Chapter 18 - CHAPTER 17: THE DECISION

Noir and her family sit at the dining table eating breakfast quietly. They still feel Noir mad at them and just waiting for her to speak. Noir gaze toward Raven and Frost that sitting in front of her as she didn't approve their action of following her back here. Raven and Frost on the other hand tried to avoid her gaze and just look at their foods.

"I'm going out. We talk about this later. You two come with me." she pointed toward Raven and Frost to follow her out. Both of them nod and trail her from behind.

"She's scarier than you." Lapis sighed toward his wife.

"At least we stop fighting for nonsense reason. I never know her power is already at that level. I'm afraid they found her, dear." Jade concerned.

"We will protect her. She's the only Untamed Dualist in our family. She inherits both of our power." Lapis said.

****************************************************************************

Noir walking around aimlessly without talking to both Raven and Frost. Both of them just follow Noir wherever she goes. The truth is Noir using them for her to get information around the town regarding Black Serpent while making her looks like giving tour to both of them. Luckily, she did gain a few information and stop at the cafe near the fountain to have some lunch. The three of them quietly eating lunch when Gris and the other three Noir childhood friends come greet them. They decide to sit at the fountain hut and thinking more idea to solve Noir problem.

"I don't think all of your suggestions can help her. I think my idea yesterday much better." Gris said.

"Where did you going to find that kind of guy? Noble won't come to this small town." Ciano said making Raven interested.

"What idea?" He asked after both him and Frost just stay silent listening to his sister's friend idea.

"Marrying a higher status man than Celeste father, the Baron of Epiphyllum Town." Oliva replied.

"Where can we find a guy like that?" Frost interrupted.

"If we can find a royalty, that's much better." Vino jokes earning a glare from Oliva.

"A royal blood?" Noir suddenly realised. She looks at Raven and Raven also understand Noir gaze toward him. Both of them looks at Frost making him feel uneasy. Smirks crave on both sibling's face.

"What is it? Your smile really creeping me up." Frost feels uncomfortable from both of their gaze.

"Are you sure, sis?" Raven asked earning a puzzled from all of Noir friends and Frost.

"Yes. But if come to worst I run away with mom even dad can't stop me." Noir determined. Raven widens his eyes after hearing Noir decision.

"Fine. Where should we find him?" Raven said with a sigh. 

"Who's you're talking about?" Vino asked. Gris and Frost also wonder while Oliva and Ciano look toward the crowd and saw someone. 

"He's the one we bumped into yesterday. Where the other guy?" Oliva said to Ciano making Gris wondered. 

"What guy?" Gris asked as he also look toward the crowd. He saw a guy looking at the fruits stall and asking the vendor about the price.

"He's an outsider. What about that guy?" Gris puzzled. 

"Yesterday, when we split up to find Noir, both of us bumped into that guy with his friend. I think they are new here." Ciano replied. 

"What you all talk about?" Earning a puzzled from Noir. 

"That guy over there." Oliva point toward the guy she mentions of. Noir widen her eyes. A smile plaster on her face. 

"That's Nero." Frost said when he spots Nero at the fruit stall. 

"Raven, Frost, go kidnap him and bring him here." Noir ordered. Frost looks at Noir and realises Noir crazy plan. 

"Are you serious, sister Noir? You sure? You won't regret it, are you?" Frost asked for confirmation.

"I think this is the only way. His decision will affect it. Bring Nero here and we execute this plan tonight." Noir answered. 

"He's going to kill me." Frost sighed. 

"Don't worry, I will protect you. Trust me. You two go now." Noir said earing a puzzled from her childhood friends. 

"Yes, ma'am!" Raven and Frost said in unison. 

Meanwhile...

"Noir, what are your plan really?" Gris asked after Raven and Frost run toward the crowd to capture Nero. 

"Well, I will getting married tonight." Noir replied with a smile making her four friends shocked. 

"If I'm married, Celeste cannot propose to me, and they cannot touch my family either." Noir said making her friends dumbfounded. 

"Are you serious, girl?" Oliva asked. The others look toward Noir. Noir nodded.

"Gris, Oliva, Ciano, Vino ask your father to come to my place tonight. Tell them I want them to be our witness in discussing the marriage proposal from Celeste. If your mom wants to join, it is much better. Gris your dad a solemnizer, bring his working thing to my place without him notice." Noir explained her plan.

" Your serious want to marry that guy? The one you ask your brother and his friend to kidnap?" Ciano asked to confirm.

"Not him but the other guy with him. Both of you meet him yesterday, right?" Noir replied making Oliva widen her eyes.

"You mean that tall handsome guy?! That guy that screams noble vibe? You know him are you, Noir?" Oliva surprised.

"Yes. That's why I choose him." Noir said with a blush on her face.

"I never know our she-devil can falling in love. That's guy really is crazy one." Gris said earning a slap from Noir on his forearm.

****************************************************************************

Raven and Frost drag Nero side by side towards Noir and her friends. Frost smile happily when he knows Noir want to marry his brother after Raven explain more about his sister crazy plan before they reach Nero. Nero feeling uneasy when he saw the two of them smile brightly. Then three of them stop in front of Noir while Raven and Frost release their grip from Nero arms.

"Lady Noir? What really happen here?" Nero feels more uneasy when he saw Noir smile widely to him.

"Good job you two for kidnap Nero for me. You two go tell Mint and Winter about my plan and keep it secret from mom and dad." Noir ordered and both of them nod agreed with her plan and salute to her before went to find Mint and Winter.

"Lady Noir? What's going on here?" Nero become more alert.

"I need your cooperation, Nero. Become my victim and tell Luz to come rescue you." Noir said making Nero shocked.

"But why? Do you want to hurt my lord again?" Nero said disagreed with Noir while he's alert with Noir.

"No, I want to marry him. Tonight." Noir confessed making Nero dumbfounded.

"What?! What in the world? That's crazy. You know he won't agree." Nero said.

"Nero, I know he will not agree with this crazy plan but this is my last chance. Either we marry tonight or all of you won't see me again in this kingdom. The Baron will kick my mom out from Elem Kingdom and if you ask me, I will choose to go with my mom. Not even my dad, my siblings and the Alliance can stop me." Noir clarified.

"Why your mom will be kick out?" Nero wondered.

"She is from Dark Kingdom, Nero. Just like you." Noir replied making Nero widen his eyes.

"You know?" Nero surprised.

"I saw you using dark power the other day. You won't use it unless your master in danger or you need to use it, right? That's why you prefer to use sword rather than your power." Noir replied. Nero look down with guilty.

"How long that you already know?" Nero asked with low tone.

"From the first day you come to my mansion." Noir replied. Nero sighed.

"Fine! Are you sure you can make my master happy? I honestly still feeling resentment toward you, Lady Noir. I clearly remember how heartbroken he is that day. " Nero said.

"If he let me. If he doesn't want to, then what choice I have? I would never blame you or him, and I accept my fate." Noir determined. Nero shocked.

"Alright my lady, what your plan?" Nero asked while Noir smirked.

Noir told her plan to Nero and her other four friends. They all listen and sometimes add some idea to her plan.

"I bring the ring tonight. Do you know what size he is use?" Ciano asked.

"Better you bring the one that adjustable." Noir said.

"Fine, I will find something good from my mom jewellery store." Ciano replied.

"Just charge to my card." Noir added.

"Alright, girl." Ciano thumbs up.

After they all finalised the plan, they all split up with Noir and Nero. After that Nero and Noir going toward Mint's tavern.

Luz just finish his job for that day and went to the inn where he and Nero stay. After walk into their room, he wonders Nero whereabouts. A knock at his door makes him walk toward it and open up. The inn staff give him an envelope. He thanks him and closes the door. Luz opened the envelope and found a phone in it. He opens it and widens his eyes when he saw a message and a photo of Nero being tie up appear on the screen.
