The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 97 Falling into the Sea

A moment ago.

"Albert, did you take the water and cut the firewood?" asked the leader of the ancestral hall as he saw Albert sitting down to rest.

"Yes, it's all done. What else do I have to do?" albert asked, he is enjoying his work at the moment.

"No need. But …." The hall master gave Albert the food box, "That tart to your father, this is my dumpling he really likes. Remember to come back before dinner or your dinner rations will be gone."

"Good." Albert receives the lunchbox and rushes away or he won't be able to have dinner.

The horse-drawn carriage drove at high speed towards the kingdom, living as an ordinary person made Albert feel much more enjoying his life.

Arriving at the emperor's palace, Albert went straight to the emperor's study.

"Yahanda. I brought you dumplings made by the leader of the ancestral hall," Albert said as he entered the emperor's study.

"ah! come in, we eat dumplings together, "let the emperor leave his job and sit on the couch.

"Sorry aya. I'll be with the others in the ancestral hall, eating together is so much fun" Albert gently refused.

The Emperor sighed at the dining box, "Since you went to your father's ancestral hall eating alone, it's not at all pleasant. What is the meaning of good food if you eat alone, if not Vanessa who comes to accompany your father is Charlize and Isabella. Isabella's portion of food is very much she is very impressive if eating. But it's fun, it's just 15 days without you making me so lonely."

"alright. Tonight I'll be with you, hopefully not in the law." Albert finally decided to stay and eat together, he could not bear to see the sad face of his father.

After dinner, Albert went straight home. But his intention to return was void, when he heard the conversation between Babylon and Samantha.

"I deliver you from the holy place, it's not just liberating. You have to do your job, blow up the ship so Charlize is gone and will never come back" Babel said.

"What the hell, eliminating that person is not a good thing. What if I do something to her?" bargain Samantha.

"Whatever it is as long as Charlize will never return in Isabella's life I agree, she's it's my biggest obstacle."

"Your Isabell is also my biggest obstacle to being with Charlize. It'd be nice if someone negated him."

"Don't be reckless. You can't think of that, remember who helped you get out of that sacred place."

"Well, I'm going to sneak in there to take Charlize instead of blowing up the ship" Samantha said.

Albert eventually sneaked onto the ship, hiding in a wooden box filled with clothes. He couldn't let anything bad happen to Charlize because of Samantha, this was also one of her faults.

"Ja-don't touch me." Charlize pushed Samantha with the rest of her power.

Unfortunately her strength was not enough, Samantha held Charlize's hand and then kissed her. Charlize felt strange from the kiss, she quickly pulled back her hand.

"Lay obediently so that you will not be in pain." Samantha encouraged Charlize to lie down comfortably.

"Me-distant you. Isabella, can't betray Isabella." Charlize tightly grasped the liotin Isabella gave her.

"You've been holding that liotin, you've never used anything like this before. Is this from Isabella?" samantha asked, she also touched the liotin.

"Let go! this is my Isabell." Charlize's consciousness faded, and she saw Samantha as if she were looking at Isabella.

"Curtain!" Samantha pulled the liotin from Charlize's neck and threw it on the floor.

The tube that became the pendant broke, hearing the sound Charlize looked at the pendant. Charlize's consciousness returned as Isabella's words filled her head again.

"That's a precious item, a pendant that there is only one in the world because it's homemade. I've never let go of it this long, so take good care of it."

"Yes, I'm a little bit starting to love you. Maybe from 1 to 10 values his feelings 2."

Charlize's consciousness returned completely and she pushed Samantha from above her, then she got out of bed and pulled the dagger from her shoe.

"What do you want to do? are you gonna hurt me who's a girl?" samantha's guts suddenly shrieked at the dagger.

"Can't betray Isabella, can't betray her. I just love Isabella" said Charlize, stabbing the dagger into her shoulder to keep her consciousness awake.

"Charlize no, don't do that. You could be gone, please take off the dagger now. Don't act recklessly" asked Samantha.

"I'd rather not betray Isabella" replied Charlize smiling.

"Charlize!" Albert barged into Charlize's room, "How dare you Samantha."

Albert grabs Samantha's hair and throws her out of the room, calling the knights to arrest Samantha and lock her up.

"Thank you," Charlize said, Charlize's consciousness this time completely disappeared until she fell out of the window and into the sea.

"Charlize!" Shouted Albert, he also jumped into the sea to save his best friend.

"I'm here then you'll definitely be fine," inner Albert tried to grab Charlize's drowning body.

A few years ago.

"The title of crown prince will belong to Prince Albert, the prince is the rightful heir." It was the decision of the shrine that made Albert crown prince at the age of 12.

"How is that possible?" inwardly Sera, he did not accept if the child of a concubine became more crown prince while his son who was born by an empress instead did not..

Everyone who supported Albert felt very happy that he was elected. But not with Albert, he just lost a mother and now he has no power in the future he can't fight.

"Congratulations Albert, I've heard. But why are you sad?" ask Charlize to touch her best friend's shoulder.

"I can't fight in the future, how will I protect Vanessa? I don't deserve her, love shouldn't be forced. I'll forget Vanessa, she's a good girl and I don't deserve her." Charlize bowed her head on her knees.

"You are the crown prince, the entire imperial knight army will protect you and obey you in the future. Later you can protect Vanessa, no. You're gonna protect this one empire, so don't think too much of it."

"Anyone can betray, said the mother. My mother said I can't trust anyone but my support, because we won't know when they'll turn and attack us. Living as a royal family won't be easy, we need a truly loyal person."

"Don't think about it again. Later in the future I will be your sword, I swear to my mother that my life is only to protect you, support you, and unite you with Vanessa. So please don't be sad."

"alright. Later let me be your shield, I will also protect from the bad guys. My eyes of truth are never wrong" said Albert vigorously. A promise so sweet, and not to be kept by Albert.
