CHAPTER 4
Viviana and Raymond watched as the buildings that were all still abandoned ruins had now turned completely to ashes.
There is nothing left. There was only the dense aura of demonic-power. Because the barrier covering the building was using demonic magic. The dense aura became a little different and it felt like it was starting to get colder.
It was Raymond who stepped forward and crouched down. Staring at this thick, sand-like dust on the ground couldn't show any evidence at all. There is nothing left to be further investigated.
Haa...
He took a deep breath and paused for a moment. Even though he didn't find any other evidence, at least he had killed the devil's follower and saved the woman he was about to sacrifice.
Viviana heard the man who saved her take a deep breath. So make him dare to come closer.
Raymond who heard the footsteps of the woman behind approaching him slightly glanced back.
He immediately got up and stood up. Still turned his back on Viviana who didn't say anything to him.
"Demon followers and this place are filled with a strong demonic aura. Maybe their Demon Lord is controlling them from a distance. So if they are caught, they will be immediately destroyed so they can't find any evidence," said Viviana.
"It seems so. Their Demon Lord must be very strong to be able to control them from this distance," continued Raymond.
When Raymond turned around, his eyes met Viviana's. The two stared at each other for a long time.
Viviana who woke up then smiled. The woman bowed respectfully as she lifted her dress skirt.
"Thank you for saving me, lord knight," he said sincerely.
"No. You are the one who made the trail with the silver hair that you accidentally dropped. That way, I can only find you and complete my task of exterminating the devil followers," Raymond said while giving a respectful dive as well.
"Task?" Viviana tilted her head slightly, "Are you from the magic tower?"
'He is very sensitive.'
"Right," Raymond replied.
"Some time ago there was a report about the kidnapping of a woman with silver hair. The witches from the magic tower were asked to immediately arrest the kidnapper because it is disturbing people," he continued explaining.
“Is that so…” Viviana nodded in understanding.
Actually, she already knew, but Viviana pretended like someone who had just found out why she was a kidnap victim and was going to be used as a sacrifice for the followers of Satan.
"But, Miss, can you explain why you can tell that devil follower has a heart on the right?"
The question made Viviana flinch. Her lips were tightly pressed together to show her nervous expression.
“That… The two men who kidnapped me were telling me on the street about the devil follower being their leader. They also talked about the strengths and weaknesses of their leader who is a devil follower. Only then did I find out that the follower of devils has a heart on the right side and not on the left of his chest," Viviana explained.
Even though she was nervous at first, Viviana explained it calmly. Slightly nonsensical excuses but make great essays if you say them without being nervous.
"Is that true ...?"
Asking again not sure. Viviana, who was actually nervous, kept trying to stay calm so that she would not be further suspected.
Aauuuu....
Wolves howl at night. Raymond, who was glaring at Viviana because he wasn't sure, came to his senses.
"The two of us should hurry down and leave this hill forest," Raymond suggested as he took Viviana along.
"Okay."
Of course Viviana immediately complied. He felt relieved because he was no longer asked the problem of how to know how to kill the devil followers earlier.
To get down from these hills more quickly, again use the same method as before getting out of the building that was about to collapse.
"Miss, please hold on tight."
So polite even though quite presumptuous. Viviana didn't mind it. He allowed his rescue man to carry him back to get him down the hill faster.
During the flight in the sky, even though the time was short Viviana did not dare to look into the eyes of Raymond who was the one who saved her. Actually Viviana didn't even know her name and didn't introduce herself either.
***
"Thanks for the help again, Mister knight."
Viviana bowed back and smiled respectfully. Noble etiquette that was very attached to him. Can't hide.
"I will accompany you. May I know which noble family you come from, Miss?" he asked.
Viviana unhesitatingly replied, "then introduce, I am Viviana Eustacio of the Marquess Eustacio's residence."
Raymond was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the woman he saved was the Lady of the famous Marquess Eustacio family in Elston.
A noble family famous for its great service in protecting the border region of Elston. Eustacio, the noble who became the symbol of the Elston region.
"All right. I'll take you all the way to the Eustacio Mansion," Raymond said.
Vivian nodded. Walks in front side by side with her savior man. Not only a rescuer but also willing to drive him home safely. Viviana was in no mood to refuse.
Besides, Viviana still needs someone to guard her. Maybe there are still followers of Satan left and still aiming for their lives as sacrifices.
By returning with her rescue man, Viviana felt a little relieved because at least she could return to the Mansion safely.
***
"Miss!"
"Miss is back!"
Just entered the Mansion, two girls dressed in black and white maid uniforms greeted him with cries of emotion.
Immediately approached Viviana who already looked messy. Full of dust and very dirty clothes. Her hair was no longer looking neat. Making the two maids even more worried.
"Miss, you are finally home. We are very concerned about your safety."
"Yes. You said you'd be back before dusk but it still wasn't back by midnight. We were so worried we felt like we were going to die."
The two of them took out their grievances at the Miss. Viviana just smiled broadly and apologized for making her two maids worry about her.
'Thank goodness Miss returned safely.'
'Thank you, Goddess. I feel relieved that Miss is back.'
'You childish girls,' thought Viviana.
"Okay. I'm very tired. Please prepare warm water. I want to take a shower and clean myself first," Viviana asked.
"Yes, Miss." Jane went ahead to prepare warm water according to her Miss' request.
"Miss, I will prepare dinner for you. Miss must be hungry, right?" the remaining female maid Jina suggested.
"Yes." Viviana smiled and nodded in agreement.
The two maids had gone to do their respective errands. Viviana was relieved to have returned to her Mansion safely and in good physical condition.
"Where have you been all day?!"
The voice of the person asking. Sounds intimidating. Loud and heavy, Viviana didn't flinch at hearing it because it wasn't a stranger's voice.
"Didn't I tell you not to go out carelessly before your coming of age ceremony?! Do you dare go against my words?!"Download Novelah App
