The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 139

Robin felt Luella trembling in his arms and stayed silent for a long moment. 

Finally, he gently pushed her back, looking her in the eyes with a faint smile. “Three years ago, Felix promised not to reach out to me directly. Why did you come to Draconia this time?” 

Luella exhaled deeply and gave him an apologetic smile. “Robin, I know the Aldridges can’t hide anything. 

from you. 

“My grandfather sent me to find you only after much hesitation. 

“We first approached Old Fred. He told us he wouldn’t interfere in your affairs anymore and suggested we speak to you directly. 

To track down your exact whereabouts, the Aldridges opened up global sales channels for a new line of cosmetics crafted specifically for Old Fred’s third wife, Marina Lewin. 

“Old Fred made me swear repeatedly not to reveal that to you.” 

Robin’s lips twitched. “And yet, here you are, telling me anyway. 

Luella gave a sheepish smile. “I knew you’d figure it out so I might as well tell you upfront.” 

“Aren’t you worried Old Fred will say you betrayed him?” 

Luella laughed. “If Old Fred gave me your location, he’s already come to terms with it. Otherwise, even if it benefited all his wives, he’d never tell a soul.” 

Robin shook his head. “He’s probably just eager to get Marina off his back. So, what’s this all about?” 

After a pause. Luella said, “Do you know why, three years ago, my family nearly faced utter ruin?” 

Robin shook his head. “I stepped in to save your family because Old Fred ordered me to. I don’t ask for reasons; I simply carry out what I need to do.” 

Luella nodded. “I know that’s your way. 

“The disaster three years ago–and the enormous troubles we’re facing now–all stem from the same issue.- 

“That’s why I came to Draconia to find you.” 

Robin leaned back into the sofa, closing his eyes, listening quietly as Luella continued. 

“Decades ago, when the Aldridges were just getting established, we offended a powerful figure named Ernst Cesar. 

“He also did business in Autreynia and was a close friend of my grandfather. 

“But due to the immense profits involved, they ultimately came into conflict over the Ugonland market. 

“Eventually, Ernst’s family couldn’t compete against my grandfather’s control over the Aldridges in Ugonland.

“As a result, Ernst faced harsh punishment from his own family and lost all his influence and standing. 

“Consumed by bitterness, he fell into despair and eventually died in anxiety. 

“Before he died, he listened to malicious rumors, convinced that his downfall in Ugonland was my grandfather’s doing. 

“In his final days, he spent everything he had to summon a sorcerer from Urbs and placed a vicious blood curse on our family. 

“The curse decreed that the Aldridges would be attacked by the world’s most ruthless mercenaries and that every family member would perish overnight.” 

At this point, Luella’s eyes were filled with fear. 

“Robin, the first curse has already come true. That disaster happened. If you hadn’t intervened, our family would’ve been reduced to rubble, shattered beyond repair. 

“The second curse was my father’s death in a plane crash. A year ago, that tragedy also came to pass. 

The third curse states that every Aldridge descendant will die, coughing up blood, on their 20th birthday. 

Three months ago, two of my cousins, a brother, and a sister, died one after the other on their birthdays, each succumbing to the curse. 

“Now I have just eight months left until my 20th birthday, and my grandfather fears I’ll meet the same fate. 

He reached out to the Dark Lord of the World of Darkness, asking them to break this curse. 

“But the Dark Lord said that this blood curse is unbreakable,” Luella explained. 

“Unless we find a godlike warrior skilled in the Aubade Technique, the Aldridges‘ blood curse can’t be lifted. 

“Out of options, my grandfather reached out to Old Fred, asking him to help us find someone with that level of power. 

“Old Fred told us that you’re the one we’ve been searching for. 

“Robin, the Aldridges are willing to give everything we have if you would only… 

Robin raised a hand, stopping her. “Luella, I can’t promise you anything for now. You should go back.” 

Luella shrugged, smiling with a trace of resignation. “Alright. My grandfather mentioned that you’ve already saved the Aldridges once. We won’t push you if you don’t wish to do this. 

“Robin, I have one request: eight months from now, on my birthday, could you come to see me one last time?” 

Robin’s mouth tightened. Rising to his feet, he replied, “I can’t make any promises, Luella. Take care. I need to go,

At the doorway, he paused and glanced back at Luella, who was trying to hold back her tears. With a smile, he said, “Maybe things won’t be as bad as you think.
