Chapter 24 (1/2)

4. Discord

When Navia was lying on the floor, Charlotte came into the room.

“M-Miss!”

Wood quickly cast a spell and knocked Charlotte out.

Thud!

Unless it was Navia who could steal magic, this was no big deal.

Of the three servants in Navia’s room, Tom began to tremble as two people had already fallen to the floor.

Wood snorted at Tom.

“You’re not closing the door?”

“I-I’m sorry, Young Master…”

Tom swore inwardly at the fact that he was caught by Wood and got involved in something dangerous. But as seen just now, Wood was a wizard, so he could endanger him even as an adult. If he doesn’t follow his orders, he will be retaliated, so he trembled but didn’t disobey.

“Shit, I didn’t think of the fact that she has a maid…”

Wood looked at Charlotte annoyingly.

“You two keep this maid in an unused detached house. The remaining one, take the low-life to the warehouse.”

Duke Agnes had many external facilities other than the main house. Some were small huts that even some of the workers didn’t know of. He was going to take Navia to an outside warehouse and use violence to show her his dominance.

‘I’ve been searching for a place all day yesterday for this.’

“But… will we be able to go without being caught?”

Wood got annoyed with Tom asking cautiously with an anxious expression.

“You’re going down through the balcony anyway, so what’s the problem?!”

Wood’s magic was never lacking. It was an excellent axis because of his superior descent.

It wasn’t a problem to lower an adult woman and a girl with his power.

“It won’t take long anyway.’

It won’t take half a day to overpower Navia.

Even if Nikan considered Navia important, he could only pick out parts that wouldn’t be noticed and form bruises.

Wood giggled, imagining Navia crying and begging for help.

“Come on, go down and be on standby.”

“Yes.”

He hummed and lowered the two down magically.

His movements were surprisingly delicate.

“Kikik. You can’t get hurt now.”

It would be a big problem if she broke before he could vent his anger.

So Wood went down the first floor quietly. The servants did not find it strange for Wood to go out of the mansion.

Upon arrival at the back garden, the other two servants had already disappeared with Charlotte, and Tom was left alone with Navia on his back.

“Let’s go.”

Tom sighed inwardly as he just had to take Navia.

He just prayed that he wouldn’t get caught by anyone.

Wood moved away from the main building. Entering the forest trail behind the mansion, a place decorated like a mountain cabin appeared.

There was also an old warehouse that had been abandoned for more than 100 years.

“Lower the low-life over there.”

“Huk, huk. Yes… Young Master.”

Tom was carrying Navia during the long walk, so he was out of breath. He put Navia down in the old wooden warehouse. He frowned upon the mold.

“Now, shall I wake up that low-life now?

At that time, the servants who were in charge of moving Charlotte rushed in.

“Young Master! You have to go back to your room quickly!”

Wood, who just poured water on Navia to wake her up, looked back annoyingly.

“What is it!”

“The Master attached a knight to keep an eye on the Young Master. He asked where the Young Master is right now and was told that you were taking a walk in the garden…”

Wood gritted his teeth. He was just about to take care of the low-life, but there’s surveillance?

“Why did Father suddenly put me on watch?!”

“It is probably because he was requested at the Imperial Palace.”

Wood’s eyes shined.

“He’s going to the Imperial Palace? Hm, then that’s rather better.”

‘I’ll lie that I’ll be in my room to get rid of the knight, then I can come back here and beat the crap out of the low-life.’

He thought that it was a perfect plan.

“Let’s go back for now. Lock the warehouse.”

Wood returned back to his room on the third floor. As the servant said, there was a knight standing in front of his room. He snorted as he entered his room.

But the knight, whom he thought would be guarding in front of his door, followed Wood inside.

“…what’s with you? Why are you following me in?”

“His Excellency ordered me to escort the Young Master right next to you.”

“This… you’re not leaving right now? Stay outside!”

“I apologize.”
