Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

A horse could be seen advancing quickly towards a certain direction. The rider was covered from head to toe in a thick cloth and the only visible part of their body were their eyes and pale lips

The rider only stopped occasionally to feed the horse and take a quick rest before continuing.

Soon the rider reached a narrow path that was in between two huge mountains.

The rider looked up at the endless height of the mountain and their lips curved into a smile.

As the rider’s head was raised towards the sky, their eyes could now clearly be seen.

It was a deep shade of violet.

Alyssa smiled as she looked at the narrow path that looked to have no end.

“Finally, I’m here!”

…..

In the bustling streets of Venice, Alyssa who had changed to the tattered gown befitting of a servant scanned the area carefully.

She noticed that this kingdom had a warmth that Western Kingdom did not have.

Children were laughing merrily as they played with each other.

The old people were rounded in different corners either playing games or chatting with each other.

The teenagers were gossiping or playing with their friends in groups.

The adults were either working or going on about their daily lives.

Everyone had smiles on their faces as well as an amiable look that made you want to approach.

Too bad she was about too steal their artifact. Hopefully, i t wouldn’t affect their lives that much as they seems to have amassed prosperity and wealth to an unshakable level.

She had learned that one must be selfish in order to live well.

Even though she felt guilty, she was not going to sacrifice her freedom and wellbeing for people she did not know.

After walking around and sightseeing for about an hour, she finally asked around for a guest house to lodge for the night.

She had her whole operation planned out already. she was going into the palace undercover as a maid.

She was then going to gather Intel and use that to get closer to the princes. Once she had found out who it was that could decipher the map, she would try to get closer to him and make him fall for her.

She was very confident in her looks so she felt she just needed to exude a bit of charm and smarts to capture his heart. She would temper herself to his ideal image in a woman and win him over.

The maid selection was tomorrow so she had a night before her mission began.

Once she had gotten a room in the guest house, she felt like she could finally relax.

She rummaged through her bag and brought out a rolled up parched paper.

She unfurled it and smiled as she read the contents.

It stated that she would have her freedom back as soon as she delivered the artifact she stole. She also made sure that they added all the little specific details like how she didn’t need to marry anyone her father arranged and how she was going to be given a lot of money to start her life again.

She couldn’t take the chances of letting them find a loophole in the contract.

She looked over the signature of her father as well as hers and she nodded in satisfaction.

After rolling up the contract and putting it safely in her bag, she laid on the bed and thought carefully about her life.

Her prayers seemed to have been answered so she was grateful to whoever it was who listened.

She recounted the suffering she had to face all through her life and how her days ahead would be bright once she had stolen the artifact.

She grinned toothily as genuine happiness spread through her body down to her soul.

How long had it been since she was happy like this?

As she was deep in thought, her stomach suddenly rumbled loudly.

It was then that she remembered that she had not eaten anything all day as she had been too busy sightseeing and scoping the kingdom.

She sighed and dragged herself out of bed.

When she went downstairs, she inquired about food but the guest house attendants claimed that they did not serve food for guests and that she could go get from restaurants and stalls close by.

She found it really troublesome but due to the fact that she was starving, she went anyways.

She did not need to walk for long before she sighted a good restaurant. As per this was a guest house, there were numerous decent restaurants close by. Stalls for snacks were also surplus in the area.

She must have not noticed it as she was rushing to find a place to stay earlier.

She settled on one of their empty seats and ordered.

After she was served, she dug in and ate as fast as she could.

Once she was done, she paid and left the restaurant.

She had almost gotten to the restaurant when she heard a scream coming from a dark alleyway.

She halted and looked towards that direction. She could clearly see a few youths surrounding a petite woman who wore the same outfit she wore.

She did not want to get involved in this scuffle but as she saw the girl being pushed around, she could see her helpless self in her.

She sighed and rubbed her face in frustration before heading in that direction.

What the hell am I doing?

…

Back in Western Kingdom, Lucas had just received news that there was something wrong in the palace so he rushed there as he was worried for Alyssa.

When he got there, he saw that the king and his family had solemn faces as the stared at him.

He looked around and could not spot Alyssa anywhere.

He got a bad premonition.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Where is Alyssa?” He asked urgently.

“I… I don’t know how to say this.” The king said looking ashamed.

King Jacob handed a letter to Lucas.

Lucas raised the letter and read through it. When he processed the contents, his eyes widened in shock and his heart dropped to the floor.

“No! It can’t be!” He continuously murmured as he refused to accept the contents of the letter.

“How can Alyssa run away?”
