Chapter 95: (1)
Three days had passed since Linda returned to the Markain family.
Now its time to see how Count Armis will react. Its too quiet.
Kaiyan had thought that once the news of Vyarolfs capture reached Count Armis, he would take some immediate action. However, it was surprisingly quiet, contrary to his expectations.
It seemed as if the Armis family didnt care about Vyarolf at all.
Hmm Nobles like them arent the type to sit idly by when something like this happens. What kind of scheme are they cooking up?
Kaiyan had already thought carefully about how to feed information to Count Armis. Now, what remained was preventing any tricks that the Count might try to play, but breaking into the Armis family like that wouldnt be easy. Delaying the situation like this would be detrimental to the Armis family in the end.
Rieka, have you set up magic in the place where Vyarolf and Delonce are?
[Yes! Dont worry! Well know as soon as anyone enters!]
As a precaution, Kaiyan used one of the emergency scrolls he had been carrying.
It was a magic that would sound an alarm if anyone unauthorized attempted to enter the underground cell where Vyarolf and Delonce were held.
Unless Count Armis is a complete fool, he wont just declare war on the Markain family.
On the first day, Kaiyan had investigated how the Mareon Empires bureaucracy worked through Markain family officials, and the result was that Count Armis currently had limited options for action.
The main reason for this was that he had already confessed to attempting to kill Linda through torture, even if it wasnt true. If Count Armis were to declare war recklessly now, an investigation would certainly come from Mareon Castle.
Fortunately, according to the officials, the Armis family isnt that influential, but we cant ignore them completely. So, Rieka, stick with Linda for a few more days.
[You mean to protect Linda, right?]
Yes, it seems like the Markain knights are too few in number and strength to rely solely on them. And no.
The issue wasnt just their strength, but the fact that Kaiyan couldnt trust them.
Delonce, who had lived as a Markain knight for decades, had tried to betray their lord and kill Linda. It was impossible to know when the knights currently loyal to Linda might change sides.
[Alright! If anything unexpected happens, Ill use the emergency magic scroll!]
Sure, dont hesitate to use it, especially since we can gather G-Points to buy more later.
This guys an idiot. You could get executed on the spot if you get caught! You might die just for a little money. Ugh I cant believe Im friends with someone like this Huh? What?
When Canon, one of the soldiers, turned his head toward his speechless friend, he saw a dagger flying towards his head.
Pwoosh!
Canon fell helplessly. And next to him, his friend was already lying on the ground with a dagger in his head.
Numbers 4 and 5 swiftly concealed their bodies in a secluded spot, hid the corpses, and signaled Number 1. The rest of the masked figures, including Number 1, quickly approached the underground storage.
Someone may be guarding inside. Lets deal with it quickly.
Yes.
With daggers in hand, the masked figures opened the door to the underground storage and entered swiftly. However, to their surprise, there was no one behind the door. Puzzled, one of the masked figures raised their head.
Hmm No guards? What on earth For now, lets go down.
Keeping low and cautiously scanning their surroundings, the masked figures descended the stairs leading underground.
A while later, the silent group arrived in the underground cell. They saw Vyarolf and Delonce, the two individuals tied up in a crude iron cage.
Number 1 fell into thought as they looked at the sleeping pair.
Is this a trap? Even if it is, were in a situation where we can kill them right now. Well it doesnt matter.
The masked figure nodded and quickly approached the iron cage containing Vyarolf.
The orders given to the shadows were clear: kill Vyarolf and Delonce.
Even if this were a trap, they were in a situation to kill these two right now. There was no need to think otherwise.
Hmm Whats that noise Oh!
Perhaps hearing the footsteps of the masked figures, Vyarolf woke up, surprised, and whimpered as he got up from his position. Delonce, who had been sleeping next to him, also woke up, carefully getting to his feet.
Who, who are you?
