Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 143: Angelina’s Prince Charming Dream~ Angelina was once just an ordinary high school student in Siracusa.

Her mother was from Higashi, her father from Siracusa.

She had a happy family, and like any normal high school girl, Angelina loved to dress up and liked sparkly jewelry. Although her family’s financial situation was average and they couldn’t afford genuine items, even buying some glass bead jewelry from street stalls could make her happy for a long time.

She liked small trinkets, doing her nails, and putting on makeup to make herself pretty. She loved romance novels and, like other normal high school girls, she fantasized about a Prince Charming descending from the sky to save her from the mouth of an evil dragon.

However.

Due to an accident, Angelina contracted Oripathy and became one of the Infected.

The status of the Infected in Siracusa was no higher than in any other country. Moreover... the indifference of her compatriots was one thing, but contracting Oripathy meant death. It meant that Angelina’s flower-like youth could come to an end at any moment, ending her young life in the humiliating way Oripathy dictated.

Desperate, Angelina dared not tell her parents she had contracted Oripathy, fearing they would worry. She also dared not tell her classmates, fearing her once-friendly classmates would turn their backs on her.

One day.

She silently disappeared from the city where she had lived her life.

She decided to spend the remainder of her life searching for a reason to live.

Although Oripathy could take her life at any moment, it also awakened her Originium Arts. And as time passed, even without deliberate practice, the strength of her Arts continued to grow.

Over the past year.

Angelina, using her not-so-proficiently controlled Originium Arts, shed her former good-girl image. She shuttled between tall buildings, thoroughly enjoying the madness...

Later.

By a stroke of luck, Angelina became a special courier.

In this country controlled by the Mafia, she delivered one secret after another. For the Angelina of the past, this seemed to be the meaning of her life now.

As for the fantasies she had as a normal high school girl a year ago, they had long been cast aside.

However...

Today~

When Angelina thought she was about to die, she found that she felt no fear. After all, for the Infected, death might be a release. Every Oripathy outbreak was, for Angelina, like countless sharp needles piercing every muscle, bone, and nerve in her body. This torture, worse than death, had made Angelina want to end her own life many times.

This way of dying...

Was at least better than the final stage of Oripathy, where one’s whole body turns into ugly Originium ore and dies a miserable death...

It was a pity...

She never got to apologize to her parents. They must be very sad right now. She wondered if they had a second child...

Angelina originally thought that today was finally the day she would die.

However.

The fantasies she had long cast aside suddenly returned to her mind in an instant.

Handsome, powerful, mysterious, and especially that deep, ancient aura, like a treasure that had been silent for half a century, made Angelina’s heart pound uncontrollably.

When Lucas Reeve came back to her.

Angelina quickly lowered her head, not wanting him to see her slightly nervous face.

It seemed that, in an instant, the pain in her body wasn’t so bad, even the wound where she had been pierced didn’t hurt as much....

Seeing that Miss Ange wasn’t speaking, and not knowing if she was scared silly or something else, he simply picked her up and carried her towards the secret room. The medical supplies that Miss Ange had delivered earlier should still be there. He hadn’t expected the supplies she delivered to be used on herself so soon.

————————

When little Lisa woke up from her sleep, it was already past nine in the morning.

Although she hadn’t slept for long, she had recovered from yesterday’s fatigue and her body’s functions were barely restored.

However, as she got up, preparing to cook a bowl of porridge for her mother and then continue training according to Lucas Reeve’s plan, she saw a strange older sister sitting on the bench opposite her.

The two Vulpo girls stared at each other for a few seconds of silence before.

”Ahhhhhh!!”

Lisa couldn’t help but scream.

This was a normal reaction. Anyone who woke up to find a stranger in front of them would naturally be startled.

After just one scream.

Lisa immediately covered her mouth, afraid of waking her sleeping mother.
