3rd person's P.O.V

She emotionlessly stared at the noble couple while still holding her black book on her left hand, she wipe off the remaining blood stains on her cheeks and took a bite on the hard bread she's holding on her right hand.

Satisfied by what she's seeing, she sat comfortably at the top of the hill, just watching while the couple sat at the bermuda grass talking to a dead person's grave. She made a grimace face when the guy kissed the girls forehead, can the be more cringe than these?

Of course she knows nothing about love.

But this is just a sight for sore eyes.

She chew the last piece and draw a cross just right on top the duke's name.

"Grim reapers might lose their job because of you." I shadow appeared in front of her, she don't need to look up to see who it is, she knew from his voice and the built of his shadows.

It was Asmodeus, a acquaintance of her. She rolled her eyes from him and stood up.

"Why are you here?" She asked in a unbothered look. His face was funny she almost laughed but she stopped before he reach for his daggers hidden around his belt.

"I was worried." The tall mysterious man named Asmodeus with a deep voice spoke.

"Worried about me dying?"

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Worried by people dying, you say." He smirked but she only shrugged and pointed what she's been looking.

"Mind telling me anything?"

"No, dumbass." She drank straight from the water bottle he gave her.

"He's the male lead."

Maybe he's just hallucinating? He felt someone's looking at him from behind. He looked back but there was no one to be seen. Suddenly his heartbeat ran fast and he almost stumble, good thing Esther got him.

"I think we should say bye to mom right now, I can sense someone spying on us." Suddenly fear gushed over her face, he tried to calm her down by hugging her, he called the knights to call for the carriage that's parked just around the area, unluckily they came back but not bringing the carriage, his eyebrows furrowed and irritated, he furiously asked why they didn't brought the carriage with them.

"BAD NEWS, YOUR HIGHNESS! THE HORSES AND HORSEMEN ARE ALL FOUND DEAD!" His eyes was astonished with what the knight just said, who dares to do this to the royal family?!

"The witness said she saw what clearly happened! Bring her!"

There was a witness?

They dragged someone wearing a unusual brown cloak that was up to her feet, and a white inside clothes that's been ruined, the knights forced her to remove her hood.

He didn't expected who was under the hood, she's not familiar but his heart raced just like what he felt awhile ago up the hill, the woman's feature is unusual and unique for someone to live there. Her hair's as black as coal, and they were straighter than other girls, her skin is not as fair as snow but slightly tanned but still light, her eyes are also different, they were dark brown, and it resembles a cat's eyes due to it's shape. She's also quite tall for someone to live in their country, because the common traits of everyone living their have brown, and red hair, royals have blonde hair, blue or green eyes, and pale skins.

But this girls feature doesn't matches the descriptions! She's one of a hell goddess! Her eyes are full of tears, maybe it's because of pure shock and the knights forcing her. She kneeled down in front of him and looked at him with her eyes begging.

"Y-your h-highness... please don't kill me..." He felt something twitch in his chest, just for a second maybe it was just a mirage but he saw her eyes turned red for a second. He closed and opened his eyes to see her again, crying.

"Oh my..." Esther gasped.

"Take her to the palace..." Still not taking his eyes of her. She stared at him desperately.

"I-I saw who did it! I promise to cooperate!" She almost kissed his shoes, he took one step back and kneeled in front of her full of pity, he doesn't always feels like this since he was knows as a sadistic and rude.

"I won't kill you, fine. I'll have you to stay until you are ready to speak."

She smirked in victory as a knight carried her as she acts like her knees are fragile that she can't walk. Her expression changed. She can clearly see up from the hill Asmodeus, waving at hm and smiling also like her in victory.

The stupid plan that idiot made worked. She held her black book right on her chest, making sure no one ever sees it.

She secretly glanced at the Prince's woman who's staring at her for a while now, she can feel the girl's deadly stares at her. The girl's jealous of her she can tell.

But why?
