Chapter 14- Misunderstanding

Elise wanted to talk with Nero alone. It's only four months before Alicia's fifteen birthday. Winter season is coming closely and the same with the bad events of the story. Elise recalled the book of "The Lazy Lucky Princess", Alicia will get kidnapped and Samantha will get poisoned. They're both in danger, though Elise is not certain because the story is already in a wrong direction when Elise was locked up in the dungeon. She can't help but to have an anxiety.

Timing is off, Alicia is talking with Nero now. They about to leave to go back in the academy. Elise wanted to talk with Nero this early because she thinks that they are running out of time. She can't predict if Duke Molten will make a move earlier than the said date. She need to plan it meticulously unlike before that caught her off guard. Elise grip her hand after remembering unpleasant memories.

"Elise, I'm sorry. I need to go back now to the academy. I'm actually forbidden to go out but since Nero is with me the school allowed me."

Alicia is feeling guilty. She wanted to be with Elise as much as possible and talk to her more but she can't impose to Nero because she knows how dangerous it was for her to go outside of the academy.

"Then... Can I visit you instead, how about tomorrow? I want to talk to you about something and to sir Nero too."

Alicia frown after hearing that Elise wants to talk with Nero too. As much as possible she doesn't want to get them closer because of Nero's bad temper. She can't promise that Elise will be safe. She had mixed feelings, but Elise face is serious that somehow made her nervous.

Alicia carefully look at Nero for permission. Nero who was listening stare at Elise. He can't figure out what's special about the girl. But she looked determined that her brownish eyes become darker.

"Hmmmm..."

"It's every important sir Nero and it has something to do with Alicia."

Elise is now resting in her room. Erika already give her dinner that's why she just resting after taking a bath. She's really thankful with Erika, she assists her mostly that's why she still can get by a day.

Elise recalled the conversation earlier when Nero brutally rejected her. He didn't trust her and there's a scary look in his eyes. Now that she thinks of it, Nero basically keep calling her 'commoner' not in her name. Elise gritted her teeth. He is capable alright but his attitude sucks! Did he misunderstand something? Did he think I'm a leech taking advantage of Alicia? what a brute!

Elise let go of the frustration. Why she even assuming of ridiculous things? Tomorrow is another day and the story from the book she memorizes was entangled now. She can't find timing for anything. Elise spend her night thinking then suddenly, an idea pop out!

It was an early morning when Elise wake up. she grooms herself and did not eat because she doesn't want to bother people this early beside she can't cook and the estate is big. The only direction she knew is the entrance and the way to her room. Like usual, Elise ponytail her long brown hair and wear a cap. She wears pants and keep the bag of money Alicia gave her.

Unlike Elise thought she gets out easily. The guards did not mind her not even look at her. Aren't they so sloppy for the job? Elise made sure to take note of it. She's upset for a moment.

Elise arrived at the capital as soon as the sun sets. Last night, she is restless that she remembered something important from the book The Lazy Lucky Princess. There will be a cave of mana near the mountain of Yaven. It is known as a spirit mountain where according to legends, The Yaven Tribe traditional homeland. It was surrounded by river valleys and higher hills. The Yaven Tribe used to live at the mountain to guard the spirits power. Spirit power that can heal poisons and curse by dark magic. Manny mercenaries tried to find the power but continued to get lost that made the summit gathered bad rumors.

Elise is confident that she can find the cave but she's not confident in fighting the wilds. She needed a mercenary that can fight in her stead. Then thinking about strong and trust worthy mercenary... She remembers the leader of Peru Guild- Rj.

Peru Guild is one of the popular guild in the empire. They gathered information faster like ghost and because of the temper of the leader they're sometimes went to a fight that slightly the reason why they lost their prestige. They were called as crazy king. Elise shake her head with the author of The Lazy Lucky Princess, ridiculing it. 'Crazy king' was the most uncool thing that she remembered it clearly even if she doesn't want too.

Rj is hard to understand but he is trustworthy and intelligent. He knows when a person is lying and suspicious, that's why Peru guild is famous among the guilds also why Elise planned to get him to her side. Originally, the Peru guild will help Alicia in the future but She's in the hurry now that's why there were no differences even if Elise will ask for their help earlier. It's better to have them to work now, Elise never think of any remorse.

Even if the Peru Guild will reject her, she knew their leader's weakness. Elise plan to convince the leader of Peru Guild by helping him get rid of his weakness. Elise examine the alley and after walking more steps, a small store appeared before her she smirks and entered the store.
