Chapter 502 - Volume 3
“I’m sorry sir. I was the one who summoned the Devil…” Brendel looked back to see the origin of the weak and mellow voice to be a handsome lad. He was wearing a silky white sleeping gown, and he was holding onto the black walls. He had a delicate face, black hair the length of her shoulders, and pupils with a hint of purple. He had a pale white complexion, and thin lips the color of roses. He curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, as if questioning the presence of Brendel here.
He reminded Brendel of the Silver Elf Nemenis from the Emerald Forest. Haiz. I do have to admit that there are some people who are more beautiful than Elves in this world. Why can’t I be one of them? Wait… Are those pointy ears?
So he’s a Half-Elf. Phew… At least it didn’t ruin my pride as a self-proclaimed ‘handsome’ human’.
“Count Yanbao, are you fine?” Lonin bowed towards the boy. The boy looked at the captain and nodded, confirming his identity as Count Yanbao.
How can this young kid be a Count? Brendel raised his eyebrows, and stared at the ridiculously delicate face of the boy.
The boy was also assessing Brendel. His eyes shone with curiosity. In this world, most of the illusion spells will be dispelled once the user attacks or use any skill, so in Brendel’s case, his facade was exposed, revealing a man in a long hood and shrouded in black mist that resembled the people from the Evil Cult.
But the Evil Cultists were friends with the Devils, so they would not have cut down the Abyss Lord just now.
…
By the time the knights got into the building, Brendel and his subordinates had already worn their disguise of being Dilferi’s guards. The boy was relieved, and he looked at the corridor to see that the mess was about fully cleared away by Ferlarn. Then he stepped down to meet the other guards.
But Brendel noticed that there were not only Patrol Guards that came. Amongst the people wearing blue, there were some with silver armor and donning a red battle cape. Those people had long swords, and were apparently elite knights.
Eh? Brendel was stunned. That’s the Royal Cavalry… But why would they be here? He realized something and telepathically asked, “Medissa, ask Sue to confirm just how far is Haze Manor from here?
“Count Yanbao, may I know is there anything that happened here that requires our assistance?” this time, a slightly fit female knight stepped out. The tone she used to address Count Yanbao was soft yet composed. It was clear and crisp like a bell. But Brendel could not help but shiver upon hearing the voice.
He looked up and saw a face he could not be more familiar with. [T/N: Of course, it was still less than Romaine.]
Donning the Royal Family crest, and tying her silver hair into a ponytail, she seemed like an innocent young girl. And strapped to her waist were several pairs of swords, which made people misunderstand that she trained in a unique yet weird sword style.
But Freya was definitely a user of the Military Swordsmanship.
