The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 58 The Truth that Cedric got.

"Simple or not it can not be decided by your duchess," interrupted Albert, "You yourself heard what the evil woman said, a small wound on Vanessa's forehead could be a severe one if she wanted to. He even threatened the duke before all of us, if you love him then you should give him a punishment so that he wouldn't dare have bad intentions in his heart for Vanessa."

"It's a matter of our family, the crown prince. I know you're Vanessa's fiance so you're on her side, if Isabella is Vanessa you'll probably stick with Vanessa. Someone who has been blinded by love cannot tell which is right and which is wrong" Elena replied.

"How dare you …." Albert clenched his hands together until his fingernails turned white.

"Enough! I want to take a break, just forget what happened today." Vanessa turns around and walks away from them, Elena's words make her realize that this charade must end before Isabella makes it worse.

Everyone immediately disbanded right then and there, Cedric went with Albert following Vanessa. While Elena and the twins returned to their room, Isabella now lives in front of the door of her room.

"Your lady ..." The two servants of Isabella were surprised to see Isabella's face swell. 

"Get out!" isabella's orders to both. They are reluctant to come out, only the look on Isabella's face looks so bad that it scares them.

As soon as the two servants came out of the room, Selina who was on top of the closet immediately descended and turned into a human form. She had been crying since then and it was visible from her swollen eyes.

"You …." Isabella just wanted to talk. However, Selina shut her mouth.

"Let's go! just leave this residence, because it's useless for you to survive here. You were hurt, suffered, neglected, and hurt. What's in it for you to be here? they're not your family and they're still not, '" Selina said.

Isabella lowered Selina's hand gently. He was happy because Selina cared so much for him, "You're right they're not my family, want to be up to any time it still isn't. But they're a family of this body, and now this body is mine so I don't want myself or this body to end miserably. There's a destiny I want to change."

"But …."

"I know you're very concerned about me, but Selina please give me strength like you always do for me. Don't ask me to give up on this life, you believe me, right?"

Selina with a sullen expression hit Isabella softly and hugged her, "I've always believed in you."

Isabella reciprocates Selina's warm embrace and after that while waiting for their sleeping hours they exchange stories, sometimes they laugh happily.

It does not feel that time has passed quickly now that 3 months have passed, during these 3 months many things have happened. Sometimes Vanessa comes along whining to have their skit stopped. But thanks to Isabella who always convinced Vanessa, the play continues to this day. 

There have been countless injuries that Isabella has experienced over the past 3 months. But he seemed stupid, rather than showing his kindness directly he chose a difficult path that would only incur many wounds in his heart. 

"The news in the newspaper this morning was great. Have a look!" Selina gave the newspaper to Isabella.

Isabella took it and read the hot news that was published today, "I had expected duke Arsena would call off the engagement to Regina, the poor arrogant girl."

"Do you know that guy?" ask Selina.

"I'll tell you later while eating cake in the shop" replied Isabella. Selina rubbed her drool that was dripping because of the word cake.

Brakes

Vanessa opened the door and jumped into Isabella's arms, shouting, "Sister."

Isabella caught Vanessa's body well, "Good morning Vanessa, where are you going?"

"Why ask? does my sister want to come? hmphs. Brother always refuses to go with me."

"Hahahah, we'll go together."

"Later? by when? 10 More years?"

"Eitherway. But, try not to go that long."

"You have to go with dad so I can't come. Anyway, if you want to go out with me, it's much safer" replied Isabella, stroking Vanessa's hair.

"Where's Vanessa? he said he had to hurry. The boy was really strange," Cedric smiled as he recalled Vanessa's enthusiasm just a moment ago.

"But I want to go with big brother, we'll be able to play a show so we can ride the same train."

Cedric stopped his steps to turn towards Vanessa's room, hearing Vanessa's voice coming from Isabella's room.

Out of curiosity Cedric walked slowly into Isabella's room, where he saw Isabella's door slightly open.

"This time obey and go with dad. I'd be disappointed if you didn't go with him, would you want me to be disappointed and hate my sister more?"  the soft tone of Isabella's words made Cedric flinch, because the problem is Isabella who he knows always uses high tones anytime and anywhere.

"Of course I don't want to. Brother used father again as an excuse not to go with me, I hate sister," whined Vanessa.

"Later coming home from the emperor's palace is just you, right? what if tomorrow we go to sister's cake shop again? that's a good time to go because dad's not around. My sister won't be home tonight either. But, take it easy because tomorrow it's your own brother who's going to pick you up."" 

"alright. See you tomorrow morning." Vanessa peeped Isabella's forehead making Isabella laugh amusedly, she always felt that Vanessa's effect was very real.

Cedirc's legs suddenly limp after hearing the conversation of his two daughters, he would not have thought if all this time Isabella was a soft girl, especially on Vanessa. With a limp step Cedric walked down the stairs towards the horse carriage that had been waiting for them

"Son wasn't that bad dad. I beg you to trust me, my brother's heart is very soft and he is also loving" Vanessa said.

"Miss Isabella isn't what you're rumored or thinking. Once you see the lady from a different point of view, then you will see the real figure of the lady" said Jeremy.

"Miss Isabella is often making a scene. But the lady never hurt the waiters, there were even a lot of waiters who liked the lady" Viola said.

"Miss tastes very good. I find it hard to believe that a bad person is very good at cooking" said Abraham's main chef.

Cedric did not understand why he could not realize the original attitude of his own daughter, he ignored so many truths by being selfish and holding on to his own thoughts.

"What should I do? I'm sorry Penelope," the inner Cedric who keeps thinking about his stupidity.

Not long after Vanessa got into the train, Cedric pretended to look calm in front of Vanessa so that his beloved daughter was not worried. It felt too hard for Cedric.

"You see that, brother? he ran happily up the train and left with my father. I'm really upset with her" Charlotte growled at Vanessa.

"Do you think you're the only one who's upset? I'm upset too. Mother even ignored us and went to the empress' tea party without inviting us," Carolina replied.

"What if we make a calculation with him?" 

"You're crazy. The last time we gave the boy a lesson, he replied to us with 10 times as much pain as we could not get out of the room for 2 weeks. What's even more annoying is that big sister used the excuse that only she could bully Vanessa to hit us. Do you want to get sick again?"

"Stupid! dad, mom, and brother are not coming home tonight. So this is our chance to teach him a lesson, without evidence and witnesses even dad could what on us? we're still in a healing period, so our position will be safe."

"You're great Charlotte. I'll make a good plan" Carolina said. He quickly ran into their room.

"I will repay what you did. Who told you to disobey and start showing us your claws" Charlotte couldn't wait for nightfall.
