“Have you forgotten the weapons you used in the past?” Anne took out the crossbow out of thin air and then threw it to Hazel who held it tightly in her hands.

The weapons felt strange yet familiar at the same time when she tried it with her hands.

She found the word “bell” written on the corner with magic that sparkled under the dark.

“I am sure it could even kill a human and rot it from inside so that the person would not be able to wake up ever.” she said as she took another cross bow and filled the poisonous arrows in it.

Anne looked at the aim of another bag soldier bound to a wooden stick in the garden and closed one of her eyes

She shot the bow only for the sandbag to fall on the ground and all the same coming out from it.

“You can even practice on your old mouse if you want.” she stared at Hazel who chuckled when Rafael glared at her as if warning, “do not dare to shoot me again!” Hazel chuckled but she felt a strange familiarity while looking at it.

As if.. She shook her head.

“I wonder how I would get killed if I was so strong and I had so many loved ones with me.” she had seen herself trapped in the small cage and dying from the third point of view.







The girl trapped there was so agitated that she did not notice, but Hazel could feel that witches could not do that with her and humans had no reason to.

Who was among them?

“But only winning a hunting contest would not be enough!” said Raphael as he took the crossbow from her hands making sure that she did not have any other weapons, he finally smiled at her.

“They do not need a knight but a ruler.” That was true! She knows that too.

“This far only Celina and Luhan had shown interest in you. The good thing is, their family is one of the strong contenders for the position, so you will not face immediate threat.” she nodded but knew what was about to come when she felt the smile faltering from his face.

“But the bad thing is.. They are young blood and did not have such a position that you can claim yourself as ruler just with the support of two of them.” he held her shoulders and brought her back into his arms when he felt her taking a deep sigh.

He assured her but they both knew it was a difficult job.

“We have to know their weakness or their desires for that!” he nodded with a smirk when she finally grasped the situation and offered her the papers the young man had left behind.

“I must say Declan had done a great job in finding the details of all the nobles.” as she sat on the chair and checked all the papers, he offered, “you do not have to worry about the funds for helping others. I am here to back you up!” She raised her head and looked at him with gratitude.

She knew that it was only a whim that she wanted to take the responsibility of the empire but if he would help her, then she could do anything.







Her hands clenched tightly when she flipped the paper and realized more nobles than she had expected are related with the market of black alley market where men and women are sold as commodities.

“If I stop working on the black market, the commoners would be in my support. And..” she started with a grave voice when he blinked.

“And the nobles would be against you but at the same time, their source of income would be trained so they have to come in your support for their survival!” That was it! Though she nodded her voice still had a layer of grooming and her eyes looked somver.

“But that is a risky plan, they could even think of getting rid from you to gain your position.” She was not worried about it. So, she shook her head. “The family of the empress could reject it and so did the other nobles that are in the advisory committee. So, I have to find a way that they would not be able to reject my proposal when I place it in front of everyone.”

“Hmm!” he nodded, though the emperor rule a empire, he still have to take the confidence of all the rich and higher nobles, so that they would support him later.

“Well, that is easy!” said Anne as she played the small bullet in her hands and then she filled it in the gun and shot it.

The bullet was modified by Hazel, so it but then the whole tree and turned it into dust.

“If the place was destroyed, no one could protect it.” Hazel raised a brow as the idea was just like her. Unruly and wild and it looked completely different from the personality of her sister who was kind and affectionate, yet she nodded with a whistle and applause.

“Do not tell me that you are going to burn the whole area without me!” said Rafael, standing up and walking to the sisters who were already hugging each other as if they could not stay away from each other.

“It has been days since i am only sitting and talking.” he said with furrowed brows but his eyes were already twinkling and the fire of the tree seemed to be reflecting in his eyes. “It is time to have some action.”

He hugged Hazel from behind who was still in the arms of Anne when she raised her head with a new thrill dancing on them matching the rhythm of the other two.

“Then Anne will go and save the men and women with me while you will burn the place so that nobles have a hard time finding the trace of it in their maps.”
