Chapter 210 A Person From the Future
Chapter 210 A Person From the Future
Lucinia looked at Cassandra then towards Kuzma. Right now, she was almost a hundred percent sure that the real villain is either Zacharia or Cassandra. Mo Li told her that Zach was beaten to a pulp while she was asleep. It is also possible that the man reincarnated or his soul is no longer in his body.
This is has gotten more complicated. Lucinia is getting tired of all this! She looked at the door, and as if on cue, someone strode inside the living room. When the person saw that everyone was looking at him, he immediately cleared his throat. "I am a baron from the nearby village, and I am here to talk to the Duke?"
"Then why do you have armies behind you?" Prince Kuzma's face turned dark. "Why are they armed? Did you expect to see something when you strode inside without even announcing your presence?" Without waiting for the man to answer him, Kuzma already arrived in front of the man and suddenly removed his heart. An action that surprised Lucinia and the others. Of course, Lucinia immediately knew that something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes and watched the soldier's behind the now-dead Baron.
"Kuzma! Why did you kill him?" Prince Gavril bellowed. "You— "
"That's for disrespecting us! How dare a small baron come inside the residence of a Duke without even letting us know in advance?"
"You— " Gavril appeared in front of Kuzma and grabbed his arm. "You really think you can fool me?" His eyes narrowed, blood lust oozing from his orbs.
"Let me go or— "
"Or what!? You think you can kill me?" Gavril hissed. "You think you can defeat me?"
Seeing this, Lucinia took a step back as she deliberated if she should help one of them. She looked at Cassandra, who had faked a worried look on her face before looking at the stairs where Mo Li was standing calmly.
The next thing Lucinia knew, Prince Kuzma was already on the wall, pinned by his own brother. Of course, Kuzma immediately retaliated by punching him. With a few maneuvers, he got out of Prince Gavril's strong grip and stood a few feet away from his older brother. "Yes… Gavril… I will kill you."
"Watch out!" Cassandra yelled before she suddenly ran in front of Gavril and protected him with her body. The scene was akin to a movie. The woman covered her man, her eyes full of determination, his face twisted into a false sense of bravery. Seeing this, Lucinia looked at Kuzma's hands and immediately noticed a dagger with a purple hilt. She immediately knew that the dagger had been laced with the flower of death.
"Don't— Don't you dare kill him!"
"What are you doing?" Gavril tried to pull his woman out of his way. "Get out of the way!"
Lucinia fought the urge to roll her eyes as she wondered if she would stop Kuzma from hurting the lovers. Oh well… she wasn't the hero in this world. Why would she stop anything like this? She turned her head towards Mo Li before she went back to her seat. With Mo Li watching her, there's no way that someone could sneak an attack on Lucinia.
"Oh? You are defending the man who forced you to become like this?" Kuzma's eyes were wide, crazed. He tilted his head and stared at Cassandra. "You are nothing but a child. You think you can stop me?"
Lucinia beamed. It seems that Kuzma is really angry about something? She immediately wondered what it was. She looked at the army of knights behind the trio before she said. "Those people were witches." This was a lie. Of course, Lucinia didn't know since the system didn't warn her about them. "So… you don't just want to frame. You are also working with… the witches?" She taunted.
Gavril's face morphed into an ugly scowl. "You are betraying your own kind?"
"You people are the ones who betrayed humanity!" Prince Gavril uttered. "Vampires are killing the weak! Torture and rape and murder! We are using them as pigs that we can slaughter anytime! You are the ones who betrayed this world! Not me!" He said, his eyes never left Gavril.
On the other hand, Lucinia couldn't help but wonder where did this come from. Prince Kuzma was never this righteous. Was it possible that… her gaze soon reached Mo Li. He had been really calm about all this. He was watching as Prince Kuzma was now starting to fight against Cassandra and Gavril. However, since Cassandra doesn't really have any experience in fights it was clear that she was receiving a lot of cuts from the knife.
Of course, this was enough to make Gavril worried, making him lost his concentration. In the end, Prince Kuzma was able to cut his arm with the dagger.
Now, Lucinia was certain that Cassandra is no longer the original Cassandra. However, how could she be this stupid? Protecting a man who can easily fight for himself? Throwing herself in front of the powerful Gavril was such a stupid thing to do. Was she trying to make Gavril think that she wholeheartedly love him?
Or… perhaps she was trying to make Lucinia act? Make Lucinia save them from Kuzma?
Too bad, Lucinia wasn't some stupid hero who loves saving everyone. She stared at the wounded Cassandra that was already on the floor, bleeding. Because of the flower of death, Cassandra and even Gavril were no longer healing from the wound. Of course, this didn't bother Lucinia at all.
These two could kill each other, and she wouldn't even shed a tear. With this in mind, she stood from her seat, attracting the attention of the fighting brothers. Then she started walking towards her husband.
"Lucinia… aren't you going to help me punish this traitor?" Gavril hissed. "Are you in cohorts with him?"
"Princess…" Cassandra uttered in a low voice. "Please help Gavril."
Lucinia only lifted an eyebrow. She halted her steps and stared at the two before she turned towards Mo Li again. Then shrugged and continued walking without saying anything. She started walking towards the stairs without even looking at Gavril and Kuzma.
"You— Are you betraying us too?"
"No," Lucinia replied without looking at Prince Gavril. "I just don't care about you two." It's that simple. These two were both horrible people. Why would she help any of them? After a few steps, she finally reached Mo Li who immediately kissed her forehead.
"You two— where are you going?"
This time it was Mo Li who responded to Prince Kuzma. "I have lived long enough to know fighting was fake, your highness. If you two wanted to kill each other, one of you would probably be dead in a matter of seconds. We won't waste our time on such an ugly show. Let's see each other on The King's quarters." Mo Li said before he carried his wife and jumped out of the window without even waiting for a response from the Princes.
"What was he talking about?"Cassandra frowned. Kuzma and Gavril were not faking it! This... These two really wanted each other dead! As a person who already came from the future, Cassandra knows the exact details that should have to happen today.
First, she and Gavril were not supposed to be here. However, Kuzma will visit Princess Lucinia and poisoned himself, Zacharia, and the Duke. Then the Baron would arrive and arrest Lucinia.
The Baron would say that he was someone who admired the Duke greatly and seeing the Duke poisoned made him lost all the control that he had. So he ordered his men to arrest Lucinia. This would force Lucinia to let go of her control and kill a lot of people, making her a criminal in the vampire world. However, since most people that she would kill were witches, she would also become the number one wanted by the witches.
This would make her run away and avoid everyone. Duke Mo would also vanish with her. With the two most powerful people away, the kingdom would fell into chaos. Gavril and Kuzma would have an all-out fight, and she… she would become a pawn in this silly game! In the end, she would suffer a fate worse than death in Prince Kuzma's hands as he becomes the next king with that Zacharia by his side.
This time, Cassandra was adamant in making Princess Lucinia and Mo Li stay by coming in here ahead of Zach and Kuzma. She was planning to make Lucinia fight with Kuzma instead. She was certain that Lucinia would have the ability to kill the man in mere seconds. So she tried to sacrifice herself, hoping that Lucinia would pity her and attack Kuzma.
Who would have thought that… that she would choose to sit down there and watched the show? Cassandra might have changed the future, but she wasn't too sure if she would like the outcome of her actions.
Her face turned dark when she realized that her current wound is giving her too much pain. Would she really die from trying to change the future?
