Lily Lüdiger could only watch Jared Murphy and Olivier Alway being taken away in silence.

Hostages taken, passive to many. In such a situation, maybe there's only one thing I couldn't do. But Lily couldn't forgive herself.

- What's a secretary? I'm not useless.

Left in the mansion were three, including Lily, Hannellone Alway, Olivier's mother, and Maid Trane Glasler.

Should I say fortunate to be unhappy, Olivier's sister, Emilia Alway, had gone out to her parents' house with Jared's cousin, Yennie Daum, so she didn't get involved.

Almeida, the master of Jared and the greatest force to defend this mansion, is also absent. He said he was in use and he wasn't in the mansion, but if he got that gap, his enemies often monitor the mansion.

Nor is Rosa Roen and Pfile of Vault Toyfel. The fact that the two of them are often not in the mansion during the day originally means that they have nothing but to be gone this time.

I must say that everyone was alarmed.

There were people living in the mansion who could be called the mighty if they let them fight, including Jared, who had become young and became court magicians. As long as one remained, the inhabitants believed and did not suspect that everyone could protect them.

No one even worried because there are still dragon cherry blossoms in the mansion as a child.

But I never dreamed that even the dragon would be deactivated when the mansion became thin.

"Lily Lüdiger, Hannellone Alway, Trane Glasler, everyone is eligible. Let me finish on this occasion."

There is no woman here who laughs distorted in the face naming the daughter of the head of the Royal Sorcery Division, and instead lines up with expression-scarce men. Glimpsed with a raging eye, he said pale as a machine.

I felt Hannellone stretch herself.

We must protect her family, even for Olivier, who has been taken from this occasion. Lily, who thought so, tried to open her mouth without regard for her own danger.

"If you want to do something to these people, kill me first."

But there was a man who spoke first and tried to sacrifice himself. It's Trane.

She turns her eyes straight to the sorcerer without being frightened.

"Come on, Trane."

"No, no, Trane."

"I don't mind. I am a maid. Then I'll take this for the Lord's sake. - No, you don't. I want to protect you, Hannellone, my family."

Always expressionless, she smiled clearly, saying so.

"Then I'll do what I want. When I finish you off, Lily Ludiger is next. I'll send you to the afterlife in turn."

"Hey!

A magician reaches for Trane. Strong enough magic to be clearly felt by Lily, who is not a magician, gathers and becomes a force.

I can't tell what kind of attack it will be, but it's dangerous no matter how much magic Trane can use if he gets it at close range.

- Somebody, help me. Jared!

Lily, who can't do anything, was desperate to ask for help, as she nearly lost her mind.

I had to ask someone to help me, knowing I couldn't possibly.

The moment - the thunderbolt struck.

"Huh?"

Who made that voice?

When the light strikes enough to cover his sight with the roar, the body of the sorcerer, who was about to unleash exactly the magic, clashes against the wall and collapses powerless.

Thunder strikes again, violet electricity rages and goes mad.

Someone ravages the room at an awesome rate.

Without inflicting a scratch on Lily and the others, just one of the sorcerers, one of them and Purple Electric struck down.

As if something had subsided during lightning, there was a blonde young man there.

"Are you..."

To Hannellone, who raised a terrible voice, the young man grinned to reassure him, breaking his knee and drooling his neck.

Both Lily and Trane knew the youth, not just Hannellone.

But unlike the young man I remember, the look on the face of the young man, who should have always smiled, was rude.

"Sorry I'm late"

"No, thank you for coming, Lord Luther Fisher"

Quietly he looks up when Hannellone says thank you on behalf of him.

He was Jared's brother, Luther Fisher, who saved the three of us from our predicament.
