I Am The Game's Villain

Chapter 154 [Event] [Enigma Red Dungeon] [15] Auroraʼs Responsibility

[On the 44th floor]

”Lord Michael. Lend me your strength.” Aurora muttered and a thick layer of golden mana coated her the golden blade of her sword. Then she took a step forward and in a golden flash, she appeared behind a three-meter tall wolf. It was a Disaster Beast.

The wolf didnʼt even notice Auroraʼs presence and its head was sliced off cleanly. 

”With this one, we are at thirteen,” Aurora muttered.

”We are not late on time, that is good news,” Carla approached. It was the afternoon of the second day and they werenʼt late but…

”We canʼt say that we are in advance either though…” Thomas added a little disappointed. They were really having a hard time finding Disaster Beasts and having reached thirteen was already impressive. The Mana Beasts were still Disaster Beast, some even five-star, they were strong but against a team with Aurora, Carla, Thomas and Ronald, they were no match. 

”I wish I could be strong like her…”

”Iʼm glad to be with them, ehehe.”

”You bet with two beauties.”

”Two handsome men as well!”

Their teammates were fighting but they knew that the job was done quickly thanks to the four great talents in their team.

To avoid being a burden, they preferred to handle daily tasks such as the night shift or cooking. Aurora was adamantly opposed because she saw them as equals, but the latter pleaded so strongly that she ultimately gave up.

”We are late,” Ronald said, irritated. ”Iʼm sure Alfred is already ahead of us dammit.”

Thomas groaned hearing Ronald. ”Itʼs ʼHis Highnessʼ for you and Iʼm pretty sure you are more worried that Layla is together with His Highness than anything else.”

”Shut up, Thomas!” Ronald couldnʼt even deny when Thomas hit the bullseyes. Recently, Layla stopped hanging out with him. As always she was a lot with Alfred but she even started to hang around with Edward now. The icing on the cake was that both Alfred and Edward were in Laylaʼs group!

”Do not mind that, Thomas,” Aurora said with a smile. ”We have known each other for more than a decade, there is no need for formality between us outside important ceremonies. Iʼm certain, my brother wouldnʼt mind either.”

”Right…oh, yes, we recently received an invitation to celebrate your and Alfredʼs birthday, Aurora.” Carla spoke remembering what her father said to her.

”Indeed, it will be next month, I hope you will all be here.” Aurora nodded happily.

”I would not miss His Highnessʼ birthday, of course.” Thomas didnʼt even hesitate.

”If I have time,” Ronald shrugged uninterested but there was a high probability of him coming since Layla would surely take part in Alfredʼs birthday.

”Me as well…I would like to give a visit to Lucius and Sylvia, it has been a while after all,” Carla nodded. ”Has his situation evolved, Aurora?”

Aurora shook her head sadly when questioned about her younger brother. ”He is still unconscious…Sylvia is spending most of her time with him. I want her to use time for herself…”

Since the day Lucius Celesta fell into a coma, their always joyous castle became rather bleak. She could never forget those memories when they were all playing in the garden of the palace together. The unfortunate events started with Lucius and it continued with Edwardʼs change after his motherʼs death, Mirandaʼs mother death, Laylaʼs mother death…her engagement with Edward that should have been a success to reinforce the Kingdom within…

”Sigh…I canʼt say Iʼm not worried, my father told me that His Majesty invited the Arvatra Empire on this occasion.” Thomas muttered and the air turned slightly heavy. Their relation with the Arvatra couldnʼt be said to be really good after all.

”Aurora…I think you already know that but the reason why your father invited the Arvatra Empire is mainly-”

”I know Carla,” Aurora replied. ”An alliance between our countries through a marriage between me and the Imperial Prince. Father already made me aware of this decision and I agreed. I had already irresponsibly broken the engagement between me and Edward…Itʼs my duty.”

”Well, that Imperial Prince is better than Edward,” Thomas said jokingly.

”I donʼt think so…” Carla muttered in barely audible tone.
