“You bastard! I’ll kill you!” Kaia scread, drawing her sword and racing toward Deek.
Carmine appeared in front of her, her shield up, an impenetrable barrier that Kaia could not pass. Without attacking Carmine, she couldn’t attack Deek. As for the other three knights, they had their swords drawn, but they barely took a step before they were stopped by Garnet and Bernice. Bernice had a complicated expression on her face, but she also rembered what Nerissa had said before she died. The fey reminded her too much of demons for her to be forgiving.
“I wouldn’t move.” Bernice pulled her guns on the knights while Garnet held her hamr nacingly.
The headless body of Nerissa started to dissolve, being eaten by the dungeon.
“You… you didn’t have to do it!” Kaia cried, tears falling down her eyes.
“She was a rabid monster,” I responded darkly, glaring at Kaia. “You fey think that just because you were here first, you sohow have rights beyond the lives of others? I ca here without any grudge against your people, but I won’t stand by while you abuse and dean my people either!”
“Y-you…” She had no argunt, but she still glared hatefully my way.
“My lord…” Detri spoke up, a complicated expression on his face. “Although she is fey, she saved our lives and risked her own. I’d like to beg on her behalf.”
Detri seed to recognize the situation better than anyone. He was still subservient to , but he still couldn’t sit by and say nothing if I cut down Kaia. It wasn’t that he believed he could stop , just that he had to try. With a sigh, I wave my hand, breaking the slave bond between Kaia and . I had unlocked Cancel Slave Contract at level 35, but it had never been important to because my blessings prevented from using it. I decided to give it a try on her now. Her eyes popped as the bond broke. That worked pretty well. I was at a level where I didn’t even need physical contact.
“Leave.”
Her expression flashed with reluctance. “But…”
“My lord has shown you rcy! Please leave!” It was Detri who suddenly showed.
Her eyes flashed with shock. “You… after everything…”
Detri bit his lip. “You are fey, and we are human. You saved because you felt sorry for and wanted to act against your father. However, there is a ti where I will gather humans and fight back against the fey, and the fey will die. You had to have realized this.”
Her eyes flashed in surprise, and then they lowered. “This… even so…”
She wasn’t soone who thought about things in such a complicated manner. To this point, she had just been reacting to what she experienced. Although Detri had used her help out of necessity, he was a leader capable of seeing the bigger picture. At so point, she’d either have to betray the fey, or they’d be on opposing sides.
It was clear she wasn’t satisfied with things ending this way. With her sister gone, she wanted retribution. However, she was now at a disadvantage to humans. This made her uncomfortable. Fey were always in charge and humans were weak. It was that simple. Her eyes finally flashed darkly. She had no choice but to flee. However, in just a few minutes, there would be reinforcents.
“Very well… let’s go.” She finally pulled back.
“You seem to be mistaken about sothing.” I stopped her as she turned to leave.
“Wh-what?”
“I said you could leave. I said nothing about them!” I looked at the soldiers.
“You go too far!”
“Elaya?”
“Heh.” Elaya wore a demonic smile as she flashed, appearing behind the guards.
A black mist exploded from her body, piercing the chest of each of the three n. They let out cries, attempting to attack. However, her movents were vicious. Garnet and Bernice didn’t even have to react as she brought them down. They let out screams, but they grew weaker by the second. Kaia moved to help, but Garnet slamd her hamr down, forcing the woman to jump back. By the ti she recovered, her three knights were nothing more than desiccated corpses.
