Some good two hours later Vivia woke up.
"Weren't you going to take me back?" She yawned. Still utterly sleepy. Just how hard had she been working lately?
"I was but then we had some company and spent some time talking to them. Now I'm reflecting."
"You? Reflecting?"
"I can't?"
"Hmm… well, who were they?"
"Knights."
While I liked the holy knight, I don't think she liked me. She was cautious the whole time and although she spoke politely, she clearly hated my guts. I suppose I deserved that for killing her student and turning him into a Dullahan.
She gulped. "Did you kill them?"
"No, they were here as messengers. I spoke to the holy knight and she told me she didn't want to fight for no reason. She did warn me before leaving."
"OF what?"
"Paladin."
Vivia groaned. "I heard they are exceptionally strong and even S rank adventurers don't stand a change. So…"
"So?"
