Chapter 429 Lockdown
"What is going on?"
"How do I know? Shouldn't we be asking which criminal dared to break into the President's own guild and his own ho?"
"There is no way that criminal will escape from this building. He surely got extra bones in his spine to have such guts."
"Anyway, the ball wasn't supposed to end till the night. Let's just enjoy the drama and see who this bold and foolish criminal is after he gets caught."
Yanah frowned as she tapped Sera's elbow subtly, "Don't tell this criminal is…"
Seraphina slowly turned her head around with a blank expression as she firmly pressed her lips together, not knowing what to do.
She was frantically sending signals to Viktor to simply run away with the fruit since there was no way she could peacefully leave this building.
She was sure vron must have probably caught on to the fact that Viktor or Azu stole the fruit and imdiately ordered a lockdown.
But based on Viktor's signals, she learned that he was already outside, fortunately, and that was why she didn't want him to co back. As long as her realm could be saved, she was ready to face what was coming. Even if she didn't know Viktor for that long, she already trusted him more than he thought.
Seeing Sera's slightly shaken expression, Yanah imdiately realized that Azu was the cause behind all this ruckus.
"Ugh…I knew it…I shouldn't have finished what I had to do instead of waiting for him," Yanah grumbled in frustration since now that everybody was on high alert, how could she carry out her plan?
She already risked a lot by getting herself captured and now wasn't she dood for real? She knew since vron found out about Azu, he would naturally make sure Seraphina faces the consequences even if Azu manages to escape. And that would only make things harder for her as well.
She decided to use whatever it required to escape from here before she got caught in this shitstorm for real. Maybe today wasn't just her day.
"I don't know what you plan to do here, but you should try to escape now, Yanah. You will get in trouble because of if you stay here any longer," Seraphina said with a soft smile, though one could sense the sadness yet the sincere concern in her voice.
Yanah could see that Sera seed to have resigned to her fate and didn't seem disappointed that her husband or whoever that guy was had just run away without her.
Even if they didn't appear as a legitimate couple to her, she did indeed feel so close feelings and tension between them. Was that guy just feigning it the whole ti to use this innocent lady and then get rid of her after he was done?
'Ughhh, Yanah, you can't afford to be bothered about soone else,' Yanah was struggling inwardly to co to a decision. But the more she looked at Sera's face, the more she just couldn't bear to leave her alone.
"Stop talking nonsense and co with now. We are going to escape together," Yanah adamantly said after making a firm decision in her mind, even though this would an her chances of getting caught just increased significantly.
"Eh?" Seraphina was taken aback by Yanah's words since she wasn't expecting her to propose sothing like that, especially when it would put her life at more risk.
"What? Are you really planning to die here after your man abandoned you?" Yanah asked as she rolled her eyes.
"N-No, you misunderstand. It's not like—"
"Look, I don't care but do you want to live or not. Giving up without a fight is sothing only cowards would do," Yanah said firmly. She didn't even know why she was bothering so much to save her and blad it all on her puppy eyes.
Seraphina hesitated but seeing how adamant Yanah seed, she could only try and make her understand, "They have this whole place surrounded and locked down. How do you even plan to escape?"
"Sothing tells your man, Azu, is not a rabbitman, and he sohow had your help to make it look like he is one. So how about you use your tricks on us, and we get out of here easily?" Yanah asked with a smirk.
Seraphina took a deep breath as she nodded while feeling relieved in the only fact that Viktor made it out safely. If anything had happened to him, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself.
anwhile, a few minutes ago, in vron's bedroom, the tension in the air had never been so high,
"Dear…what is all this? Why did you lock the…" Ara ca back to the bedroom upon being startled by the sudden lockdown. She was already feeling anxious that Narin wasn't responding, but the sudden announcent distracted her, and she had to rush back and see what was going on. She clearly knew who this 'criminal' might be and that only worried her even more.
But now, upon feeling the heavy, suffocating aura emanating from vron, Ara found it impossible to finish her sentence. She was already getting the feeling that she was done for.
vron's back was facing her as he stood rigidly in the middle of the room, his hands shaking uncontrollably behind his back. However, his voice was dangerously calm as he spoke, "Ara…Do you know the reason I married you? It was not only because you were beautiful and elegant in your mannerisms but because you had the wits and the guts to lead a life beside . Despite being a princess, you knew how to handle all sorts of people. I saw a lot of potential in you, and thus I thought I could give you my love. I even shared with you my power, my wealth, and my fa."
Ara's face was flickering as cold sweat trickled down her back.
"But…" vron's voice beca colder as he turned around and continued with his eyes bloodshot, "...what did you give in return? You not only let so man steal the prized treasure that I had worked hard for so many years to obtain, but you also let a man enter you. And do you know what the worst part is? You seed to enjoy it so much."
Ara's lips were erratically trembling as she was shocked that vron sohow found out the truth despite all her efforts to hide it. Still, she tried to salvage this situation as she spoke in an incoherent voice, "D-Dear…please…it was—"
*THWAP!*
"Shut your trap, you whore!" vron's shout followed a thunderous sound of Ara getting slapped by vron, making her fall onto the floor.
