Chapter 42- The mess of Kamazaki!

My name is Aoi Nakamura.

I am the first heiress of my clan and the daughter of one of the Council Supremes, Nakamura Ichijou.

Since birth, I have been trained as a perfect woman who was destined to marry a powerful and well-accomplished man in the future.

But at the age of ten, I awakened one of the skills which contained endless potential if honed properly. A trait that could have surpassed my brother and the eldest heir of the clan.

Fortunately, no typical clichè drama occurred and I got an allowance to train my techniques and develop my skill so one day I could become the strongest pillar of humanity, just like General Kaori Fujiwara.

I thank my fortune to provide me with such helpful and supportive teammates who despite seeing my shortcomings never belittled me and always encouraged me to move forward.

I also found the love of my life in a boy who was destined to become a legendary figure in the future.

Ryuuta Fujiwara.

There were various things that apart from the upper mentioned fact, makes me attracted to Ryuuta.

His temperament, his smile, the way he clumsily sometimes behaves, and how he always stands in front of every danger to protect me and others were some of the qualities which made me feel conscious of him.

Everything was going fine and I was getting my time to pursue Ryuuta while trying to get stronger passing each day.

But soon things changed when we were provided with the wrong intel and got face-to-face with a Noble Vampire.

I don't remember much of that day since I fell unconscious not long after the battle commence, but from what Ryuuta told us, it seemed someone completely out of nowhere appeared in that mansion to save us.

Black Bounty.

An entity that follows no rules or is not abided by any organization. The being who fears none and does whatever seems right to him.

The Organization and the upped Council were thrown into chaos upon hearing the piece of information which Ryuuta reported.

The blaze haven't even cooled down yet when this situation of Kamazaki heir erupted.

Kamazaki clan's leader, Yorichi Kamazaki is one of the Council Supremes just like my father but on a higher seat.

Definitely, he would have some authority and power to excise for what his son desires.

And the first Heir Minoru Kamazaki desired only one thing.

General Kaori.

His greed nearly took the life of a civilian and very close person to Fujiwara's siblings, Kei-kun.

Surprisingly, Black Bounty appeared again and this time saved Kaori-san from Minoru.

This was the second time Black Bounty didn't kill everyone who came across him. Strange it may sound but there were evidences to support the statement.

Now people assumed that Black Bounty has a certain relationship with Fujiwara that's why this exception happened in the presence of these specific siblings.

People started believing that the Fujiwara's had some kind of protection provided by the Hunter despite the Patriarch denying such a hypothesis.

And to extend that protection to the Kamazaki clan, Yorichi Kamazaki proposed the idea of Minoru's and General Kaori's wedding.

Absurd right?

But that's how things work here.

Instead of offering such a relationship because of Minoru's attraction toward the General, the Clan Elders gave it the name of something entirely different.

But here comes the catch.

Everyone in the underworld knows what prowess General Kaori holds that gives her the liberty to behave however she wants.

She doesn't feel answerable to anyone nor does she consider anything important other than some people who are close to her.

She is just like that and I admire how free-minded General Kaori is.

This developing relationship between Kamazaki and Fujiwara came to an abrupt halt when the General stopped responding to her log all of a sudden. No reports were provided by her after that forceful abduction incident.

She wasn't even responding to the emergency line. Well being in the field for so long she must have ways to know when there's really an emergency and when people are just luring her in.

The matter elevated and soon Red Alert was issued yesterday.

There is a group of specially trained soldiers who have mixed blood running in their bodies and wield unique skills, called The Martials.

They were dispatched for the search for General Kaori. Such elite personnels were released since the council know what monstrous entity they need to capture.

I was undoubtedly nervous to see the tides turning this way that's why I informed Ryuuta as soon as I heard about it.

But…

"...You okay?"

Suddenly I felt a hand over my shoulder as I heard a familiar voice from my left.

It seemed I have been lost in my thoughts too deeply to notice when my brother appeared right beside me.

"Yeah, I am fine. I was just thinking about this whole mess the Kamazakis has spread."

I do have a good relationship with my siblings and especially my big brother to talk about such things freely. And being the eldest one, he knows various things about this situation.

Hearing my words, my brother Satou sighed as he started walking forward with his hand still on my right shoulder. Following his steps, I also began to walk as I heard him speak.

"I know you have a soft corner for Fujiwara but for your own good, I want to tell you something Aoi."

My heartbeat rose slightly since I seldom heard my brother say something so serious.

With a small pause which seemed like an eternity to me, he continued.

"I am not allowed to tell you this… but considering your fondness toward Ryuuta-kun, I think you better know this Aoi. The order which the Martials have actually got is not just to get General Kaori back but… "
