The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 87 - The Duke Of Agera Pt. 2

A cloaked figure of a man leaning on top of a tree gazed at the three ladies frolicking around the field. His purple eyes were particularly nailed to one person, the woman who possessed the whitest hair he had ever seen.

Lukas was intrigued by the woman who possessed strange powers. It doesn't look like she was aware of it at all. He was a few feet away from them now, hidden in the shadows. And from that proximity, his anima began to stir, purring at him.

His head tilted to the side and opened his right palm. A dark fire danced atop it, and Lukas could feel its yearning.

Then, he got surprised when she suddenly turned. He watched as her red eyes narrowed suspiciously on the trees. She was glancing in the direction not far from where he was standing and got fascinated.

.

'Not bad...'

Lukas had not met someone as perceiving as her, to the point that she could feel him staring. Usually, the person wouldn't know and wouldn't be able to feel him. But this woman has sharp senses, unlike others.

His two guards were both adept killers, but they had never felt him appearing, not once. This woman did what the two had not, which is very impressive.

"Really interesting..." Lukas muttered and watched them get smaller in the distance.

He had meant to find answers about the strange thing that happened a day ago and went to see her himself. He had no trouble getting in at all, which is already expected. No one can stop him even if they did anyway.

Lukas had first watched her from her open window and saw her still deep in sleep. Even at that distance, he felt a faint magnetic force pulling him in. His anima stirred as if it had felt her.

Lukas was again puzzled. Indeed, it is truly strange.

He remained on top of one tree and continued watching the sleeping woman. It was almost afternoon, but she was still not awake, and Lukas got bored. He wanted to storm in and get closer to her, to know if the reaction of his anima would be greater.

He then saw two carriages that stopped in front of the mansion, and two ladies got out on each of them.

He only glanced at them for a second, not interested at all. Just then, one of her maids woke her up, upon the arrival of the two. She disappeared for a while, then saw her walking out of the mansion with those two in tow. He followed them, still hiding within the shadows.

They were in the garden, talking. Lukas had no interest in hearing their topic, so he zoned out, and kept observing her instead.

Even in the distance, his eyes could see her clearly. He has the sharpest senses, unlike the others. He could hear sounds and voices and see things, three times more than a normal individual. Thus, even without getting closer to a target, he could spy on them just fine.

This is why he noted that the picture didn't give justice to the real thing at all. She looks better.

The three of them then started leaving their table. Lukas had lost track of what they were talking about, thus, he tuned in again and heard that they were going to the stables.

He followed them again, sneering at the secret guards he had passed by. They had no idea that he was there and spying on them, which is laughable. That red-haired guy though, probably their captain, had seemed vigilant. He was sure that he didn't feel him, but his guts might be telling him something, which is why he was alert.

Lukas continued observing her, even after they started doing what they call a race.

'They are all slow.' he commented.
