Chapter 1209 - A Traitor To All Female Kind

Ahhhhhhhhh!"

The injured prisoner fell to the ground while Number 5 continued on.

Instantly, Landon rushed to Lucy and used this opportunity to allow Number 5 to flee.

But of course, the bigger reason was that he couldn't think of Number 5 right now.

He picked up the phone within the room, made a hasty call and hung the phone hard.

~Plop.

Landon dropped to his knees beside Lucy in agony.

His entire body quaked with anxiousness while looking at Lucy's pale appearance.

Looming at her, he couldn't help asking himself: Did he do too much?

His guilt was already written all over his face, even though Lucy couldn't understand it.

In truth, he could've stepped into the room right from the very beginning. But he wanted Lucy to learn her lessons and rely on others more 

Just watching her go through what she did broke his heart. But for her growth, it was necessary. 

What would she do when he wasn't around?

This lesson was needed.

Of course once she began treatment, he would get a pill from the system to not only heal her wounds fast but take the earl's away too.

Hey. The wedding was coming up, and he knew how much she had prepared for it. So how could his bride still be going through recovery?

.

~Whooo. Whooo. Whooo. Whooo.~

Lucy breathed hard from the stab wound in her legs while staring at Landon gratefully.

Luckily, he came on time. But something else worried her.

"What about the other one that fled? What about..."

"Shhhh... You worry too much. Think about yourself more. That said, I need you to promise me, Lucy. Promise me you will never do something like this again."

Lucy's heart sped up when she looked at Landon's stern but worried eyes.

Sigh... She did too much, didn't she?

Well, she already knew she was wrong.

And sat this money, looking at her knight in invisible shining armour, Lucy had no thoughts about the fleeing Number 5 and had now found herself engulfed in her little honeycombed world with Landon.

Watching Landon rub Kora's cheeks as if comforting the baby too, Lucy couldn't help chuckling playfully.

"Alright, brother Landon. I promise."

Landon heard her and was taken aback. You know, it has been a long time since Lucy called him 'brother Landon.' They always called each other different pet names.

Kora looked at the scene and felt speechless, rolling her baby eyes around.

Can't you see that there are tied-up hostages that need help around?

Blood! Blood! There are dead bodies, and the whole place is still bloody.

So could these people not spread dog food on the crime scene here?

The hostages also felt it funny as well.

Your majesty, we know you love the princess. But now isn't the time, alright?

Look! Even the injured ȧssassin is repulsed by you.

Not to talk of the bloody smell in the room, which is also getting heavier and heavier, making it hard to breathe.

Indeed. Everyone felt both amused and helpless by the love birds, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Just watching it made those single feel like getting partners and showing off as well.

.

Kora looked at the scene and sighed.

It looks like it was time for her to work her magic.

Like so, he coughed lightly, cleared her throat and began her work.

"~WhAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!~"

Eh?

Kora's cries were thunderous, making some people subconsciously want to place their hands on their ears in defeat.

And at the moment, it seemed to do the trick.

F***!

The royal princess's lungs must be powerful.

Both Landon and Lucy were awakened from their daze and could only smile awkwardly at Kora and the other hostages.

Landon went to untie the hostages and check the injuries of those men who were baby beaten.

At the same time, Lucy tapped Kora's back, thinking that the baby was now frightened by everything.

Please, don't ask her why. But she suddenly didn't feel that much pain on her legs as before.

Hey. Could it be that it was because Landon took out the dagger and quickly ripped off his clothes to bandage it?

Well, it did hurt when she moved around but staying still brought no pain to her.

But subconsciously, Lucy's mind thought of the locket her mother gave her all those years back.

Could it be that the real secret to her existence lay in that locket?

Knowing her mother, even though the woman looked weak and acted weak a majority of times before her, Lucy didn't fully believe it.

If it were true, then why didn't her mother try going back to wherever these witches were?

.

Again, even if she did try to have back and failed, knowing her mother, if there were truly someone she trusted, her mitre would've told her to one day head there. Or, would be given her vleis on how to go there.

But instead, on the woman's dying bed, she said she should forget about the past and live on to the future.

Lucy felt like she indirectly meant that her mother's people were in the past and we're no good either.

In short, nothing was as it seemed.

So she didn't trust their story of her being some chosen one.

Yes. She might be valued. But why?

They only spoke vaguely, with no one hitting the nail on its head.

So why should she leave her entire life behind for such a vague story?

.

Additionally, she also didn't like the comments they kept throwing around too.

Honestly

 They said she and other women here were suffering. But Lucy has yet to know exactly how she was lining in bondage here.

They even called her a traitor to all female kind.

Lucy could only shake her head while thinking of the matter.

Indeed. Those women all seemed crazy.

Like so, the matter with Lucy finally came to an end.

But the aftermath would still be one of the biggest news to hit the ears of the residences so far.

Boom.

The reporters got busy
