Chapter 293 - Only One Chance (2) (1/2)

Elena collected six spoons in her prison so far. She inspected each of them, their handles sharpened like blades, and a smile of satisfaction spread across her mouth. With these, she could subdue four men in an instant. She picked up one of them and used it to spy on the outside as usual.

Hwaaaag—

She could see the reflection of a large fire on a building far away. For the fire to shine on the spoon, the flames had to be huge.

‘What? What happened?’

Elena tried to observe her surroundings as much as she could.

Tatatatatak.

She heard people running around, and the image on the spoon was blurred as people moved about. With her sharply-trained ears, she also picked up the sound of someone shouting urgently.

“The Blood Assassins’ headquarters are under attack…get reinforcements…hurry!”

She couldn’t hear everything, but she caught enough to understand what was happening. Her eyes turned bright at the astonishing news.

‘The Blood Assassins are under attack? Inside Lunen?’

Elena did not know they worked for Paveluc. Batori was a spy that infiltrated Blaise mansion, and he had brought her as a hostage. That meant that the attackers at the cliff at the time were the Blood Assassins.

‘…I don’t know where I’m imprisoned, but it’s not too far from that Blood Assassins building.’

At that same moment, another realization struck her. If someone was invading Lunen, it was likely because they were rescuing Elena. She turned towards the building with longing eyes.

“Caril…”

She had hoped that he was desperately searching for her, but now that she saw this with her own eyes, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. If they really came to rescue Elena, and they really attacked the building with the Blood Assassins…then it was almost cruel, bad luck she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She didn’t know exactly where the rescue was, but for it to succeed, she had to get over there.

‘…This is serious. What should I do?’

She wanted to yell out the window, but she was too far away for them to hear. There was no other way to signal to the soldiers that she was trapped here. With such a large fire, a large number of Lunen troops would naturally flock to the Blood Assassin’s building. If that happened, the rescue forces would be forced to retreat. Elena could not miss this opportunity.

She touched her flat stomach. The gradual passage of time was a great strain on her. Each day she lived in fear whether someone would notice she was pregnant, or if the pregnancy would take a bad turn.

‘I have to figure something out.’
