I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 151: ALLIES GATHERING: PART 2

Evelyn already ordered Gil to use his powers to help Silvester arrive a little earlier than planned and preferably at night where people won't see him and his sudden arrival in the Levingstone Kingdom.

Sir George, Sir Erich were the last to walk in after Silvester. Sir George greeted Evelyn and bowed lightly as a sign of respect.

"Don't worry about formalities, just act like how you usually are around me" Evelyn said as she shortly glanced to Sir George before she looked towards Sir Erich.

Sir Erich blushed as he saw the beautiful lady who leisurely greeted them with her alluring cat-like eyes.

However, he started to think about their agenda with this trip.

'Aren't we supposed to meet that A-rank adventurer that was left here in the Levingstone Kingdom?' Sir Erich thought.

The itinerary was supposed to start two days from now but because Gil, who he knows as Adelyn's subordinate, the trip became three days earlier than planned.

Sir Erich looks at Sir George who silently stands at his highness, Silvester back. Sir Erich was ready to send a deathly glare towards Adelyn if he saw her again.

He then whispered.

"Who is she?"

"..."

Sir George ignored him, even though he knew the real identity of the individual that was in front of them, he didn't have the authority to disclose it without his master, Silvester's permission.

"Aren't we supposed to meet Miss Adelyn? Why are we at this grandiose mansion?" Sir Erich asked again.

"Why don't you think about who resembles the lady in front of us?" Sir George gave him a hint and Sir Erich deeply thought about it.

Evelyn heard Sir Erich asked and eventually she ignored him. She doesn't have the responsibility to answer his questions, though she started to walk around the mansion without her mask on.

The blessing of Chrisfold is still activated by her mana, and it was only at times that she switched back to her true appearance.

Gasp!

The black mana user, Sir Erich was shocked, because the chestnut hair and the chestnut eyes were familiar to him.

He raised his fingers up and leveled it to Evelyn's face and Sir Erich looked between them. Now, he was certain, it was the half scared Adelyn.

"How?! She's Miss Adelyn?!"

Evelyn didn't spare him a glance again as Silvester walked to her receiving area in her office.

Silvester sat at the red couch while Evelyn also sat across from him and started to read her book again that was related to grimoires. 

"Did Edickart know that you'll be here in Levingstone Kingdom?" She asked.

"She's addressing the Crown Prince of this Kingdom without honorifics!" Sir Erich was mumbling at the back as he listened to the sweet voice of Evelyn.

"Why does he need to know?" Silvester replied.

"Sil..." She sternly called him.

Gasp! "He's calling his highness with a pet name?! And so strictly at that!" Sir Erich cant believe what he was hearing from her lips. 

The A-rank adventurer that he thought was vulgar and without etiquette was gracefully flipping the page of the book with grace.

"Stop reacting to everything!" Sir George gave him his deathly eyes and Sir Erich pursed his lips and zipped his mouth.

Anyways, back to Evelyn and Silvester's conversation...

"Fine, he knew but what he knows is that it is three days from now."

She closed the book and placed it on the table.

"Then that's fine, I also need you to teach me how to open and use this."

"Why do you need this by the way?"

Silvester asked as he placed a black covered book which is oozing with black mana on the table.

"You don't even have an affinity to black mana, so why?"

He was having doubts about why she needed it. He also can't use it because his affinity is Ice, while Erich who is Silvester's knight and mage might have affinity to black mana but doesn't have enough mana capacity to support the power that is needed to supply the magic spell.

"Don't worry, i have someone with me that might have the ability."

Evelyn actually thought that she might have pulled it off but then again, she doesn't have affinity to black mana and thought that it's better to pass it to someone who knew and was familiar with it.

"You have someone who has an affinity to black mana?"

"Yes"

At that moment, Cassandra knocked on the door and opened it with a maid that was pushing a cart with tea and refreshment.

"Oh there she is"

Evelyn smiled warmingly and genuinely. Sir Erich, Sir George and Silvester who saw that smile were either dazed, blushed and became shy with how sweet it was.

Silvester faked a cough as he also became dazed at his own cousin.

"Ahem and who might this Lady be?" He asked as he tried to divert the attention back to the woman whose hair is raven and has thin glasses and droopy purple eyes.

Sir Erich gained back his senses and felt the familiar aura from her.

"Wait a minute" Sir Erich paused and thought about what the familiar feeling was.

The two have locked eyes and they confirmed each other's affinities.

"Huh?"

Eventually, Cassandra bowed to Silvester as she held her dress side by side, looking like a fan.

"It's a pleasure to meet your highness, I'm known as Cassandra."

Gasp!

Another exclamation came from Sir Erich that made Sir George want to smack him. However, his reactions this time were more intense and he was pointing his finger to the lady while his other hand was trying to suppress his voice from letting it out.

"Sh- she she's the last witch!"

The people aside from Evelyn and Cassandra were shocked to their core. 

It was because Cassandra who was known to be the survivor of the black mana users and has the capabilities and power of a hundred elite mage was said to have vanished and turned into seclusion after the war.

Silvester broke the silence as he spoke towards Evelyn.

"How did you find her? Is she really the last witch?"

Evelyn smiled and nodded.

"I did a lot of things to find her a lot~ of things" She looked at Cassandra and gave her a meaningful look and smirked.

Cassandra tried not to roll her eyes at her and just ignored her and sat beside her.

"Are we not going to look at that Grimoire? I'm itching to see it ever since I walked in here."

"That's right please have a look." Silvester said.

Cassandra examined the book and the rest patiently waited for her to finish scanning it. She closed the book after and told them what she found out.

"That's great! We can now proceed as planned."

The meeting came to an end and three days after Silvester will need to go and visit Crown Prince Edickart.

"You will act as my knight again?"

"Of course, that's a given."

Evelyn decided to act as Silvester's knight again. She also needs to see what was Elise doing for the past few days as well as the spy that she planted.

'Nine said that he finished drawing the map of the interior of the temple. I should use it and memorize them.' Evelyn thought and turned her head to look at Cassandra and ask a question.

"Cassandra is the spell finished?"

"Yes it's here in the bag. You only need to stick this paper in the medium of the black mana where the magic is distributed to the statues. The spell will conceal itself. The effects won't take effect immediately as to not let them know that their plan is sabotage."

"You're the best!"

Evelyn hugged Cassandra. The chances of sneaking in the temple where Chrisfold and Gil made a mess once they visited the temple is where the production and casting of the black magic should be.

"At night, I'll sneak in with the rest of my company so, this time you will have a big entourage. Is that alright, your highness?" She asks Silvester.

Seeing that she was speaking formally with him, Silvester knew that she was requesting as he is the one with authority.

He smiled.

"Of course, it's been a while since I saw my cousin wreak havoc. It will be fun."

"Since when did I do that?"

He stared at her with his dead blue eyes like what she was saying was absurd.

"Alright, fine fine. I do cause trouble sometimes."

"Ha"

He sighs and scoffs at the same time.

"So, who are the people that you said will accompany us in the temple?"

"Well, Sir Erich and Cassandra can't come with us because the people of the Light will immediately sense the black mana in their body."

Evelyn explained and Silvester nodded.

"Some people at my company have faces that are familiar with them but that would be a piece of cake because we have you, Sil. You can just tell them you recruited them."

Evelyn's spirits that were in human form have entered the room of Silvester. They were dressed in the Perspiru Kingdom's uniform.

"I think you're mostly familiar with them."

"Oh!"

"This is Sir Bern, Lady Cathy, and Lady Alisha."

Silvester immediately put his business-like smile that Evelyn hasn't seen for a while.

"It's a pleasure that we meet again."

"The pleasure is ours."

The three greeted him formally unlike what they used to do in the Academy.
