110 Thanks after disturbing his sleep? (2/2)

”But I wanted to talk with him! I have to thank him for saving me that day.” Clara desperately tried to reason with Blaze.

Only when Blaze heard her words did he put the pieces together and remembered that there was an event in which Ozul had killed the assassin, preventing the assassination.

However, Blaze couldn't let her enter even after realizing why this girl wanted to meet with Ozul so much.

”Forgive me, but I have my orders.”- Blaze coldly spat. He had no reason to be kind to this girl.

*Fuuu...*

It was at this time when Venessa caught up to Clara, panting because she was out of breath.

”Young Miss! You shouldn't be here. Let's go!” Venessa was supposed to follow Clara's orders, but it was also her duty to tell her what is right and what is wrong. And she felt that her current behavior was anything but right.

”But Venessa! I just wanted to say thank you to him. I will leave afterward, promise!” Clara tried to reason with her.

After hearing her, Venessa thought it might actually not be so bad. If Clara could only express her thanks to that weird guy, she wouldn't have to chase her all day.

”... Okay. But remember, you promised!” Venessa agreed before reminding her that she promised. To this, Clara hurriedly nodded her head like a chicken pecking on the ground.

”Hey, you! Step aside! Don't you see that we want to go inside?” Venessa scolded when she noticed that Blaze stood unmoving like a mountain, not letting them pass.

”I can't let you do that. I have my orders.” Blaze didn't move an inch from his place.

”Who do you think you are?!” His behavior enraged Venessa. She didn't expect that a random mercenary would dare to be so bold as to refuse them.

Since she was a rank-6 mage, she could easily deduce that Blaze was a rank-5 mage. In anger, she released her aura, trying to scare him with the pressure.

However, she was surprised to see that even when Blaze didn't back down. Instead, he had immediately formed many ice shards around him and was ready to attack her!

It astonished her because even after knowing that he couldn't win, this man still chose to fight!

”You lowlife! If this is how you want it, then let me show you-” Venessa didn't like the attitude of this mercenary. So she had decided to show him his place by fighting. However, she couldn't finish her sentence when suddenly she felt chills all around her.

These chills weren't because she was fighting with an Ice mage. It was something completely different.

She wanted to look around her, but the fear took over her body as she started sweating. It felt like some beast was preying on her and would pound at her any moment now. The bloodlust was so strong that even her knees started shaking.

Despite not being able to move her body, she tried to sense where it was coming from only to realize that all of this bloodlust was directed at her from the tent before her!

Only then did it dawn upon her that this was a warning from the man inside the tent—a warning not to touch his men, or he would rip her to pieces even without her knowing!

Only after that did she remember that it was also this man inside the tent who had killed the rank-7 mage without even looking at him!

It meant there was supposedly no one here in the entire convoy who could match his power, not even Sir Hanry!

Understanding her position, she was ready to comply with whatever he asked of her. However, there was a big problem in that—she couldn't even move to express her obedience!

'... but what is this feeling inside my chest? Why am I enjoying this!?' Venessa didn't understand why, but in this situation where she should be worried about her life, she was getting excited!

Fortunately, Raven appeared on the scene before anything happened. Others couldn't sense the bloodlust that was directed at Venessa, but it was not that difficult for Raven because she was familiar with it already.

With one look at the face of Venessa, Raven understood who the unfortunate person was. If only she knew that despite being in a tight situation, the maid was actually enjoying it!

”You want to thank him, right?” Raven ignored the situation of Venessa, who was going to drop on the floor any minute now.

”... Yes.” Clara didn't understand why this girl was asking her this question, but she answered nonetheless.

”And you will express your thanks after disturbing his rest?” Raven questioned with sarcasm dripping from her voice.
