Chapter 158 Lady Allura Was Kidnapped! 'Ugh… Why am I so nervous today…?' Allura groaned inwardly. 'Isn't it just a normal lunch?' She thought inwardly. She was really confused and couldn't understand her own thoughts. 'Isn't it just a normal lunch with a young man I met a week ago? So what if my husband, the king of this kingdom does not know about it? It is still a normal lunch, right?' Allura thought inwardly and soon, her face turned a little red. 'Ughh… Allura you idiot what are you thinking!' Allura shook her head repeatedly. 'It's all because of that Edda~ That girl only talked about how good her lover is, how he cares about her, how he looks after her, how incredibly handsome he is and… and how good he is… in the bed. It's all because of those indecent things that Edda talked about. Also, why is she using my name to bully that other maid!? I mean, I don't really have any problem with it… but still…' Allura's thoughts then diverted to other topics as she looked out of the carriage through the window. Yes, Allura Skyfall has left the palace again. Anyone who knows about her would find it completely normal. She was named 'The Bored Concubine' after all. However, if they knew what she was going to do, they won't find it normal at all. Meeting a man for the first time could be called a coincidence. Meeting him the second time could be blamed on curiosity. The third time could be said that they were now friends. However, if you leave the palace to meet the man again, especially when you have not told anyone about this 'friend' of yours, That is definitely not normal. That is suspicious. Of course, since we are talking about the Royal Palace, a place that is filled with scheming and plotting, where everyone has their own goals and is trying different things to achieve those goals, a place where no one cares about anyone but themselves, Nobody knew about this suspicious behaviour of Allura Skyfall. And since nobody knew, Nothing was suspicious. Everything was as normal as it could possibly be. Normal indeed. "Stop the carriage." While Allura was lost in her thoughts, the carriage was stopped. The doors of the carriage were opened and Allura's protectors appeared. "Lady Allura, I think we should return." One of the protectors suggested. "Huh? Why? What happened?" Allura questioned with a frown. She could see that the protector wasn't just saying it so he could ease his work, rather, he looked worried about something. "This place is too quiet. I have a bad feeling about this. Bruce has gone ahead to check the place, but I still feel it is wiser to return." The protector informed. Allura frowned, she wanted to nod since she didn't want to take any needless risks. 'But the lunch…' She was conflicted, she wanted to meet Nux as well, he promised that he would give her an interesting book after all. "William, we should leave." However, before she could think too much, Bruce, the other protector, returned and spoke hurriedly. "What happened?" William questioned. "I checked everything ahead, it is eerily silent. I checked the houses but no one was inside, all the houses are empty, this is a busy area, something like this is definitely not normal. I don't know what is happening, but I suggest we should leave this place as soon as possible," Bruce reported. "Alright, we will return." William's face turned solemn and he nodded. This time, he didn't even ask Allura's permission. For them, her safety mattered the most. This situation was suspicious, to avoid unnecessary danger, they would have to act on their own, even if it offends Lady Allura. 'But the book…' Allura wanted to deny, however, she knew she wouldn't be able to change her protectors' minds. She would have to miss her lunch today. A sad look appeared on Allura's face, however, Suddenly, a black figure rushed toward William and aimed its dagger at his neck, William reacted at the last second and blocked the attack. "Who are you!?" Bruce questioned out loud. However, rather than answering, another figure wearing black clothes appeared behind Bruce and attacked. Just like William, Bruce dodged the attack. "They are both grandmasters!" William shouted! He was having a hard time against his opponent; the same could be said for Bruce as well. These opponents were unusually quick and flexible. They were not normal Grand Master Stage Cultivators, they were trained assassins. "Do not kill them, we need them alive." Suddenly, William and Bruce heard a voice that belonged to a female, they turned a little and saw a female wearing a skin-tight black dress and a mask that covered half of her face. She was watching everything with a calm look on her face and from the aura around her, it was clear that she was the leader. "Who are you!? Why are you doing this!? Do you know who we are!?" William questioned, however, the female assassin did not answer. Actually, only a fool will answer. And only a fool will play question answers while they were fighting. "Ughhh!" Since he was distracted, William was unable to dodge one attack and his opponent's dagger grazed her shoulder. William groaned in pain and his focus shifted to his injury for a second. Another thing only a fool would do. The assassin did throw away this opportunity and attacked again. "Ugghhhh" Another cut appeared on William's body. Bruce on the other hand was doing fine, actually, he was even suppressing his opponent that seemed to be a woman as well. However, he was the least bit happy. The leader hasn't moved at all. It was as if she was sure of the victory. This would be problematic. Bruce started thinking about different ways to deal with the situation. As if angered by how he was ignoring her, the assassin fighting Bruce quickened her attacks and Bruce was forced to step back. Allura, who was watching everything had a tensed look on her face. *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* Suddenly, she heard a knock, she turned around and saw the carriage door has been opened. She panicked when she saw a man wearing clothes similar to the one attacking William and Bruce standing in front of her. The man didn't say anything, he just picked her up and placed her on his shoulder as if she was a potato sack. Then, he started running. "Save me!" Allura screamed in fear and panic. William and Bruce, who were fighting the assassins quickly turned around and their eyes widened, "Lady Allura was Kidnapped!"
