Teleport
Just as Yuki had previously said, Teleport was truly instantaneous before Arthur could open his eyes to understand if he had failed or succeeded, he could feel the wind against his face and the shouting of his companions.
The triplets and Leo: "Young miss, thank god you are safe!"
"It seems that the young miss did not have to use your spatial artifact. Young man, you have our thanks for rescuing our young miss." The old butler said before bowing at a ninety degree angle.
Although not understanding, the triplets and Leo also bowed similarly to the old butler.
Being bowed to, Arthur became flustered as he waved his hands with a blush, "I-Its okay, you don't have to bow your head. Please get up! I only did what I felt was right."
"But-"
"I'm sure if you were as close to the carriage as me, you would have done the same."
Hmm..? Feeling his shirt sleeve being tugged at, Arthur looked towards the source and saw Scarlet as he tilted his head in confusion at her weird behavior.
"Th-thank you for saving me!"
"It is not worth mentioning, like I said to umm-"
"My name is Albert, Albert Estwen Heartfilia at your service. Young man, you can just call me Albert if you so desire." Albert said with head deeply bowed.
Leo: "Though we previously met, I am Leonard Albert Heartfilia. It's nice to make your acquaintance."
Guard 1: "Quan"
Guard 2: "Ren. Your support spells were truly phenomenal!"
Guard 3: "Big brother, can I call you that? Oh, oh by the way you can call me little Jiang."
"Emm ehh, although it's a bit late, my name is Arthur, Arthur Pendragon." Arthur said with an awkward smile, not knowing what to say to the enthusiastic youngest triplet.
"Young Arthur, I than-"
"Like I said, let's not worry about such formalities. I only did what I thought was right. We should focus on why we were attacked." Arthur said although he wasn't their target he still feels part of this group now.
Hearing that everyone's faces darkened in displeasure.
"Our priority is the young miss's safety"
"I agree with Uncle Albert, it would be for the best if we bring our young miss back to the capital and have the Grand Duke and His Majesty decide on what to do about such an obvious offense." Ren said with a frustrated expression.
"Ren is right, it would be best to let Father and Uncle Edward decide. Yu'er and her family would never want to harm me."
"I agree with the young miss, this must be some kind of evil scheme against the royal families of both the Vampire Kingdom and the Dragon Empire." Quan said with a determined expression as if he too found the curse and assassination suspicious.
"Elder brother, isn't it obvious? It's probably some status hungry noble who wants to fish in troubled waters by using our Kingdom against the Dragon Empire." Jiang quipped as if he knew exactly why his young miss was cursed and almost assassinated by Dragon Empire armor wearing gangsters.
"Jiang, it's best if we don't jump to conclusions or else we might accidentally fall into the enemy's trap. This is why your two elder brothers want to inform the Grand Duke and His Majesty."
"Leo is correct, though I'm not aware of what's going on. I believe we should let the authorities handle it, lest we cause a war between two nations. Especially if the Vampire Kingdom and the Dragon Empire have a good relationship." Arthur said after realizing that maybe Scarlet has an acquaintance among the royal family of the supposed Dragon Empire.
And apparently, she has quite a high status… being the daughter of a Grand Duke and all…
