I wonder if she remembers me?

“(Hello young lady, remember us? We are here to help.)”

I showed her the medallion from previously just incase.

It looks like she remembers, ah don't speak.

I quickly gestured at her.

“(Don’t worry young lady, I have a plan, just leave everything to us. Simply tell us how to get to the ugly Noble’s room.)”

The girl nods.

“(Once outside this room, go down the corridor to the right, go up the stairway, its a back stairway for us slaves and servants to use, once you exit at the second floor, turn left and walk down the corridor until you reach the big bedroom with double door entrance. He should still be asleep at this hour.)”

“(Thank you, just act normally after this and do your duty, tomorrow everything will be better, you will be saved, I promise.)”

She simply nods again and closed the window behind us after heading back out.

We should get going as well.

She was quite calm even with our masked and cloaked get up, that was lucky.

Making our way quietly into the bedroom of the asshole noble Sir Bellado, the real plan of attack begins.

Due to the ‘Void Paint’ I applied, we are barely making any noise from movement. I signal Daami to take her position as I make my way to the bedside.

Ugh, such an ugly sleeping scene, the fatty man is snoring heavily with his silken pajamas unbuttoned exposing a flabby and hairy chest. This was probably 10x worse then the corpse I met back at the clearing in the forest. I hold back my repulsiveness as I removed my mask and mantle and checked Daami’s preparation.

After removing her mantle and mask, a long black wig is put on. She uses water magic to cover herself head to toes in water so she is drenched and makes her way over to the end of the bed.

I pull out the custom glove with Bladetler Deer’s antler blades stuck on each finger. Wearing the knife glove, I approach the sleeping Bellado and signaled Daami to get ready.

First I quickly slap a sticky tape I made with one side painted with a bit of ‘Void Paint’ on Bellado’s mouth. The tape prevents him from making much noise and even if he screams, it will be muffled. Right after the tape makes contact and sticks, Bellado wakes in surprise. Struggling to understand the situation as I tower over him.

Daami has already pinned down both of his legs and one of his hands with one of her knees and both hands while I pinned the remaining free arm with my own knee as I leant over.

“[Do not make a noise humankind. You don’t want to end up like the previous master of this mansion do ya?]”

I deepen my voice and threaten Bellado with the deer’s heart I pulled out. I lift the heart in front of his face so it is in view and squeezed it so blood would drip down my hand and onto him.

I made sure to add a simple light magic called “Glow” to give a bit of illumination so he can see this in the dark but it was all for naught, the moonlight tonight was perfect as it peeks in the window right as I performed the threatens.

Bellado’s face was visibly terrified, the colour of his face had quickly disappeared and he is shuddering.

“[Allow me to introduce myself, I use to be the slave gardner of this mansion, they forced me to trim the bushes with my bare hands day in and day out, I was abused and tired so after they deemed me to be useless, they just dumped me and burned me to death in the dungeons!]”

I showed my fake burnt face in the moonlight as I spoke,

“[My fellow friend there was a poor slave girl who did the chores and cleaned the mansion, do you want to know how she died?]”

Bellado shakes his head left and right in fear.

“[When she accidently broke a plate when the master bumped into her, the master took out the anger on her, she was beaten and thrown into the well to be drowned!]”

I paused to let the fear sink in a bit more.

“[We took our revenge on the master many years after our deaths, we could never forgive the master who abused us, we haunted his dreams and murdered him, he died in real life the next day. From that point onward we would haunt any master who mistreated us slaves… and from the looks of you…]”

…

“[You’re just like him! We shall take your life as well!]”

Ahh, his shaking even more now, while shaking his head none stop from left and mumbling loudly.

“[Bequiet!]”

I point the blades on my gloves close to his face.

He is frozen in place not daring to move.

“[I will however give you a chance, it is the first time we have woken since a long time…]”

His shaking his head up and down now, almost like his begging for his life.

“[If you release all your slaves and never again collect slaves for the rest of your life! We will spare you your life.]”

More intense nodding followed.

“[But if you do not follow the instructions, we will come back tomorrow and kill you in your sleep!]”

The terrified up and down nodding hasn’t slowed down.

“[If you don’t believe we are real and can haunt and kill you in your dreams, even if this is your dream. Tomorrow you will wake up finding our blood and water all over your bed and bedroom floor. You cannot escape us, you cannot defy us.]”

His stopped nodding now and once again frozen with fear. I smell something gross, I quickly glance over and noticed he had soiled herself completely.

“[I take it as you understand.]”

Stiff up and down nods are seen.

“[However…]”

…

“[I will take one of your eyes as a warning!]”

I quickly swipe over his eyes while scaring him, in my glove hand, I hid a deer’s eyeball within my palm and a bit of blood.

I infused a bit of the ‘Void Paint’ with the blood as I swiped over his eye and rubbed some of the paint over his eye, this prevented him from seeing out of one eye for a brief moment, the magic paint will disappear overtime anyways so he will be able to see again.

Afterwards I dangled the eyeball in front of his remaining eye, the moment he saw the eyeball he fainted.

After making sure his fainted, I picked up the heart and eyeball and put on my mask and mantle. Daami takes off the wet dress and wig and puts them back into the leather rucksack before wearing the mantle and mask again.

We sneak back out of the bedroom and made our way out of the mansion the same way we came in.

As we approached the gate fence, we used the same strategy, Daami released the fake Undead Rabbit at the guards from the other side of the fence, as the guards went chasing for it, she snuck back to the side where we opened the iron fence and we snuck back out. I quickly fixed the fence back to normal with the same method.

Right after I fixed the fence, rain starts pouring along with a thunderstorm.

What a timing, even if we left any tracks on the mansion grounds, this rainstorm will just wash it all away.

As we run back to our Inn under the cover of darkness and the rain I thought to myself.

How lucky.
