The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 275 - Quiet Anger ③ -
Once again, Aquino ran on his feet.
"Yes, sir, we haven't heard back from the decree yet, sir."
"I'm not, Aquino. I wonder if any other servants are here today?
"I was there, but I sent it out in a decree. It's just me and your husband now."
"And Karinka, the gardener?
"Yes, it was a rush."
"You're lying. Karinka's not here today. My mother's condition got worse, so I was offered a few days ago to spare her time. You don't have to know, but you're out, Aquino."
"I can't believe it's lame, you know... I am"
Aquino gave a bewildered look, but it was also a moment. Aquino threw two daggers at the same time that he had hidden on his sleeve, but Liliam pulled it out without bitterness and played it. When Aquino took the knife out of his nostrils, he jumped wildly at Liliam with his odd voice.
"Kay!"
It was Aquino, who flew to crush Liliam with every tablecloth, but Liliam's appearance was not there, and vice versa, a series of tremendous velocities were unleashed by Liliam, who danced into the universe. Not surprisingly, Aquino was hit with a knife in his hand, turning his back and trying to escape.
For that ankle, Liliam throws Aquino's dagger. The brilliant hitting dagger disfigured Aquino, who rolled over and hit him hard in the head with a stair railing as he opened the door.
"Ugh."
Liliam rushed over at the moment of the moment, slashing the tendon on his limbs in an instant and rendering him incapacitated. If you can't step on Aquino's chest and move, you stick a sword in its throat and question him.
"It may be futile, but I'll ask you once. Who's to blame?
"Do you think I'll say, my husband"
"Yeah, too bad."
Liliam poked without hesitation at Aquino's right eye with a thin grin. Screams echo in the mansion.
"Oh, my God."
"I've seen a lot of torture at a young age, and I've been made to do it myself. I know quite a bit how to blame them for where they are and how they can hurt without dying. The tip of this sword allows for fine movement. It's not as special as a piece of equipment, but it's quite painful.
I'll let you die as soon as I talk to you over the years, okay?
"By being nice"
But Aquino chewed his tongue off lightly. It was too late for Lilliam to notice the move. Apparently he was more of a genius (pro) than I ever imagined. It may be natural to say that it is close enough to infiltrate and gain credibility in the mansion over the most years.
But did you intend to do it from the beginning? Liliam has chosen all the servants of the private residence himself. Who are you serving? They're letting you keep it a secret using a sorcery contract, and even if you try to release a secret, you can't talk about it by sorcery. We have carefully selected the number of people and have not fired anyone since we hired them in again. The reward is adequate, and there should be no element of betrayal. In the first place Aquino was from an orphanage in Tarham, among whom he worked in a noble villa on the grounds that he was pleasant. The nobleman died because of his old age, so he let go of the villa in connection with the disposition of his property, and narrowed down his position from a few candidates. I'm not in a situation where I can send in an assassin, and I can't possibly have enough background for Aquino to be trained as an assassin in the first place.
There were things I didn't know, but Liliam snapped Aquino's neck unanswered. Some bites off their tongues don't die so easily, and the assassins' kind are often after consultation. It is safest to keep it around your neck because you may be practicing strange sorcery.
"I don't feel good at all... do I?
Liliam felt really sick at that moment. This vomiting is not just tired. Speaking of which, I didn't check for an earlier meal, because I ate in a hurry, but no way.
"Poison?
"Exactly."
Liliam, with the stairs behind her because she looked back at the room, felt a hot pain in her back and jumped. Fortunately, it's not a big pain, but the paralysis spreads to the wound. This is also poisoned, possibly paralyzing system poison.
Liliam made sure she looked like the person coming up the stairs desperately while she was dizzy. It was Skinny who should have died earlier that appeared in that somewhat blurry vision.
"Skinny? He must have died earlier."
"Forget my main business? I'm a magician. Arranging for blood bags and swords to pull in is a treat."
"I checked your pulse."
"There are ways to stop the pulse. Pretending to be a corpse is a common modus operandi for assassins as well as odd magicians. Didn't you know?
"Yeah, I learned. So, you hit the Aquino?
"I mean, don't you notice when you look at us?
Liliam had a good comparison of Aquino and Skinnis. The outfit was similar, and the face - very similar. Skinny did not pursue him because his age is unknown, but depending on the way he sees it, he doesn't even look middle-aged.
