Chapter 1010


    The Tulle’s reputation as the number one global organized mercenary group was not unearned. Their


    efficiency in search and rescue operations were unparalleled.


    It took them barely three days to unearth Lacey’s trail after she disappeared.


    On the far outskirts of Atheville, there was a tiny town so remote that it only had one vige. The vige


    was Ascot. Three days ago, a fairy had descended there.


    The girl who arrived could truly pass for a fairy from the heavens, that much was true. She had a


    graceful figure, a face that could move the very heavens itself, and an ethereal aura unique only to her.


    She arrived quietly, spending an impressive amount of money to rent one of the holiday vis in the tiny


    town.


    By night, she rested in the vi.


    But by day, she perched daintily on arge rock by the mouth of the vige, admiring the lush mountain


    scenery quietly.


    The sight of her distant beauty as she admired the scenery easily surpassed any other exquisite


    scenery the world offered.


    It was not much of a surprise then, that the youngds in the vige would mor to watch the


    “scenery” of the fairy admiring the actual scenery whenever they had any free time.

    Ever since heid eyes on a photograph of the ‘fairy’, Zeke knew with aching certainty that Lacey was


    the fairy.


    The photograph they had given him was just a side profile, and not a very good one at that, but her


    aura and quiet sense of ethereality were unmistakable. It was Lacey.


    Without wasting another second, Zeke jumped into his car, gunning it straight toward the tiny vige of


    Ascot.


    In Ascot, Lacey went about her usual routine, hiking to the entrance of the vige to admire the wide


    expanse of scenery before her.


    She was well-aware of a couple of vige boys ogling her in the distance, enchanted by her.


    Resisting the urge to sigh, she returned her attention to the scenery. Even the elderly poption of the


    vige were abuzz by her arrival, iming that she was definitely a fairy stricken by a disaster in the


    heavens, escaping to the earth.


    After all, there was no other exnation for a girl with such unearthly beauty appearing in their tiny


    vige.


    Truthfully, Lacey could not find it in her to be interested in the view. The scenery was beautiful, but she


    was very much alone and that leeched any possible contentment she would have felt, leaving only a


    numb feeling of tasteless repetition.


    If only Zeke was beside her. She imagined the joy of being able to share in the stunning view with him.


    Just one day would be enough.


    Even if the cost were the rest of her life, she would still dly trade it for that one day.


    It did not change the fact that she was acutely aware that her thoughts were just a dream and nothing


    more.


    Her decision was made. She would never reveal her whereabouts to Zeke. She could not bear to put


    him through the same pain she had already suffered.


    She would rather endure it all alone.


    The sound of her phone vibrating startled her out of her reverie.


    It was a new phone, the one she was using to alleviate the boredom of the short remainder of her life.


    Pulling the phone out of her pocket, she realized it was a news alert. The headline was from Penguin


    Media.


    The Great Marshal Summons the Tulle to Eurasia in Search for His Beloved.


    Lacey felt her heart twist painfully.


    Zeke must be looking for me all over the world by now.


    She blew out a breath frustratedly, thinking about the shitty nature of the world.


    Where was the happy ending for the two destined lovers where they grew old together, hand in hand to


    the end of their days?


    Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a wretched voice sounded by her ear.


    “Hey, sweetie,” the voice leered. “Aren’t you lonely, standing there? How about somepany, huh?”


    Lacey jerked her head around to see Yael Allwine, the vige gangster.


    He was not just notorious in Ascot, but in all the nearby towns as well. Lecherous to a fault, Lacey


    knew that many young women from upstanding families had fallen victim to his assault. He was the


    worst kind of man there was.


    Lacey knew she was beautiful. She was also very aware of the fact that she was alone, and Yael was


    staring at her like a piece of meat.


    “Get out of here and leave me alone.”


    Yael did not leave. Instead, he seemed to take her rejection as an encouragement, moving toward her


    and trying to grab her arm.


    Lacey ducked aside quickly, feeling a rising sense of disgust.


    Yael was not a good-looking fellow. He had practically no hair left on his head, a face full of warts in


    odd ces, and yellowish crooked teeth toplement it all. In fact, just looking at him made her


    stomach turn.


    “Why are you hiding, baby girl? It’s obvious that you just stand here all day just to hook up with


    someone who can show you a good time, huh? Come with me to the fields over there. I nted them


    especially for you, sweetie.”


    “Son of a—” Lacey felt her anger surge dangerously. “Stop talking to me, or I’ll call the police.”


    “I’d like to see you try, huh?” Yaelpsed into peals of his ugly snortingughter. “The police ain’t


    coming anytime soon, baby girl. Earliest that they show up is tomorrow morning. By tonight, I’ll already


    have my sweet way with you.”
