Chapter 408-Suspense?

"It's good to see that you are safe," Marlene said as she walked up to Sabrina and gave her a hug, which Sabrina returned with a smile. The current her looked like the perfect elven princess, with beauty and grace oozing out of her, and a light smile that lit up her face taking away the breath of many.

I stood a bit far from them with my faction, gazing at all of this. The leaders all walked up to her and gave their greetings while the elven people who had gathered here soon joined them. After a certain talk went on between them, everyone started to walk towards the main tent where the previous discussion would be completed.

As we walked towards the tent, I felt a lot of different eyes on me. Catherine seemed to be in a bad mood, giving me a gaze that I countered by looking away. Olivia gave me a wink, my sister's eyes never left me, Marlene gave me looks filled with lots of emotions, Emily's depressed eyes looked at me, and Carmel seemed to be pouting at the fact that I hadn't visited her the previous day.

Soon, all of us were gathered in the tent. The same situation as before took place, with the leaders taking seats and one person standing behind them. The only difference now was that Sabrina had joined the fray.

'She looks p.i.s.sed,' I thought as I glanced at s.h.i.+ra, who was there disguised and standing still behind Bale. Her male dress hid her true gender, and she stood behind Bale like a good warrior. Having spent time with her, I understood that s.h.i.+ra was feeling a bit depressed now. How couldn't she when the thing she came for wasn't found? This was the realm where she would find the weapon to complete her bloodline that would let her rise to power. Heck, this was the arc where your game character goes through the realm with her, finding the weapon, helping her, and finally gaining her love. Well, I wasn't letting her have her way.

"I see. This is indeed a bad situation," Sabrina said, finally being updated on the situation. Her eyes were focused on the map, but she soon turned to look at me, her expression giving out nothing as she spoke. "Must have been hard getting this in your hands," she said with a light tone, to which I nodded my head. "I had some difficulties," I replied, to which Sabrina just nodded her head, acting like everything was normal between us.

"So what do we do now?" Carmel suddenly spoke, making the atmosphere heavier.

"I think I might have something," I said, taking the focus on myself. Soon, everyone was looking at me.

"This is not me, but something that someone from my faction found out, and if it is true, things can change a lot."

Just as I finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Raze, except for Sabrina. Last night, I wasn't just messing around with my girls. I had also discreetly sent over some information to the rest of the camp about Raze's possible betrayal. Hence, right now, outside the tent, several powerful students have kept the beastmen faction in check. If they make a move, it would be a bloodbath.

Several other security measures were in place. Of course, no one made any moves yet since the information I gave them was all t.i.tbits. But the moment Leonardo reveals the truth, things would truly start to get spicy.

"Leonardo," I called, and the tent was moved as he was permitted to enter. Soon, he was inside, and as he walked up to the center of the tent, with my senses completely spread, I felt the slight killing intent that was released from Raze, Bale, and Nell. The three of their eyes narrowed at the sight of Leonardo.

'What? Did you think that your a.s.sa.s.sinations would work?'

While I sent the information, I didn't exclude Bale from it, who is colluding with the beastmen group. The two of them are connected by 'that' group, with Bale being a main member of the darkness.

"h.e.l.lo," entering inside, Leonardo gave a light bow. While his eyes focused on everyone here, I could see his eyes lighting up on seeing all the women here, going into a daze at their beauty and power.

"Show us the proof, Leonardo," I spoke with a neutral tone, not cold nor welcoming, something which brought a surprise to many here. They all knew that Leonardo is part of my faction, but with all of them being the smart individuals they are, they quickly pierced everything and understood the simple fact that Leonardo is no longer part of my faction.

A certain greed pa.s.sed through the leaders that wanted Leonardo. After all, he is quite well known within the academy for his powers and certain stuff that happened. Plus, it's no secret to all the people here that he wields the legendary weapon of the hero.

"Of course," Leonardo said, his tone light while he looked at me with an expression of disgust. Something which all noticed, this quickly took away the interest of the people with a good relations.h.i.+p with me, namely Olivia, Carmel, Marlene, Sabrina, and even Ron.

Though the likes of Bale, Raze, Isabella, and Angelina only got more interested in him. Leonardo's hands flashed as an orb appeared in his hand. Seeing it, I focused my gaze on Raze and Bale, who was clearly not having any good expressions. A smirk lit my lips when I saw it. Leonardo moved forward as he placed the orb on the center of the table.

Just as he did, he turned to look at Raze. This time his disgust was on full display as he looked at the young prince.

"You dare!" Raze shouted out, his powerful mana pus.h.i.+ng off Leonardo who took the brunt of it. Coughing out blood, this was the last straw as the atmosphere in the tent grew all-time high. The powerful auras of each of us left our bodies, and the pressure in the room increased like no other.

Everyone's eyes focused on Raze, whose expression was not good to look at. Just as the situation was about to burst, the tent was opened as a student ran in shouting, "It's an enemy attack!" This got everyone's attention as we looked towards the entrance. Just then, everyone felt a distortion and a cloaked enemy appeared near the orb. No one was able to respond as the figure's hand flashed, destroying the orb into pieces. This astonished everyone at the fact that someone had made it to the center of the tent without anyone even detecting it. "Chaos shall reign!" the figure shouted, after which the body started to turn to liquid, leaving behind a black cloak and a liquid that looked like a mix of blood, body parts, and pus, an extremely disgusting sight with an awful smell.

Silence fell over the entire tent as everyone kept looking at the goo. The shouts of war were being heard from outside, and seeing so, I clapped my hands. The sound brought everyone out of their daze and they turned to look at me. My expression was extremely serious as I spoke, "We will deal with this, but first we should focus on the war, while the beastmen faction should be kept on lockdown."

"We shall accept that," Raze said with a smile, looking like the perfect mix of a pacifist. No hint of CLOSE

anger or anything was felt by him, but n.o.body was smiling except him. Everyone was looking at him with narrowed eyes, and they were now sure that he had something in the play, but without any o

proof, it was all for naught.

"The entire faction will be held down. If you have any problem, you can face everyone here," Sabrina suddenly said, her eyes narrowed, while her expression turned neutral. Raze still had his smile as he spoke, "Sure, it's my pleasure."

This again irked everyone, but now was not the time for them to be distracted. "Sir, Austin, can you deal with him?" Sabrina said, surprising everyone. "It's my pleasure. I will keep him in check," I replied with a smile. "Don't worry; I will be fine," I said, cutting off Nora, who wanted to disagree. Seeing that everyone agreed, knowing that Sabrina had quite the in-depth planning, everyone moved outside, knowing that an inner war would soon begin. The beastmen would go out of control if Raze didn't come out.

Soon everyone left the tent, leaving me along with Raze and Nell.
