Chapter 66 Cantrell Family III
Sariya POV
We were hiding in a luxury-looking building which belonged to the Keller firm. There were few guards to protect us and all of them were females for some reason. Elda was happy to leave that prison but I had my own doubts about my own decision.
"What is he doing? Hiding us and taking Mel somewhere," I thought about the handsome young man who helped me when I was in my worst condition. My health and mind both became clear after his help.
I could have fully believed him if I knew what his goal and request were but unfortunately, I didn't.
"Darling, are you okay? Do you need anything?" I was a little worried about Elda.
"I'm okay mom, where's Naomi and Mel? I haven't seen them in a while,"
Even I didn't know what they were doing since they didn't want to tell me.
I decided to talk with all the female guards to get some more information about this place and what was happening outside but I was really amazed by the information I got.
"Ohh~ you're talking about young master, let me join," Another guard joined our conversation. My attempt to find some information turned into a group chat of some fan girls.
According to them, all of them were former slaves who were rescued by Davin and with the help of Naomi, he trained those who are suited for combat and administration works. These girls had to go through many things because of a viscount but now they are happy more than ever.
"I think young master is from a neighbouring kingdom, he is so handsome so it makes sense if he's a prince," Their conversation brought some doubts to my mind.
"Do you think young master has a girlfriend?"
"I don't know, I think Sister Naomi has some kind of relationship with the master, I heard she was the first slave master rescued from the slave traders," I was listening to all the girl talks about them carefully trying to extract useful information.
"Was he really a prince? I agree with the part about that boy being handsome but if he's a royal then what's he doing in a viscounty?" It was a never-ending circle so I decided to stop overthinking things.
Elda also became friends with the guard girls quickly which made me happy to see her making friends.
"Boy, I don't know who you're or what's your purpose but as long as you protect my daughter, I will support you," I thought while going back to my room with Elda.
Davin POV
I looked at Naomi who was busy giving orders to her group which entered the room.
"Where's Mel?" I couldn't finish my sentence becuase one of them removed her mask and showed me her face. She was home other than Mel who was the bodyguard and protector of Elda and Sariya.
"Mel, We will begin our operation now, since viscount is under our control now, we will take control of this territory there is an army waiting outside if something went wrong don't worry," She was confused about how I got an army in such a small amount of time.
"Don't kill anyone if it isn't necessary, the humans in this territory are more important than anything,"
"What are you going to do to the viscount and his family?" She wasn't feeling anything for them but still, they were important enough for the kingdom.
"You will understand Mel, we don't need their support, Just kill them in the public, it will be better if you give citizens the chance of killing them, They must be furious with the viscount," I suggested to her which she agreed without asking any questions.
"I guess I'll go and meet my real body first and I will have to give orders to Sariya, then only the real challenge begins," I quickly gave my sword to Naomi and left the luxury mansion of the viscount.
First, I went to meet Sariya who was early waiting for me to return to ask about what happened outside. I entered the building which was protected by my guards.
Sariya and Elda instantly got up from their seats and came to question me about Mel and what happened outside. I explained to them everything which caused them to open their eyes with shock.
"So he no longer has power in this territory?" Sariya didn't feel anything since she considered the viscount and his concubine as strangers.
"Yes and now I need your help, I want you to act as our intermediate party between people and us,"
"What do you mean by us?" She was a little confused.
"You will see now come with me, don't worry I will protect you, Elda you stay here with these girls, don't leave this building," I took Sariya's hand and left the building.
She became more and more interested in Davin because she had no idea what was going to happen.
Suddenly, we heard a sound of a bell which indicates some attack or emergency. I knew what it was because my main body was near the gate.
Even though Sariya was healthy right now, she couldn't catch up to the speed of the A-ranked Davin. I didn't want to slow down so I took Sariya into a princess-style hug.
"Hold on tight Sariya, We are going to speed up,"
I didn't notice at that time that her face was pure red because of the rush. Sariya was embarrassed by this whole situation. Her normal motherly-looking side was nowhere to be seen.
She never got to experience romantic things like this in her whole life but now she is being a princess carried by a boy who's younger than her own daughter.
I saw a lot of guards gathering near the gate to deal with those outsiders. If I wanted I could break the whole gate with a single spell but I didn't want to cause any unwanted losses becuase this territory will be mine in the future.
"Sariya, Let's go and meet the head in charge here and ask him to open the gate, if he refuses I will break the gate even if I have to take some losses," I asked her to cooperate but she was somewhat absent mindlessly looking at me.
"Hello~ Why are you dozing off? Did you hear what I said just now?"
"Ah! Yes~ Yes," She quickly ran to the small chamber which was the office of the head in charge. I followed her becuase I promised to protect her if something happens to her.
We entered the room where the chief guard was sitting ordering some soldiers. They were in a panic becuase of our army outside the city wall.
Even though Sariya was isolated by viscount, she was somewhat popular among the town folks. The chief guard saw her and quickly gave her a chair to sit on.
"My lady, why are you here? You should go back to the mansion, we have kind of a situation here, we sent a message to the discount about the situation but we still didn't get any answer," He didn't identify me becuase I never really showed my face in the city and all the transactions were done by Naomi or someone else in the firm.
"Harold, Open the gate, let them enter the city," She didn't know how to order him to do something like that so she decided to tell the truth.
"Wha-what? But they have more than 500, if they attack us it will be a disaster and who are they? I never heard from the viscount ordering me to shelter such a big group," He was refusing to open the gate.
I quickly took Sariya's hand and ran outside. She was confused at first but she knew what I was going to do.
"It looks like a lot of things need to be done,"
