Pseudo-Villaines

Wicked Plan

Kalina was worried. Worries were clearly etched on his face. His eyes go around. He was not focused on his lesson. Everything Ulrich said he didn't hear. His body had a study room, but his mind floated somewhere.

As his teacher, Jean or in this moment let us call Ulrich, understanding the unrest that is haunting his student. Therefore, he paused for a moment from his teaching activity.

"I'm sorry for my insolence, young lady. But can I know what makes you nervous? From that moment on, I realized you weren't focused on learning."

Kalina felt no need to answer Ulrich's question, so she remained silent. Ulrich also had no intention of pursuing anymore. He decided to stop asking.

"I think the lesson needs to end here. If you have any questions about what we learned today, please take note. We'll discuss it together tomorrow."

While saying that, Ulrich tidied up all his belongings and stuffed them into a dull leather bag. Prepare to end the study session today.

It's not because he's emotional or carried away. Ulrich simply did not want the learning situation to be not conducive. Especially with Kalina who is not in the mood to learn.

As he wanted to leave, the bottom of his shirt was pulled. By Kalina. His face was demanding something from Ulrich.

"Gift....."

"Mmmmm, what's the matter young lady? I can't hear you."

"Where is my gift for today, Ulrich! Why did you go straight home without keeping your promise first!"

Uh! Ulrich patted his eel. He completely forgot. In order for Kalina to be obedient and excited while studying, Kalina made a pact with Ulrich.

First, if Kalina volunteered to attend a study session in one day, then at the end of the session, Ulrich would give her a reward.

Second, if Kalina could answer the quiz given by Ulrich, then the prize that was obtained on that day would be doubled.

Third, there will be exams every week. If Kalina can get a value above the standard set by Ulrich, then the prize will be doubled by 10 times.

With a wry smile, Jean took out something from her leather bag. It was a square object wrapped by cloth. With sparkling eyes, Kalina grabbed the thing and opened the package. It was chocolate covered in strawberries as a topping.

Kalina directly devoured it without a second thought. The anxiety he had been experiencing was completely gone, as if it was a lie.

Seeing that, Ulrich did not resist his urge to wipe Kalina's beautiful purple hair. The girl looks comfortable. It was only when the chocolate ran out that he realized that Ulrich was rubbing his hair and he immediately moved away.

"Don't touch my head as well as you do, you lowly commoner!"

"I'm sorry for my stupidity, young lady."

Ulrich joined his stool and sat down before Kalina. This was indeed disrespectful considering Kalina was a noble. But for Ulrich, this was necessary.

"I'm sorry for my impoliteness, young lady. But may I find out what makes young lady anxious?"

Kalina fell silent. He was confused whether to tell or not. In the end, Kalina would rather reveal it than she was quiet.

Her sister, 18-year-old Karina Lesko, was given a mission to go to the border between the kingdom of Warsaw and the Principality of Danzig. He told his family that at dinner a few days ago.

He was a knight and going far away to go on an expedition was common. But in fact, Kalina understood that the border was a very dangerous place. Separated by dense forests and dense vegetation, inside were many unclassified monstrous monsters.

This made her family restless, but Karina was much more restless. Karina is the closest sister to Kalina compared to her other siblings. This worry is a natural thing.

Kalina became relieved. Seeing Ulrich who was worried about her, Kalina felt a warmth radiating throughout her body. Count Lesko could do nothing to abort this mission. Especially Ulrich. But at least, he felt the weight lifted when various stories with Ulrich.

"Young lady, to reduce your anxiety, what if we study outside. I heard outside the city walls where the nobles live, there is a beautiful garden right? Let's learn there to refresh ourselves. I'll get you a license."

Kalina nodded without thinking twice. That would be fun! He rarely came out and this would be a rare moment for him. He was impatient to wait for that.

***

Borders of the Warsaw kingdom and the Principality of Danzig. The same night Ulrich returned from Count Lesko's residence.

That night, Deep within the dense and moist forest, five people wearing black robes covering their entire bodies stood around a large circle.

On top of the circle, there were a thousand corpses piled up like mountains. Men and women, young and old. They were all killed with cuts to the neck.

One of the five men raised his hand and muttered something. Not long after, the circle shone brightly and the earth shook. From within it, hundreds of giant humanities monsters appeared.

The five people quickly left the forest with teleportation magic. The monster that emerged from the circle instantly roared loudly. Their roars destroyed the environment around them.

"Mission succeeded. Let's report this to our superiors."

They all nodded. They had completed the mission they had received. The rest just wait when the time comes.
