We are leaving the house. All three of us, including Garnet who should be terrified but instead, she seems thankful that we have taken her from this noble house. Whatever they are doing there, it is probably messed up, but this is not our mission. We have to hold her as a hostage until the negotiations were made between the Royal family and Yugara family.

I am in the back of those two bounty hunters, Ulfred and Taka. At my back there is also Garnet who's tied at her arms, by me. She didn't hesitate to this, in fact she told me that it is understandable, due to the current situations. I tried to ask her why she is not trying to break it before we were about to leave this building, but this girl didn't tell me the truth, she tells me: "I don't like to be held captive then dying alone.". But before I was about to ask her again "Why?", Taka cut our conversation by telling us that we have to move as fast as we can to the carriages which are at almost 1000 meters from this noble house.

When we leave from the same way we entered the house, a squad of three knights showed in front of us, armed with swords and shields. All three of them yelled: "Charge!". But Taka defeated them easily by making three clones of her, and ordering them to attack the knights. These clones used the same spear as Taka, and they defeated the knights very easily, in fact, they let one alive, only for the original Taka to go at that knight and deliver this message in front of him.

"Next time you jump on our way. Be sure you will be dead forever! Capiche?!"

"Y-Y-Yes!" says the knight, terrified and trying his best to run away from this area, letting only his broken shield in front of us.

Taka turned to us, and she commanded us.

"We have to move on! But be careful! You two! The girl might have some bad intentions!"

"I will be." I say to Taka while I am looking at Garnet, who seems thankful that I am looking at her, and this made me feel a bit... uncomfortable.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

I could sense Ulfred taking a gaze at me and Garnet, and he probably has the same reaction as mine.

We continued to run to the carriages with our hostage. While we were running ahead, we have heard a lot of swords hitting each other and shields getting smashed into walls or in knights. Then, I could see, even on the night, a muscular girl smashing the door of a building with a knight in an armour. She falls on the knight, then, she quickly stabbed his head with a wooden piece from the door they have smashed. She gets up, and sees us.

"We have to move!" says Fiona to us before she retrieved her sword from that building it got the door smashed, and she also came with her help.

Then, all of us continues to run to the carriages, safely. Nobody attacked us on our way to the carriages to our escape, and there were not many peasants on this village, but this is probably because they are afraid of this situation. While we're running ahead, we saw a corpse of a man in the middle of the street, but we ignored him since he got his entire skull broken. My spells wouldn't probably even be close to heal his wounds or regain his life. Even if I have a bigger spell book and a staff at me, I am not able to revive people from the dead. Nobody can do it.

A few moments later, we have arrived to our location where the carriages must be located, but there is some big bad news there. Our carriages are there, but the horses are nowhere to be found. They were most likely stolen by someone, or they found a way to escape from these carriages. But this didn't stop us because Ulfred, being the strongest man of this team, goes to the place where horses should be stayed. I, Garnet and Taka are going to the carriage carried by Ulfred, while Fiona and Eliza are going to take the second carriage. Before we were about to leave, Fiona told us.

"You go to the Bran village. It is at one clock from here. There is a house with a green roof and only a first floor! Easy spotted! That house, it is your hideout until negations were made. And do not dare to leave that house nor tell anyone who you are. All four of you has to create a false identity! Understand?"

"Yes!" we replied to Fiona.

"Alright! I will try to give you some time. Good luck!"

"Same to you!" says Taka to Fiona, which nodded to her.

"Fiona!" I said to her in a loud voice before we were about to leave. "Be careful to not get hurt!"

"I will, Judah! And be good with the hostage and people there!" she says to me like a caring parent.

And we depart on separate ways. Our carriage is heading to the Bran village, while Fiona's carriage it is heading back to the kingdom in order to buy us some time until we will arrive at the house she told us we have to go. I hope it will be easily spotted, as she said earlier.
