Chapter 125
Ch . 125 This Is Going To Be Fun (2)
Swiiiigeu–
Kuhn recovered himself and quickly slipped out from Elena’s room . Time was running out, and he had to rush the message to Carlisle . He was only a few steps away from the window when–
Kuhn paused and looked back . There was a faint presence, and he swiftly concealed his face with a mask he carried on him . Thanks to Kuhn’s quick instincts, his opponent wouldn’t be able to properly identify him . Kuhn was primarily an assassin, and he couldn’t risk being seen .
Tadot!
He took a step towards the direction he sensed the presence . Whoever it was that had watching Elena’s room in the middle of the night was now gone . Kuhn hurriedly checked the surroundings, but there was no sign of anyone .
“…Did I miss them?”
Kuhn’s customary blank facade began to crease . There were not many people throughout Ruford Empire who could make such a clean escape from him . Whoever it was was highly skilled, and he could not risk this person being near Elena .
“One more thing to report to the General as soon as possible . ”
After a soft whisper, he disappeared from the scene like a shadow . He was moving at such a high speed, that if one didn’t know any better, it was as if he simply disappeared .
When Kuhn was gone, a shadow emerged from behind a tree . There was a crunching sound as the mysterious figure took a bite out of an apple . The shadowy man was Batori, who was employed at Blaise mansion under false pretenses .
“…Who is he?”
Batori smiled in amusement . Such a brilliant man had come into Elena’s room in the middle of the night . Batori had not foreseen this, and his interest couldn’t help but be piqued .
“Perhaps he has something to do with the Crown Prince?”
Some time ago, several people attacked and seriously injured Batori when he was tracking Elena’s bead ring . The other man must have something to do with his attackers and Carlisle’s men . Batori took another bite from his apple and muttered to himself wistfully .
“…I wish I could’ve seen your face . ”
If he hadn’t restrained himself, he could have caught the other man . Paveluc only ordered him to watch on Elena from afar, not interfere, and so Batori hid himself before he could be discovered . He gave a low whistle, and the corners of his mouth lifted up .
“Hwiyueu— Things are going to be fun . ”

The next evening .
Elena dressed herself elaborately for Redfield’s party . Mirabelle looked pleased with the gown she had chosen, and gave her sister a thumbs up .
“Mm-hmm . Perfect!”
“Thank you . You don’t have to do this every time . ”
“Not at all, I’m just having fun . I’m becoming more and more interested in dresses lately . ”
“Really?”
Elena looked delighted at her sister’s talent in design, while Mirabelle scratched her nose in embarrassment .
“Anyway, be back soon sister . You haven’t had proper rest because of all the wedding preparations . ”
“Everything is fine thanks to your help . Most of what’s left are the finishing touches . ”
“It’s not a problem . The wedding date is soon, so be careful not to get hurt . ”

Elena smiled faintly at Mirabelle’s worried nagging and stroked her sister’s hair .
“Yes, I’ll be careful . ”
The two walked together to the entrance of the mansion . Michael was waiting by the carriage and bowed respectfully .
“Please come back safely, My Lady . ”
Michael’s grim expression told Elena that he knew about the truth about the blackmail, but she responded casually .
“Yes . I’ll see you when I get back . ”
Mirabelle, oblivious to what was in store for Elena, looked on brightly as she waved her hand .
“Enjoy yourself, sister . ”
“I won’t be too late . ”
When Elena finished saying her farewell, she boarded the carriage emblazoned with the Blaise crest . It began to move forward, not towards the Imperial Palace, but to a remote villa some distance from the capital where the party was held .

Elena stared at the passing scenery . Suddenly, she remembered the night she rode on horseback through the forest with Carlisle . She couldn’t freely ride a horse like she used to, and a heavy regret settled inside of her .
The journey took some time until, finally, the carriage arrived at its destination . The coachman opened the carriage door, and Elena tentatively stepped outside .
“I’ll be waiting outside, so call me when you’re ready to leave, My Lady . ”
“Yes . ”
Elena gave a brief reply and walked forward, the mask sent by Redfield in hand . The masquerade ball was a unique event where everyone present concealed their faces . It wasn’t a large enough gathering to call it a ball, but the purpose of the event was the same .
Everyone at the entrance was wearing a mask, and Elena immediately put hers on before going inside and appearing in front of everyone .
Ttogag ttogageu–
The crowd’s eyes were riveted on Elena as passed them by with a rich, plumed mask adorning her face . It seemed that she always drew attention even if nobody knew who she was . Concealing her face could not suppress her beauty entirely .
And so, Elena entered the party hosted by Redfield .
