Beautiful Villaines
Chapter 6. I Must Have It

A thin and tall walled building with a wooden signpost that reads ‘The Casino Royal’ has now been in front of Liora and Anne. Seen most of the population downstream-mudik enter the gambling place as well as a place of entertainment that is quite famous.

Not only were ordinary people free to enjoy the place, but some nobles secretly also often entered it. Well, even though not a few of them are trying to disguise themselves and hide their identity because they do not want to give disgrace to their big family names.

Just like Liora did at the moment!

With a black robe covering a luxurious body-wrapped dress as well as a cape head covering part of the face and beautiful reddish blonde hair, now Liora's disguise has been perfect.

Previously, Liora had given the order to Anne to carry the black robe that would be used as a disguise. He did not want anyone to know him and complained to Duke while playing around in the casino.

Not only that! Liora also told Anne to trick the knights into not following her. Anne reasoned that Liora wanted to try on some clothes in the boutique dressing room, but actually ran away.

Yes, the various ways Liora does to do her mission, namely .. handsome pia hunting!

And now, the beautiful girl wrapped in black robes is walking through the wooden door ‘The Casino Royal.’

The first sight to be had were some medium-sized round tables with wooden chairs and had been filled with many people having fun while drinking beer.

Liora continued to circulate her gaze with an enthusiastic and careful face. It was very different from Anne who circulated her gaze with a face of fear and anxiety. The waiter shuddered in horror as he looked at the several large-bodied men who were sitting while joking.

“Actually what do you want to do in a place like this, Lady? What if we just go back?" Anne couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take Liora away.

Liora swooped next to the eyebrows, "Even we still haven't started it yet, Anne. I have to find her."

“Find what?” anne asked puzzledly, “there is nothing here other than those horrible men, Lady,”.

Liora was silent for a moment. His head came back and he thought that what Anne had just said was true. The men around him were only squid-faced. Some of them are sturdy such as bodybuilders, short-bodied, black, curly-haired, crooked-nosed, and yellow-toothed due to tobacco.

It turned out that looking for a handsome man was not as easy as Liora had imagined. Like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“Hm, true also.” Liora muttered lowly and made Anne shine brightly.

“Really, ‘kan? What if now we're back soon, Lady?” take Anne with enthusiasm.

“Emh, but since it's already here, then we should have fun first, Anne.” Liora's gaze turned to an elongated table that had been surrounded by people playing cards.

Anne followed Liora's gaze followed by her perfectly rounded eyeballs. The bad feeling that he had previously felt was now coming back. “Do not say if you want to join them?”

Liora published a smirk, “Sorry, because I have to say it, Anne. I really want to join them, hohoho.” Liora swiftly pulled on Anne's wrist still with a fluffy smile on her lips. "Quick! I'll make sure we get a lot of money."

“Oh, Ladyyyyy ..” Anne felt weak instantly even though she could only resign.

Liora threw her butt in the empty seat with Anne sitting next to her. After sitting sweetly, Liora saw a curly-haired middle-aged man like a spring who was acting like a bookie in a game. His name is Derek.

While at the table, there were two people playing, a thin golden-haired blonde man against a black-robed man sitting opposite each other.

The skinny man suddenly growled in frustration at losing the game. While the black-robed man who won the game just looked a little bit attractive the corner of the lips and enjoyed a sucked up cigar. The man's expression and face were not clearly visible as it was covered by the black robe he was wearing.

“Alright, does anyone want to play again?” Derek stood up and raised his voice.

Silent. No one answered. Some of the people at the table were just throwing glances at each other as if no one else wanted to play. They seemed to be afraid of being defeated by the black-robed man.

“I want to play!” Suddenly the loud voice of a girl was heard until the center of attention was immediately fixed on her.

Well, of course you already know who the master of the voice is. It was Liora's voice as well as Roxana's.

"Alright, Miss. Do you want to introduce yourself first?”

Liora was a little surprised. Do the rules in the game really have to introduce yourself first? Then what use is the disguise he did? She did not want her identity as the daughter of Duke Shancez's nobility to be known to people.

“No. I don't want to introduce myself because I'm a little shy.”

“Good. You're gonna play with him." Derek turned his gaze to the black-robed man who had previously won the game, "He is Axe.”

Axe's? As Liora recalls, there is no name in the film ‘The Villain’s Dead’ he starred in. Hm, that man is just an insignificant person whose name is not even on the list of figureheads. Yes, that's what Liora thought.

Rising, Liora now moves in the chair belonging to the skinny man who previously lost the game accompanied by Anne who stands behind her to provide support.

Now, Liora and Axe sit facing each other and are ready to start the game.

"Can we start now?" Derek looked at Liora and Axe in turn.

Liora nodded steadily. While Axe just sucked the cigar trunk and then exhaled the smoke forward slowly, right to Liora who sat in front.

Forehead Liora instantly wrinkled faintly, ‘No manners! That guy is so proud!’

“Spirit, Lady! You must have won! Comeing! Excitement!” Anne was brightly glowing with an enthusiastic face. He also clenched one hand full of determination.

Liora gave a rough breath, “Where did the girl who was so scared go when I walked here?”

Anne simply grinned the horse and continued to give spirit to Liora. It seemed that the maid was beginning to feel her own euphoria and excitement.

Now, two stacks of orange-colored chip coins or commonly referred to as pumpkins that are worth one coin equivalent to one piece of gold coins, are presented on the table. Each of them was right in front of Liora and Axe.

Liora started peeking at the cards obtained; the King of Spades and the King of Hearts.

Derek then opens the three cards previously presented on the table; King Kinky, As Heart, and As Wajik.

Liora silently glanced at Axe to see the man's expression. He wanted to guess what card he got from his expression stroke. Disappointed or just looking happy? However, it was useless because his face was covered by the head covering of the black robe.

Axe suddenly beckoned to raise the bet to ten stacks of orange-colored chip coins. While Liora suddenly clucked upset because she could guess what card the man got. Of course Axe got a good card for daring to raise the stakes.

And it turns out .. Liora's guess is right!

"Four of a kind!" Derek raised his voice when he saw the four Aces and one King card obtained by Axe.

The first session was won by Axe. All the stacks of coin chips that were worth dozens of gold coins had become his.

Liora let out a long sigh until the game resumed.

The second session ended with the same result. Axe became the winner.

The third session follows and still gets the same winner.

The fourth session followed and again and again made Axe the winner.

Now, the mysterious black-robed man was feeling above the clouds for a landslide victory.

Liora continuously lost and could only bite her lower lip. Her emerald Netra looked at her lost pile of gold coins. More precisely, the coins belonged to Duke Shancez.

In fact, the girl had boasted to Anne by saying it would bring a lot of money. Is behind his defeat a wisdom that can be learned if we should not boast?

"You're losing." Axe low-pitched while sucking the cigar stem decorated with a flat face.

Liora was stunned for a moment when she first heard the black-robed man's voice. The voice sounded so deep, a little hoarse, and sexy. Although his voice was pleasant to hear and so polite to the ears, but to Liora he was a haughty and annoying man.

“Yes, anyone knows if I lose. Why should it be clarified again?” Liora sneered in annoyance and instead answered the sewot.

“Ck!” The man just clucked while scooping all the gold coins he managed to get.

“Let's play again!” Liora suddenly triggered with a serious face even though everyone who was previously at the table had already left. They thought the game was over because Axe had already inserted all his coins.

“I don't have any more time for you.” The man replied in a flat tone.

Liora frowned, “Bobbish base! Are you afraid that I will defeat you?”

“….”

There was silence for a moment.

Without anyone knowing, the black-robed man smirked instead, “I just don't want to deal with a lousy noble Miss like you,” she replied then waltzed away just like that.

Liora froze in place. He felt that his blood flow crawled up to his face until his face turned red and boiling. From the beginning, he was provoked.

“Nona nobleman? Where did that fucking guy know that, heh?” Liora suddenly stood up and prepared to take a step.

However, Anne swiftly stopped Liora's steps, “Where do you want to go, Lady?”

"I'll follow him.”

“A-what? Can't you not go? We better go home, Lady!”

“Can't! My pride is hurt! He can't just beat me!” Liora left Anne who was swallowed in panic when left alone. Unfortunately, the fate of the servant.

\~\~\~

Liora continued walking until she had unknowingly reached a vast expanse of grass and was located beside the lake. The step up from the tall posture of the man, made Liora quite difficult to chase after him from behind.

Stopping the move, Liora now circulated a glance. Only the grass flowers are swept by the wind and soaring high. Quiet lake water where there are swan groups swimming.

“Ugh! Where the hell's he going? Why suddenly disappear? Is he a demon?” Liora monologues still with her head around.

“Are you looking for me?" Suddenly there was a heavy and sexy voice that was so shocking from behind Liora.

Liora suddenly gasped and quickly looked back. However, it seems that he must accept an unavoidable tragedy. There was a large enough rock just behind his feet to make him fall backwards.

Not wanting to fall alone, Liora instead pulled the collar of the man robe before her. Malang cannot be rejected and luck cannot be achieved. The man fell down on Liora's body.

Not just get there! The black cloak head covering that the mysterious man was wearing came off. The head covering that Liora was wearing was also removed. Now, both of them have shown their true nature.

Liora blinked her eyelids that were shaded by lentic eyelashes while looking at the carved face of a man who was so handsome and firm as the sun, the thin lips of redness that gave a bright color on his pale skin, blue-blue saphire beads that sparkle like constellations, and jet-black hair that is swept by the wind.

Under the chest of the male field, Liora screamed inwardly, ‘Yes! His looks are so disrespectful! The man ... I must have it!’
