Chapter 9

"He teleported" I mumbled the he must've teleported somewhere near since they might've thought I am just a sick person so there is no need to go that far.

Now where would a rat probably mark. As if struck by a lightning I looked at the direction of the carriage.

I dashed towards the direction of the carriage.

There's no way they would mark anything other than that. I know Ian and Ion can at least handle him I can't help but get worried.

Ian and Ion looked at the guy infront of them who suddenly fainted. The two blinked as if dumbfounded their long lashes fluttered as they blinked.

"Why did he faint?" Cimmerian asked astonished.

"Because you're ugly" Zion retorted as if it's obvious making Cimmerian look at him.

"Hmph as if I'm cuter and a lot more handsome than you who is ugly." Cimmerian proudly said.

"As if stop being delusional"

"Tssk your just ugly"

"F u"

"What did you say ?" Cimmerian asked annoyed.

"F u" Zion repeated.

"Idiot"

"Why what's wrong with letter f and u huh?"

I looked at the sight infront of me dumbfounded. I really did worry for nothing.

The guy I was chasing was so pale and have passed out. While Ian and Ion are fighting. Zion punching Cimmerian while on top of him.

Ian's long hair is a mess anyways they both looked like a mess. They seem to be talking to each other but I don't understand what they are saying since they they're talking to fast.

I coughed to take their attention. Successfully getting their attention they both stopped and sat straight. At the same time the casted healing and cleaning spell making there messed up appearance look organised again.

Cimmerian passed the ponytail to Zion and Zion znatched it irritatingly and tied Cimmerians hair again.

I looked at the guy who fainted then asked the two of them what happened. The two a

have an innocent look on there face.

"We just greeted him."

"Greeted?'

"Yes he suddenly appeared and someone told us that you should greet people you meet and introduce yourselves properly." Ian remarked while raising his index finger. As Ion nodded his head in agreement.

As if forgetting how the incident at the auction house Ezenta just smiled.

How can someone faint looking at this cute angels. Wait Angels? Sigh it would be more proper to say cute devils. Though it is true they are cute.

"Guard him for now I need to take care of our dear guests, and don't fight"

Leaving them I went to where the two assassins are paralyzed.

I looked down at the two person laid on the ground in moving. Along the paralysis poison the other effect is making the target be in a long sleep. It will take at least three days before they wake up.

I dragged their bodies on a tree and tied them in it. It's better to be safe than sorry since they are not ordinary people.

"Vesper we have visitors on the forest near the mansion take them underground the house for now."

"Underground?"

"You can go there through the kitchen...."

With my back at Vesper as I sat on a chair facing outside where I can completely see the forest, my eyes turned fierce.

"Don't touch them yet until I say so and call me when they wake up. And I assume you have connections outside I have a work for you."

"...yes"

I reached out some papers to him that I have been holding.

Flipping of papers can be heard at the silent room. No body spoke until Vesper finished reading.

Vesper immediately burned the the pages one by one on the candle on the office table leaving ashes.

"What do you think,think about it then talk to me about it in the future."

I said then turned to him.

"I expect you to keep that to yourself. And the work I need you to do is simple just look for the kids background and send this letter to my dearest mother".

Without saying a word Vesper bowed then left the office.

When not even a trace of him can be seen I looked at ashes in the table and a small smile appeared on my face.

______________

I looked at the lady Infront of me as I kneeled. The Duchess of Arundell dukedom she was respected person among the noble and aristocrat circle.

But behind that respectable front she works underground not as someone powerful but a mere dog under a leash. But I cannot say something since I am worse what am I if I work under a dog?

I was wondering how far can she go with her head raised up with pride. I serve under her as a spy sent by Vere I hate to admit it but unfortunately he is my master. Since his target has long been the guy above Duchess Arundell.

"Aiden,what do this mean!?"

She said and threw a paper in front of him and there a letter is written.

Dear Mother,

How have you been this days? I was worried since you did not look well the last time you visited. Please take care of you health. Do you know that this morning I received a very grand gift. I want to give the sender a gift as a thank you but sadly the sender did not state its name. I wish you the best condition before we meet mother as you know I hate seeing mother in bad condition since we did not spend a mother and child bonding yet.

By your loving daughter,

LYRA

"Why is that girl still alive and was even able to send a letter."

"....."

Vere said this girl was on a deal with the Crown prince through the Archduke.

"They cannot even deal with a sick girl!"

I silently listened to her complains. And looked back at the letter. It seems like the Duchess do not know Lyra well. If she got the deal with his highness then they might've provided protection for her or either the girl itself is extraordinary.

"Investigate if she knows anything about the assassination."

"Yes" I said then walked out. There's already a big possibility that she knows especially with that guy on her side. And if she knew even without that guy then she might've known the story behind her mother.
