The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 31 The bitter truth for Luca.

The news that Duke Abraham was going to propose to a Baroness spread throughout the empire, and Vanessa herself was shocked by the news. But he did not oppose his father's wishes, even Vanessa who took care of all the necessities for Cedric's wedding.

It was a pity that the news did not reach Isabella's ears. If Isabella knew then she would be confused because the original plot of the novel is not told if the duke will marry again.

After tomorrow comes, Isabella and Bara go to see Sean one last time before the two go home.

"This is your pay! thanks for the hard work" Sean told Bara and Isabella. They completed their mission well.

"There's no need to thank us for just doing what we should, after all we get a wage" Isabella replied playing a pocket full of money.

Tok tok tok tok

"Dad, it's Zelene." Zelene knocked on the door from the outside.

"Why knock on the door? usually you go straight in, since when do you have manners?" ketus Sean's. Something was wrong with Zelene.

Zelene opened the door, then with a smiling face she replied, "What is this father talking about? Zelene always does the same thing every time she comes."

"Eh! Mr. Allred is also here, sorry that I was not aware of your whereabouts" Zelene said, though he came to Sean's workspace because he knew there was Allred here.

"It's okay, miss. Coincidentally you are here, I would also like to thank you for taking care of me during my fainting. Your kindness I will remember forever" replied Isabella. He smiled sweetly at Zelene making the girl's face blush in embarrassment.

"Are you going home now? no intention to stay for a few days first, it just so happens to be here soon there is a harvest festival," said Zelene misbehaved.

"I want to stay longer unfortunately, I have to come back soon. My family must be waiting at home, they must miss me."

"Family? so you have to go back now?"

"Yes my family. I have to go back now" replied Isabella.

"I say goodbye, Earl Sean. Good bye." Isabella and Bara bow respectfully and pass away leaving Sean's study.

Zelene clenched her hands together, she felt a great pain as she knew that a man of understanding like Isabella had a family. He wanted to eliminate the family that Isabella mentioned, for Zelene if she wanted something then she had to get it.

"Kenapa kau datang menemuiku?" tanya Sean kepada Zelene.

"Shut up!" zelene. "I didn't come for you so don't think too much. Better give me Allred's address, I want to see him."

"can't. If you ask for something then the answer is only one and it must be a bad thing."

"When did I give you permission to refuse what you want? this is a command not a request so give it, or do you want me to get Luca further away from you?"

"When did you use Luca to threaten me, huh? wake up and change while there's still time, or you'll regret this."

Meanwhile Luca comes out of his room because Zelene doesn't come to see him, but last night Zelene just sent a waiter to give him a warm cup of tea that Zelene had given her a potion to manipulate. But unfortunately Luca did not drink the tea anymore because Zelene did not bring it for him, and now he's going to go see Sean to get Sean to kick Isabella out as soon as possible because Isabella has stolen all Zelene's attention.

"All right! I'll give you Allred's address. But on one condition, do not add a dose of the drug or hurt him. That way everything you want I'll give you" Sean said

"Hahahaha, you have no right to negotiate with me. I'll see where your hard work is and if I'm satisfied with it then I'll grant your wish, so work hard to satisfy me."

"You're ruthless! very cruel Zelene."

"Don't overdo it dad, you made me look like a criminal. As long as you obey me just like that stupid Luca then everything will be fine for all of us. At least I don't need manipulation drugs to be as obedient as Luca."

"You're outrageous …."

"Sister." Luca's shout made Sean and Zelene surprised, "What is this? all this time brother always said bad to brother was dad, and now why even the bad brother to dad? has your brother been lying to me all this time?"

"You …." Zelene walked over to Luca and slapped the little man in the face, "Who gave you permission to leave the room, huh? do you not want to obey brother anymore? have you forgotten who's been giving you love all this time? did you forget until you dared to yell at me, huh?" 

"Sister has always been kind to me and I've always obeyed him because of that, but it turns out that all of his kindness is fake. Brother controls me like a puppet using a dangerous drug, where does brother mix the medicine? my food? or tea?"

"Yes, on your tea. Don't you like this tea your brother made? "

"So big wrong. I no longer drank the tea made by my sister, because my consciousness had returned so I always threw away the tea made by my sister. At first I drank the tea because my brother gave it to me, but the last few months I always threw away the tea because it wasn't my brother who brought it to me. Thank goodness my decision was right."

"Close your mouth! and come with me!" Zelene pulled Luca by force to come with her.

"Don't ba …." 

"Shut up! and don't interfere or I'll take your son away" Zelene threatened to make Sean unable to do anything.

*****

Isabella did not let go of her disguise for several days, with the identity of Allred she also stayed at her own residence. Not to forget he gave Ainsley with Fil the punishment and the punishment was to be a shopkeeper.

Isabella also enjoyed her days peacefully and relaxing in her residence without doing anything, she felt she had no energy to carry out the mission even though it had been a month since the mission to escort Luca.

"Mr Allred, there's a titan coming looking for you along with a woman named Yuna" Audrey said. He came all the way from the store to the residence just to convey that.

"Titanos? what is Bara? but what's he here for?" isabella. He still refused to leave his rocking chair. But he couldn't make Yuna wait any longer, so why did the titan man have to come with Yuna thought Isabella.
