57 Chapter 57: Assassination Attemp (1/2)

Morning came quicker than expected leaving Lambert grumbling as he slowly got up of the bed, disentangling himself from Aura and Tosca, luckily it didn't wake them and they quickly found each other under the blankets, continuing to sleep while hugging each other.

Lambert walked towards a nearby table and started placing some books down on it, a stack of five massive thick books encased in old leather bindings, on top of it he placed an envelope which read ”To Tosca”. Lambert then placed another envelope next to the stack of books that read ”To Aura”, after finishing he gave the cuddling girls a final look before leaving the room.

Lambert has been making preparations for some time, he was planning to do some traveling again but needed to first settle Masaomi and Cleria's issue, with that settled he could finally continue with his plans, he just needed the right moment to leave in which he wouldn't have to deal with a driveling Aura.

'Maybe I'm just being a bastard....meh' Lambert thought as he continued on leaving the palace.

Unexpectantly he ran into Yasaka on his way, she was currently holding a little baby in her arms while soothingly singing to her. Hearing somebody approach she looked up and saw Lambert, seeing him she gave him a smile.

”Good morning.”

She greeted him as she approached.

”Good morning to you to Lady Yasaka...” Lambert greeted back before turning his attention to the little child, ”...and who might this little treasure be?” he asked while staring at the cute little baby in Yasaka's hands.

”This is Kunou, my daughter,” Yasaka said as she stared at Kunou and stared affectionately at her. Kunou had little golden hair and fox ears on her head and while Lambert couldn't really see it as she was covered in a blanket he knew she also had nine fox tails just like her mother.

”She is beautiful,” Lambert said with praise as he gave the girl a good look, she was currently sleeping giving her a peaceful look.

Suddenly lamberts eyes squinted and turned cold, he placed his hand on Yasaka's shoulder and before she could react to his sudden movement, he pushed her forward, causing her to look at him in confusion on for her face to become pale as a blade cleaved down just where she was standing a moment ago.

Seeing that his attack missed the assassin made a move to retreat, but right in front of Yasaka a blinding flash of white light came for a nanosecond before it died down, the assassin still in its movements of making an escape fell to the ground as his legs and arms fell off.

Yasaka stared in shock as the assassin finally interpreted the pain he was feeling and started screaming, standing right next to the assassin was Lambert, currently holding a pure white sword that had a light white flame dancing on the blade.

Although Yasaka was shocked she still manage to rain in her emotions quit quickly, before calling out.

”Guards, there is an assassin in the palace!”

Not that she needed to since the screaming assassin was making enough noise to reach every guard stationed within a few hundred meters. They soon stormed into the hall surrounding Yasaka for protection with Lambert in one circle and the assassin in another.

”Take him away for interrogation, I want to know who wants me dead!”

Yasaka ordered the guards and they complied, next she turned to Lambert and her face melted into one of gratitude.

”Thank you, Lambert- San, if it wasn't for you then...”

She couldn't continue with her words as she thought of the consequences if she didn't have Lambert there with her when the assassin struck.
