Chapter 77: Chapter 77

"Can you copy and publish this as many as possible after they sabotage the reports?" Cecilia said after she finished her drawing.

Kaleela whistle when she looks at those papers, "I wonder what you can't do. As a noblewoman, you are talented."

Hugo nodded as a sign of his agreement, "You are right, Marchioness."

The three of them are gathering on the guild office.

Kaleela were ordering some special herb. To try make some antidote of the Empress sickness. She always believe that every disease has it own medicine.

Meanwhile, Grant and Max were tailing the Havana's kidnapper.

Cecilia asking Hugo to publish the future plan of South Island. Just in case, The Silvers claimed her works as a black magic.

She wants to show that the main plan is to stabilize the economic and advanced the agriculture.

Although, they are using magic in tourism object or when constructing the building. But it was the safe and didn't do any harm.

Besides, it can be the best way to introduce the island to the public.

The South Island is not a barren land anymore.

"Actually, I have a bad feeling." Cecilia said when she threw her gaze to the window and look anxious. " I want to help them. Not just sit and wait like this."

Kaleela pat her shoulder. "You already do what you can. Honestly, that was a good strategy. To strengthen the city borders to find evidence of the poisonous bouquet and because of your deduction, Grant can impose as one of the kidnappers by searching some men who rent the carriage.

So, relax and let the boys fight, and we just wait here. Hugo, bring some tea for us. We can talk about something to kill the time."

"Yes, Madam. Wait a second." Hugo said when he left the room to make some tea.

"It's not the time to relax, Aunt. Max and Grant are fighting with dangerous men."

"You are underestimated them. They are stronger than your imagination. Have a faith."

Cecilia's look at the moon on the sky and remembering one of Bai Lin's prophecy.

[The moon is walking in the opposite direction.]

She doesn't understand what it means.

"Why? You can kill the sky with those eyes." Kaleela said when she sits on the chair.

"The sky is not that weak, Aunt. Anyway, did you know about the moon which walk in opposite direction?"

Kaleela's red eyes frowned. "Where did you hear that?"

"Oh, you know about it?" Cecilia look excited and approached her aunt. "What does that mean? I heard it from a fortune-teller."

"It's not a good thing. Besides, I think you don't believe in something like that."

"Yeah, but this is an exception. Because she said in some language I know. Rather that prophecy, her words sound like advice. And warning, too."

"Well, good for you. Most of the prophecy was like a poem or something. People spent so much time just to decipher it."

"So, can you tell me what is the meaning of it?"

"Actually, it's just a slang."

Cecilia's brows raised, "What?"

"It's just another way to say that the plan was failed."

"What?!"

"Don't worry. Perhaps it's for the enemy. Because we are the one who ruined them." Kaleela said confidently.

Before Cecilia can answer, Hugo open the door with wide smile and bring three cups of black tea in a silver tray. "Sorry to make you wait. Lets drink together. Too bad, I don't have any sweet."

Kaleela laugh when heard it, "Don't worry, Hugo. You know what the nobles always said? Love and scandal are the best sweetener of tea. Then, spill some for us, Cecilia."

Cecilia's purple eyes widen. She didn't expect this. Besides, she kept her relationship in secret "Wait. Me?"

"Don't lie to me. I can see a jewel in your ring finger. So, he proposed you?"

"Auntie! This is not the time we--,"

PSSSSH!

Suddenly, the room filled with white, thick smoke.

Cecilia close her mouth and nose with both hand. With some wide steps, she approached the windows and open it.

When the smoke already subdued, Hugo sigh and start grumbling, "Ah, long time no see, Gracia."

A young women who wear a black cape come into the middle of the room. She is a beautiful lady with long blonde hair and a pair of blue eyes.

With clear and energetic voice, she asked, "Hugo! Is that true? Boss finally found his love?!"

"Please go away if you want to ask that. I have some guests." Hugo said with visible annoyance on his face.

Gracia then realizes the presence of Cecilia and Kaleela. "Ah, my bad. I'm sorry. Then, I will back when everything is settle."

Just like that, Gracia left the room after dissolved into a smoke.

"Who is that brat? I don't like her." Kaleela dramatically rolled her eyes.

Hugo smiled, "Don't worry. She isn't someone who need your attention."

Cecilia slightly tilted her head,"She looks like close with your Boss. Honestly, I want to meet him. Just curious because Max always talk highly about him."

"Ah, well. Don't worry about it. She isn't like that." Hugo pushed himself to laugh since he can't spill the fact about Max.

"Really? I want to know, too. Your boyfriend rarely compliment someone else." Somehow Kaleela look excited.

Hugo let out a heavy sigh. "Please don't expect too much, My Lady. Sometime imagination is better than reality."

Havana waking up in small room with dim light.

But, she can't move since her hands and leg tied up in the chair. There something in her mouth that prevent her to talk, let alone to scream.

Where am I? She asked to herself.

"What? Change of plan?" A rough voice can be heard behind the door.

Havana gulped when she remembered her last memories. She was kidnapped with a group of scary men and while she lost her unconsciousness, she can hear Aileen's voice.

But, it was too hazy. Havana not sure if that was real or part of her dream.

No, she thought. Miss Aileen isn't like that. She will investigate my disappearance, for sure.

But, her train of thought was scattered when she heard, "Miss Silver want us to kill that girl, right away."
