Taking Vyarolf out with him, Kaiyan noticed that the soldiers were rushing toward the underground warehouse, seemingly having sensed sothing belatedly.
Standing still and waiting for them, he watched as Anton, who knew him, approached, panting heavily.
Ugh huff Kaiyan, whats going on? The ergency bell just rang.
Ergency bell? Ah, so thats why everyones gathered.
The ergency bell was used to alert about dangers at the central core of the stronghold. It seed like soone had rung it upon seeing a fallen guard.
Anton, who had been catching his breath, looked at the masked duo behind Kaiyan and then pointed with his hand.
Who are these people? And why is Vyarolf with you?
These individuals are assassins sent by the Armis family, and Vyarolf is now a guest of the Markain family.
Guest? Assassins rather, why is Vyarolf, a noble from the Armis family, considered a guest now? And what about
Anton seed more uneasy about Vyarolf, a noble from the Armis family who had tried to kill Linda than the assassins.
No, its not like that. But now theres a use for him. More importantly, there are three assassins inside. Please take care of them, especially these two here. Theyre still alive, so make sure they dont escape. I have other matters to attend to.
Oh, yes! Understood! Squad 2, go inside and check on Delonce and the assassins!
Seeing Anton directing the soldiers, Kaiyan rembered Linda and headed in her direction, with Vyarolf accompanying him.
As they walked and arrived near the mansion, knights in plate armor were blocking the way, swords drawn.
Is it because of the ergency bell?
Ignoring them and attempting to pass by the mansion, a knight thrust his sword toward Kaiyan.
Halt.
Whats going on?
Due to the ergency bell, you cannot enter the mansion now. Also
The knights sword pointed at Vyarolf.
Why are you bringing Vyarolf with you? He should be imprisoned in the underground warehouse.
Eek! I, I just followed him when he told to!
Vyarolf, a pitiful figure, stamred. He looked at Vyarolf, who had fallen to the ground in fear, and then turned his gaze to the knight.
I need to et Linda. With him.
Thats! You cant et the lord right now! Especially not with him!
The knights seed very displeased with , probably due to their belief that it would be easier to speak to their lord and because Linda relied too much on .
These foolish individuals. They didnt know anything when Delonce was trying to kill Linda.
Watching their resentnt, Kaiyan couldnt help but regret.
I should have taken care of these individuals along with Delonce.
Even if the issue with the Armis family was resolved, could he really trust these individuals and leave Linda in their care?
What should be done with these inept individuals, both in skill and intellect?
As Kaiyan pondered while looking at the knights, the mansions doors opened, and Linda, holding Rieka, walked outside.
Whats going on?
My lord! The ergency bell rang!
The bell rang, and I heard it too. So whats going on?
Oh, that The soldiers are checking, so well know soon.
I see. But why were they pointing their swords at Mr. Kaiyan?
Huh? Well When the ergency bell rang, I told them we couldnt allow anyone suspicious inside, but they were trying to force their way in. Moreover, that guy brought a Vyarolf that should be imprisoned in the underground warehouse.
Linda glanced at the Vyarolf after hearing the knights explanation and sighed.
Phew I told them Mr. Kaiyan is my guest. Please put away your swords.
Yes? Oh, yes! Understood.
The knights reluctantly sheathed their swords and stepped back. Linda approached Kaiyan.
Sir, whats going on?
Armis family sent assassins to kill the Vyarolf.
What? So, what happened to the assassins?
We captured two of them, but the rest theyre probably dead, so dont worry. Right now, Anton is commanding the soldiers to handle it, so it will be resolved soon.
Armis family is really scary to try and kill their own nobles Mr. Kaiyan, youve helped again. Thank you.
Linda looked at Kaiyan with grateful eyes, reminiscent of his sister.
Ahem Anyway, lets go inside. There are things we need to discuss.
Yes, understood.
Ignoring the foolish knights, Kaiyan led Linda and Vyarolf into his room on the third floor of the mansion.
He placed the trembling Vyarolf in a corner and had Linda and Rieka sit on chairs.
Now, shall we make a plan?
What kind of plan?
Well
Armis family will suffer a great deal.
Is that possible? I think what you ntioned last ti should be enough
No, thats not enough. That thod is to prevent the Armis family from interfering with the Markain family. Its not about revenge.
The first plan Kaiyan had told Linda about was primarily for the safety of the Markain family, the most important part.
However, even if that plan succeeded, it would only prevent the Armis family from interfering with the Markain territory and not cause any significant harm.
I want revenge for Lindas family.
Having lost his own family, Kaiyan knew well how profound the sorrow could be. However, leaving Armis Count unpunished was unthinkable.
It was not only Lindas revenge but also an expression of Kaiyans anger towards Armis count, who had orchestrated such a thing.
If Vyarolf helps us, sothing great might happen.
Eek!
As Vyarolf t Kaiyans gaze, who looked at him like a predator eyeing its prey, he cowered and banged his head on the floor.
Anyway, once he realized that the assassins really ca to kill him, he would have no choice but to cooperate with . After all, the head of the Armis family had abandoned him.
Now, Vyarolf, tell us a very simple task you need to do. You will be in my hands from now on.
Huh?
Three days after the assassination attempt, a one-sided communication ca from the Armis family.
The ssage was a request for direct communication with Vyarolf, and when it was refused, the Armis family left a ssage saying they would file a territorial dispute with the Markain family before ending the communication.
Sir, it seems like the Armis family believes that Vyarolf is dead. Everything is going according to your plan!
