Foxy Venus; Again

---

"The Duke... Will ask for marriage."

-----

Estelle sat on small couch connected to the wall, in front of an open window. She wore an asymmetrical dress for she does not feel comfortable with a gown. It has been a few days since the encounter with the Duke of Lennox, yet there has been no news over a marriage proposal. The feeling of uncertainty was driving Estelle mad, yet she stayed calm and haven't killed anyone in coldblooded.

Estelle stared at the people that come and go from below. They were preparing for a party to welcome guest from the neighboring kingdom. They were too busy, and if the Duke of Lennox announce his plans now, a lot of things would spoil Estelle's plan for revenge. She must make those people who hurt her vessel crawl to the ground, begging for freedom.

"I need to train this body so that I can accomplish my goal." Estelle said.

When the sun finally touched her body, she stood up and walked towards the door. She was about to reach out on the doorknob but then she stopped.

'My hair will draw attention.'

Estelle used her magic to make her hair shorter and of a bright brownish color, changing the color of her eyes as well in the process, from gold into brown.

When she knew nobody's presence was outside, she swiftly left the palace, through the front door. With her assassination skills that she had picked up from her past lives, it's uncommon for normal people to detect her existence. Nobody was alarmed of the disappearance of the kingdom's 6th princess. Nobody cared for Ivory's existence anyways.

Since the clothing she choose was decorated in simple embroidery. Estelle was like a normal person walking the bustling streets of the Kingdom's capital, Alexander. Yet it was not the clothing that drew attention towards her. It was her aura and face. Though she was a ghost princess that everybody gossips about as unwanted, she was born with striking beauty. If anyone would have seen her in her white hair and golden eyes, anyone would have been captivated by her. Now with her bright brownish hair, she earned another name.

Foxy Venus. FV for short. Estelle used her new name and went into the rundown street of Amon or the Devil's quarter. It was all where illegal stuff happens. It is quite famous over Nobles that was with the Emperor when he went against the previous Emperor.

According to Ivory's memories, the ruler of this kingdom is a tyrant. But the Emperor does not abuse innocent people. As for the people who dares to be rude to him, he tortures and slaughters them in the most cruel way as possible. Usually some guys who wants to go against the ruler is the one who runs a place like this, but this place was ruled by the Emperor himself. There is another citizenship in the kingdom that is only limited to the people of the Underworld such as assassins and killers.

Estelle was in dire need of money, and she does not want to use the money from the palace. She needed to cool off her bloodlust somewhere else.

When Estelle first stepped into the street of Amon, she used her magic to change her clothing into black and cover herself with a black coat. She also wore a mask to hide her identity. The mask does not have a single hole for the eyes or for the nose. Estelle used her senses and magic to guide her way through the dark street.

It was filled with merchants and criminal who reeked of blood. The smell made Estelle's body trembled in pleasure.

'I too, want to cover myself in living creature's blood'. Yet she have to control herself. Work always needs to be prioritized.

Estelle went into the Bloody guild. It was a place where travelers, killers and other people earn money from accomplishing a given task and rewarded with a large number of money as noted in the poster. The guild was full of men, holding their weapons, scavenging through posted papers on the walls. All Estelle had to do was to pick a poster and take that piece of paper to the counter and register the needed information then go on to finish the task. Once finish, bring the specific object to the guild as proof of finishing the task.

"Griffin's feathers; A book from the Eagle rock's library" Estelle skimmed through the paper's with magic vision as she walked across the people who were crowding the walls. Estelle went ahead to the counter holding a piece of paper.

Estelle slammed the paper into the table, gathering all the attention of the crowd. The man who was in the counter was surprised from the sound, dropping his precious wine glass.

"Yes?" The man asked, changing his expression from shock into annoyed. Estelle ignored him and wrote her new name on the registration form.

"How did you get that?" The man was about to get the paper but Estelle used magic to freeze him from the spot. Not only him but also the people inside the guild.

Estelle used her Black magic to zip everyone's mouth shut as she continues to write on the registration paper, hiding some fact such as her identity of being the kingdom's 6th Princess, her real name and other important stuff. Basically, filling the registration form with Bullshit.

Estelle did not waste time to talk to anyone. After filling her registration, she took the liberty to get the token in which numbered her form. The silence and freezing magic then disappeared when Estelle was already out of the Amon Street.

"Who was that?"

"Hey, can we see her registration?"

"What did she pick?"

All of them gathered by the counter and took the two paper that Estelle left.

"Her name is Foxy Venus."

"An assassin?"

"What was her task?"

All of them looked at the other paper and their faces changed in expression.

"Is she crazy?"

"It is the biggest paid task."

"Want to bet? She'll kill it."
