Chapter 27: Angered Secretary!

Chapter 27: Angered Secretary!

"W-Why did you kill them when they already fulfilled their bargain...!"

There was a tinge of shock and slight rage in her voice as Ciel saw the spectacle in front which took a drastic unexpected turn within seconds.

After Seth asked who their boss was in return for the potion, everyone pointed at a single person and the person himself was just gritting his teeth in agitation.

The boss came out to be the one who attacked Seth when he was about to strike the Artifact holder. The one with the sword.

However, it wasn't the ambusher's identity that made Ciel so worked up.

Seth after discovering the boss, not only didn't spare a single potion for the other twelve, on the contrary, he killed each one of them and left the thirteenth one only!

It was just the opposite of what he promised.

"Take that man. Heal him so he doesn't die in a day and place him 'there'."

Seth put a blind ear to his enraged secretary and ordered his coachman on which the latter just bowed and went to accomplish his duty.

The aftermath of the battle was also taken care of by his servants so Seth didn't wait there for much longer before he started walking toward the Academy. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

He just took a glance at the fuming Ciel before he passed judgment without minding what she has to say at all.

"You are suspended from the council for this week. Reflect on your behavior in the meantime"

[Seth's POV:]

"Thank you for the hard work, President."

"Hmm."

The first thing I did after reaching the Academy was to hand over the re-evaluation question papers which took a hell lot out of me.

Walking toward the council office, I thought about the bandits I came across some minutes ago.

Anabelle's pupils contacted as emotions left her face. She clenched her fist inside the towel she was using to dry her hair as she reminded herself, how she needed Ciel for the time being.

'Calm down... remember she's a friend and you have to keep a close relationship with her... '

Anabelle somehow cool herself and in the meantime, Ciel also calmed down a little albeit completely unaware of Anabelle's current fluctuating thoughts.

Ciel took a glass of water as the other one wore clothes before the two sat side by side.

"Now tell me what happened... "

Ciel was a little startled upon hearing the slightly heavy voice of Anabelle but she also needed to wail out her frustration, so she began to narrate the incident that happened in the morning.

[After fifteen minutes]

Ciel spoke everything from morning to the time when she was left alone on the pathway. She didn't miss a single detail about how they sat in the carriage and how mercilessly Seth killed all those bandits before walking away.

Ciel trusted Anabelle enough to let out such delicate information which the President might decide to keep a secret.

"...hmmm, is that so. Well, it's better you take a bath since you know the blood might have come in your way."

Ciel wasn't sure whether she was stained anywhere or not but taking her friend's advice she took a towel and went for another bath.

Left alone in the room, Anabelle thought of the turn of events, Ciel told about before a wicked smile formed on her lips.

She just like others knew that Seth was a bonafide mage with as much field experience as a third-year should obtain in their schooling period.

Attaining flawless fighting style and killing human beings without mercy was not something to be expected a normal teenager unless...

'There's no doubt...It's you... '
