" Dad his heading to the royal capital for the military academy so I will be joining him and his friends" Victoria said with a smile but it didn't last long.
No, you can't follow them, you know nothing about them.
"His name is Laston"
"Laston what?" Kiel responded with a frown.
"He says he can't say" Victoria responded
"I won't let you go with a total stranger!" he shouted, slightly angry at how unreasonable his daughter was being.
Watching from afar were Laston, Razor, and Lynx, I don't think her father would let her travel with us, it would be better if we start moving we have wasted enough time as it is.
"Rowan it's time we left this place," Lynx said
"your wish is my command. Haa he shouted as he flung his whip on the horses.
As Master Kiel saw the carriage leave he became furious. "Halt!!"
seeing this the men wearing matching robes
released their spiritual energy, rowan feeling the tyrannical aura behind him quickly brought the carriage to a halt.
Lynx immediately came out of the carriage followed by Laston and Razor, "what was that for" Lynx asked his gaze directed at Kiel Vonsamonz.
If are not fake, then tell me who you are, I give you five minutes to make your decision, if you're yet to speak up after five minutes, kill them he said as he turned to the men wearing matching robes.
"Kiel Vonsamonz, are you sure you can take the full grunt for killing a direct descendant? my father will annihilate your entire family," Lynx asked looking into his eyes
Kiel was at a loss for words as he knew of all the powerhouses that could utterly destroy him and have made them close allies, in truth there was a possibility that Lynx was right, but his ego and pride could not let him back away from a fight against a child.
Four minutes?! he shouted standing his ground
"Father what are you doing, it was their carriage to begin with, even if they happen not to be nobles we shouldn't stump on them just because we have the power to do so." Victoria said with a worried expression wondering how things escalated this fast.
"Shut up!! if they are not noble, then they are impostors.
"Three minutes"
Razor quickly went behind Laston, terrified of the men who were already radiating with killing intent.
Mean five hundred meters away from their current location was Elder Blitz who seemingly was enjoying the show, "direct descendant ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, now who wouldn't fall for that, these kids might possess balls of steel, he seems calm let's see how he gets out of this.
"Two minutes"
Laston right now was giving Lynx the look of, 'What are you doing' but unfortunately for him, Lynx could not see him as he was behind him.
Having no other choice he immediately pulled out his sword and took a sword stance and began pouring his spiritual energy into it, putting in every ounce he could muster, just with that the sword began radiating with a red miasma which drew the attention of everyone present
That's a sword of consciousness said one of the men in a matching robe, how is he able to use spiritual energy, his core is sealed, what? Only genius's from the royal family is rumored to have such capabilities
hearing all this from his guards, his worst dreams have come to pass, if it happens to be that they weren't bluffing then am done for, If I let them go and he reveals this incidence to his father then am finished he thought inwardly if that's the case I have no choice but to kill them.
With that in mind, he glared at his men, and just like a spontaneous reaction they all flared up with killing intent.
"What is going on here," a middle-aged man in an oni mask who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere said shocking the guards who couldn't detect him until he spoke.
With a flick of his fingers, all the spiritual energy in the vicinity disappeared leaving only the aura exuding from Laston's sword
Turning to Kiel, you are the risk taker, aren't you? "If any harm had come to them trust me your faith would be one worse than death."
"We prefer being anonymous hence why the young master refuses to reveal his identity, I hope you keep this little incidence to yourselves and never talk about it, or else." he released his spiritual energy enough to render them unable to breathe excluding his wife and Victoria.
If you're so eager to protect your daughter, two of your guards can accompany them, turning to the trio he said in a calm voice "Stay safe lads" At that moment he disappeared leaving no traces behind.
"That was fun I don't get to act like an over-bearing protector every day," said Elder Blitz as he took off the oni mask hanging it for sale.
Laston seeing no imminent danger, redrew his sword, but the same cannot be said for the spiritual energy he had already used up taking two steps he staggered but was quickly caught by Razor who was close by.
Seeing Laston's condition Lynx could only glare at Kiel before returning to Laston, "Hey buddy are you alright?"
"Yeah I kinda over exerted myself but am good," Laston said with a cheeky smile
I am really very sorry Victoria said as she approached holding unto his hand she continued, "I didn't know my father would try to attack you, I understand if you don't wish to travel with me anymore"
"it not your fault as it was out of your hands, if you still want to tag along you can," Laston said in a coerced voice as he tried to stand up.
Opening the carriage door they saw Rowan who immediately came out of the carriage, Lynx could only facepalm at his action.
Victoria turned to her mother who was in tears and ran into her embrace, "I will be fine" Turning to her father she sighed with disdain as she proceeded to enter the carriage accompanied by Hendrick one of the guards.
Shortly after that the carriage took off heading for the royal capital.
