The Queen Who Shares Love
Chapter 45 Threats

Dale remained calm while smiling like he was used to. Isabella and Dale's hands were still holding. He took Isabella's hand off, then advanced forward toward Piere. There were only three of them. Isabella is still invisible. 

"I will report to the Pope that there is an intruder" Piere said trembling.

"I don't intend to hurt anyone. I'm trying to help your friend" replied Dale.

Isabella just observed Dale's actions. 

"Stop lying! I keep reporting it to the Pope!" Piere turned around, fleeing. 

Isabella prevented him from pulling him down. Dale patted Isabella on the shoulder, thanking her. Isabella brushed off Dale's hand. He doesn't need the gratitude of an annoying person.

Dale crouched down in front of Piere. Still with his smile, even though he did not look happy. "I'm trying to talk good. I know what your friend needs, but it's not a good thing. I'm trying to help her."

"What does Paul need?"

"Do you know about Count Blaire?"

Pierre's eyes widened. He knew what the person in front of him meant.

"Paul couldn't have used that."

"You know this card?" Dale took out the wine card.

"The card was once found among Paul's belongings" Piere replied.

"This card is the tool used to get the item from Count Blaire."

"How do I know if you're being honest?" Piere still didn't trust Dale completely.

"It's up to you to believe it or not. I'm running out of time here. So I have to go. I hope you keep my arrival a secret. I'll be back tomorrow. Tomorrow I will wait in front of the prayer hall. If you want more information, meet me. If you divulge my arrival there is no information for you" threatened Dale. His face is still the same. His tone sounded like a threat. He kept the wine card back.

Dale immediately activated his magic leaving the bewildered Piere. Isabella followed him.

They twice rested in a quiet place because Dale suddenly appeared. Now they had reached the wall that bordered the prayer hall and the residence of the priest.

Dale clasped Isabella's hand again, immediately moving on the other side of the wall. His body is starting to look back. He looks exhausted. Using magic repeatedly drained his energy. His energy was still left to teleport to the tower.

Isabella immediately took off her hood.

"So you'll come back here tomorrow?" ask Isabella.

Dale leaned himself against the tree where they were talking just a moment ago.

"of course. That priest could be an important informant in the future."

They still had not discovered the forbidden magic ritual that the temple had performed. They need insiders to provide information. The priest will be useful.

"What are you gonna do to her roommate?" ask Isabella.

"If it is, let the priest decide what is best for his friend" Dale replied cheerfully.

Isabella sighed. Grateful Dale could be free from precarious circumstances. Now it's time to return to the Faust residence.

Isabella opens Dale's cloak to return it. 

"You don't have to give it back. I still have many magic robes like that. I'll give it to you, maybe it'll be useful to you" Dale said.

"That means I have to teleport four times a day. Twice went to the temple and twice to the tower. The further away it is the more energy I need. The tower and the temple are very far away. I don't have that much energy" Dale explained.

Isabella was about to thank him but Dale interrupted her, "Ah, if you really want to return it, don't forget to wash it. I heard it could be a form of affection from a noble."

Isabella's frustration again. The one who pulled him back. The tower magician only meant it when conducting investigations and meetings. The rest he likes to play around. Isabella regretted feeling the tower's witch leader was great.

"I'll keep it" replied Isabella Ketus.

Isabella left Dale, headed for her chariot.

"Are you coming here tomorrow, Countess?" ask Dale.

Isabella's steps stopped. He looks. "You see tomorrow, whether I come or not."

Isabella continued her steps. Dale looked at it from behind with a smile.

***

Leticia was in the capital city sightseeing with Judith. Dean escorts Judith along with Leticia's other bodyguards. Just in case someone blew up her room, Leticia brought all her magic stones.

Leticia invites Judith to a dessert. His daughter ate well. Sweet food is Judith's favorite, just like her mother's taste.

Leticia took Judith to the doll shop. His daughter did not look excited there. That's because Judith doesn't really like dolls. Leticia took him to other stores and bought him things that her daughter liked.

Judith looked at the bbq sold in the market. He seemed to want to eat it but did not dare to ask his mother, because it was unhealthy food. Leticia looked at the place Judith was looking at earlier. He went to that place and bought two bbq stitches. One for her and one for her daughter.

Judith, who saw her mother carrying the food she wanted to try, was excited. He tried it and said it was good. Leticia smiled at her daughter's behavior.

It was late afternoon, it was time for them to go home. However, the horse-drawn carriage that brought them here was broken. Even the bodyguard's horse carriage was also damaged. As if someone broke it. Leticia became more alert. There's a guy after him or his daughter. 

Leticia ordered one of her guards to return to the palace preparing a horse carriage along with Emilia. Leticia asks Emilia to bring her clothes and Judith.

Since the journey from the palace to the capital was a little far away, it was likely that a new horse carriage came tomorrow. Leticia and Judith had to spend the night in the capital.

They chose a pretty luxurious inn. Leticia wants Judith to feel comfortable there.

The remaining bodyguards stood guard in front with Dean. Leticia and Judith who were about to sleep heard the commotion outside. One of the guards came out of the inn to check on the commotion. Leticia clasped her daughter's hand tightly. 

Brakes...

Window glass broken. Leticia immediately hugged her daughter to protect her from the glass shrapnel. Guards who were still guarding outside immediately entered to hear the glass shards.

There were four people dressed in black who entered Leticia's room. Leticia distanced herself and Judith from the man who tried to harm them by moving from the bed. 

The two bodyguards Leticia and Dean fought against the black-clothed men. One of the men in black pulled Leticia's hair. Leticia takes her hand off Judith because she doesn't want her daughter to be dragged along.

Dean immediately protects Judith and takes her away. Judith thrashing. "Mom save, Mommy!" scream Judith.

The other two guards were still busy fighting Leticia's kidnapper.

The one who managed to catch Leticia immediately knocked her unconscious by hitting her nape. They all fled the place. 

"Hurry after those people!" judith orders the bodyguards that are there.
