Meanwhile, on the house where Taka is staying and does some cleaning on the house, a small bird came to their window frame. There, the bird is chirping a few times to attract Taka attention to come and take the message the Romania Kingdom officials sent to her via a messenger bird. She takes the small parchment who's tied to the bird leg and proceed to read the latter on a chair made out of wood.

"Dear Team Y (this the team where Judah, Taka and Ulfred are instructed to kidnap Garnet). We are sending you this later in order to inform you that we have found out that the reason why this noble family is carrying that much about Garnet.

The reason it is that she is preserved as being the final child to be used as a sacrifice to summon the powers of Yugara family. And this family it is a Demom-Human family.

Under no circumstance, you should never give the girl to those monsters, and with absolutely no circumstances, you should head back to the Capital. You have to remain there until new orders.

You can use this messenger to send a new parchment paper with your message to your report, or in case someone is attacking you and need help."

And that's the message. Taka was immediately taking a piece of parchment from her room, together with an instrument to write, such as a feather from a goose. While Taka was writing one small message on the parchment, the bird is staying on the window frame, doing the behaviour of any bird. Staying there and looking around.

After a few minutes, Taka finishes writing the message, she puts that message on the bird legs, she tells the bird to go to the Capital City of Romania. The bird is flying away from this building, into the direction it came. now, he will have to transport one letter to the King himself.

Taka wrote into that letter about their missions and how well it goes. But she didn't knew that in a few minutes, everything will be turned out to be a dangerous one than she thought it will be.

After a few minutes, Ulfred and Taka are entering the house, carrying the body of the exhausted body of Judah into their house. Taka was shocked to see this, and she immediately got to Judah body to see if he is alive. Garnet told Taka about the injuries he got from that attack, and she immediately took the body of Judah together with Ulfred. They are putting him on the bed and proceed to attempt curing his wounds by suing health potions and bandages. It would've been much easier if someone from here was an actual wizard who can heal, but Taka who was fighting on a lot of front lines and having some medical knowledge, it is good enough to treat the spikes who are threatening the life of a wizard.

It took a few minutes to do this, but they finished it. Taka bandaged every single injury Judah's got on his body, and took the spikes who were still stabbing him. Taking those was much harder than she thought because these could even cause amputation if they aren't treated carefully or if they are taking out in a high speed.

Taka and Ulfred are leaving Judah and Garnet room as they finished their duty, and let there Garnet to keep a watch on the poor boy who's still sleeping like a baby. Taka told her that she doesn't have to worry about because Judah is still alive, he only demands some rest. And sop she did. Garnet stays on her bed, and watches over Judah, then after a while she gets a chair and stays next to him until she felt uncomfortable, and she goes back to her bed to take a close watch at him.

Meanwhile, on the Kitchen room, Taka is washing her bloody hands from the operation he did to Judah by using a bucket of water they brought to store water who will be used as cleaning faces and hands, even hair in case of Taka or Garnet, because Judah and Ulfred are having short hair to be washed, or barely any in case of Ulfred.

"Do you think he will make it?"

"Of course he will make it." says to Ulfred as soon as she finished her washing. "But who attacked them anyway?"

"Garnet told me there was a bounty hunter who attacked them."

"It is possible since bounty hunters are able to hunt a person after one day from their disappearance, but why was that person even hurting Garnet."

"Garnet is hurt?"

"It was. She told me that Judah was curing her while he was still almost awake in the carriage."

"I see. So he used his battle skill."

"A battle skill?" asks Taka surprised by this discovery. "He has a battle skill?"

"Yes. His battle skill is called Berserk, and it can either make Judah fall into a deep sleep after he is using it, and he is making him feeling useful and useless at the same time in battle."

"So it is a double-edge sword skill. It makes him powerful in a battle, but after a while he faints."

"Yes."

"Who were his parents?"

"Beats me." says Ulfred to Taka. "He is an orphan, but I heard from Fiona who told Judah one day that they were sending their power to him after they were about to die. Apparently, he is having a curse upon him."

"A curse?"

"The curse who makes people die younger. That's what Fiona also told me."

"This boy is having a hard life after all." says Taka going to the table and sitting there. "There has come the messenger bird to alert us about Garnet family secret which we already know about it... and it also told us to not leave this house and area."

"But now... Looks like we have to cross a few orders." says Ulfred looking at the window frame from the back of the garden to be sure no one is there and awaits for Judah to wake up. "And we have to be much more careful around Garnet. She might be a bigger problem than we thought."

Taka only nods in approval.
