The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 24 The unrecognized princess

After dinner, Callix asked everyone to gather in the living room. No exception to Isabella. Callix was excited when everyone had gathered.

"What's up now? hurry up and tell me to get some rest faster" Audrey grumbled.

Without waiting long Callix pulled out a map as well as a store finance book, "Alright. We'll start the conversation about opening our second cake shop branch in the next village."

Audrey smiled happily as Callix finally shared this good news in front of Isabella, "That's good news."

The surprised Spontane Isabella immediately looked at Callix and Audrey with a sharp gaze, "You guys have planned something this big without telling me first? do you think I'd agree?"

"Of course you'll agree. This is good news, the opening of this second cake shop proves that your store is a great success. It's an amazing achievement, after all it's a surprise for you" Callix replied.

"Yes, that's right. Because of the attack this morning, you look moody and that worries us. Callix's decision to say that right now is the best, because you're sure to be happy" Audrey added.

"There is no opening of a new branch, it will never even exist. It's not good news, and I don't agree" Isabella said. Isabella's reaction this time was beyond their expectations, she had never been this firm before.

"What do you mean say that? what's wrong with opening a new store?" ask Callix. He was very disappointed with Isabella's reply.

"We will move out of this village soon. So do not do anything in vain" replied Isabella.

"Moved you say? butwhy? I don't want to come with you if you dare to move," argued Callix who contained a slight threat.

Isabella threw a cold stare at him making Callix's guts shrivel, "This place is no longer safe for us. The person who attacked me this morning will definitely come back later, so we must leave this village as soon as possible."

"It's too sudden, I find it hard to think. But your words are true, it's not safe here anymore. Today you were attacked, and maybe even we were hit. If that's the best, then I agree to move on and start all over again" Audrey said.

"I also agree. I'll go wherever you want" Jasper said.

"I know, that man must be Duke Abraham's messenger to look for me. It doesn't matter what the purpose is because whatever it is, I still don't want to get involved with the main cast. Vanessa would be happier without Isabella, and I would be safe from a tragic death if I didn't get involved with them. The core part of the novel is about to begin, I have to move out of this place before Duke Abraham's knight pickup time arrives. If it is calculated from today then I only have 6 months until the duke arrives so I have to rush to collect more money," inner Isabella. He planned everything carefully.

"I'm sorry for everything. But I just want to live safely and comfortably with you guys, and I promise when we move in, I'll agree if you guys want to open a branch again, let alone a second one, even if you want to open up to a thousand branches I'll agree" Isabella said.

"I'm sorry. I acted selfishly towards you when you thought so much about us. Let's move on and live together forever." Callix hugs Isabella followed by Jasper and Audrey.

"Miss always thinks of others. Whereas if he wanted to he could go alone and leave us, but he still wanted to take us with him so that we were safe, too" Jasper smiled happily.

Bruaks!

Brak!

Prangs!

Cedric ruffled his entire study after seeing the results of a blood test between him and Isabella, he was shocked to the point of not being able to control his anger.

"Do I have to take that rotten girl to my house? to residence? if she were here, then my Vanessa. What do the nobles say about Vanessa after my daughter comes?" ask Jeremy Cedric. Jeremy was silent.

Prangs!

Vanessa, who had just walked into Cedric's study, unwittingly dropped a tray containing 2 cups of tea that she was carrying. He was shocked when he heard Cedric say about his daughter.

"Vanessa, you …." Cedric walked over to Vanessa, the middle-aged man clasping his daughter's trembling hands tightly and saying, "Don't be afraid. I won't ignore you, throw you out, or throw you out. Isabella's whereabouts won't affect your father's relationship with you, you should remember that your father only had one daughter and that's you. I'll only love Vanessa one."

"Vanessa doesn't want to be a selfish daughter. All this time Isabella lived far away from her father, and we know how she's been up to this point. Maybe all this time he was suffering out there while Vanessa was happy here, unknowingly Vanessa had snatched away all her happiness. Vanessa is cruel and unworthy of all your affection, pardon Vanessa, father." Vanessa takes her hand off Cedric's, then runs away from Cedric's study.

"Damn it!" Cedric hit the wall until the wall marked cracked, the blow was too strong to hurt his own hand.

"Stop the investigation on Isabella, and never mention that name. A name that would make Vanessa sad, not worth mentioning at all," Cedric orders as he moves out of the workspace to pursue Vanessa.

"Poor Miss Isabella," Jeremy's heart. He felt sorry for Isabella.

*****

The next day Isabella left her residence before the other occupants woke up, not forgetting she left a small note saying she was going out hunting to collect more money.

Meanwhile on the other hand Phil and Aisnley sat how a soulless body in a place not far from the Rabbit Guild, for them waiting for Isabella's arrival was extremely draining.

"This time there is no hope at all, I want to give up and go home," said Fil who managed to get a hard blow from Aisnley.

"Where did your pride yesterday say if you knew Allred first, cih! just waiting 2 days you've given up" Aisnley sneered.

"Anyone will give up if for 2 days can not rest well, even sleep at night on the roof of this house. Even though the night guild is closed, but you don't want to leave this place and keep an eye on the guild. Why rent an inn if you do not occupy it" grumbled Fil.

"Allred is always full of surprises. It can disappear and appear at any time, so we should not let our guard down even if it's just seben …."

"Good morning, Mr. March." Isabella's voice greeting March made Aisnley's speech come to a halt, both of them hurriedly looking down to make sure it was really Isabella or not and the result turned out to be correct. It was Isabella.

"Mr Allred."

"Allred's."

Both felt very grateful, finally their long wait all this time produced extraordinary results.
