The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 53 Elena and her poison powder.

Charlotte takes her revenge on Isabella by complaining about everything that happened in the gazebo to Cedric, hearing that the flames of anger in Cedric's heart were boiling. 

He asks Jeremy to buy a high-grade potion for Carolina, and then Cedric goes to find Isabella. Charlotte was very happy because in the end Isabella will be punished, unfortunately Isabella's sentence was too light, which was banned from the room for 7 full days.

"What kind of punishment is this mother? the punishment was not worth Carolina's suffering. The Duke said he didn't want to acknowledge Isabella as his daughter, but look! the Duke is still siding with her," Charlotte grumbled at Elena.

"The duke's attitude is not a sign of affection, the reason Isabella's punishment was light was because Jeremy and Vanessa defended Isabella. But I'm not just going to let Isabella go tomorrow when we go hunting and that's when I'm going to have a meeting with Isabella and Vanessa" she said.

"What do you really have a plan for? tomorrow's the crown prince coming with us, so we can't do anything to Vanessa plus Isabella is sneaky."

"Who said we'd do it? mom's gonna make our plan look like an accident so we're gonna be safe."

"How is it?"

Elena took out a small bag of poison powder that would make an ordinary animal a monster, "Mother will sprinkle this powder near the tent when hunting time arrives, then that way those two annoying women will be gone and after they're gone, then Duke Abraham's daughter is just the two of you and you'll be the duke's heir."

"It's a crazy way. But we don't have any other way, the sooner they don't the better." Charlotte's heart is pounding looking forward to tomorrow.

Hunting this time Isabella will not be invited by Cedric. But Elena still forced Isabella to come along for the success of her plan, because she did not want to argue again with Eleba in the end Cedric agreed Isabella to come along on condition that she took the train herself.

Isabella is actually lazy to come along. But he feels something is wrong with Elena's attitude, so he has no choice but to go along to keep Vanessa safe.

Arriving at the hunting site, the knights immediately set up a tent while the servants prepared a place to cook. Cedric, Jeremy and Albert were also busy cleaning their respective weapons. Seeing everyone busy, Elena forgave the opportunity to sprinkle poison powder around the tent.

"You this …." Selina smelled the powder, because Isabella was busy daydreaming so Selina decided to find out for herself where the strange smell came from.

Soon 5 knights along with Cedric, Jeremy, and Albert prepare to go hunting. Elena along with the twins also came along with the reason they wanted to go see the waterfall when they just wanted to survive the danger they made themselves. Albert invited Vanessa to come along too. But Vanessa refused, so she decided to stay in the camp and cook with the waiters.

"I'll bring you the biggest hunt" Albert kissed Vanessa's forehead in front of a crowd.

"Basic couples don't know a place," inner Isabella.

After they all left, Vanessa immediately preoccupied herself with the servants, while Isabella was trapped among 10 knights who wanted to interview her.

Not long after the poison powder began to react on the animals around the camp, there were 5 rabbits craze right at the cooking place making the servants scream in fear.

The knights on guard immediately rushed to the cooking place and slashed all the rabbits, unfortunately it was not over because the craze was not just rabbits. 

"You all stay away from the tent area!" isabella shouted to the servants and Vanessa.

The crazed little animals can still be handled until finally what comes is 3 bears at once, 2 The bear attacked from the cooking place and the knights managed to fend off their attacks.

"Kyaaa .. Miss Vanessa," shouted the servants as 1 crazed bear injured Vanessa.

The bear came from behind and attacked the servants. But the one who hit is Vanessa, lucky part of the body that was injured only the arm only.

"Run!" vanessa shouted to the servants as the bear was about to attack for the second time.

Vanessa was also about to run with the servants. Unfortunately Vanessa's sprained leg made her unable to stand, while the bear's hand swung towards her.

"No miss ..." cried the servants. They just wanted to escape. But they undo their intentions, and embrace Vanessa to protect her.

"Vanessa oh no!" inner Isabella. Spontaneously he quickly grabbed the spear nearby and concentrated all his strength onto it, after he felt that Isabella had enough power to quickly throw the spear into the bear's head.

"Yahoo!" the servants cried out hysterically as the spear pierced through the head of the bear right in front of them and its blood splashed against them.

"Sister! thank you," Vanessa's inner self shed a tear when she accidentally saw Isabella throw the spear, the servants were unaware of it because they were too focused on protecting Vanessa from the bear attack.

The bear attack was the last attack, as Selina managed to remove all of the powder.

After all that was over anyone who was injured immediately received treatment, while Isabella he went to his tent. He was shocked to see Vanessa almost gone, if only he was late then Vanessa's body could have been torn because of the bear's scratch.

Seeing Isabella's face turn pale, Selina turned into a human form and hugged her, "Are you okay?"

Isabella shook her head and replied, "Vanessa is almost gone while I'm quiet, if I'm a little late then …."

Isabella's body trembled and she couldn't continue her words anymore, the shadows about Martini's death scared her back.

"Calm down! Vanessa's fine, you saved her." Selina stroked Isabella's back to calm down.

"I'll go see Miss Isabella. No one cares about Miss Isabella, everyone is worried about Miss Vanessa," Inner Jeremy ran towards Isabella's tent.

"I'm still afraid of Selina, I failed to save the life of a person who meant so much to me because I realized it too late. I didn't want to move either because I was afraid Vanessa or the servants knew if I could use a weapon, then I would be in big trouble. But after seeing Vanessa's life threatened, I spontaneously took the spear, I don't know who realized I threw the spear" Isabella said.

"I'm not afraid that those who know it are the knights because they're on my side. I'm afraid Selina if the one who knows is the servants. But I'd rather lose Vanessa," continued Isabella tightened her embrace on Selina.

"Everyone has ever been afraid of me, so don't be afraid again and act like normal. We'll see Vanessa later" Selina replied with a nod by Isabella.

Jeremy who heard their conversation secretly peered into the tent and there he saw Selina hugging Isabella. But what makes Jeremy surprised is that Selina has horns on her head, and what she knows is the horned race is a dragon even though they managed to change into human form. However, they still could not disappear the horns.

Jeremy got out of Isabella's tent and kept thinking, "Who is that woman? miss called her Selina, that name was her lizard."

"Yes, the legendary dragon sunni race can change the shape of their limbs at will. Thank goodness there were also those who sided with the lady," Jeremy's inner self smiled happily.
