Lucy was blinded in one aspect.
Indeed. Who exactly was behind the scenes that ensured that the 'Case' was Closed?
At the time, everyone else turned their heads to the other side after seeing Lucy's mother dying and were even more convinced of her peasant status and lowly life.
And not too long after, Lucy was thrown out and lived in agony as a beggar before being picked up by mother Kim.
From everyone's angle, it looked like Lucy had a trait of attracting peasant nobles since mother Kim herself was also unwanted and looked down on Noble.
At the time, Alec Barn had even found it insulting to call her a royal.
So want Lucy just going from the fireman to the fire?
There were no more doubts about Lucy's mother after that.
Tsk! Boring.
If she really had a mysterious power behind her, then would she die? Would her only daughter end up like this?
At this time, the few people who still had doubts completely let them go.
Well, it looked like the majority of people were right, and they had been eating their time on this matter for nothing.
With that, one could say that Lucy was somewhat saved.
But what they and even Lucy didn't know was that 7 months back, Lucy's mother had long made up her mind on what she needed to do.
.
At the time, even though it didn't look like it, her being alive was already causing a storm in the Capital.
She hadn't been idle while staying there. And sooner or later, she would've been found out.
Thus, she had to die for Lucy to live!
That's why before her death, she had found a way to whisper pitiful words to mother Kim's way.
Everything had come as she had predicted.
She didn't know why, but after investigating nonstop, her heart had told her that mother Kim would be her best bet.
So even several weeks and months after her death, Mother Mim picking Lucy up might seem like an accident to both parties. But the real person who had long pulled the strings was dead
And before her death, she gave Lucy a locket and said just a single sentence to Lucy: "Forget about the past, and Live on."
Recalling the words, Lucy had thought the words were meant for her to forget about her abused past.
But now, why did she think otherwise?
Should she really forget her mother's past and move on?
No! Impossible!
For the first time, Lucy wanted to be disobedient.
Can you really blame her?
.
It was hot and summery outdoors, but within the room, the air felt frosty and so chilly that it could freeze water in the blink of an eye.
Betrayal!
The hostages all felt cold, scared and hurt when looking at the scene.
And the witches, on the other hand, all grinned in ecstasy when seeing Lucy stretch her hand at them.
Hahahhahahaha!
The traitor's daughter had fallen into their trap.
Heh. Once they got back to Tenola, they would extract all they needed before offering her as a sacrifice to appease themselves, as well as their Goddess of Sorcery & Witchcraft.
Too easy. It was freakin' too easy!
Number 5's lips couldn't help quivering a bit as she watched Lucy reach to grab her extended hand.
Oops. She thought the traitor's daughter would have grown a brain since then.
But from the looks of it, the traitor might not have even told the idiot about her identity or taught her any skill.
Sigh... It was almost as easy as taking goat milk from a baby.
Tch! To think that they had gotten her elite group for this mission when even the lower-level ȧssassins could do it.
As for why they didn't bother hiding any information from the hostages, it was all because they had long decided to kill them all after this. Even the women.
But of course, they wouldn't show or tell Lucy this yet since she seemed to care for them.
Heh. But after sending her ahead first, how would she know if they killed the hostages?
Good. Good. Good Plan!
...
Number 5 smiled broadly while looking at Lucy's hands in slow motion: "Chosen One, Welcome to the sisterhood!"
"Yes, sister. Welcome."
Everyone was smiling from molar to molar while watching Lucy's hand finally grasp Number 5's.
Betrayal. Betrayal.
That was all the Baymardians thought, though, they also somewhat understood Lucy's actions from the words these witches said.
But understanding didn't mean accepting.
Betrayal was betrayal.
~Bam!
... -silence-
Invisible crickets creaked as everyone's eyes bulged out in shock and disbelief.
Eh?
Why didn't everything go according to script?
They blinked severally as their minds finally registered the fact that after Lucy gripped Number 5's hands, they only saw after images of her headbutting Number 5, sending her back to her group of witches.
The Baymardians had no evidence, but they felt like they had been played emotionally by Lucy.
But even so, their smiles couldn't stop blooming in sheer joy.
However, the same couldn't be said for the witches... Especially Number 5.
She gritted her teeth carefully, looked at Lucy who was gently rubbing her forehead, and almost spat out blood in shock.
Dammit!
What sort of iron head did the traitor's daughter have?
Maybe it was because she didn't see it coming, but she felt like her skull was constantly ringing and cracking at this moment. She and her sisters couldn't help glaring at Lucy viciously.
"We came to you with love and respect. And this is the way you treat us?"
Love and respect?
Lucy looked at the ladies and sneered: "You come in here, threaten me to come with you, hold my people hostage, and talk ill of my father-in-law and fiance nonstop and expect me to just side with you?"
Lucy scoffed in rage at the furious expression of the ladies: "I admit that I was tempted. But make no mistake. Even if I want to know the truth, I'll do it not alone but with my family. Additionally, I so badly want to beat the...'' Lucy suddenly paused, closed Kora's ears, before turning to her Baymardians in apology: "Pardon my language. But I so badly want to beat the ~Bleep. Out of these ~ Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. Stupid... Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. Bleeeeep~~~!"
(°_°)
Blink. Blink.
Princess, is that you?
The Baymardians twitched while listening to Lucy's cursing.
If someone had told them that she could curse, they wouldn't believe it at all!
But even at that, why did they still think that she was so handsome?
The way she had it in a noble manner, with a calm face, greatly constructed the words coming out from her mouth.
Kora couldn't hear anything, but she also felt like her sister-in-law was so cool!
Lucy resisted rolling her eyes, gripped Kora hard and leaned into her ears closely, even though she knew that Kora might not be able to understand: "Baby. Hold on to elder sister, alright. Things are going to get rough."
[The supposedly ignorant Kora]: (*0*)... Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
"_"
Lucy looked at the twinkle in the baby's eyes and was helpless.
Sigh...What does a baby know?
She stopped her arm and prepared for battle.
It looks like she would have to fight with just her legs and one of her arms... Not that it would be a problem.
Oh well, today would be the day when witches got beat.
Round 1.... Fight!
