After eating, Leo quickly returned to his room to calm himself down.
Because of Veronica, Leo imdiately rembered Elizabeth's vaguely naked body inside the cultivation room. He had already successfully forgotten such a scene in his mind because of the excitent of finally being able to summon a Fire Elental. But unfortunately, things wouldn't always go as one wanted. Veronica had annoyingly caused him to think back about what had happened.
"Ayst...! Won are really the embodint of trouble!" Leo said, shaking his head before going to the bathroom to take a bath and to sleep afterwards.
.....
The next morning, Leo was imdiately woken up by a sudden loud shout inside the villa.
The sound ca out from Veronica's room, causing anyone that has awoken up by the shout to run towards the room.
Unexpectedly though, the mont Leo walked out of his room, he found out it was only him who bothered to find out what that shout was all about.
He could only shake his head helplessly soon after. He quickly understood the reason why the others didn't wake up.
The villa has guards from Sword and Magic, Snow Noble Household, and Honoris Noble Household, all over the place. So, if there was really a problem, then it would only be sothing that the guards can't handle, which was sothing next to impossible.
Who in their right mind would even dare to cause any trouble in a villa with Sword and Magic, Snow Noble Household, and Honoris Noble Household guarding in place?
Moreover, so girls would even shout about a small problem, such as finding a rat or a bug in their room or losing one important make-up or clothes. Maybe Veronica was such a kind of girl, right?
Furthermore, Veronica was alive since she could shout. Concluding that she wasn't dead or the likes.
So, Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel didn't bother about it and had obviously just thought of leaving the problem for Leo to handle while they continue sleeping.
"So early, what the heck was that sound all about?!" Leo exclaid in annoyance while walking towards Veronica's room. It was just too early in the morning. Specifically, the sky wasn't even that bright yet. Also, there was no need for any student to go to their classroom for today since it's the third day of the third week, hence waking up early was really annoying.
Arriving outside of Veronica's room, Leo imdiately saw her with a solemn and fearful face while staring at sothing inside a box.
Leo imdiately hit his face really hard to pull himself together before quickly walking towards the opened box right in front of Veronica. Since she was currently wearing such kind of expression, obviously it ant sothing serious.
As soon as Leo arrived in a position enough to see the inside of the box, he shockingly saw ahead, specifically the head of Veronica's butler. There was also a letter in the box, which he quickly took out to read.
"Greetings, Lady Veronica, this is the Black organization! Your Butler has unfortunately failed his mission, so death was his punishnt, and along with the others who were with the mission. If you don't turn yourself into us, then the people protecting you would also die like your Butler! I'm expecting that Leo Heart is also with you at this mont. If not, then please tell him this. Return the 12 pieces of large Mana stones to us or he will die along with his dearest people at Heart city! That's all, and all hail the Dark God!"
Leo imdiately crumpled the letter after reading its content. Then he burned it into ashes.
"Hmph! Stupid heretics that only know how to threaten people... As if you can even lay your hands in my city!" Leo mockingly thought in his mind. The Black organization wasn't even able to infiltrate any part of the southern region of Silver Kingdom, yet they dare threaten his city. They must be foolish to even think of being able to get inside his city.
"What was the content of the letter about?" Veronica quickly asked the mont she saw Leo suddenly burning the letter into ashes. Obviously, it only ans that the letter's content was sothing important for him to burn it after reading. So, she wanted to know about it. Moreover, it was sent to her, so she has the right to know what its content was all about.
"The people that kidnapped you wanted you to turn yourself to them voluntarily or else all of us protecting you would die like what had happened to your Butler. Don't mind them... Since they can only send a letter and not kill you when they were sending it, then it ans that they can't do any harm to you anymore. This letter was just them trying to save their own face." Leo said as he quickly took the box with the head before excusing himself out of the room. He wanted to give the box to the guards around so that they will send a ssage to their bosses about what had happened here. And to also investigate how the box appeared in Veronica's room.
The Black organization might have only sent a letter this ti, but Leo knew that alone had already ant that they can take anyone's life in the villa if they wanted to in anyti. For them to be able to get in and out as they wished, that only implies that the people guarding the area were not enough. Unless, of course, if soone within the guards was a hidden mber of the Black organization and had quietly slipped the box in Veronica's room at night.
If that was the case, then giving the box to one of the guards just beca more important. The box would be the clue to find who was the traitor, then afterwards get that person to be interrogated for information about the Black organization.
After Leo left, Cassandra soon after arrived inside Veronica's room. To be honest, Cassandra really wanted to continue sleeping, but knowing what just happened in Veronica's room was constantly bugging her mind.
"What happened?" Cassandra imdiately asked the mont she saw Veronica with a serious face.
"The kidnappers sent a ssage. They wanted to turn myself in or else all of you guys will die... Should I..." Veronica said while feeling fearful and helpless at the sa ti inside her mind. Leo and the others have already beco her newfound friend, and that has made her really happy. But, if her being with them will cause them harm, or worst to die, then she might as well leave them.
However, at the sa ti, Veronica was also hesitating. She only has Princess Tiana and Karl as her friend aside from Leo and the others. She doesn't want to just leave Leo and the others and then continue living a life in loneliness once again...
The truth was, because of her status, Veronica was always living a life of loneliness inside her manor or even in Honoris city. That was the reason why she was only playing with queen bees when Leo and the others first et her. It wasn't because she just wanted to play with the queen bees to waste ti, but because she doesn't have any friends in the Honoris city, hence she could only play with the bees.
Veronica was the next ruler of the Honoris city and the next heir of the Honoris Noble Household, so it should be expected that she would have many friends with her. But unfortunately, it was contrary to that. She doesn't have any aside from Princess Tiana and Royal Magical Knight Karl.
Because of her status of being the Heiress of the Honoris Noble Household, Veronica always ets with people that only wanted to befriend her because of her status. Their thoughts were obvious. They only wanted to form so sort of relationship with her so that they will have so advantages when having a business with any of the Honoris Noble Household businesses.
However, Leo, Cassandra, Angel, Alfred, Anna, Michael, Adrian, Angelo, and Raffy were different. They didn't care about Veronica's status; they treat her as their friend because she was here. In fact, Leo and the others don't even care what her status was and had accepted her because they can trust her and because she's not a burden or a leech-like those of a shaful bunch of students from Class 1S .
So, Veronica hesitated whether she should leave to make Leo and the others stay away from her trouble or to stay and just don't care about what troubles to co. Simply put, a choice between being selfish or selfless.
"Oh, then what did Leo say?" Cassandra quickly asked, which then pulled Veronica from her depressing thoughts.
"Don't mind them since the letter was just the Black organization trying to save so face due to their failure, but..." Veronica replied but was then interrupted by Elizabeth who just arrived.
"Aystt... I woke up since your shout was constantly bugging my mind. Then I'll just find you being depressed. Why don't you just follow what that idiot had said! He might not be as reliable as he seems, but trust , you can trust him with your worries!" Elizabeth said, quietly sounding like Leo.
"But what if..." Veronica wanted to continue, but she was again interrupted, this ti by Angel.
"If you don't trust Elizabeth's words, then just believe what Madam Silva sees in Leo. She believed Leo a lot, obviously, there would be a reason for that, right?" Angel suddenly said.
"I..." Veronica wanted to continue again, but she just can't find any words to say. She really appreciates their concern, really, but she just can't help but worry that she would cause them trouble if she indeed stays.
"Do you want to stay or not?" Elizabeth imdiately followed up.
"Yes... But..."
"Then just stay! If they want to kill us, then let's just push Leo in front to block their strikes, hahaha!" Elizabeth said while letting out a laugh. Her words really sounded like Leo. It was like she knew him really well that she was familiar with how he does things.
"Hey, you can't just push him in front!" Cassandra quickly defended.
"Oh, then what are you going to do? Block in his place. Would he even allow you to?"
"Unexpectedly, this ti I can't find any words to disagree with Elizabeth..." Angel butted in.
"Right....?" Elizabeth said, puffing her breast proudly.
"But..." Cassandra wanted to argue back, but she can't find anything to defend Leo because that was indeed like him. The best example was what happened back at Yellow Forest and when they were attacked by that 3 Star Mage.
anwhile, Leo just listened behind the wall to how the 4 beautiful girls argue about him. He could only shake his head while letting out a smile as he slowly walked away. Unbeknownst to him, his usual mischievous smile was now replaced with a genuine smile.
Leo was also worried about what Veronica would think about after knowing the content of the letter. So, he hurriedly went upstairs to comfort her after giving the box to one of the guards. But it seems like he doesn't need to do so anymore.
"Having friends is really a blessing!" Leo whispered silently before going downstairs to eat his breakfast.
