On the other side, Amaya, who was running away from her assailants, finally managed to run out of the Palace, there were around 10 guards who saw her running away like that, however, the moment they learned about the situation, all of them backed off and ran away.
Of course, Amaya didn’t fail to tell them who the culprit was.
She told that to everybody.
Her idea was simple, some might chicken out of this situation, but everybody couldn’t possibly be the same, can he?
“Heh, to think you managed to run this far, praiseworthy indeed.”
While Amaya was still running, she heard a voice from her behind.
She quickly turned around and saw that 5 beings wearing black colored clothes were standing in front of her.
“However, this is the end, Amaya Skyfall.”
The leader of the assassins muttered.
Seeing them, Amaya sighed, all the energy left her body and she fell down.
“Are you giving up?”
The leader of the assassins questioned with a smile.
“Alright, this is enough, don’t get too involved in it. I am actually tired, running with a dagger pierced into my thigh, it’s a lot more painful than I thought.” Amaya sighed and at the same time, she removed the dagger from her thigh.
“Ugghh!”
She groaned in pain, covering the wound with her hand, and with her other hand, she drank a healing potion.
The leader of the assassins looked at her for a while and then, she sighed as well.
She walked towards Amaya and crouched.
“I can’t believe you pierced your own thigh.”
Thyra spoke while tending to Amaya’s wound.
“I can do anything for him. This is nothing.”
Amaya spoke with a smile on her face.
Thyra glanced at Amaya and smiled,
“This is why I acknowledge you. You are willing to go so far for him, just like me.”
The two of them looked at each other for a while and then,
“I am not into women, I only belong to him.”
Amaya clarified.
“I have the same thoughts.”
Thyra nodded as well.
She then continued to tend to Amaya’s wound and then, Amaya questioned.
“Did you bring what I told you to?”
Thyra didn’t say anything, she just pointed at the woman behind her.
Three stepped forward and nodded.
Soon, a body appeared on the floor.
“He was assaulting a woman.”
Three informed.
“Ah, perfect.”
Amaya smiled and ordered.
“Slit his throat, make sure a lot of blood drops on the ground.”
Three did what she was told and slot the man’s throat.
Amaya then waited for a few seconds, letting the blood fall on the ground and once she was satisfied, she pointed at the tree nearby and ordered,
“Drag him to that tree and burn his body.”
Three nodded, then she turned towards the people behind him.
“Ugghh! Why should I do it?”
Two complained.
“You have a problem?”
Three narrowed her eyes.
Two raised his hands in the air and stepped back.
“Alright, I will do it.”
He and the other assassin dragged the body to the tree and then burned it.
15 minutes later, nothing but ashes were left.
After that was done, Amaya ordered,
“Now erase all the traces within 1 minute.”
“Are you sure?” Thyra questioned.
“Just trust me.” Amaya smiled.
Thyra shrugged and waved her hands.
The other assassins nodded and 4 assassins started removing all the blood trail quickly, they even mixed the ashes with the mud in the ground and erased all the footsteps they could find.
Once this was done, Amaya smiled.
“Now we just need to wait for Nux.”
“Mhm.”
Thyra nodded.
…
On the other side, inside Evane’s room,
“WHAT!?” Nux shouted in shock.
“What happened?” Evane rushed towards Nux with a worried look on her face.
For Nux to act like this, something bad must have happened. She quickly forgot that her brother was there and waited for Nux’s answer, Nux, however, didn’t answer.
Evane quickly realized that he was using the telepathic connection to talk to someone and decided to wait.
Lovis, who saw this scene frowned.
Wasn’t he just a bodyguard? Evane’s Servant?
Why does he look like a leader?
What is this situation?
Can a servant just randomly shout like this in the middle of the night?
And even his Sister, why was she acting like this? Why is she so worried about a mere servant?
‘Wait… something is not right… that bitch took too much time to open the door, her face looks like she just wiped all the sweat, while her dress looks like she wore it in hurry…’
Lovis started connecting all the dots.
However, before he could come to a conclusion, Nux called out.
“Hey, Third Prince.”
“Huh? What?”
Lovis came out of his reverie.
“You should call your butler inside.”
“Huh? What are you talking about? I have not brought him here. Why would I bring him, I just came her-”
“You don’t have to come up with any excuses, I know that butler is outside, call him in,” Nux spoke.
“Are you doubting my words?” Lovis narrowed his eyes.
“Just call him in, it would be too late to regret if you don’t.” Nux wasn’t the least bit intimidated by his gaze and spoke nonchalantly.
Lovis frowned, “Are you threatening me?”
Nux sighed, “I am not threatening you, you fool. We will be surrounded soon, call him in, he would be of help.”
“Huh?” Lovis frowned.
“Why do you think someone would go as far as to write a fake letter to call you here? Just because you brother and sister can have a nice little chat?”
Nux didn’t need to explain more, Lovis understood, and with a serious look on his face, he ordered,
“Leo, come in.”
As if waiting for this order, the butler walked into the room with a frown on his face.
“Hmm, 2 Expert Stage Cultivators, 4 Grand Master Stage Cultivators… I think we have a fair chance in this battle.”
Nux muttered.
“Are you a fool? We only have 2 Grand Master Stage Cultivators. Me and you.” Lovis snorted.
“I know that, of course.” Nux nodded with a confused look on his face.
“Why did you say 4 Grand Master Stage Cultivators then?”
“I was talking about the enemies, you dumb fuck.”
