Chapter 771: Goodbye Sands
Chapter 771: Goodbye Sands
I went ahead to tie up the stupid Off-Worlder and had Eins carry him.
Sherry and Melanin were still standing nearby at attention, waiting for my instructions.
"I thought you girls went to get backup?" I asked, remembering those were my instructions when I separated with them earlier.
"We did, Young Mistress," Melanin answered before gesturing towards a specific direction. "There's about fifty of us gathered there. We would have rushed in but we found you sitting here so we thought we would approach to assess the situation first. Do you still need us?"
Woah... If I'm not wrong, they left for barely five minutes and they managed to gather that many people so quickly? Just how many of our maids are around here?
I scratched my cheek, "Well... Umm... Sorry to waste your time then. Since I managed to deal with him already."
"There is no need for apologies, Young Mistress. It is us who should be apologising for taking so long to reach you. We should have been here to help you deal with this piece of trash."
I waved my hand at her, "It's ok, I was the one who insisted on staying in the first place."
Sherry tilted her head slightly, "What will you do now, Young Mistress?"
"Hmm... I'll probably be bringing this person back to the King since Justinia was the one who tasked me to capture these people. But before that, I need to say my farewells to some people inside the town. And... I sort of left my Pack of Folding back at that inn..."
Melanin pulled out something from behind her back and I realised that it was my Pack of Folding.
"We already got that from the inn for you, Young Mistress. We also made sure that the two Mercenaries that were rooming with you were dealt with as well."
I froze, "Wait... Dealt with? You didn't kill them did you?"
"Not at all, Young Mistress. Unless you want us to?"
I shook my head quickly in a panic, "No, no, no! That's definitely not what I want! I'm... Err... Just wondering what you meant by 'dealt with'?"
"We made them forget that you were renting the room with them, Young Mistress."
"Eh? How?"
"By erasing their memories of the past hour, Young Mistress."
... Something tells me I should just stop asking about it and just accept it as it is...
"Ahem... Anyway, I'm going to bid some acquaintances farewell. Could you watch over this guy with Eins over here for a little bit?"
Sherry and Melanin bowed at the same time.
"Of course, Young Mistress. Please leave it to us."
I turned to Eins, "If he does anything like trying to escape or something, beat him up."
My Shadow Guard also bowed her head, "Understood, Master."
Sherry and Melanin were giving Eins odd looks but I didn't really want to explain it so I just flew back towards the town.
I then gave Heather and Meela a nod before opening a portal with [Link Portal] to teleport me up into the air before I started to fly back to where I had left the Off-Worlder.
When I landed, I was a little surprised to see that the idiot had new bruises on his face and I think his right arm and both his legs were broken.
Eins was standing with a foot placed on his stomach while Sherry and Melanin were standing a short distance away from them.
"What happened?"
"He tried to do something, Master," Eins answered as a matter of factly.
I waited to see if she would explain further but she did not say anything else.
Umm... Ok, I'll just leave it at that... Let's just heal him up and then... Ermm... Oh wait... How am I supposed to get back to the King?
I turned to Melanin, "Are you girls able to contact Mary?"
The maid opened her mouth before freezing up, her eyes widening.
It wasn't just her as Sherry's eyes were also slowly getting just as wide as hers.
I was just about to ask what they were doing when a voice came from behind me.
"You were looking for me, Young Mistress?"
I spun around and there she was, our Trasif Head Maid standing just an arm's length away from me like she had been there the entire time.
I pouted at her, "Ok, you can't tell me that you haven't been following me the entire time. Or are you telling me that Mother once again predicted that I would have caught the guy at this exact time and told you to come pick me up?"
Mary smiled at me, "It is a little incorrect, Young Mistress. The Madam had been asking me to check on you at specific intervals. This just happened to be one of those intervals."
Yeah... If that was true, I would be enjoying some sweets right now. Mother definitely got Mary to stalk me the entire time...
"Cookie, Young Mistress?" Mary offered, materialising a cookie out of thin air.
Waaahhh!! Me want!! Om nom nom nom~
Unnghhh! So sweet! So good!! Wait... What was I talking about again?
Oh right, I caught the guy and we're going back to meet Justinia.
Before that...
"Why do they look like that, Mary?" I asked, pointing at Sherry and Melanin who still had looks of surprise on their faces.
"It is their first time meeting me, Young Mistress. Most of our maids and servants do not usually see Sebastian or myself in person."
Oh, so it's like meeting a celebrity for them. Got it.
Anyway, we should go now I guess. I wanna go and reunite with the others too~
