Chapter 10 (1/2)

this chapter, we see a sliver of Lilliana’s prowess in battle And Sana too

How did it become like this?

Myour last e turn of events

Sana and I departed fro, accompanied by the same wonderful weather from yesterday There was much distance to cover until ould reach the territory, but we carried on without any troubleーthat isーuntil we found ourselves surrounded by these masked ruffians, which now leaves us in our current predicament

I sed an exasperated sigh that nearly burst fro to us Various questions came to mind, but first and foremost, who are these people?

「…and thaーHey! Are you even listening?!」

One of thearner my attention, but I couldn’t be bothered to even o However, the angry outburst did tipI considered before, but any insight I could gather on these ‘road blocks’ would be most fortuitous

Prior to our supposed entrap on our horses and came across someone collapsed on the road We feared the worst and dashed forth to check on their see condition The two of us decided to send for aid at once as our residence ithin close proximity, but e rounded the corner on the ns of life And that’s when they made their move

‘It was a set-up all along?’

I thought ere singled out as targets, born out of convenient opportunity, and not out of malicious intent

It appears I rong

The one who addressed us before barked for attention

「Hey! You’re that Lady Lilliana, right? Look, I don’t have any personal beef with you, but it just so happens someone else does What a shaht!」

It wasn’t utter despair that made my mouth run dry, but pure disbelief

Nighty-night?

Does this fool not hear what he speaks?

His childish threat stunned ained s In total, there were eight of thesenor any sense of blood lust e from the shadows

This was all of them

How should I proceed from here?

Sana stood byard of the whole situation infla ire

「Do you understand the danger you are in? We are gonna wipe you off the face of the earth! Just how idiotic do you have to be to let a noblehter and her maid travel by themselves?!」

He drew a deep breath and shuddered as the tension left his frame A smile replaced his once twisted expression

「Well, not that I’ It onna send you tn to the netherworld Send ards to my parents!」

At the end of his spiel, they swooped down to attack

‘Before I return home, shall I remind them of their place?’

Although they had the benefit of a preemptive strike, I could tell that our opponents lacked proper co It was clear they didn’t utilize their nue hable; there was no unity a them and there were literal holes in their formation as each member stumbled towards us at different speeds and intervals

I turned nal to meet their blades with our own

Let’s show them how it’s done

With no hesitation, Sana withdrew her concealed weapon I favored the sword, but Sana’s personal choice was the whip However, it does have a particular drawback whenever she wields it

「Plotting harainst Lady Lilliana… how dare you! Grovel on the cold hard ground and beg for forgiveness! Oh, you can be rest assured that I’ll be the reason that makes you dread the day you were born into this world!」
