Shiek informed the butler about Lady Evelyn's delay and suggested to let the Duke knows. In that sense, if the Duke has a conscience then he will order some knights to go look for his daughter.
Then Shiek searched the whole Shield Forest while fighting monsters along the way.
Traces of clash can be seen all in one place and it goes deeper in the Forest.
Shiek was worried as the Trevor Forest was the borderline of the Bahalkii Kingdom and the Levingstone Kingdom. Trevor Forest was also near the Shield Forest.
Shiek stumbles near a tree where he sees traces of liquid and the dark parts of the forest that melted after the liquid touched it.
He got an idea of what the monster can do this as a large trail was seen on the floor.
Worried about his prediction, he pushed down the thought that his student was in graved danger but nonetheless he followed the tracks of the monster.
Shiek found two lying children in the middle of the forest.
Not far from the two was a dead giant black snake known as Krokta. A venomous snake that can grow to 10 feet, and spits saliva that can melt anything, and the blood that can kill within second, if it was touch or consumed.
He hurriedly takes the two to the mansion.
A Sage Healer was needed as he doesn't know what happened to the youngest of the Emsworth Family.
***
Evelyn grumbles in her sleep. After a while, Evelyn opens her heavy sunset eyes.
What she saw was the familiar room that she got accustomed to for two months.
She tried to sit up and her brows crunched at the sudden pain that tingles her each time she moves.
She felt that her whole body that has a little fat was beaten up into a pulp, she winched and tried to grab the glass that is filled with water placed beside her bed.
"ugh…"
She moved for a little bit, but her small frame was stiff and full of fatigue. Her body was sore with all the falling and fighting with the giant snake and spliks.
She remembered that she got a few broken bones, and she moves her hands and feet, Evelyn also touched her abdomen and put a small force to see if there were any broken ribs but contrary to her expectation, it all felt fine. She smiled and thank the gods that she wasn't abandoned as she thought.
She wonders how long she was asleep for the broken bones to be healed.
She looked at her window and saw that it was near dawn. Evelyn tried to recall what happened after she plopped down in the ground.
'After I fought the giant snake, a big wolf came with its red fluffy fur and help me defeat the snake… and after some time the wolf changes into…'
*Gasp
"Gab…!"
"What happened to Gab? He didn't die… right?"
I remembered that the red-hair boy that I encounter in the forest was wounded and he's dirty clothes and bruises all over her body were the evidence that he was a runaway.
Recalling what happened, I stood up and made my way to the wooden doors of my room. I tried to open the door, but it was locked.
"What the… Why the hell is this lock?" I knocked at the door a few times…
*bang... *bang... *bang...
My body heats up and my face crumpled like a piece of paper. I was angry.
"So… you want to imprison me here! Over my dead body!" Hatred glistened in my sunset eyes and I gather my magic and cast the spell.
"Wind Boost!"
The door swung open then and face the full brunt of my pure power. I know that something changed in my body after collapsing in the Shield Forest, but I'll think about that some other time.
The knights that were stationed outside the room was flustered. Their Lady was exerting a murderous aura and her mana was leaking out making the knights feel alarmed.
Evelyn's eyes were full of hatred and the knights tried to talk to their Lady.
"Lady, please calm down." Said the knight in the right.
"You've only woken up Lady Evelyn, don't use your mana!" the other chimed in.
"I don't care...! Who has the nerve to lock me up?" Blood was rising in my face and everyone can see that I was serious and really pissed off.
The two knights only stare at each other, convincing each other to tell the Lady who ordered them to lock her up.
"You're not going to tell me…?" After my near-death experience since I become aware that I become Evelyn from the crappy novel book that I read. This is the first time that I want to kick some balls.
"Then what's the use of your tongue? I should give it and feed it to the dogs!" I smirk and the cold wind came rushing from all the gaps of the mansion.
I never felt this much power, but I don't care!
"I've had enough of this place…!" When I chanted my spell, a voice full of authority spoke along the corridors.
"Evelyn!"
The indifferent tone ring in my ears and followed the voice where it came from. I looked at my left and saw the father and son pair standing oblivious.
"What do you think you doing?" said Evelyn's Father, Duke Keene.
I started to speak in a cheerful voice.
"Oh my! The Duke is here in the desolate place of my abode." I said sarcastically, as only two knights were seen in the farthest room of the mansion where I situated.
"It's my house, I can go wherever I want." Duke Keene answered with his crunched face and knitted brows.
Allan was only looking at me perplexed by my sudden change of tone.
"That is true… but I don't give a fuck!" I smiled innocently.
The Father and son duo flinched when they hear me cursing.
"What did you say, Evelyn Callie von Emsworth?"
'There it is… the legendary cold stone face of the Duke that the novel always emphasizes.' I thought to myself.
He was looking at me with his knitted brows, eyes as cold as ice and I bet he was thinking "What's this useless thing saying" I can see him say that.
'But I don't give a damn anymore. This shitty place and this so-called family should just go down the shithole.'
"I said I don't give a fuck!"
When words left my mouth, I saw the hands of the Duke twitching. And his strong aura was leaking.
"Language, Evelyn!"
'I bet he's mad that her daughter bluntly says curse words. He's angry. So what?!'
"Why would I care about what you say? You don't even give a damn about me. So why should I?" I said mockingly.
Everyone who witnessed the scene was just silently staring at the two who were exchanging words.
And seeing murderous aura from the only Lady of the Emsworth mansion exude strongly since the Duke and the Young Master came was evident.
The knights were shivering with the strong auras exuding from the Duke and Lady Evelyn. They knew that their lady was practicing her magic but emitting a murderous aura was something unprecedented.
Allan was also shocked by her sister's change and think that the girl went crazy.
