Nurveus, having returned from her walk around the city, saw that the front glass of the shop was shattered. She stepped inside, and Yuira, seeing her, immediately turned around. "Ah, Nurveus... I wanted to tell you that tonight we are going to Archduke Lawstone's Mansion," he said with a sigh.
Nurveus asked, "Why do you wish to go there?"
"Well~. It's because my brother killed the Monster that was threatening the city, and Archduke Lawstone wants to hold a banquet, and my family is required to attend the party," Yuira answered while scratching his head.
In the evening, Lloyd, wearing white Baroque-style clothing, stood in front of the gate of Archduke Lawstone's mansion. From a distance, he saw Yuira, who was also wearing white Baroque-style clothing, and beside him was his maid.
When Yuira reached him, Lloyd asked in a cold tone, "Is she your personal maid?"
Yuira glanced at Nurveus and answered, "You're right, she is my personal maid, Nurveus." Lloyd glanced at Nurveus's eyes, which were like dragon eyes, then he closed his eyes.
Yuira produced a bottle containing Terqio Poison, and he saw a white carriage. "Ah, it seems that's them," Yuira said.
Inside the carriage were Evan, Taria, Yuna, and one young man. The young man had white hair with purple irises and wore square glasses. That young man was Hazel Frontsen, the second child of Evan and Taria.
"Ah~, why do I have to attend this party?" Hazel asked in a lazy tone. "Be quiet; besides, our entire family was invited. Like it or not, you must come," Evan said with slight irritation.
Their carriage stopped, and then Taria, Yuna, and Evan began to disembark. Just as Yuira was about to drink the poison, Hazel stepped down and said in a lazy tone, "Honestly, your addiction to consuming poison hasn't gone away." Yuira, hearing that, only smiled and drank the poison.
Taria saw Nurveus and asked Yuira, "Yuira! Is she your personal maid?"
"Correct, she is my personal maid, her name is Nurveus; she started working a few days ago."
Yuna, seeing Nurveus with a look of admiration and excitement, grabbed both of Nurveus's hands and asked enthusiastically, "May I call you Nurveus?" Nurveus answered in a calm tone, "You may call me whatever you like."
On the Mansion balcony, there stood a woman with maroon hair in a ponytail and maroon irises as well; she wore a Baroque-style gown the same color as her irises and hair, leaning over the balcony railing. She was Envy Malvelle, the eldest child of the Malvelle family.
Envy saw the Frontsen family, who had just arrived. Envy stared at Lloyd, who happened to be walking beside Yuira. Nurveus, seeing this, thought that Envy was staring at Yuira, and so Nurveus began to glare sharply at Envy.
Envy, realizing this and seeing Nurveus's eyes, which were dragon eyes, smiled. I don't know who you are, but bring it on.
Inside the Mansion, on the second floor, the nobles gathered and conversed. Then Fenedy took a flute glass containing white wine. He said, "The Giant Horned Wolf was the Monster that constantly threatened our city... However, that Monster is now dead... Lloyd Frontsen is the one who killed that Monster." The nobles began to turn and look at Lloyd.
"Therefore, let us toast to the safety of our city," Fenedy continued while raising his glass and saying, "Cheers." The nobles raised their glasses and said, "Cheers."
A few minutes later, Taria and Evan were talking with several other nobles, while Yuna was surrounded by several men from other noble families.
One of the men near Yuna introduced himself, "My name is Vetrum Archigel, nice to meet you, Miss."
"H-Hello," Yuna answered, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
From a distance, Lloyd, Hazel, and Yuira were drinking glasses of white wine simultaneously while staring sharply at the men surrounding Yuna.
"For some reason, I feel irritated seeing them near her," Hazel said while drinking his wine. Lloyd drank his wine and said, "We have experienced this situation many times." "Ah~, I feel nauseous," Yuira said while walking towards the balcony.
On the balcony, Envy was standing there, then Yuira walked near her and leaned on the balcony railing. Envy, seeing this, smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel nauseous?"
"Yes, it seems it's from eating too much over there," Yuira answered. Envy, hearing that, let out a small laugh.
Nurveus, who was behind the two of them, stared at Envy sharply. Envy, realizing this, patted Yuira's shoulder. Yuira turned around, and then Envy pointed toward Nurveus behind them.
Yuira, knowing what was happening, walked toward Nurveus, making her turn around. Yuira pushed Nurveus forward toward Yuna and took a glass of white wine. "You should try this," Yuira said while giving it to Nurveus.
Nurveus took the glass, and then they were near Yuna. Nurveus began to drink it; all the men near Yuna watched her. Unconsciously, Nurveus glared at them all sharply, which made everyone afraid. Yuna felt relieved. "Thank you, Nurveus." Nurveus, confused, only tilted her head slightly.
As Yuira walked toward Lloyd and Hazel, Lloyd began to walk and took a glass of white wine, then he walked toward Envy. Lloyd stood beside Envy, then he offered his glass to her. "Ah~, thank you," Envy said while taking the glass.
Yuira, who was near Hazel, said, "How unusual of him to give a glass to someone else."
"Maybe because he likes her," Hazel said.
"What?" Yuira asked, then Hazel answered, "You know? When they were still at the Academy, Envy kept asking Lloyd to spar... and I also heard they are engaged."
Yuira asked, "Really? Since when?" Then Hazel answered, "I don't know, I don't care."
From a distance, there was a man wearing a black cloak with purple hair. That person was Ben. "Damn it! Velt Malvelle isn't there," Ben said with irritation, but he began to smile when he saw Envy and said, "It doesn't matter; as long as she has the Malvelle surname, I will still kill her!" Ben began to manifest dozens of Magic Circles around him, and dog-shaped Beasts began to emerge from the Magic Circles.
A few minutes later, on the balcony, Envy finished her glass, then said, "You know? Even though your family and I are here, there is still an intruder here," while breaking her glass on the balcony railing and turning the glass into a small knife. "You're right," Lloyd answered.
Shortly after, two Beasts appeared beside the two of them. Envy quickly slashed one Beast beside her with the broken glass, her face splattered with the beast's blood, while the Beast beside Lloyd immediately caught fire and turned to ash instantly. Lloyd, seeing the blood splatters on Envy's face, took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Envy's face.
Envy held Lloyd's forearm and asked, "Hey, shouldn't you be helping them?" Then Lloyd answered in a cold tone, "I know." A Chain Magic Circle appeared; white chains emerged from the Magic Circle and bound the Beasts attacking the nobles. Lloyd began to walk inside, then the chains began to burn, causing the bound Beasts to catch fire and instantly turn to ash.
On the other side, Taria and Evan remained calm as several Beasts ran toward them. Evan simply took off his glasses and cleaned them; as the Beasts leaped toward them, Evan's shadow seemed to sprout large thorns that impaled all those Beasts, then Evan put his glasses back on.
Yuira approached Nurveus and said, "Nurveus, just freeze them; I don't want this place catching fire." Nurveus nodded, then she manifested a wall of water; as the Beasts approached and passed through the water wall, their bodies froze instantly.
Envy, seeing all of this, walked inside. Several Beasts approached her, but Envy easily killed them all with the broken glass. Ah, boring, they are all just mid-level Beasts. Envy sat down on a chair.
A black Magic Circle appeared, and then Ben emerged from it. Ben ran toward Envy and shouted, "I will kill you!" Lloyd happened to be in front of him, then Ben swung his axe and shouted, "Get out of the way!" Ben swung his axe, but Lloyd uttered, "Phoenix Wall." A wall of fire, orange with a hint of blue, appeared in front of Lloyd.
When Ben swung his axe at the wall, his axe instantly turned to ash, and the melted parts hit Lloyd's face.
Lloyd, who felt no heat, simply wiped his face, and a Chain Magic Circle appeared beside Ben and bound him.
The Fire Wall began to disappear, and then Lloyd saw Ben kneeling and bound by the Chain Magic. Lloyd asked in a cold tone, "Tell me, which faction are you from?" Ben, terrified, said, "I-I won't answer... If I answer, I will die."
Envy, hearing that, threw the broken glass she was holding, and it hit Ben's eye, making him scream in pain. "Just tell us if you don't want to die right now." Ben remained silent. Lloyd began to summon his sword from his Inventory.
A few minutes later, the Nobles were terrified when they saw that both of his legs and one of his arms had been severed. Ben just kept screaming in pain, and Yuira, seeing that, approached him. Yuira knelt in front of Ben. "Calm down, I will treat you."
Yuira removed the glass from Ben's eye, then he produced a bottle of blue Potion and opened the cap. Ben, seeing this, opened his mouth and drank the Potion. "This Potion will work in 3 minutes," Yuira said. When the bottle was empty, Yuira asked, "Tell me, which faction are you from?"
Ben, hearing that, swallowed his saliva and answered, "I-I am from the Doom Bringer Cult."
"Doom Bringer?" Yuira asked.
"Yes, Doom Bringer, it is a cult that worships the three Fallen Archangels and makes the world their offering to the Fallen Archangels."
Yuira produced a bottle of white Potion with a hint of rainbow and said, "Ah, I should have given you this Potion." Ben, hearing that, was shocked and stared at Yuira. "In that case... what did I just drink?" Ben asked frantically. Yuira smiled and answered, "Poison from a Terqio Monster that I heated for 3 hours and mixed with Red King Snake venom." Ben, hearing that, felt panic; his vision began to fade, he began to vomit blood, and then his body fell to the ground.
"Ah, he's dead," Yuira said while touching Ben's body with his Magic Wand. Yuira uttered, "Burn."
Ben's body caught fire from the Orange fire with a hint of blue and instantly turned to ash. The Nobles who saw the event were silent in terror and at the same time in awe of Yuira's power. Slowly, the Nobles began to applaud.
Outside the Mansion, Ben opened his eyes, sweat pouring down his body. Damn it, I was tricked by his kindness... Even though I only used a Shadow Clone, it felt very real, and I unconsciously leaked it. Ben quickly ran out of the Mansion. Hazel, who saw Ben running from a distance, knew that Ben was the culprit who caused this.
Hazel manifested his white Magic Staff and pointed it at Ben. Ben, who was running, looked back.
Damn you, Yuira Frontsen! I will not forget this humiliation!
Suddenly, a bolt of purple lightning struck Ben and blew him up, killing him instantly.
Taria, seeing Hazel bring out his Magic Staff, walked toward him and asked in a gentle tone, "Hazel, what are you doing?" Hazel, hearing his mother's voice, put the Magic Staff back into his Inventory and answered, "I just saw a Beast escaping."
A few hours later, when the party was over, Taria, Evan, Yuna, and Hazel were in front of Lloyd, Yuira, and Nurveus.
"Yuira, will you stay here or go somewhere else?" Taria asked.
"I will go somewhere else, Mother," Yuira answered.
Taria asked, "Do you know your next destination?"
Yuira nodded and answered, "Of course, I'm going to Vilka City."
Taria, Evan, Yuna, and Hazel got into the carriage, and then they all headed towards Greya City.
Lloyd turned around and walked toward the inn. Yuira looked back and saw Lloyd walking, then he looked forward. "In that case, we will return to the shop." Yuira and Nurveus walked toward the shop.
Outside, someone wearing a Doom Bringer cloak saw the event and immediately returned to the Doom Bringer headquarters.
At the Doom Bringer Headquarters, 10 people wearing Doom Bringer cloaks are sitting at a round table. They were the high-ranking members of Doom Bringer and also the users of 10 of the 13 Forbidden Weapons, weapons that possessed extraordinary power.
The person who observed the events in Noblesser returned; he knelt and informed them that Ben was dead and their presence was known. One of the High-ranking members, hearing that, was shocked. "What? We were found out?! You damn fool!" he shouted while hitting the table.
The Doom Bringer Leader calmly said, "Enough. Besides, it was my fault for giving him a chance."
The Doom Bringer Leader looked at one of the high-ranking members.
"Arviel, I want you to go to Vilka city... Awaken your brother and make that city an offering to the Fallen Archangels."
The high-ranking member named Arviel, who was the user of the Dark Warrior Longsword, stood up and said, "Very well."
