Chapter 177

«Sweet lady! Finally, I have found you!» – The prince exclaimed with a smile, slowly heading towards his “sweetheart.”

«I am no sweet lady for you. And don’t you dare to come any closer, or you will greatly regret it. I’m in no mood to deal with an asshole like you..»

The prince stopped. Then he laughed nervously. – «My lady, it was a misunderstanding last time! My people are …»

«Feeding the worms.» – The girl in black snapped. – «I’m not interested in relationships, especially with someone who once crossed my path. Get lost.»

Her last meeting with Charles ended with two killed servants. The prince insisted on having dinner with her, but after her second no, his guards misinterpreted the gentleman’s intentions and tried to seize the girl by force. As a result, she quickly ended the lives of the two nobles (4) with a slash to their throats. They did not even have time to react to the attack.

The prince looked at the boy, who for some reason, was sitting at the same table with her, and ordered angrily:

«Don’t bother the adults. Go to the rest of them in line.»

Kyon flared his nostrils in rage, but he didn’t get to respond.

«Only two people will stay here. And there will be no princes among them.» – She said through gritted teeth.

Charles was taken aback. Why was she protecting this feeble boy? Is he her brother? No… They are nothing alike.

«Please forget that misunderstanding! I sincerely regret that some of my servants can be too eager and misinterpret my wishes. They have already suffered their punishment. So let’s talk in private, without any witnesses. It’s really important!» – There wasn’t a hint of excitement or fear in the prince’s voice before the girl who was many times more powerful than he was. He spoke clearly, nonchalantly, carefully choosing his words.

«Didn’t you hear me?»

The prince clenched his teeth. The dangerous aura of the beautiful girl aggravated the situation. Besides, it was so annoying that she was kicking him out, not this unknown descendant of direct blood. He did not dare to continue the empty talk with the best killer in the kingdom, so he decided to use the last bargaining chip.

Charles took out a golden box and opened it. Inside there was a little fragrant blue ball of medicine. – «This is the breakthrough medicine, “Lightning bolt.” Only the best alchemists in the empire can make it. Its components are extremely rare and valuable resources. It’s too expensive for any family in the Iron Throne. Only the prince of the kingdom can afford it. I had been meaning to take it and break into the Lord phase in the near future. However, I am giving it to you to make up for the incident with my servants. Will you forgive me?» – The prince asked with hope in his voice. He made an obvious hint.

The girl in black was burning with a desire to get this priceless pill.

The prince was jubilant. Why was he so happy? He was going to give away invaluable medicine! However, if she liked his gift, her attitude towards him would improve. Then he could have dinner with her in Boston’s most expensive restaurant and find out who she was, prove himself a gentleman. If everything went smoothly, he would order the murder of his half-sister Kara. It would also be worth trying to make her his along the way…

The lady rose from the table, reached out her elegant, delicate hand, and took the pill with her long white fingers. Judging by the aroma and energy density around it, the prince didn’t lie, the medicine was really invaluable. Her eyes sparkled with greed. She placed the little ball in her ring and sat down graciously. Then she said calmly:

«I accept your apologies, Prince Charles.»

The prince breathed a sigh of relief and headed toward her with a smile when all of a sudden a silver spark flashed. He felt the edge of a curved dagger at his neck.

«Haven’t you heard what I said? I will remind you as an exception. Only two people will stay here. And there will be no princes among them.»

Kyon looked at the prince, then at the girl in shock. He was ready for anything but to see this cute little thorny con the prince out of the precious medicine and put a dagger to his neck! She was too dangerous and self-confident!

Charles’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was embarrassed as if she had poured a bucket of cold water on his head. She had disappointed all his expectations. The prince swallowed and made reflexively three steps back, away from the deadly dagger. – «But I gave you the breakthrough medicine that cost me an arm and a leg! Haven’t you forgotten me for that misunderstanding? Aren’t you grateful for this?»

The descendant of the Grands was annoying like a pesky fly buzzing around her ears.

«You said you wanted to apologize in this way. I have forgiven you. What do I have to be thankful for? If you step on my foot and apologize, should I say thank you for that? Or do you think that some little pill would make me warm and cuddly? Have you been already making plans to have dinner with me in the restaurant? I told you I am not interested in relationships, especially not with you. But the stupid prince does not listen to me at all. Does he want to repeat the fate of his underdeveloped guards?»

Charles’s face froze. Did this pretty hellcat put an equal sign between “some little pill” and his apology for the death of his two arrogant servants at her own hands?! He made his intentions clear to get closer to her, but she simply ignored him! What a narcissistic egoist she was! Of course, she was the leader of the guild of killers, an unsurpassed genius, and just a cutie, but it didn’t justify her unscrupulous ways!

However, the prince didn’t let any swear words roll off his tongue even if he had so much to say to this arrogant lady. He was no rival to her. His back was covered with cold sweat because of her murderous aura. The prince was about to blow a gasket. He felt like having been robbed! Only, he had given the “wallet” himself, without saying a word.

«Y-you… Your audacity is shocking… Everyone would understand the reason behind this precious gift! I’m not any dude you can meet on the street, I’m the only prince Grand! And I always get my way!» – Charles couldn’t help it, after all.

~whoosh~

A throwing knife flew out of nowhere through the air and left a slight scratch on the prince’s ear. Charles staggered back two steps, clutching his ear. He was looking at the girl helplessly, desperately. He had never met anyone so unattainable, who would ignore his highest authority in the kingdom.

«Coniferous poison that got into your blood will kill you in twenty minutes if you do not take any measures. I advise you to to contact the royal physician for an antidote immediately.» – The girl in black said casually as if it was her everyday activity to poison the royalty. Then she sat back at the table.

The prince’s mouth opened and closed silently, which made him look like a fish thrown ashore. «Y-y-y-you…» – He began but didn’t finish. The prince rushed to the door. He couldn’t disregard the words of the best killer.

If the girl could laugh, she would roar with laughter now. The boy sitting next to her did it for her. He burst out laughing so hard that he nearly fell from his chair.

He gradually came to his senses, wiped away tears of laughter, and said:

«Coniferous poison! The biggest joke of the century! Only one thing can neutralize it, and its side effect is a three-week erection! Ha ha ha!» – Kyon found it amusing that she had lied, and the prince had believed her, judging by the horror in his eyes. Lovr was delighted! He had never met a girl who was so much like him! She didn’t miss a trick, just like he would never have done! She got her hands on the valuable medicine so carelessly and unscrupulously (an idea to give it back had never crossed her mind, it was something that only a stupid girl with the “right” manners and upbringing would do). More than that, she had kicked the prince out under a false pretense that would cause the guy great awkward pain for three weeks!

The girl was impressed with the boy’s knowledge. Not everyone knew about the coniferous poison, and even more so about the side effect of the drug that neutralized it. However, her face became even colder when she asked Kyon quietly:

«Was it you who called him here?» – If he answered “yes,” he would pay the price.

With sincere bewilderment on his face, Kyon asked a counter-question, still chuckling softly into his fist:

«Why should I?»

The beautiful dark-haired lady’s face was cold and distant again. The prince irritated her with his perseverance. His announcement to the whole kingdom about her search had enraged her. She didn’t kill him because it would send the entire Ministry of Public Order after her. She didn’t want to get in trouble..

«Never mind. Let’s start analyzing the Empress.» – The girl said.

Before the prince arrived, they had just finished discussing all the twelve generals. She was keen on getting more information. She needed to find out as much as possible about the Empress, her sworn enemy.

Two elders and seventeen descendants of direct blood saw the pale prince running out of the library at great speed, his face contorted with a grimace of horror. Everyone froze in shock.

«What the heck?! Did the girl drive him away, too?!» – Jeremy cried out.

The boys’ expectations were destroyed. They had decided that she was destined to be the bride of the prince. Who was Prince Charles Grand in the kingdom? He was number two in the younger generation and the king’s son! However, the girl kicked even him out! They couldn’t forget the wild fear in his eyes.

«Who does she think she is?! Why did she let the little brat sit next to her reading books? How could she kick the prince out?!» – The beefy guy shouted in anger. He was full of indignation.

None of those present could understand what was going on. Only one thing was clear. The girl was extremely dangerous, and obviously beyond their level. They’d better stay away from her.
