Silence filled the surroundings, the old man, Elder Cryzton stopped and didn't continue what he wanted to say, he looked at Zaiveil in an awkward and embarrassing silence. The moonlight cast a silver glow on his transparent face, highlighting the lines of age and wisdom.
The air was thick with tension, and Zaiveil's eyes seemed to bore into his soul.
"Tell me everything, after I dealt with them." Zaiveil said firmly, her voice breaking the silence like a knife. She took her phone to answer the phone call that's been ringing for quite a while, the sound echoing through the stillness of the night like a persistent whisper.
"My lady, where are you?! The coronation will begin in a minute, Lord and Madame Crosanta are waiting, they want you here asap!" said from the other line of the phone, the tone was urging and quietly angry, the call came from the Head Butler of Crosanta, Butler Liro, the right-hand man of her so called father, Leo Crosanta.
The sound of the butler's voice was like a cold breeze on a winter's night, but Zaiveil expression remained unchanged line a mask of ice.
"I won't come." Zaiveil coldly said, her words making the other line pause, seeming like bewildered by her statement.
"Pardon my lady, but what do you mean? Are you rebelling?! If you don't want to suffer from the lord's wrath, then be here asap!" the voice from the other line shouted, Butler Liro was angry hearing the words that came from the cold and emotionless voice of Zaiveil.
The anger in the butler's voice was noticable, but Zaiveil's expression didn't change, her eyes remained as cold as the moon above.
"No coronation would happen tonight, because Crosantas downfall would happen now." Zaiveil stated, her words sending a chill down the spine of the listener.
Butler Liro was taken aback, he didn't expect that such words would come from Zaiveil, the girl they've seen growing up, the girl they thought they had control over.
"You're making a big mistake, my lady." Butler Liro said, his voice low and menacing.
"The Crosantas won't forgive you for this." he added
Zaiveil's lips curled into a small, cold smile. "I'm not asking for forgiveness, cause they aren't worthy." she said not bothering at all at the warning made by the Butler.
No one spoke on the other side of the phone, so Zaiveil decided to hang up the call, but before she could do that, a voice of a man full of dangerous aura was heard.
"What did you say? You got guts now to go against us, you become full of yourself now huh, Zaiveil." the voice that suddenly spoke was full of danger, seemingly not taking her words seriously but warning her.
It's Leo Crosanta, the head of Crosanta Family and the most powerful Lord of the Underground organizations, his voice was like a crack of thunder, making Zaiveil's phone vibrate in her hand.
"Too late Lord Crosanta, because the monsters time is up in
3…
2…
and 1,
have fun, enjoy my lovely gift to you guys." Zaiveil said while looking at her phone and at the time that reached the 12 midnight.
The sound of the clock striking midnight was like a death knell, echoing through the night, and Zaiveil's words were like a declaration of war.
"Lord, it's not good, the soldiers have surrounded us!" a panicked voice shouted in the background.
"Fuck, the social media exploded with the news and evidences of our crimes!" another voice yelled.
"Lord, the Madame was injured!" a woman's voice cried out.
The other side of the phone was in chaos, the people were panicking and couldn't believe what happened.
"What?! How did this happen?!" Leo Crosanta roared, his voice shaking with rage.
"Lord, the security team is trying to contain the situation, but it's too late, we're now surrounded." Butler Liro said, his voice trembling.
"Get Madame Klea to safety, now!" Leo Crosanta shouted, his voice like a whip.
"Yes, Lord!" Butler Liro replied, his voice urgent.
Hearing the reports from his subordinates, the once calm Leo Crosanta uttered a curse and shouted at Zaiveil.
"Fuck it, what did you do?! You really want to go against us?! Damn you Zaiveil! just wait! I'll kill you." that was the last line Zaiveil heard after the phone was hung up.
Zaiveil looked at the moon and stars, her beautiful face was filled with the shine of the moonlight, no emotions can be seen at her face, but her eyes fluctuated, just like the old saying 'eyes never lie'.
She gave a one last look at the sky, then looked at Elder Cryzton, who's been watching her silently since earlier.
"I need to go now, I'll be back here after I end the chaos of those monsters." Zaiveil said while looking at Elder Cryzton.
"No, you can't leave."
