When Charlie turned 16, she became The Queen of a notorious criminal underworld called Zerpus Empire. She was infamous under her title as Lady Luke.
Charlie is 18 now.
She don't want to live as Lady Luke anymore.
What will happen when a retir...
It's time for evening report. Walking up the stairs Ellen's thoughts were still about Ordell. Queen didn't mentioned about whether i can talk with him or not wasn't because she have doubts but she knows even if i interrogate him i can't read him.
"Are you daydreaming in front of my room? " Charlie opened her door and saw Ellen standing in a daze. A kindled candle spread light in her room. And some kind of old familiar beautiful aroma kept coming from the Candle.
Ellen is standing bewildered.
How did Charlie get hold of that Old Candle? Wait. She kindled a Candle in her room?? Weird !!
"You think too much Ellen" Charlie couldn't help asking after reading through Ellen.
Elli, How long are you going to pretend ? Do you think i never knew anything?
This question, which is easy to ask, Charlie have been asking inside her mind for years. She couldn't bring herself to ask. Ask about the bitter story of their childhood. Because it's too bitter to remember.
"Ellen do you see this? " Playing with hair looking to the shadow Charlie asked .
"Sorry? "
"Shadow.... My shadow... "

"Do you want to look in a mirror? It will be more beautiful "
Charlie suddenly stopped playing in her hair and turned to Charlie.
"Stop questioning me Lieutenant General. I won't fall for your tricks. And we both know that very clearly. " Mentioning about the mirror is simply pointing out her changes. A person who never looks in a mirror because she hate herself to that extend is now enjoying her own shadow. If that isn't a big change, then i donno what is.
" Report " Queen growled in a very calm voice.
"Three of the Dukes want to discuss their concerns with you tomorrow.... ....... Blah... ....... Blah Blah... .
... Blah Blah Blah...."
It went on about an hour. Charlie listened to all and just kept quiet. In the end of the report Ellen presented the idea of teaching Ordell and Nathi self defensive methods.
Charlie didn't want to teach them anything of her filthy world. But what to do? ! She is the one who brought all these chaos to their life. She, herself have to bring that to an end, right?
Training began within few days. They focused on mastering some basic moves and some shooting techniques. They both showed an extraordinary talent in both. Ordell was good with Guns. Maybe because he is a sharp learner. While Nathania mastered physical moves very easily. They both were too excellent for beginners.
Weeks passed. It became very rare for Charlie to show up in the mansion. She dealt with the dukes. Though she used to sent her slaves for field missions, now she herself goes with them in disguise . Both the Queen and her friends are preparing for a battle.
