CEO In A Fantasy World Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Assassination

*step*

Caesar turned around at the sound of footsteps behind him, a girl with long purple hair and yellow eyes entered his vision.

"Thank you for helping me in this war Ahri" Caesar broke the silence thanked her sincerely.

Ahri stared straight at Caesar's face without a change in expression, suddenly she took a step forward and angrily punched him in the abdomen.

"I was watching your fight from the castle walls, why did you let that elf bit*h go? You could have easily killed her. Don't tell me you fell for her beauty?" Ahri said angrily while gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth.

Caesar grabbed Ahri's waist and brought her close to him, he whispered in her ear "are you jealous?"

"W-who would be jealous, it's just that your troops are risking their lives and your out there flirting with an elf" Ahri's face turned red as she came up with an excuse

Caesar let the girl down and chuckled "those elves follow that princess religiously if I had killed her the elves probably would have continued to attack in an act of revenge"

Suddenly a devious grin appeared on Caesar's face as he leaned down and put a finger on Ahri's mouth

"However, if one of the humans they are allied with were to kill the elf princess what would happen?"

Ahri's face widened in shock before she moved Caesar's finger from her lips and asked: "how are you going to manage that?"

Caesar didn't answer her question and started walking away… Once he was a few feet away from her he looked back slightly and said: "you will see" in a sly tone.

Caesar walked through the frantic people on the street… He could hear crying and laughter.

"*sob* my son was too young"

"Haha, we aren't going to go down without a fight"
"Once this is all over I want to drink until I die"

"Can I get a doctor over here?!?!?"

Many different voices entered into Caesar's ears as he walked through the streets. Soon he arrived at his manor and walked through the door… the normally lit and rowdy manor was dim and quiet.

*step*

His steps echoed throughout the manor as he walked up the stairs to his room…

*creak*

Caesar opened his door and walked towards his closet, he rummaged through his clothes and picked out a pure black outfit, he walked towards his bathroom and looked in the mirror.

He frowned a little bit seeing his conspicuous long white hair so he put it under his clothes and put a black cap on.

Caesar was wearing a completely black suit with black gloves, the black cap hid the hair on top of his head making him less noticeable.

Caesar walked back down the stairs and sat at the dining table. He tapped the table in a rhythmic manner as if he was waiting for something.

*tap*

*tap*

The sunlight that was invading through the window started fading as the sun went down… soon the entire room was pitch black. Caesar waited for another hour patiently until he finally stood up and walked out the door.

The kingdom was quiet, there were no signs of the crowded streets that were present earlier in the day. Caesar walked to the ballista's on top of the kingdom wall.

Caesar stepped next to a sleeping scout and nudged him with his foot "get up" he whispered

"Hmm, huh! M-marshall, what are you doing here?" the sleeping man went wide-eyed once he realized who it was.

Caesar didn't answer his question but instead stepped on the ballista and positioned himself like a bolt.

"I want you to shoot me upwards"

The soldier looked at Caesar dully "what?"

"Pull the lever and shoot me above the enemy camp," Caesar said again but this time with annoyance.

The soldier walked towards the ballista and asked one more time "Marshall, just to get this straight you are asking me to fire you in the sky above the enemy camp as if you were a ballista bolt?"

"Yes" Caesar answered as if it was the most common thing in the world

"Marshall, are you okay? Aren't there easier ways to go about this?" The soldier asked one more time extremely hesitantly

"Just do it already" Caesar ordered

The soldier scratched his head and pulled the lever…

*WHISH*

Caesar's body immediately launched far into the night sky at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

The soldier looked at the spec of dust that should be Caesar and grumbled "I feel like I can rightfully state that I fired the most dangerous bolt in history" as he lied back down and went back to sleep.

Caesar was launched high in the air, he looked down at the many tents and torches below as he started to descend… "hmm, this isn't as far as I thought I would go" Caesar muttered as he was falling down directly in the middle of a camp.

Due to Caesar's dark attire, no one noticed him in the air, went Caesar was about 10 feet above the ground he used his ice magic and froze the water in the air to form a slide.

*crack*

The force from inertia caused the ice to break under Caesar making him fall to the ground… Caesar got up quickly as if nothing happened and moved behind a nearby tent.

"What the h.e.l.l was that noise?"

"I don't know man, probably a bird or something"

"Huh, why are there blocks of ice here?"

"Who knows, must have been the wind"

Caesar quickly breathed a sigh of relief "are all scouts mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded?" he thought to himself and quickly made his way towards the middle of the enemy encampment, he moved swiftly making normal soldiers incapable of even seeing him.

White tents were set up all over the place, most of the soldiers were sleeping but there were a few scouts watching through the night. Caesar snuck pa.s.sed them and soon arrived at the middlemost tent… it was extremely large and painted green, there were two elven guards standing in the middle of the entrance.

A well dressed middle-aged man soon walked towards the two elven guards, the middle-aged man said something making the elven guards nod their heads and allow entry.

Seeing this scene, Caesar smiled widely and silently approached the tent, he formed an ice cube in his hand and threw it a few feet away in the opposite direction

*plop*

One of the elven guards grew alert "what was that?"

"I don't know, let's check it out"

They both moved to where they heard the sound and Caesar quickly moved through the entrance of the tent, once he got through the entrance he crouched down and listened in.

"I am very sorry for your loss," a rough voice said gently

"Thank you for your compa.s.sion, if the chance delivers itself I want to kill that man's myself!" an anger filled gentle voice replied.

"Perhaps, we could arrange a deal"

"A deal?"

"I promise that his head will be yours but you need to give me something in exchange," the middle-aged man said l.u.s.tfully

"What do you want me to give you?" Anna said suspiciously

"Hehe, I want your hand in marriage"

Listening to here. Caesar's smile grew wider, the dagger in his hand flashed as he moved pa.s.sed the tarp in front of him and approached the man's back.

*puch*

The man's eyes turned from l.u.s.tful to surprise as he felt a sharp object pierce through the back of his neck.

*gurgle*

The man put both of his hands on his neck to stop the blood from escaping, he turned around slowly and doubt flashed in his eyes once he saw who stabbed him.

*plop*

His body crumbled and fell to the ground lifeless, Anna looked at this scene dumbfounded before stuttering.

"H-how are you here?" she said fearfully

Caesar didn't give her the chance to scream and grabbed her neck… her beautiful pale face soon went blue, "it's nothing personal girl" Caesar said quietly before a cracking noise was heard

*plop*

Her body fell lifeless to the floor, Caesar ripped her clothes and placed her on the bed… He placed the dead general's body on top of her and placed the b.l.o.o.d.y knife in her hands.

Caesar pulled down the dead generals pants and accurately made it look as though the general tried raping Anna but was stabbed in the neck in an act of self-defense, in the last minute desperation the general broke Anna's neck.

Disdain flashed in Caesar's eyes as he looked at the general's 'little brother'. He turned away and walked towards the table they were both sitting at when talking.

Caesar broke one of the teacups on the table alerting the two guards outside the tent…

*crack*

"What the h.e.l.l?"

"Princess Anna are you okay?" one of the guards opened up

-silence-

"Anna?"

-silence-

"What the h.e.l.l, let's go inside"

Both elven guards quickly rushed inside the tent and saw both the dead general and Anna's lifeless body, shock filled their eyes, then rage.

Caesar that was hiding quickly slipped out of the tent and rushed back towards the kingdom, he didn't want to be here when the bomb set off.

"PRINCESS ANNA!!!!!!!!!" a loud howl was heard throughout the entire encampment breaking everyone from the sleep

*step*

Everyone rushed towards the middle tent to see what happened…

"T-THAT GENERAL KILLED OUR PRINCESS!"

"We must get revenge"

"T-the elf saint that appears once every 200 years actually died to that insect…"

"I knew to make an alliance with the humans was a bad idea"

Different voices entered into Caesar's ears as he escaped back to the kingdom, everyone started rus.h.i.+ng towards the middle of the camp and no one even noticed Caesar's shadow running by.

Caesar soon made it pa.s.sed the large number of tents and ran through the gra.s.s back to the kingdom walls, Caesar crouched down and jumped back up on the walls.

*plop*

Caesar landed on the city walls awakening that same scout that shot him in the ballista…

"What the h.e.l.l? Your back already?" the scout grumbled incoherently before falling back to sleep.

Caesar took off his cap and pulled his hair out from his clothes, his beautiful long white hair flowed out and fluttered in the wind as he walked back to his manor.

*creak*

Caesar opened the door to a frowning girl with crossed arms.

"Where did you go?"

"I had a date with that elf princess," Caesar said slyly

"Y-you!!!" Ahri replied angrily but before she could continue Caesar already reached behind her and blew hot air in her earlobe causing her to s.h.i.+ver.

"You don't need to worry about that elf princess anymore," Caesar said seductively from behind her.

Ahri's face turned red as she had to stop herself from purring in Caesar's embrace…

"are you sure you aren't entranced by her beauty?? S-she is even prettier than me, i am still better though of course"

"Beauty means nothing, it's about what's inside right?" Caesar said as he moved his mouth closer to her neck.

"I-I decline you from drinking my blood" Ahri's words barely escaped her words before she felt a slight stinging pain in her neck… then, of course, the pleasure came next.

"How can a starving man resist a steak in front of him," he said after releasing his mouth from her neck, Ahri was breathing heavily while looking at Caesar fervently.

"P-pervert" she whispered under her breath before staggering up the stairs to her room.

Caesar chuckled slightly and also walked up the stairs to his room, right when he entered his room he collapsed on his bed and closed his eyes.

"Sigh, I'm exhausted"

That night he had a long dream...
