Pov Kira:
When I spotted the carriage and the soldiers I fell silent, I waited until I was close enough for the other four Assassin nobles to see before I warned them.
“They are getting closer.” (I)
“Prepare yourselves!” (Noble B)
“Be ready to use all the scrolls, let’s kill them all.” (Noble C)
“This is our chance to leave this Kingdom full of lesser races.” (Noble A)
“We’re just going to have this opportunity, don’t make a mistake.” (Noble D)
Everyone including me removed the scrolls and some high-quality Mana potions from our storage items, these idiot nobles were silent for the first time until the moment the target was in position.
“Now, fire all spells!” (Noble C)
Once the soldiers and the chariot were in place the nobles began to cast spells from the scrolls, before the spell reached its target they switched to a new scroll to attack again.
I don’t have as much mana as they do, but they weren’t paying attention to me, so I just cast a few spells and tucked away the rest of the scrolls unnoticed.
The spells I cast were not directed at the soldiers, my target was placed where the attack spells of the other four nobles were close to each other, by hitting my magic on the others and making it explode, the others that were nearby also exploded in the sky where it wouldn’t hurt anyone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
But even with that, I could only intercept a little more than forty percent of the magic attacks, unfortunately, most of the attacks hit the soldiers and I could hear screams even from this distance.
Boom! Boom!
AHHH!!!!
After consuming almost all the high-level Mana potions and wiping out all the magic scrolls, the nobles were breathless and tired.
“Don’t let them recover, attack!” (Noble A)
With the scream of this nobleman, I named Noble A in my mind the others pulled weapons out of their storage items and everyone started running downhill to attack the carriage as they screamed and laughed aloud.
“Hahahaha!!!” (Noble D)
“Don’t leave anyone alive, let’s kill them all!” (Noble C)
I ran along with them, I no longer needed to pretend the same way I did before, I’ll let them scream and be distracted, all I need now is to be upfront and wait for the faceless brothers to show up.
As soon as we get on the road I see half the soldiers dead, of the ten that are left, seven are badly wounded, only three are fine and run towards us by the time we appeared, Noble A who was the most aggressive ran to him thinking it would be easy kill a soldier, but as soon as their swords came into contact the lack of combat experience showed, the soldier used his sword to defend Noble A’s sword then used his other hand to punch Noble A’s head causing him to pass out, then used her sword to stab his head.
“Finish them!” (Soldier)
At the soldier’s scream the others started to attack too, but suddenly everyone heard a scream coming from the carriage and turned to see, it was a soldier with different armor, it must be the royal guard.
“Traitors, soldiers protect the prince!” (Royal Guard)
Ahhhhh!
“Captain!” (Soldier)
I, who was closest, made two soldiers faint, who was the one who attacked first and one more, the other nobles saw me attacking and defeating the distracted soldiers and attacked the others too, they killed the other soldier who was fine and started to kill those who they were screaming.
I couldn’t do anything else without revealing my disguise, so I could only see this cruelty, but it didn’t last long, after they killed only two wounded soldiers the door that was visible to us was opened and a Cat woman, two wounded servants and a man with green hair ran out of there, at the same time a man and a woman dressed in white clothes and white masks came out on the other side of the carriage, I imagine they must be our targets.
“Where do you think the third prince is running!?” (faceless brother)
“<streams of light>” (Sister without a face)
The woman was being supported by the man and seemed to be tired, but still, she raised one of her arms and a large magic circle instantly appeared, from that magic circle came four bright white chains that flew towards those who fled trapping the prince and his servants.
“You bastards, I knew you were planning something, but I didn’t expect you to capture me.” (Prince Drago)
“I think there was a misunderstanding prince, we are not here to capture you.” (faceless brother)
“If you don’t want to capture me then…” (Prince Drago)
“Do you want to kill me?!” (Prince Drago)
“But if you do, it will provoke a war between our Realms.” (Prince Drago)
The woman looks even weaker after casting this spell and starts to tremble, Prince Drago and the faceless brother begin to argue.
The faceless brother is just arguing with the prince as he checks the situation around him, as soon as he sees that all the soldiers are disabled he turns towards us and I feel a slight bloodlust directed at me and the four idiot nobles, but these fools have not noticed, the strange thing is that neither the man nor the woman is emitting this bloodlust towards the prince who should be their main target.
“Come here, you did well and will be well rewarded for it.” (faceless brother)
“We carry out all orders as requested, we expect you to keep your end of the bargain.” (Noble A)
“You’ve done your part and you’ll get what you deserve, come closer.” (faceless brother)
His bloodlust increased a little more, all the nobles started walking towards him I moved to stand in front.
As soon as we’re close enough I see him tighten the hilt of his sword, but before he can do anything lightning strikes him from behind and he drops the woman to the ground to fend off the surprise attack, just as he turns to defend myself I pulled a poison dagger from my storage item which I used to pierce him in the back.
Ahhh!!!
“Traitor!” (faceless brother)
“BROTHER!!!” (Sister without a face)
Before the woman could complete the magic circle that started to appear in front of her someone in a red tunic, hood and mask appears with extreme speed behind her and hit her head making her faint.
“SISTER!!!” (faceless brother)
“Who are you!?” (faceless brother)
As he screamed his body wouldn’t budge from the place thanks to the paralyzing poison I bought, Byakko’s lightning attack gave me the perfect opportunity to hurt him.
A dark purple bolt came out of the bushes and hit the faceless brother’s body, after being hit by five more dark purple bolts he began to snore while standing in the same position he defended the lightning attack.
I see another person in red clothes come out of the bushes, I turn to see another person dressed in red on top of the three nobles who are unconscious.
“Run Prince!” (Employee)
I look in the direction I heard the scream which is where I see the prince who tries to run now that the white chains are gone but stops suddenly and shouts for his servants to stop too.
“Stop!!!” (Prince Drago)
The prince looks into the shadow of a tree with a look of dread, when I look over there I see a small person come out of the shadows of the trees dressed in the same red outfit and mask.
“What are you!?” (Prince Drago)
“What a rude way to talk to someone Prince Drago.” (Zenos)
“Run!!” (Prince Drago)
“I didn’t say you could go.” (Zenos)
Didn’t know the master could change his voice too, the prince for some reason seems to be more afraid of the master than he was the faceless brothers, as he yells for his servants to run the master’s Aura explodes and envelops us all, I and the others were fine this time, I was even comfortable with the master’s Aura, but the prince and his servants fall to the ground with pale faces.
The girls and I use chains to tie up the faceless brothers, then I put a handcuff on them that will stop the energy flow in their bodies so they won’t be able to escape, then we go to the master and stay behind him.
“You did good infiltrating them.” (Zenos)
“Thank you for your words master.” (I)
I answer him still disguising my voice.
“Prince Drago, I didn’t come here for you, but I can’t miss an opportunity.” (Zenos)
“Tell your maid to collect all storage items from everyone but her and the faceless brothers and throw them to me.” (Zenos)
“Do as he said.” (Prince Drago)
The master pulled out his Aura, so we were watching the Cat woman collect all the storage items, so she threw it to us I got it.
“Remove everything from inside.” (Zenos)
I obeyed and reiterated everything that was inside the storage items in front of the master.
“Collect all the money on those rings, leave the rest behind.” (Zenos)
“Get the faceless brothers.” (Zenos)
As the master said, I put all the money in the ring-shaped storage items he gave and left the rest behind, meanwhile, the others went to get the faceless brothers that Erica must have used a float spell to carry them back. of the master.
“I didn’t come for you prince, I came for them, now that I’ve got what I want I’m leaving, take care of the wounded.” (Zenos)
“Who are you? Why did you help me?” (Prince Drago)
“I didn’t come here to help you, saving you was just the consequence of capturing these two.” (Zenos)
“I should have known something was going to happen the moment she sent me over to deliver that letter.” (Prince Drago)
The prince takes a card from the ring and plays it in front of the master.
“Two days ago I received two letters from my sister, one of them was written with my name, when I read it it just said for me to deliver the other letter to a small and chaotic person.” (Prince Drago)
“…” (Zenos)
“That can only be you, don’t worry there’s nothing in the letter for me to track you down, I appreciate your help and I wouldn’t want someone like you as an enemy.” (Prince Drago)
The master takes the letter, opens it, and begins to read, before long he finishes and throws the letter on the ground.
“Burn the letter.” (Zenos)
Erica uses a small focus ball to burn the letter.
“Let’s go.” (Zenos)
We followed the master into the trees, keeping an eye on the prince and his servants until we were too far away to see them, then headed to various places to confirm we were being followed before heading back to camp.
