Chapter 4: Devor Lambert's True Self (Part 1)

Outside the Velmont family's gates were a group of 5 individuals all wearing the same black trench coat, each with different number of white stripes possibly signifying rank, a golden badge that had a head of an unknown creature as its design on their shoulder and lastly a mask that looked too sci-fi for this world that had 2 runic symbols on each cheek.

One of the individuals with 3 stripes spoke out with a robotic voice, most likely an effect from one of the 2 symbols on their masks.

"Dont forget who lives here, we can't afford to offend Duke Velmont. Reign in your ego unless you want to lose your head without even fighting back." A stern warning from him.

"Is the Duke really that powerful?" The only 1-stripe in the group asked in doubt of his superiors words.

"Powerful enough to fight an entire army by himself, the rumors of him killing a hundred dragon riders is no rumor but fact."

Turns out what John told Dweller about his father killing a hundred dragons was true, though him killing them with just his toe is still highly doubtful.

"Duke Velmont is our kingdom's only Multi-Caster mastering both the Nature and Runic class."

"A Multi-Caster!? Some disgusting perverted pig actually dared to target this person's family? Is he seeking death?"

"He probably thought he could do the same thing as he did with those 2 other girls. The man we're here for today is the recently identified pedophile named Devor Lambert. He is a user of the forbidden Runic spell [Mind Control], Despite our agency's attempt of keeping the spell hidden, it still managed to be leaked through bribery and corrupt agents. It seems he was too trusting of the spell and thought it would last forever and because of that he did not bother to change his name at all. His first target, Laurein Grant, suddenly woke up screaming and told her parents about everything that Devor had done to her."

The more their superior talked, the more angered the group felt. To think such a man is of the same species as them.

"Angered and filled with rage the Grant family immediately contacted us to find this person and have him brought to their family to be, as the report quotes: "Given to the pigs naked and be forcefully raped by the pigs and have his insides slit open as he watches it be feasted upon by the same pigs that violated him...."

Following those words one of the individuals began to vomit. "UGH! BRUUEHFHUF!...." As they did the other rune on their mask shined. Possibly there to clean it. Makes you wonder what they do in their job to have such a function on their mask ready 24/7.

Another individual that had the 2nd highest number of stripes of the group at 2 stripes patted the kid's back to comfort him. "Welcome to the force kid... You're gonna get used to these kinds of work after some time... But look at the bright side atleast your first vomit was from a report. My first one was from seeing the real thing on site."

"Ahem... Anyways after the Grant family shared this information we managed to locate another minor noble family that had also hired Devor as a tutor for their 2 kids, we sent over an agent accompanied with medically trained agents to explain everything to the parents and help calm their daughter down that might soon remember everything. Of course we asked both families to keep quiet about the case for now as that could risk causing the target to either have his face changed or go into hiding making it harder to find this bastard. Any questions?"

"Can I be the one to arrest him?" A 1-striped member asked, despite the voice mask changing their voice, anyone could easily tell that this person was a woman with the giant mounds strapped onto her chest.

"And risk having you kill him before the Grant's can have their revenge? Sorry but no."

"Tch.. worth a shot asking..." Sad that she couldnt be the one to kill him. In her frustrstion she kicked a tiny pebble.

pebble: ; - ;

Suddenly a maid on the other side of the gate appeared, worried and suspicious of the people in black clothing but because of her job she could not just ignore them and so with that reasoning she gathered whatever courage she had and approached them.

"W-Who are you people!? This is the home of the Velmont family! If you are going to cause a disturbance I-I will scream for help!".

Noticing the maid the 3-striped went closer to the gate to explain the situation. "Goodmorning maam, We're agents from Manticore. We came here today as we have recieved reports that a Devor Lambert is here and we're here to arrest him. So there is no need to be alarmed, we mean no harm to you or the Velmont Family."

"Gasp! From Manticore!? My apologies! I-I will quickly send word to my superior. Please wait until then!" Hearing that they were from Manticore is quite shocking. If she were just a normal commoner then she would not know anything about it but eversince she was employed as maid here, she has heard scary rumors of this group and was scared that she may have offended them by her earlier actions.

"We understand." Hearing the intimidating person of the group give his understanding. She ran off to find either the head butler or the head maid.

Soon enough Head Butler Peter arrived. "The Duke permits you to enter, follow me." With a snap of Peter's fingers, the gates started to open.

"...What a fancy way to open a gate." The 1-striped complimented before following his group in.

========

Inside the Duke's study....

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Your grace, the Manticore agents are here."

Hearing Peter's words, Duke Arbor stopped what he was doing and readied himself to meet them.

"Let them in." The door opened and in came a group of 5 with Peter in the front.

"Leave us."

Peter gave his grace a bow before silently leaving the room.

"Cut to the chase. What are Manticore agents doing on my property?" The usually calm and kind voice that the duke had was no where to be heard. Instead an Intimidating atmosphere surrounded them the moment he spoke.

Although the 3 1-striped agents weren't able to notice it, the 2-striped and 3-striped that remained standing were able to see the Duke's tongue glow only for a moment. Showing them that this intimidating feeling was just from the Duke's use of runic magic.

"Of course your grace, this is what happened..."

5 minutes later...

*BANG!*

"Hieeh!" a 1-striped jumped from the sudden loud bang.

Staring down on the Duke's fist that was lodged into his desk, The 3-striped remained quiet. He could understand why the Duke was enraged. A pervert that dares to target his 6yr old daughter, who wouldn't jump in anger.

"PETER!" The Duke's loud voiced amplified by the runic magic he casted beforehand echoed throughout the entirety of the Velmont's manor. Many servants fell to their knees from such an overpowering voice.

"Yes your grace?" Head Butler Peter entered the room swiftly and calmly, unaffected by the duke's outrage.

"GET ME MY SWORD AT ONCE!"

"I already have it here your grace." Said Peter as he held out a decorated sword towards the duke.

if anyone were to pay close attention, they'd notice the veins bulging on Peter's forehead. To hear that Chelsy that was like a granddaughter to him was possibly being violated by such a pig angered him. But he was a butler, he could not show such lack of control on his emotions to his master, no matter how angry he was.

Without waiting the Duke grabbed the sword right out of Peter's hands and ran towards the classroom, the Manticore agents and Peter followed after.

'Chelsy my baby please be safe! Papa's coming to save you!'

The Duke prayed to every god that he knew of, begging for his daughter to be safe

The group ran as fast as they could passing the Duchess Aina by without noticing her.

"Dear?! What's going! I could hear your voice all the way from the garden! Wait who are these people?! Peter what the hell is going on?!"

Peter detached himself from the group for a moment "There is an emergency involving the children. Please ma'am just wait in your room and pray for good news." and with those words Peter dashed off towards the classroom again.

"My children!?" Hearing that one of her children is involved caughter her attention, but sadly couldnt get anymore information since Peter just left without any further explanation. All she could do was chase after them at the speed of a normal person.

======

In the classroom a few minutes before Duke Arbor and his group arrives....

The sound of flesh being smashed in repeatedly echoed in the classroom.

{ Oh my... The maids are definitely gonna need a raise in pay to clean all of this... }
