Chapter 77 - The Hunt (2) (2/2)

”Save your condolences for the many children and servants that also died that night. Just remember that my brother was only one such fatality.” Simon said with a cold voice as he turned around and walked towards a group of three.

'This one should be Talise, naturally the others belong to the team.'

”O, if it isn't Mr Crypts? You still haven't given me that duel, I am still waiting.” Talise spoke as she saw Simon approaching the group. The group finally had 5 members together, with Simon being the only male. A skilled master could probably sense Simon's annoyance at this point.

”I am too tired to duel you, I would rather save my strength for the hunt.” Simon said as he yawned.

”You must be Rieza.”

”Yes, a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you, I think. Not sure if you will slit my throat if I be too friendly.” She joked as she gestured towards her neck.

”Do not worry, that guy insulted the Blood Monarch's guards. I could not take an insult to her Bloodness, so I executed him. I am sure that no one here would do something treasonous, no?”

Simon lied as naturally as he breathed.

”Of course not. I fully understand what you mean. That guy was a jerk anyway. He tried to grab my b.u.t.t when I first got here. I ended up smashing his head into the wall.” Rieza recalled with a devilish grin.
