47 Busy Night part 1 (1/2)

”Shall we wait for them here?” After leaving across the south gate of the city, Cassidy's group ran for more 500 meters when Mia suggested waiting for Lucien.

Mia knew the Black Hand Party group as she worked with them for almost a year, but Maggie lived with them for more than five years. She knew that they would chase them quickly.

”If we wait, the scouts will track us. Does he want you to take that risk?”

Aira and her daughter, Ella, didn't know what to think. They were terrified because they knew that Cassidy was the supposedly dead Queen, so they feared that mercenaries and adventurers would blame them for treason or something like that.

But she didn't blame Cassidy. After a year of living together, they became friends, and Aria would follow Cassidy without a second thought. It wasn't hard to see what was going on between Cassidy, Mia, and Lucien, so Aria wanted to give her opinion.

”If you want to wait for him, I don't mind... After all, he fought for us...”

*Roar* *Meow*

Oya and Ko could not understand words, but they understood the intention, and could already recognize Lucien's name, so they ”roared” to make their point clear.

Cassidy wanted to go further, but she also couldn't deny that she was worried about Lucien. ”Let's hide near the trees and wait for them.”

The group sat under some trees as they looked at the gate, waiting for Lucien and Astrid to come. Oya did not leave Maggie's side as her master ordered. Ella laid her head on her mother's thighs, while Mia did the same with Cassidy.

Cassidy started patting Mia on the head as she thought about how it all happened so fast. She needed Lucien's help and still does because there was still some of the poison in her body...

But she never thought that she would be with a man in her life... and it was her daughter's future husband... She didn't even have a romantic relationship with Mia's father, so everything she felt for Lucien was new to her... New and intense...

Cassidy was less than an hour without Lucien, but she already missed him a lot...

Mia looked up and saw Cassidy's sad look. She imagined that her mom was feeling the same as her. ”Are you missing him already?”

”No... I... I'm just worried... about Astrid...” Cassidy had already decided to stay with Lucien and her daughter, even if it was something unusual. Still, she can't help being ashamed that her daughter could easily perceive her feelings.

Mia smiled, seeing her mother blush. ”You don't have to lie to me...You know... We have the same husband now...”

”Husband?!” Cassidy was caught off guard by Mia's words. After all, mother and daughter having the same husband was a ridiculous situation.

Mia made a confused expression when she thought of something. ”As our husband, will he also be my stepfather, your son-in-law, and the king?”

”What?! I can't think of these things right now!” Cassidy couldn't imagine how crazy it would be if she recovered the crown... What would people call them?

”Crazy people!” Maggie was going crazy, listening to Mia and Cassidy's conversation. She started using her vision magic to look for possible dangers, and stop listening to those strange things.

Everything seemed normal. Some guards at the gate, but almost no movement as it was at night... After a few minutes, Maggie saw some Black Hand Party scouts arriving at the gate.

”Some mercenaries arrived at the gate, we have to go now, or they will find us!”

Cassidy did not doubt that the scouts could follow their tracks easily, so she prepared to leave... But Maggie warned them that the scouts had already discovered them, there was probably someone with high tracking skills in the group of mercenaries.

”We have to go now!” Everyone followed Cassidy's order and started running in the opposite direction of the city. As they ran, Maggie spoke her thoughts.

”For them to have found us so quickly, it must be Francis's group. If It is him, we cannot escape because he is the best tracker I know.”

”I will stay and hold them. Take care of my daughter!” Aria knew the situation was urgent and didn't think twice about stopping. She held the shield and sword that Mia gave her and prepared herself to distract the group of mercenaries while Cassidy and the others fled.

Of course, she couldn't just run while her mother stayed behind, so she also stopped, holding her little dagger while she shivered with fear.

Cassidy also didn't want to leave Aria behind and stopped while trying to get more information from Maggie. ”How many are they?”

Maggie didn't know if she feared more Lucien or the mercenaries. Betrayal was punished with death in the Black Hand Party. ”I saw about ten, but there must be others following them. We can't stay!”

Cassidy took Aria's hand and started running; the others followed. ”Let's run as hard as we can, and when they reach us, we will fight together.”

Cassidy was so concerned about the mercenaries finding them so fast that she forgot she could communicate with Lucien by telepathy. But now that the situation was critical, she would have to try it.

”Lucien! Lucien!! Can you hear me??? Oh shit! How does it work???” She tried to think and shout his name in her mind, but mental communication needed training to be perfected. Of course, cases like Lust, who is literally inside Lucien, were much more natural.

Cassidy kept trying, and after a few seconds, she was relieved when she heard Lucien's voice in her mind. ”I'm coming! Where are you?”

She said that they were south of the city and that a group of mercenaries has almost reached them. Lucien told them to keep running while he increased his speed.
