10. The Belladonna Twins

" Nice to see you too, Emily. Where is my brother ? " I asked as she approached me.

" Follow me," she led me through the bookshelfs full of reports to the very back where I saw Finn and my brother.

After Emily's job was done, she made a small bow and walked back to do her tasks. " Am I interrupting you, brother ? " I asked when I saw those two discussing something.

" Not at all, I just finished. " He said with open arms gesturing for a hug, and I complied. After a while, he released me. " What were you doing when you were gone ? " He asked.

" Evania Academy, 3rd grade." I liked my brother because he let me do what I wanted, and he understood easily.

" Why did you come back ? " he asked as we both started walking towards the dining hall. " I will go hunting to the chaosworld, and I need to come back in time for the second written test, or I will be kicked out,"

" I see, I will get you something. How long are you planning to stay ? " I replied, " Tomorrow afternoon, I'm leaving, and I'm making a stop at Belladonna. "

' Belladonna was the Duke family of The Great Empire of Darkness. They also supported us by providing poison since that is their bloodline.

' They were born with poison imunity, so they were able to devour all kinds of poisons, so now they have poison flowing through their veins. Not to mention, the poison in their veins is now the most lethal poison in the world. '

' They also serve as great medics, there were countless times where someone wanted to poison us or other royalty and they were saved by non other then The Dukal Belladonna family. '

' They're also fine folks that aren't power-hungry and just go about their things and interests. I know since the Belladonna twins, Sabel and Cortney are my childhood friends and one of the few people who were aware of my existence. '

My brother and I were both served dinner. My brother wasn't a big fan of deserts, unlike me, so he gave me a kiss on the forehead and left to work again. After I finished, I wiped my mouth with a napkin and headed back to Finns office. There, I met Emily again and asked her to give me everything that had been going on between the two princes of th Great Empire of Light by tomorrow morning. '

' I went to my room and changed to shorts and a T-shirt. After that, I dived into my bed, and it felt like heaven ! ' It didn't take me long to fall asleep.

The next day...

I woke up to the sound of crows croaking outside my window. ' How do morning people even exist. ' I complained as I didn't want to get out of bed. In the end I had to since I couldn't stay here and I'm thight on time.

After I got out of my bed and put on my usual clothes with my mask being on the upper right side of my head. I walked down the hallway to Finn's office, aka. information storage. There, I met Emily, who gave me a pile of papers with a sweet good morning.

' The first prince of the Great Empire of Light Samuel Luminous, he is the only child to the current empress Agata. Her mother was known for her cruelty, and her son got it from her. He got his mother's side support that isn't weak at all as his mother is the only princess of the Dukal house, Maren. '

He is good at handling problems and is great at academics he is also only 20 years old and single. He is not very sociable, so he didn't make many connections in the noble circle through his mother's side support made it up for him. He is also better at handling the sword than his half-brother Murray.

' Murray Luminous was born to the emperors only concubine Mary Adren she is the first daughter of Marquis Adren. Concubine Mary is obsessed with the emperor and loves her son, who looks like him and has the emperors golden hair and eyes. His personality is of a two faced bitch that he got from his mother. '

' Murray showed signs of talent in mastering the light bloodline, but as a total opposite to his brother, he wasn't so good with swords. That wasn't the only thing they were polar opposites at. As if his mother's side support was already not enough, he made a lot of connections with other nobles thanks to his very likable and social personality. '

' Currently, the favor of nobles is on Murray's side, but the emperor does not show any kind of favor to any of the two princes. Even if Murray has the favor of most of the nobles in the high sociality he still isn't as smart as his brother and good at dealing with problem and the overall work as one of the contesters for the throne. '

' But he wasn't left behind thanks to his talent in manipulating people. He ruined a lot of his brothers planes by playing his cards right. ' I read some more information about their current moves and their power struggles.

Before I knew it, it was already lunchtime. I had some kobe beef, and after we finished eating. ' My brother gave me a countdown breaclet. It wasn't really expensive for me to buy but it was highly in demand so they were always out of stock and I can't wait that long. '

' The mechanism worked that we put our mana in it and push the small lever in the breaclet as far as we need. The mana that naturally seeps out of the breaclet will make the lever slowly move back. So I can just put enough mana on 30 days, and when the lever hits the red line, it means I should go back. '

I thanked my brother and bit him goodbye as I headed out to Belladonna. ' It will be nice to see Sabel and Cortney again '

The Belladonna family knew about my arrival, so when I was at their front gate, Sable and Cortney greeted me with a hug. " I missed u so much !! " Cortney yelled.

" Same here. What were you doing to not come visit us sooner ? " Sabel asked. " I was fooling around at the Evania Academy, " I said and couldn't help but wonder, " Why are you two not attending ? "

" Humph, unlike you, we have to learn our families poison arts ! What would you do if your biggest supporters won't know how to make poison ! " Cortney retorted.

" That's right, I have been studying medicine nonstop, and Courtney is always training and experimenting with poison ! " Sabel joined her sister.

I laughed and patted they're heads making their hair messy. " Haha, good job, guys, you did well. "

After they released me from the hug, they took me inside, and Cortney was excited to show me her new created poisons, so she took us to her laboratory.

" Look, look, I managed to create a poison that will make the mana flow in your body break and domethig that will also stop your blood circulation ! " She said as she showed me two full boxes of lethal poison. " And here is the antidote," she said as she took out another two boxes.

I beamed them to my space ring and thanked her. " By the way, do you have any poison that will make someone sleep for a day or two ? In a gas form, if possible ? "

" Yes, I do actually, but not many, " she said as she handed me seven bombs. " That's more than enough, thanks. "

" No problem, but the next time you visit, don't forget to tell me how they worked ! " She said with a smile when we all heard a knock on the door and Sabel went to open it.

Two maids came walking in with four boxes each. The boxes were filled with poison and antidotes.

" Our mother is currently out, so she left these boxes for you. These are the poisons you usually use. " sabel said as he gestured me to take them. " Tell my greetings and thanks to your mom. "

After I was done on what I came here for, we sat down in the guest room and did some catching up with each other as I was waiting for the sun to go down as it is safer and easier for me to move in the dark.

After we were done chatting, we gave each other a hug, as they sended me on my way. I put on my mask and went back to Evania.
