L A 13 - Traitor
The destruction of the Shardpterans Guild made the balance of power of the group of magicians in the Floral Kingdom unstable. You could say the Floral Kingdom was the smallest Kingdom of the three Kingdoms that existed in the Carta Continent. With a ruler like Marcus Floral, meddling from other Kingdoms certainly had easy access.
Neptune's name became the subject of conversation for Marcus Floral with those closest to him. One of the people who advised Marcus Floral on all matters and took care of the development of the Kingdom was Minister Chano.
Minister Chano proposes to King Marcus Floral to accept King Avalon's proposal, John Flamingo, to form a group of criminal hunters called the Ghost Hunter.
Help did not come from the Kingdom of Avalon alone but the largest Kingdom in the Continent of the Carta, the Kingdom of Soul also sent their witches to destroy Neptune.
At the same time Neptune was meeting somewhere. With the arrival of Jadon Shard and Clara Rochefort, Neptune introduces their new member who is none other than Leo.
But before meeting Jadon and Clara, Leo asks Charlotte, Lyon and Nereid to call him Ghost.
“So your name is Ghost huh? Thanks to you now we are the target of people.” Jadon said as he stared intently at Leo who did not want to show his face.
“This is exactly good news for us. We can start our plan sooner to stage a coup.” Clara responded.
“Before that I have something to ask you Lyon.” This time Jadon looked at Lyon.
“What did you kill that man for?” ask Jadon.
“I... Yes-”
“I killed him.” Leo cut off Lyon's words.
Instantly the atmosphere became silent as Jadon stared at Leo much colder. Knowing Jadon like not liking the joining of Leo makes Charlotte calm Jadon.
And the meeting that night produced nothing when Jadon openly did not welcome Leo. On the same side Leo did not care and decided to get out of Neptune.
“Leo, can you think back? I promised you'd meet the conditions you applied for and you haven't said the last condition you meant!” Charlotte wants to prevent Leo from leaving.
“Currently, Leo. We can't back down after all this.” Lyon also prevented Leo's departure, but Leo insisted.
“Charlotte, you don't need to qualify anything. Let's just say we never met, neither did you Lyon.” Leo answered both words.
“Something you do is not a game. I don't like people who are half-assed to do something.” Leo added.
“Let him go, Princess. We have to solve our own problems.” Nereid ignores Leo's departure and has no intention of preventing him from being with Charlotte and Lyon.
The next day a shocking news was heard in the Floral Kingdom. The massacre of the Fish Family who were accused of plotting a coup against the Floral Family became a heated discussion.
A day later, news of Jadon's death broke in the hands of Charlotte Floral. Neptune's hidden identity is revealed, be it Jadon Shard, Charlotte Floral, Nereid Fish, Lyon Shard and Ghost who are none other than Leo.
Leo who heard this news did not expect the death of Jadon. Everyone related to the Neptune members were killed even Miranda was also among the assassination targets along with Carlos who took her away to escape.
“This is getting interesting.” Leo clenched his hands and rushed to meet the Neptune members.
But on the way to the Floral Capital, Leo gets something unexpected. He never expected to see Charlotte being hunted by Nereid.
“How dare you betray me Princess! So this is why you invited us to join?! You just want to eliminate any kind of threat to the Floral family!” Nereid looked at Charlotte hatefully and began to release his magic aura.
As the mist slowly emerges, Leo appears before Charlotte and takes the girl away as quickly as possible. Nereid is unable to keep up with Leo's movements and gets caught up in his own illusions.
“Leo..” Charlotte is shocked because Leo is the one who saved her.
Then Leo looked into Charlotte's teary eyes before she dropped the girl as Charlotte was about to hug herself tightly.
“Kya!”
“Leo! You!” Charlotte looked at Leo.
“Explain to me what happened Charlotte,” Leo said.
“There is nothing to explain Leo. Clara and Lyon told me that you were the mastermind behind all this. Meanwhile Nereid accidentally sees me meeting my father and he thinks I'm the mastermind Charlotte tells Leo that she does not fully trust Leo.
“You don't believe me but you say honestly.” Leo responded.
“After all this I realized what I had done Leo! I wanted to avenge my mother and save a lot of people but I realized... I don't have a big determination!” Charlotte suddenly cries and hugs Leo.
Leo stared flatly at Charlotte as if showing no sympathy at all. But in his old life Leo who became the most despicable criminal is a beautiful man who is cold and has not counted women who queue to wade the night with him.
“For now spill all your emotions. After that take the attitude to determine your next goal.” Leo said in a calm tone while stroking Charlotte's head.
