring your husband down and show them that you are not easily swayed. Remember that your actions will have a profound impact on those around you.

"So stay focused and keep your eye on the prize. With determination and perseverance, you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way and emerges victorious in the end "

Roshia Lierin held her daughter chees and softly told her

"your real target is in the basement, all those who reside here are your real enemy kill them and regain your dignity"

Roshia Lierin looked at the twins signalling them to move out and save the innocent hostages while they leave her daughter Irles Filri to finish what the enemy had started, Roshia Lierin gave the twins a command by hand gestures the twins quickly sprang into action, moving swiftly and silently towards the second floor where the hostages were being held. They knew that time was of the essence, and that they needed to act quickly if they were going to save the innocent lives that were at stake.

As Vandom Ragnar Hellmane watched from his vantage point on top of the roof, he could see everything that was happening below him.

"Beta, please do not report this to my future son in law, we the hellmane clan will quietly clean this mess,"

"yes, of course, I understand lord Hellmane!"
