Chapter 12 (2/2)
Suddenly there seemed to be a glimmer of light.
At this very moment, the giant ants were shouting loudly outside.
The sound was transmitted through the magic wand. The rumbling sound and slanders were slowly unifying into one.
“Bride! Bride! Bride!”
It was forming into a single word which is ‘bride’.
“Are you getting married without our permission?”
“Come out and say hello!”
“If you don’t come in, we are coming in instead!”
There was a vulgar sound that resounded wildly.
The three grandmothers, who were packing up their weapons and planning strategies, turned to Leticia. Casaro looked at her with one eye.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s just a provocation for us.”
Then she pulled out her two knives and shouted.
“Brothers of Halstead! Let’s get out of here!”
“Yes!”
All answered solemnly.
Bastian had a spear at the front and Alexa took out a throwing dagger.
Their spirits were as high as the sky. But their numbers were too disadvantageous.
As they have no Lord, the main force of the castle was absent.
Those demons, the giant ants, were formidable. They have sharp teeth, sickle-like forelegs, and a hard puffy exoskeleton.
In addition, as much as they risked their life and death with their attacks, it was obvious that they would be attacking with all their might.
So they better pop it out in advance.
Leticia took a step forward.
But then… She heard a voice that was as cold as ice.
‘What are you going to do next?’
Leticia just crouched down.
The next one…
She hasn’t thought about it.
Let’s say it’s good to talk about butane gas.
‘What would you say if people asked you how you knew that?’
She had nothing to say about.
Halstead Castle’s people hate devils to the core. The three grandmothers are extraordinary. They were rescued after being attacked by devils.
What would they think if they knew Leticia had this weird idea? What would happen if they discovered this kind of knowledge from her past life?
Everyone’s been nice, but if they would find out about this, they might change.
To be honest, it would be very scary.
She was so afraid of losing the warm interest and affection she received so far.
She didn’t know this fear existed, but even for a little, she felt fear in her hands.
The voice in her head penetrated the two facets of her brain.
‘Just pretend you don’t know. Let them take care of themselves.’
It was a voice full of control.
But Leticia was finally able to get out of it.
It was because of the glare that she could see now.
“You can’t take our castle away, you demons!”
Bastian shrieked and was disorganized before she knew it.
Normally, she worked hard and walked around without feeling uncomfortable with her legs. But in some cases of emergency, the pain came into it.
It’s not just it.
Casaro can’t use her other eye. Alexa is pale and sometimes coughs violently.
So she thought that she can’t just leave everything to them alone.
“The Lord and the Mistress are the two Lords of the Castle. When one of the owners leaves the castle, the other keeps it safe.”
Bastian said clearly.
So she couldn’t just leave it to them alone.
Even if they found out her secret and are discouraged. Would they let her go back to the old city temple where she is treated as a heavenly servant—?
‘I don’t want these people to get hurt anymore.’
Leticia decided.
She spoke will all might to the three grandmothers and the soldiers who were about to get dispatched.
“Wait a minute!”
They turned around.
“Mistress—.”
Bastian said with a sad face.
“I’m afraid the maids will stay here. We’ll all get back. I’ll give you a hug when I get back. Even if you’re scared, bear with it a little bit.”
“That’s not it…”
“Okay, then I’ll give you a hug now.”
Bastian opened her arms and hugged the little Madam.
‘No!’
Leticia got out of her hug with all her might.
“That’s not it!”
She said aloud to everyone.
“You don’t have to go out to fight right now. There’s a way to break into their nest here along with their queen and her subordinate ants.”
“What?”
Everyone was surprised and looked at Leticia.
No one expected what she just said, they were all bewildered.
