Chapter 246 Kidnapping

Helia forced the man to look up, and saw Casper's closed eyes with tears of blood. She was even considerate enough to wipe away the tear marks on his cheeks, which extended all the way to his ears.

"Are you convinced now?" She pressed her thumb against his chin, forcing him to tilt his head back, exposing his fragile and fatal carotid artery.

She felt her teeth a little itchy, and her tongue gently scraped across her sharp fangs. She also felt a little thirsty, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"Despicable," Casper cursed.

His body was trembling slightly, not sure if it was because he was angry or in pain. There were still traces of blood and tears on his cheeks, making them pink, and his thick eyelashes were trembling constantly.

Even his yelling and scolding were like this, completely without any offensive power, so light and soft that if you didn't know better you would think he was just being coquettish.

At this moment, he was indeed like a delicate flower, waiting to be plucked by anyone.

"Let me have a bite." Helia leaned her head against Casper's neck, and the warm breath she exhaled sprayed on his fair skin, like the tenderness between lovers.

But the next second, the exposed sharp teeth pierced the fragile skin without hesitation, and the lips held the small piece of flesh, sucking and licking it. This strange feeling made Casper instinctively break free from Helia's restraints.

He covered the part of his neck where Helia had sucked, gasping in anger, his eyelashes trembling wildly, "You're crazy!"

If he could open his eyes, he would probably be staring at her with his beautiful eyes as black as ink, and maybe there would be tears welling up in his eyes.

It’s so tempting just thinking about it.

Helia tasted it carefully and had to admit that this genius's blood was different. The magic was so rich and mellow that she couldn't stop.

Looking at Casper, the little white flower who looked humiliated but still strong, she couldn't help but have some bad thoughts. She stretched out her index finger to hook the other's slightly loose collar, and her other hand restlessly stroked his collarbone.

"Be good, I'll treat you well."

After saying that, without waiting for Casper's reaction, she chopped the other side of his neck with one hand, and the head suddenly fell limp and leaned into Helia's arms.

When Helia appeared in front of Mirang again, she was holding an unconscious man in her right hand. His loose braids hung with his drooping head, and the ends of his hair swept across the ground.

She glanced at Aphra who was still unconscious on the sofa, then looked at Mirang who was standing by, thinking about her next plan.

"Are you going to take Casper away?" Mi Rang looked at Helia's posture, looked her up and down repeatedly, and re-evaluated her level in his heart.

He was next door, but he didn't hear any loud noise. But how did Helia subdue Casper, a ninth-rank magician, in such a short time? And without making any loud noise.

We all graduated from Carter's College. What kind of centipede shit or toad urine did Helia eat to become so powerful all of a sudden?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, I have to keep him as a hostage."

Helia took a quick look at the structure of the room, gradually thinking about the follow-up plan, and struggling with whether to blow up the manor.

If she hadn't been there, she would have let the Murabi family know her explosive genius, and this whole area would have been razed to the ground by that old man.

But Alfie and the others were still there, so she wouldn't break into the meeting room again to pass on the message to them, would she? And the movements of so many people would definitely not escape Roden's eyes, and if the plan was discovered, it might not be accomplished, and she would be dragged here.

"What about her? Can she just stay here?" Mirang pointed at Aphra and asked how to deal with this guy.

Although the fact that Helia kidnapped Casper could not be concealed for long, even if Aphra knew that Helia had returned, she could not be sure that her target was Casper, so it should be fine to leave her alone.

However, Alfie specifically asked her to protect Aphra if she had the strength to do so.

And now she has become an eyewitness to Helia's kidnapping. Unlike Mirang, Aphra has Judith and the Helis family to back her up.

Even though she was a member of the Turafa family, to the family, she was just an object that they forcibly attached to Alfie, a rope used to restrain Alfie.

Aphra caused trouble, and if Alfie didn't care, the family would choose to push her out to take the blame.

After all, the Turafa family is full of people like Aphra.

Casper is missing, and the Murabi family must give an explanation, after all, he was lost on their territory.

They didn't want to take the blame, and they couldn't catch Helia, nor hand over the culprit. And coincidentally, Aphra was the only witness, so it was easy to guess what Roden would do.

Anyway, they can't be the ones to take the blame.

Helia weighed Casper in her hand and made a choice in her heart. She walked to Aphra, put her free hand around her slender waist, and picked her up.

She held an Aphra in her left hand, a Casper in her right hand, and carried a Watersiser in her arms. She looked like she was going to market, but she looked normal and didn't feel tired at all.

"I'm leaving first. Please help me clean up the mess. Remember to remind Judith that we will see each other for the last time."

Ignoring Mi Rang's attempts to stop her, she struggled to get out through the window she had come in through before, leaving behind only a ruthless back.

"No! You! You take away..." Mirang didn't understand why Helia wanted to take Aphra away, but before he could finish his question, Helia had already flown away with the two of them.

What could he say? If he didn't owe Helia too much, he would never be willing to work for her! He could only work hard and scratch his head at the chaotic scene.

Helia flew the two of them to a hidden cave that they had spotted before. Aphra woke up quickly, halfway through the flight, but when she opened her eyes, she saw herself flying in the sky and fainted again out of fright.

She threw Caspar aside and carefully placed Aphra on the fallen leaves, then went to find some branches to start a fire.

When Casper woke up, he heard crackling sounds of sparks and something breaking into pieces. He frowned, covered his aching neck, and sat up on the rough stone floor that still retained his body temperature.

"Awake?" Helia was chewing the fire phosphate ore she had gotten earlier, eating it like candy. The strange crunching sound Caspar heard was the sound of her chewing the stone.

Caspar tried to open his eyes. Although it was not as painful as before when he moved, he could only see a blurry blood-red color with his slightly opened eyes, and then he was in so much pain that he could not move anymore.

"What exactly do you want to do?" he asked.

Now he had to admit that he had underestimated Helia. He had been smooth sailing since he was born, and grew up being praised and praised. He was overconfident in his own abilities, and he also looked down on Helia because of her strange changes in recent years, which led to his failure today.

"What I want to do depends on what you want to do."

Helia casually tossed the small piece of fire phosphate ore in her hand, with her other hand resting on her bent knee. Her sapphire eyes were particularly cold in the dim firelight, staring straight at Casper across the fire.

That old guy Roden must be up to no good. There must be other important matters to discuss at this meeting, and I am just the appetizer.

It was true that she wanted to cause trouble, but it was also true that she wanted to collect information, so she had to wait for Alfie and Judith to give her a message.

"Don't forget, it was the royal family that first attacked the aristocratic families." Casper said.

Helia snorted and laughed, and suddenly felt that this so-called genius from aristocratic family was just so-so.

"Don't tell me about morality. As long as the benefits are big enough, there is nothing I can't do." She asked back, "It's all useless."

Casper shut up.

He just discovered that the vast ocean of magic power in his body had evaporated like water. Although natural elemental power was pouring in to slowly replenish it, the speed was too slow and could not keep up with the speed at which Helia was absorbing it.

Her devouring power was so strong that he had basically no means of resistance and could only be eaten.

Without magic power, he couldn't perform any magic. And with pure physical attacks, how could he possibly defeat a guy who had eaten a dragon's heart?

He knew very well that the reason why Helia did not kill him directly but chose to kidnap him was simply because he was valuable. As for what this value was, he had not figured it out yet, just as he did not understand why Helia wanted to kidnap him.

With his life and property in someone else's hands, he naturally had to be honest. He didn't want to be killed by Helia's sudden anger like Dorado.

He sat down obediently and tugged at his loose collar. The wind blew in and he felt a little cold, so he took the initiative to move towards the heat source and warmed himself by the fire quietly like a bullied young wife.

After a while, Aphra also woke up. Because there was a thick layer of fallen leaves under her body, her slight movement immediately attracted the attention of the other two people.

She rubbed her neck and slowly sat up. When she saw the unfamiliar scene around her, the memory before she fainted immediately emerged in her mind. She shivered and shrank like a frightened little rabbit, and turned her head tremblingly to look for the attacker.

Helia looked at her calmly, still chewing stones in her mouth - she had consumed a lot of magic power, and in order to avoid any accidents, she couldn't wait to recover slowly, so she could only use this method to quickly replenish her magic power.

Aphra screamed uncontrollably, but quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any more sound, fearing that she would anger the murderous female devil.

The dull cough attracted her attention, and when she saw Casper by the fire, even her breathing slowed down.

Of course she knew Casper. Such a genius had fallen into the hands of that female devil, let alone a small fry like her.

But why did she kidnap me? Because I witnessed her breaking in. Would I die then?

Aphra was so frightened by her own imagination that she was trembling with fear. She was clearly at the innermost part of the cave, where the wind couldn't reach her and there was a fire. It should have been the warmest place in the entire cave, but she was trembling like a sieve.

"Afra." Helia saw that she was not in a good state, so she called out, but she frightened the guy who was even more timid than a mouse. He was so scared that he crawled directly into the corner, shrinking his head and not daring to look up at her.

Casper could imagine Afra's timid look without even looking at her. He felt helpless. "It's fine if you kidnap me, but why do you have to involve innocent people?"

"I don't need to give you a reason for what I do." Helia didn't intend to give him an explanation. Alfie was her hidden thread, so it was best not to expose him easily.

Casper shut up again.

"Afra, come here." Helia stopped paying attention to Casper and waved to Aphra instead.

Although Aphra was scared to death, she did not dare to disobey Helia's order, fearing that she would anger her and be killed by her. She crawled over tremblingly at the pace of a snail.

Seeing Aphra shivering, Helia thought she was cold, so she took off her coat and put it on her.

"We'll have to make do with this tonight. We'll leave for somewhere else tomorrow." Helia saw in the firelight that there was dust on Aphra's face, so she reached out to wipe it off for her, but before she could touch her, she was dodged.

Only then did Helia realize that Aphra was afraid of her, and she was extremely afraid of her. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Are you afraid of me? I didn't do anything to you, did I?"

She withdrew her hand and, with the hand resting on her knee, poked the fire with the stick to make it burn more vigorously.

Seeing that Aphra didn't answer, Helia didn't try to do anything else. She just sat quietly by the side with her eyes closed.

Aphra shivered for a long time. With the influx of warmth, she finally calmed her frightened heart. With curiosity, she secretly glanced at Helia.

When Helia broke into the house through the window before, she had seen the other person's face. She was very beautiful and stunning, so much so that she was stunned on the spot. First, she was stunned by the other person's sudden action, and second, she was stunned by the other person's beautiful face that was completely inconsistent with her behavior.

Before she could be surprised for any longer, she saw Helia rushing towards her. Fear suddenly suppressed her admiration and took over. She screamed subconsciously and was then knocked unconscious by the chop.

Now that she had a chance to take a closer look at the other person's face, especially the fiery red hair and the sapphire eyes that had an indelible glow in her memory, Aphra realized belatedly that the person who had kidnapped her was the famous Princess Helia.

However, why did Her Royal Highness the Princess come here instead of staying in the palace to enjoy a life of luxury, and why did they kidnap her and Lord Casper?

She couldn't figure it out.

However, this Princess seemed completely different from the Princess she had heard of.

She noticed that when she woke up, she was pillowed with a thick layer of leaves, while Caspar and Helia did not have any. She had also experienced the roughness and coldness of the stone ground when she was crawling. Even if there was a fire to warm herself, it would not be comfortable whether lying or sitting.

She grabbed the dress that Helia had given her on her shoulders. She was shivering with fear, but she seemed to have mistaken it for her cold...

Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to care about her a lot...?

Aphra was a little confused and felt conflicted. On the one hand, she felt that Helia was terrible and wanted to stay away from her; but on the other hand, she felt that Helia was actually a good person and she cared about her a lot.

"Ms. Aphra." Casper's voice pulled Helia out of her dilemma. She shuddered, then looked at Casper.

In the light of the fire, she noticed the blood on Casper's face and his tightly closed eyes.

This is……

Aphra turned her head sharply to look at Helia, and found that she had opened her eyes and was looking coldly at Casper opposite her, with her brows slightly furrowed, seeming very unhappy.

Casper knew that Aphra was kidnapped with him because of some speculation.

He knew that the person resting next to him was Alfie's partner, and the noise Helia made when she broke into the house through the window was quite loud, which could have been heard by Mirang from outside the house. It was impossible for him not to hear it as he was always paying attention to the movements around him.

Moreover, the two screams were basically consistent. Although he had lost his eyesight, his ears became more sensitive. In addition, he had seen the other person in previous gatherings and had contact with her once or twice, so he immediately locked on the other person's identity - Miss Aphra of the Turafa family.

Not to mention that Helia had just called her name, and after several confirmations, it was undoubtedly Aphra.

However, Casper couldn't understand why Helia wanted to take Aphra away. It seemed that there was nothing worth her attention in her.

Could it be that he wanted to use Aphra to threaten Alfie and thereby contain the Magic Association?

Then she might have made a wrong calculation.
