Nagging

Receiving the final order, Gerald understood her meaning. 

Even if the person might not have any powerful allies or people that might avenge him, they still needed to be careful.

And the best method of ensuring troubles won't come is if the trouble itself is eliminated. Hence, the order was telling him to kill, and Gerald was an expert in such matters. 

"Rest assured, Lady Mary. I guarantee that we won't have any troubles." Gerald responded solemnly, even lowering his head slightly. 

"I knew I could count on you," Mary said without looking back, exiting the tent.

Once Mary's presence was gone, Gerald's expression turned serious as his eyes beamed. 

"Those nearby have heard the order already, right?" Gerald said, even though no personnel were visible in the tent aside from him. 

However, a few seconds later, four people appeared from out of nowhere.
