Chapter 134: Chapter 134
The boss took a step back, startled by Athy's sudden movement of closing the distance between them. Even the other men were startled by her.
"I don't like being woken up." Athy frown and a huge scythe appeared on her hand. "Pay for it with your life."
Athy swung the huge scythe with not much effort and almost chopped off the boss's head. She missed it by a few millimeters when the boss regained his senses. But she did chop off two hands of the other men who were slower to move away.
The boss unconsciously stroked his neck where Athy's scythe almost touched.
I bet he considers himself lucky.
The men whose arms were chopped cried in agony as they hugged their lacerated arm close to their bodies.
"Wha-what are you?" One of the men asked in fear.
"Not 'what' you idiot, 'who.'" Athy frowned. "I am the youngest daughter of House Castellan, Athanasia Castellan."
Athy held her scythe tighter and smiled devilishly.
"Get ready." She said and rushed forward.
Different body parts fell on the floor and blood spurted as Athy passed by the men in black. The leader who was standing behind his men pulled a short sword from behind him and tried to stop Athy's scythe with it.
A loud explosion followed by a clinking sound as metal hit the floor was heard. A hand still holding a short sword was on the ground. Blood sprayed on the ground where the hand and sword fell.
Unlike his men, the boss was calmer when his hand was cut. He engulfed the stump, where his hand used to be, with flames to stop the bleeding.
"All of you, withdraw now!" The boss barked and the black men started to move back.
"Withdraw where?" I asked and nodded towards their back.
Haktor, Klent, and Anderson were behind them, they were surrounded by us. The men in black were surprised that they were surrounded. They were too preoccupied to notice that the fights on the front has already ended and the Knights have surrounded them.
Loki came beside me without a sound.
"Lady Melody, your orders?" Haktor asked from the other side.
"Kill them all but keep the leader alive. We'll have a lot to talk about." I threw a smile at the boss before turning on my heel and going back to the carriage.
Athy also withdrew and followed me into the carriage. We can still hear the fighting behind us but ignored it. I trust my knights abilities won't disappoint.
"Loki, are there any casualties during the attack?" I asked before closing the door.
"Two coachmen are pierced by arrows and one of the knights received a blow across his eyes. Others are just superficial wounds and no one died." Loki reported.
"Okay." I nodded. "Go and check on Milia at the carriages behind ours. I told her to protect the people she saved so she is probably there on high alert. Tell her she can come back and sit with us or stay there until we get back."
Loki bowed and left for the other carriage. The fight was still ongoing between Haktor, Klent, Anderson and the men in black.
Inside the carriage, Miss Bloom was still reading some of the documents without a hint of worry. The disturbance outside did not waver her focus for even a moment.
Athy made an amazed face at me and glanced at Miss Bloom. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Lady Mel, please take a look at this." Miss Bloom suddenly spoke up as Athy and I were making faces at each other. "Uhmm.."
"Ehem!" I cleared my throat and we both sat straighter. I took the paper in her hand and started reading.
"Princess Nekiah of the succubus demon clan?" Athy read out loud. "She is on the item list?"
"A succubus." I frowned and glanced at Miss Bloom. "How in the world did they even get her?"
"Take a look at the owner of the item." Miss Bloom instructed making Athy and me look at the bottom of the paper.
"Dominic McClare?"
Miss Bloom nodded.
The eldest son of marquis house, McClare. He is a well-known collector of bizarre things and an even well-known hunter. Above all, he is a close friend to the current crown prince.
"No matter how good of a hunter he is, I don't think he will be able to defeat the succubus clan." I frowned.
"Unless the princess went out by herself and got caught in a trap." Athy interrupted.
"Or she willingly went with him." Miss Bloom added with a knowing look. "The eldest son of House McClare is also known for being handsome and charismatic."
A honey trap?
