—

While glancing down at Owen and his posse, I dusted off ht now, they were all scattered here and there on the ground, unconscious

For asfor his life, I hit him on a pressure point just to shut him up and render him unconscious

Just in time, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard so’

Diana furtively glanced at me and made eye contact, then she hid herself

She was currently disguised as an ordinary maid, so it would put her in a difficult spot if she’s seen wearing clothes that were stained with dirt and blood

So now the current situation could be seen as this—that only Cassion and I were the ones who confronted the Black Lion Guild

“Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

With those footsteps in the background, I asked this question to Cassion

But instead of answering right away, he gave that rare smile that made hiround”

He answered playfully, but I could see that his words contained his sincere pride

Anyway, he’d show that cute side of him from time to time

While he stood tall, there was a triumphant look in his eyes

“Yup, you were so cool”

But when I said this, his boyish expression hardened He turned his head to the side aardly as though he was a broken rabbed hold of his arm as he turned away, but he didn’t answer

All he did was to turn his head further and used his other hand to touch the back of his neck

…This,shy?”

I did ask, but I didn’t really need to hear the answer He was obviously feeling bashful right now

His earlobes were red, and even the back of his neck was red…

Don’t tell‘cool’, but then you got this embarrassed?

I wanted to tease hi footsteps were getting closer

“Even if you’re feeling euards will be here soon”

Withjoke, I stood up

And acted as though I’d been waiting for the guards all this tiht suddenly occurred to me

Wasn’t it a bit… too loud?

Only five arrests would be uards would have sufficed

Then again, the approaching footsteps sounded to be much more than just ten people

I don’t know if that loud sound was caused by horses’ hoovesthat this wasme

“Rosetta!”

My eyes widened as I heard the voice of a totally unexpected person

Soon enough, the approaching crowd began to appear

As it’s already been guessed, the number of people ell over ten

And at the head of that group was the owner of the voice that had just called out to rave expression on his face

“…Brother?”

It was Damian

He, as at the very front of the group, jumped off his horse as soon as he found round hastily and soon strode forward He looked like a boar rushi+ng forward

“Br—”

“Are you alright?”

Now standing in front of ht at one froer, it seemed like his voice was laced with concern

I nodded back wordlessly

I didn’t expect Damian to come here in person, to be honest, so I’m a bit taken aback

“I’s you…”

“You sent me a letter You said that there are criminals in this place”

Yeah, I did say that in the letter

Right That’s really what I said, but…

When he put it that way, didn’t the nuance sound kind of strange?

It sounds al

“To beto escape, that’s why I asked for the guards as reinforceuards withonly guards…”

I glanced over to the pack of people behind hiroup of more or less fifty people

So what seehthood

My head started to throb

I ht, but I didn’t know he’d bring this hed at the serious athts, Dahts with erous situation I’lad you’re not hurt”

“…Ah, yes Um… Maxwell protected me, so I’ Maxwell

When compliments flowed in this way, that’s when they felt the most sincere

Daolden eyes shi+fted to the side of

“Maxwell”

“Yes, Young Duke”

A stern call was followed by a stern answer

Damian looked over at Cassion and the collapsed men scattered around us Then, he spoke

“You’re still only a teht, but you did well”
