Chapter 13:

To Move forward, One must cut down the past.

Love Beyond The Closet Door


*Rattering~ (I don't know the sound of carriage moving so here random SFX)

Me and Lady Alicia is on our way to Lothian Imperial Academy.

We hired the coachman from outside of family, Milady despite never receive love from her family never lack in fund due they still invest in her become stronger, not as their daughter but as their tool.

Alicia currently enjoy her Super Deluxe Premium 100% Strawberry Milkshake Sweeter! In delight.

After we done with mana-integrated enchancement, Lady Alicia after took a bit of rest, she start alter the refrigerator we bought to make it run on mana stone instead of electricity.

She then start to happily took out strawberry milkshake box we bought and place them inside one by one with smile wide on her face.

After she finished all that she kicked me out her room to her personal bathroom attached to the side of her room, and order me, do not ever come out unless i called out to you, when i asked why?

She just bluntly tell me, she need to remove cloth to alter her body otherwise her cloth will disintegrated like me.

‘Unless you want to get knock out again by me, hurry and go’

I kinda want to see it as man, but that the worst choice as her knight so i don't have any other choice.

After Lady Alicia finished drank her Favorite milkshake.

She start check the soundproof and identify if there any sound-tracking or recording installed in carriage, after scan, organic and inorganic like in 3D map from all side and corner, she recast the sound-proof spell she already casted before inside carriage, then she add another triple layers of same spell with different configuration.

Now that my body are made up of mana, my eyes which turned blue can see the flow of all mana and how she casted it, even so it not like know how she used it mean i will be able to do it myself.

After severals confirmation, Alicia finally start talk to Yusra about what she plan to do when they reach academy.

“By the time we reached the school, there will ball event hosted by current student council president, he will invite all nobles student and some outstanding commoner that stand as servant for noble faction, so you can count them as noble faction as whole.

My goal is to eliminate every single one of them in ball room with exception of Arianne de Fereshete, whom you will lead her away from ballroom, kidnap her unharm if possible before she could join the ball room, then block the front entrance to Serenity Hall which the ball will take place at.

The operation will start the moment we reached the academy gate, you will be acting as my escort to school before i pretend to ask you to take my luggage to my room, there is nothing but cheap cloth hiding large scale explosive device i prepared inside those bag. The explosion power should be enough to destroy the entirely of dormitory, so anyone who stay inside will either be seriously injuried or dead.

There is nothing important inside my dormitory room so no need to retrieve anything from there.

Yusra, you just need to place the bag in center of my room where i secretly laid amplify circle before hand.

Alicia who decided to cut her tie with this world explained her plan to completely destroy all her enemy before run away.

“But, Milady where would you run away to?”

“Isn't answer obvious? Of course it your apartment room”

My poker face collapsed in shock

“Eh?”

“We need to destroy the dimension cracked after we passed through it too so not can ever use it to chase after us.

But there too many risk to move the closet so we have to left it there in my room.”

Lady Alicia took out another one of milkshake from mini-refrigerator she placed side of her coach.

“Before we left the mansion, i already stoled all gold bar and fund in underground safe, so there won't be any issue with money even after i go to your world, i don't know if it will last for lifetime but it should be plenty enough to even start business in your world?”

“W-wait, Lady Alicia don't tell me…you plan to…?”

Alicia grin slightly then continue drink her milkshake.

“Of course, I plan to flee to your world after cause all the commotion i can.”

Then alicia her face become red and act shyly twisted her body around.

“T-this is…it hard to say but i will also give answer to your confession properly after everything is done!”

Her face become redder went poof.

“D-don't talk to me anymore today hmp!! I'm not in mood to continue conversation anymore!!”

My mouth remain open agape and it refuse to close for quite a while.

*******************************

*Few days later, in front of Lothian Imperial Academy city gate.

“Wow, so this entire place is part of academy?”

“Yes, the entirely of city is count as part of academy, the outermost part is where merchant and guild conduct business it also include eatery, cake shop, and various others store here.

The middle part is where facilities of academy located like grand coliseum, party hall, library, training ground be it shared or private to rent.

And the inner most part of city lie the core of it, The Lothian Imperial Academy building and all of it main facilities, that also where the students dorms is located.”

While we chattering away to pass time.

It finally our turn for inspection.

“Please present your identification card please”

“I-identification card?”

I never heard such term before, is it like ID in this world?

Alicia ignore him, and open the window and show the guard her identification card she took out from her handbag.

“Is this enough?”

When card received the card and laid eye on her information. His face immediately turn pale like white paper.

“A-azure Devil!? I-i am truly sorry, Lady Roswell!! We didn't recognize your esteemed self due there is no crest on your carriage, here you card! There is no need for inspection! please pass the gate right away! Sorry for trouble!!”

I can hear the sound of card being afraid and can sense that he immediately give our coachman some kind of golden badge, then move to side and bow his head deeply along with others guard station in front gate.

After retrieved her card, the carriage started to move toward center.

“Just…what's happened?”

“Oh, Yusra, you don't need to worry about it, i'm Particular WELL KNOWN in this academy city, there not many people dare to opposed me here, as for badge the guard give it to coachman, that's the pass for center layers, bronze is for outer layers, while silver is for middle layers.”

“Umm…What about what he said ‘Azure Devil?’”

Lady Alicia give me a smile that not really smile that give your a chill instead.

“Yusra, sometime, it's better to remain obvious than know everything you know?”

That's definitely not topic she want to have discussion.

I better take step back here.

*******************************

On our way to center layer which will take about 20 more mins.

“Lady Alicia, can you explain to me about Lady Arianne de Fereshete? Whom i need to kidnap?”

Lady Alicia frown slightly seem like she don't want to talk about her.

But she still answer my question properly.

“That girl…is pure, very pure and a complete idiot, the only good things about her is her beauty rival mine with pink hair and light blue eyes, her body is very voluptuous yet her hips remain slim despite her huge appetite it make me envy…no, i meant to say her brain only filled with love and fantasy, and she have huge crush on that unpleasant foolish crown prince.

But since she doesn't understand concept of seduce at all neither how destructive her body is, she end cause problem all over the place, and all she been doing so far is just rush toward crown prince try to huge him, act all cute to him, and it not even act but her true nature.”

And yet

“She is only one person i known beside you, who never have prejudice against me, the only one without any bad intention before i met you…She is my precious friend.

I don't want her to end up with bad person or that crown prince, And i'm too afraid to left her alone without any protection.

So, i decided to just kidnap her to your world.

I'm sorry but this is not really order, but can i ask you to please kidnap her unharm then place her to safe place inside this carriage which i spent several days on our way casted protection spell in multipled layers.

After you done placed her inside the carriage, you can to ballroom later to block off the entrance till i finish off everyone”

“You don't need to worry about me be by myself, I alone is enough to kill everyone and the distance from center to middle layers will give me enough time to finish everyone. Even if you a bit late is fine, but please make sure Arianne is safe”

For first time i met her, Lady Alicia bow her head toward me.

“Of course, milady! I will gladly do whatever you ask me to be it kidnap or kill others!”

Alicia show her bright smile toward me and grab my hand.

Her head turn down toward ground, i think i see water drop from her face, but i pretend to know nothing of it.

*******************************

The carriage come to stop at central layers of academy.

“Yusra please be careful”

“The same goes for you, Lady Alicia”

Alicia and Yusra smile at each others.

Alicia take out paper from her handbag and give it to Yusra.

“Just in case, but here is the map of Entirely of academy city, it's illegal to have this one, so make sure no one see you holding them”

“Yes, Milady i will use them well.”

Both of us stare at each other face before turn our back to each others and say exactly the same word as each others.

“Then let's us return safe and sound”

The carriage start to turn back toward middle layers

*******************************

Alicia hidden near the entrance to ballroom mansion in corner of checked the time with her mana powered hand watch.

She didn't see Arianne at all, only her servant Noretta, that mean Yusra most likely succeeded in kidnapped her.

Confirmed that most likely everyone has entered inside the ballroom by now.

She then start to come out from where her hiding place.

Her face which used to be vivid when near Yusra (Yuuma) return back to cold emotionless face.

She take out her beloved sword and slowly approach the mansion…..
