The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 14 The Death of Isabella

As their distance gets closer, Callix is finally unable to resist the temptation of Isabella's beautiful face. He closed his eyes waiting for a friendly kiss from Isabella.

But after closing his eyes for a long time, Callix did not feel anything because he immediately opened his eyes. And what did he see? he saw Isabella had returned to her seat holding back a laugh, which made Callix both embarrassed and upset.

"Is it funny for you to play with someone like that?" pissed Callix.

Isabella's laughter broke in an instant, after she was content to laugh Isabella asked, "Who plays others? me? where is it possible."

"You come close to me until our distance is thin and then when I close your eyes you move away, if not play tricks on others then what's the name?"

"It looks like there's a misunderstanding here. I approach you not to play you, after all it is possible to approach someone else is called toying. I approached you to let go of your chains, what do you think for? or don't you think I approached you to give you a kiss, really? if it's true then you're a very pervert."

"I-I don't think about that, you-you don't overdo it. Hmphh!" Callix turned her gaze away from Isabella.

After a few hours they finally arrived at Isabella's residence. But the only thing that came down was Callix, Isabella just gave him the keys to the house and he asked the coachman to run the train again.

Callix wanted to ask where Isabella went just that she still felt embarrassed, even to stare at Isabella's face alone she couldn't.

Isabella went to the inn where she left Audrey and Jasper. Upon seeing Isabella's face, all the inn servants looked at her with a look of disdain. They did not take their eyes off Isabella who continued to step towards Audrey's room.

"Go from here, you pervert!" audrey's screams in the process, a man appears to have been blown from Audrey's room.

Spontaneous Isabella immediately ran past the stranger and into Audrey's room. Seeing Isabella coming, Audrey immediately got up from the bed and hugged her.

Seeing Audrey's messy state of anger Isabella, she believes that the stranger is Aretha's man to harass Audrey again.

"He harassed me" Audrey said.

The stranger woke up and looked at Audrey with teary eyes, "I just want to change your clothes as usual. What's my fault this time when you've never been like this before?"

Isabella frowned then looked at Audrey, "Do you have a relationship with her?"

"Are you crazy? I wouldn't have kicked him if he had a relationship with me" Audrey explained.

"I'm .. I'm Jasper" said the man sobbing.

Isabella and Audrey are surprised not to hear it, the problem is that Jasper does not have the ears and tail of animals like other adult suni.

Audrey let out a heavy sigh and then she approached Jasper. Asking, "Why didn't you say it in the first place? are you in pain? I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too. I thought you'd recognize me" replied Jasper.

Audrey leads Jasper to sit on the bed, and he treats all the wounds on Jasper's body. Meanwhile, Isabella had to spend more money to compensate the lodging losses, 1000 gold coins for the door and 1500 gold coins because it had disturbed the peace of the other residents.

Isabella just nodded, then she sat on the edge of the bed looking at Jasper who seemed silly because he was wearing Audrey clothes that did not match her size.

"Why did you just come now? I've been waiting for you for a month. Or do you want me to come to your house alone? then what's with your leg?"  Audrey asked Isabella so many questions.

"Who told you I was going to pick you up? I came to take Jasper. If it's for you, you think of it yourself because I bought you not as my slave. Then for my feet it just sprained when looking for herbs in the forest" said Isabella. Losing a lot of energy and money made Isabella's mood deteriorate.

"So after asking the strange man to buy me, you want to dump me? where else can I go? I tried to go to your house. But the madam was there, I was afraid to see her so I didn't go all the way to your house. I keep pretending to be sick while waiting for you or that guy to come again so please take me with you. I beg. As your servant I have no problem. Please." Audrey knelt down pleading with Isabella.

Isabella doesn't want to be involved with Audrey anymore. But seeing how desperate Audrey was at the moment to have Isabella's conscience hurt, she had no choice but to take Audrey with her. After all Isabella feels that Audrey's presence will help Callix.

After all the problems were successfully dealt with Isabella asked Audrey to tidy up all her belongings, Isabella decided to immediately get out of the inn and take Audrey along with Jasper home.

*****

Callix is shocked to see Isabella bringing home 2 men with her. At first Callix and Audrey are furious at him, but their anger subsides instantly as Isabella explains everything. The two also agree to open a cake shop along with Isabella as the store master, Isabella does not forget to give a lot of cake recipes that she knows from her previous life. That way their cake shop would become a cake shop that was quickly famous for their type of cake there was only one in the Irsyad Empire.

While Callix and Audrey try to make a cake from Isabella's new recipe, Isabella herself just sits down to unwind that had haunted her body.

"You're Mr Allred, right?" jasper's question made Isabella surprised, lucky that Jasper asked in a small voice.

"What are you talking about? Allred's my brother, he just left you for a minute with me so …."

"lik! all this time you've been posing as a man, I know. The way you walk, talk, and even smell your body is exactly the same as Mr. Allred. The difference is that there is no magic smell from you at this time because when you become Mr. Allred you are disguised with a magic ring," cut Jasper. He explained everything he knew about Isabella.

Isabella laughed softly and hugged Japser, saying, "Jasper is smart. But this is our secret, okay?"

Jasper nodded quickly, feeling that he had become Isabella's confidant because they had a great secret.

After a few days passed the official Isabella cake shop was opened, although from the first day to the next 7 days there were no visitors. But after that visitors began to arrive one by one, they came because they were interested in the good looks of 3 men who became the waitress of Isabella store.

Because the state of the bakery began to be good, after Isabella's legs healed she told Jasper if she should return to her job. Jasper agrees and teaming up with Isabella to take care of the store with Audrey and Callix, the two of whom have been actively learning to fight with Jasper for the last few days. 

When the day Isabella was about to leave, she said goodbye to the three. Isabella doesn't say when she's going home just saying she won't be back for a long time, so she's going to hand the store over to the three of them. 

With the weight of his heart the three let go of Isabella who somehow will meet again with them, they just hope he returns safely one day.
