Chapter 111 – The Organization Looks For Trouble
"They actually own this inn!?"
Lawrend asked her in shock. He had been staying here for a week, yet he never knew.
"Yes. I saw their emblem right at the pot on the entrance."
Aleshia nodded her head and said to him.
"Do they know you and me?"
Lawrend asked her with a frown.
"I don't know. At first, I thought it was just a design on the pot but seeing this little catgirl being treated like this, I'm sure of it now."
Aleshia said to him.
"Tsk. Let's go."
Lawrend clicked his tongue in displeasure. He then headed out to leave through the door.
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. I wonder why you looked familiar. It seems like you are the Deserter Aleshia."
But just as Lawrend was about to leave the room, a woman wearing tight black clothing stopped him. The only thing you could see from her body was her eyes. There were daggers sheathed all over her body.
She was the same woman that helped Elena find Lawrend's room.
"You know me?"
Aleshia stared at the woman warily.
"Of course I do. After you stopped reporting to the branch at Lanika City for a week, your branch sent a report that you were dead. But you showed up again at Lanika City the very same day they sent the report."
The woman smiled at the end of her words.
"I wonder what that could possibly mean?"
She stared at Aleshia.
"What do you want?"
Aleshia asked her in a heavy voice.
"I want you to come with me. I'll show you why we named ourselves the Blood Flower Assassin Organization."
The woman smirked licentiously as she licked her lips.
"Don't you know that I'm under the Undrasil Mage Academy's protection?"
Aleshia replied to her.
"You are?"
The woman widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't think that Aleshia would be under the Undrasil Mage Academy's protection.
"Yes."
Aleshia raised a gold medallion from her pocket.
"Bitch!"
The woman cursed with gritted teeth after seeing it. She really couldn't do anything to Aleshia.
"Then… I'll make do and torture your 'Master' instead."
The woman turned her eyes to Lawrend.
"No! I'll not let you do that."
Aleshia stood forward and hid Lawrend behind her. This time, she was gonna fulfill her duty and protect him.
"Is that so? A puny assassin like you who's not much stronger than a True Sword?"
The woman looked at Aleshia mockingly. She was clearly aware of how powerful Aleshia was.
"Master, run away with her if you can!"
Aleshia shouted without looking back. She didn't dare take her eyes off the woman in front of her.
"What are you saying?"
Aleshia felt Lawrend hold her shoulder, and she jolted in shock.
"You want to protect me, but I also want to protect you. What do you think should happen?"
Lawrend asked her as he massaged her shoulder.
"We'll fight together?"
Aleshia replied.
"That's right. I'm not weak anymore. We should rely on each other."
Lawrend said to her.
"M-Master…"
Aleshia's heart melted when she heard Lawrend's words. She didn't think she would ever hear him say such words before.
"Tsk. Annoying lovebirds. After you had your sexy time alone, you're flirting in front of me? I'll capture the both of you, and you'll watch as I torture him!"
The woman shouted in anger.
"+Demonic Arc+!"
Lawrend didn't dilly-dally anymore, and he used his red lightning magic. It arced from his open hands and onto a dagger on her body.
"Ahhh!"
The woman screamed, and she held her arm in pain. Red droplets of blood trickled down her arm and fell to the floor.
"O' Azazel of Death, the scapegoat of god, Curse!"
Aleshia took this chance and chanted her spell. Her hand turned pitch black and the woman's body followed the same.
"Kahahaha! A curse? Don't you both know that I'm an Army Sword? The daggers all over my body are my weapon!"
The woman laughed before suddenly kicking her leg towards them. A knife unsheathed from her leg and flew towards them.
"Dodge!"
Aleshia shouted.
Of course, Lawrend didn't need her warning. He had already dodged by the time she said it.
"Argh!"
Aleshia cried out in pain. A shallow wound was made as the dagger passed barely over her shoulder.
"Are you okay?"
Lawrend asked her in worry.
"It's just a superficial wound. More importantly, how are we gonna fight against her?"
Aleshia felt despair again. The same powerlessness she felt before. That feeling when you have no power to fight back against the odds against you.
"I can try using my True Mage spell."
Lawrend said to her. It was their only choice as it was their most powerful attack.
"Understood."
Aleshia nodded her head solemnly.
"Master?"
But just as they were about to fight back desperately, Aezel peeked out from outside with her mask on.
"Huh?"
The woman turned around and looked at Aezel in confusion. Aezel was holding Elena's hand while Elena was holding on to Ella's hand.
"Aezel! She's an enemy!"
Lawrend shouted to her.
"Enemy?"
Aezel's eyes sharpened in focus as she looked at the woman in front of her.
"You sure love maids, huh. You even have children working for you."
The woman glanced at Elena and Ella as she said to Lawrend mockingly.
"Fufufu. Did you just mock my master?"
Aezel laughed and asked her in a solemn voice.
"Why? Do you think you five can win against me?"
The woman smirked arrogantly.
"Master, can I kill her?"
Aezel asked as her face started to darken in anger.
"Yes! I don't care what you do. Just kill her!"
Lawrend nodded his head immediately. This woman is dangerous. If he became soft and let her go, it would be the end of him.
"You guys are funn—"
Bzzt
The woman was just mocking them when an arc of red lightning hit her chest area. Without suspense, her heart stopped beating. She clutched at it in pain.
She kneeled on the floor and looked up at Aezel in shock and confusion. She never expected to die so fast and without even the chance to fight back.
"My master is not just my master. He's also the father of my child!"
Aezel looked down at her with scorn as she watched her die helplessly.
