Reincarnation of The Villainess: She Has The Duke's Baby!-Chapter 137: #-Please, Save Ethan Askary!

Moments before Ethan Askary was attacked by Sebastian De Louis...

Isabella Lysander suddenly fell to her knees, making the Abelavish imperial palace maid assigned by Helios Rune Abelavish startle and scream.

The maid, Amy, immediately approached Isabella and knelt beside her. The woman checked Isabella’s condition and was grateful that she was not injured. Even so, Amy felt confused because Isabella’s body was trembling violently and her face was pale. It was as if all the blood that was in Isabella’s body was sucked out.

"Lady Isabella, are you all right?" asked Amy in a worried tone. "Lady, your face is very pale. Are you hurt?"

However, Isabella did not answer. The woman started to shed tears. Then, Isabella sobbed and the woman cried even more. Amy panicked because Isabella looked so hysterical.

"What is going on?"

Amy turned her head when she heard the question. She immediately stood up when she saw Helios Rune Abelavish running toward her and Isabella Lysander. Behind the Crown Prince, Jeremy faithfully followed. Helios immediately knelt in front of Isabella and looked at Amy, who lowered her head. The maid looked really scared.

"You, tell me what happened to Lady Isabella," said Helios in a stern tone. Amy swallowed hard and bit her lip. Seeing that, Jeremy took a deep breath and held Amy’s shoulder. He smiled.

"Relax, the Crown Prince is not scolding you."

Amy nodded and cleared her throat. "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince. I don’t know what happened to Lady Isabella, Your Highness. Lady Isabella suddenly fell to her knees and burst into tears like this. I have checked Lady Isabella but Lady Isabella has no injuries on her body."

Hearing that, Helios immediately understood what was happening to Isabella. It was the same as when Isabella dropped the glass in the guest room that the woman used in this palace.

"Lady Isabella, what did you see?" Helios asked. Because Isabella was silent and continued to cry, Helios was forced to cup her face and lift her face so that Isabella would look into his eyes. "Look at me and answer my questions, Isabella Lysander. Instead of crying in fear like this, wouldn’t it be much better if you told me what vision you received and we could immediately prevent that from happening?"

Isabella bit her lips and tried to calm down. It was quite difficult because she really didn’t know what to do. Her heart was beating twice as fast as usual. Her body felt cold and wouldn’t stop shaking. But, what Helios said was true. She must prevent this and save Ethan Askary, the man she loves.

"I..." Isabella tried to speak.

"Calm yourself," said Helios. "Inhale and exhale slowly. I am here. Nothing will ever hurt you. Do you want to drink some water first?"

Isabella shook her head firmly. "Your Highness, Sebastian De Louis killed Ethan Askary!"

Hearing that, Helios and Jeremy widened their eyes and froze. Meanwhile, Amy gasped and covered her mouth with both hands. There is indeed information circulating in the palace that the guest of the Crown Prince, the woman loved by Prince Ethan, the eldest son of Duke Askary of the De Louis empire, has unique abilities.

"He brought his seven shadow knights and attacked Ethan who was alone. No one dares to help Ethan, Your Highness. Ethan lay with his body and face covered in wounds on the road. Sebastian stabbed him in the heart with a dagger, Your Highness!" cried Isabella frantically. The woman was crying again. "Please, save Ethan Askary. Don’t let him die, Your Highness. Please. I don’t want to lose him."

Helios growled and clenched his jaw. He stood up and looked at Amy.

"You, take Lady Isabella back to her room and calm her down." The man then left Isabella and Amy. He looked back at Jeremy. "Jeremy, we will immediately find Prince Ethan and save him."

"The location?"

"I will teleport us both to the De Louis imperial square. We’ll start looking for him from there. Today, Prince Ethan intends to visit Lady Isabella. The man must have passed through the capital square. Before that, we will send one of our knights to Gerwyn’s mansion to pass this information on to Duke Edmund."

"Yes, Your Highness," said Jeremy in a submissive tone.

Helios walked while clenching his fists at his sides. His eyes looked cold and sharp.

"That shameless and spoiled man, I really need to teach him a lesson. Should I embarrass him in front of all his Father’s people?" muttered Helios.

"Sarah, isn’t this cake very delicious?"

Penelope munched on the cakes that had been prepared by the chef at Gerwyn’s mansion, which were the same as the cakes sent by Philleo Aaron. She looked at the twins, who were in the stroller and were enjoying their milk from a baby bottle. Penelope smiled. Her eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for Philleo Aaron, who must be watching her and the twins from a hidden place.

"You are right, Duchess." As usual, Sarah carried out her role very well. She had replaced all the cakes and warned the people in the kitchen not to touch, let alone eat, the cakes in the cake box. "The Duke’s cake was delicious! The Duke loves you very much."

Penelope nodded and laughed. She drank her tea and turned her head around when she felt the magic mana around her. Then, the magic circle appeared not far in front of Penelope, making the woman stand up and reflexively protect the twins. After that, Jellal appeared from his hiding place and took out his sword.

"Duchess, take cover behind me along with Prince Raven and Princess Ocean," Jellal said.

"It’s all right," Penelope said. The woman grabbed Jellal’s shoulders and stepped forward. "It’s not an evil mana. I can feel it because this mana is familiar. It’s like His Highness Helios’ mana."

Jellal raised an eyebrow. Since his Duchess learned magic from Claude Sylvester, Jellal thought that his Duchess was much more sensitive to mana and magic.

A knight in the special uniform of the Abelavish imperial palace appeared. The man immediately knelt to greet Penelope.

"I was sent by His Highness Helios to deliver a message to Duke Edmund and Duchess Penelope," said the man. "Lady Isabella had a vision while at the palace, Duchess. Lady Isabella said that His Highness Crown Prince Sebastian De Louis attacked Prince Ethan Askary. He ordered his seven shadow knights to attack Prince Ethan and stab Prince Ethan’s heart with a dagger. Right now, His Highness Helios and Sir Jeremy are looking for Prince Ethan’s whereabouts to save him."

Hearing that information, Sarah covered her mouth with both hands. He immediately caught Penelope Askary’s falling body. She took a step back before losing her balance and falling.

"He... killed my older brother...?" Penelope muttered. The woman started crying and hysterical. Penelope shook her head frantically and screamed. "Older brother! Brother Ethan! He killed my older brother!"

"Chris!" shouted Jellal. Jellal waited quite a while because Chris didn’t seem to be around the Duchess. When Chris appeared and he saw the state of his Duchess, the man froze.

"Duchess? What happened?" asked Chris, confused.

"Chris, hurry, go to the Duke’s place! The Duke is conducting an inspection near the square, isn’t he?"

"What? Why?"

Jellal pointed at Helios’ knight. "He was sent by the Crown Prince Helios, Chris. Lady Isabella had a vision that Prince Ethan was killed by Crown Prince Sebastian!"

"What?" Chris blinked.

"Chris! There’s no time to be confused! Quickly, tell this to the Duke!"

Chris nodded and immediately disappeared. Jellal knelt in front of Penelope and tried to help Sarah to calm Penelope. Helios’ knight still knelt where he was and looked down, not knowing what to do. But, he felt sad when he saw Penelope crying in fear like this.

"Jellal, help me." Penelope tried to stand up and Sarah immediately helped her. The woman wiped the tears from her face roughly. "Help me to get revenge."

"Yes?"

"I will take revenge," Penelope growled. "I will torture and hurt Sebastian De Louis! I won’t just stay silent when I know he killed my older brother!"

"Duchess?" called Jellal and Sarah together. The two of them looked at each other and started to panic because there was such a black and scary aura around Penelope. Even Helios’ knight immediately stood up and became alert. He approaches the twins’ stroller, intending to protect them.

Penelope couldn’t hear Jellal and Sarah’s words. The anger inside her was so great, she couldn’t control herself or recognize anyone. Penelope glanced briefly at Sarah and Jellal, then the woman suddenly disappeared after a black magic circle appeared under her feet.

"Sir Jellal, Duchess—"

"Calm down, Sarah," Jellal said. "I will try to track down the Duchess."

"Could it be that Duchess Penelope went to Prince Ethan’s place?"

Jellal immediately looked at Helios’ knight.

"His Highness Helios said that it was very likely that Prince Ethan was attacked in the De Louis imperial square."

Jellal immediately grabbed the knight’s arm and said, "You will come with me!"

Then, the two men disappeared because of Jellal’s teleportation magic.

"Duke, isn’t it very noisy over there?"

Edmund raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction Edgar was pointing. The man took a deep breath and nodded.

"You are right. Maybe something happened." Edmund looked at Edgar. "How about we check the situation over there? I—"

"Duke!"

The exclamation made Edmund turn his head around and frown when he saw Chris who suddenly appeared. The shadow knight ran toward him with a pale face and a panicked look. For some reason, Edmund immediately worried about the condition of Penelope and his children. However, Edmund was sure that all the knights in his mansion would protect Penelope and the twins.

"Chris? What is going on?" asked Edmund in a firm tone. "Did something happen at the mansion?"

"The Duchess is crying, Duke," Chris reported. "His Highness Helios’s knight appeared and delivered the message that Lady Isabella saw Crown Prince Sebastian kill Prince Ethan!"

Edmund and Edgar froze and widened their eyes. The Duke immediately looked at the commotion in the distance and immediately ran over there. Edgar and Chris followed behind him. Edmund told everyone to get out of the way and his eyes widened again when he saw Ethan Askary lying with his body covered in blood. There is a dagger in his left chest. The man’s eyes were closed and his face was extremely pale. Beside Ethan, Helios and Jeremy tried to get Ethan to open his eyes.

"ETHAN!" shouted Edmund. The Duke immediately knelt beside Helios and shook his brother-in-law’s body. Helios, who was surprised by Edmund’s sudden appearance, focused again on Ethan. "Your Highness, how is Ethan’s condition?"

"I don’t know, Duke," Helios shook his head. "I just arrived here after getting information from Lady Isabella. As soon as I arrived, Prince Ethan was already like this."

Suddenly, everyone screamed. Edmund and Helios turned their heads, then stood up. People were already lying on the street, groaning in pain. Some of them fainted and cried in fear. Frightened as a black light, as well as a black magic circle, appeared in the middle of the streets. Then, the figure of Penelope Askary appeared, making Edmund and Helios widen their eyes. The two men stood up and stared at Penelope walking toward them with disbelief.

"Penny?" Edmund tried to approach Penelope but Helios held his arm. The man shook his head, forbidding Edmund to approach Penelope. "Your Highness?"

"It’s dark magic, Duke," Helios whispered. "That’s a very dangerous magic."

"What?" Edmund looked at Penelope walking toward Ethan. Then, the woman knelt beside Ethan and hugged her older brother. Penelope cried and stroked Ethan’s face.

"Older brother...," called Penelope. "Brother, open your eyes. It’s me, your little sister whom you love so much. You remember me, don’t you?" Penelope then saw the dagger in Ethan’s left chest. "Do you feel pain from this dagger? I will remove this dagger from your heart." The woman immediately drew the dagger on Ethan’s left chest. Then, Penelope put her hand on Ethan’s left chest and the blood on the man’s left chest slowly disappeared. The wound on his left chest began to heal. Ethan’s face was no longer pale and the man was breathing again.

"Penny?" Edmund gulped. He saw Penelope stand up and walk away. "Penny, where are you going?!"

Penelope stopped walking and turned her head around. The woman tilted her head and smiled coldly at Edmund.

"I’m going to hunt down Sebastian De Louis, torture him, and then kill him."
