A few moments later
.....
Lirrios:"w-where am I?,last I remembered,there were masked men on the carriage"
FLASHBACK
---------------------
Lirios:"I can't wait to go home and tell my parents about this"
The rest:"Me neither,they're going to be so proud"
Mystic:"what's going on outside?"
Arwin:"yeah,what's with the noise"
Leocraft:"There's fighting,looks like we're in trouble"
Of course as a person who loves fighting,leocraft could easily tell that the sounds outside were due to swords clanging against each other "
Lilian:"there have recently been news of noble kids being captured,do you think it's them"
Lirios:"most likely,If that's the case,it would be in our best interest to follow them instead,but we have to make sure to show some level of resistance"
Mystic:"she's right,our parents would be notified immediately and will act soon"
Arwin:"Until then,we have to try and find out as much information as we can"
Leocraft:"we also have to put up enough resistance for it to not seem fake,but not enough to actually win"
Lilian:"right,since they went through with this,they must be smart enough to tell if we're being docile on purpose,and they probably don't know our levels"
Lirios:"well besides our parents and each other,even the other noble kids don't know our levels,let's get ready,and if any of you get hurt,tell me instead"
Mystic:"she's right,it won't be a wise decision to reveal our spatial rings at such a time,luckily our parents saw this coming,so they made our spatial rings look like normal cheap rings"
Arwin:"yep,and due to her being a two-class user,the healing power of lirrios is literally clear,which is the best camouflage"
Leocraft:"yep,their almost here,let's do this"
The five of them then went back to talking as though they didn't know what was going on outside,when they finally 'reacted' the masked men were already in front of them
Arwin:"w-who are you people"
Leocraft:"yeah,and what are you doing on our carriage"
The guards that came with them were smart,they were stunned when they saw their masters acting so weak,but when leocraft spoke,they caught on quickly
Guard:"young masters and misses,run,they're not friends,but rather foes"
Masked man:"run,I'm afraid it's too late for that"
After he said that,he signaled five people to 'knock out' the five children
Guard:"y-you'll never get away with this"
Masked man:"and yet i'm doing so right now"
Guard:"do you know who you've captured,their parents will find them immediately"
Masked Man:"why do all the guards say similar lines,if that's the case how come the other kids haven't been found yet,tah tah~,have fun being paralyzed~"
After 2 minutes when the masked men left,the guards who accompanied the five kids today managed to get up,they work for the Enkeli family,so they do have a higher immunity to poisons than other people,so the original thirty minutes became ten instead
Guard A:"we have to go and inform our masters fastly"
Guard B:"yes"
Leader:"guard A,go to the Anderson mansion,guard B go to the Huxley mansion,and guard C,go to the Adler mansion,I'll be headed to the Enkeli mansion,and since there's 8 of us,guard E come with me,and the others should divide amongst yourselves,do it fast"
Guards:"YES LEADER"
Then they all started moving towards their respective directions
--------------------(with the kids)
Lirios:"oh now I remember,guys?"
Mystic:"we're right here lirios,let's keep it down for now"
Arwin:"there seems to be a tool at work"
Leocraft:"mhm~,Although we were 'knocked out' from their movements,it didn't take that long to get here,so it should still be late in the afternoon and the sun should still be out"
Lilian:"they probably used this to make the kids lose hope,because they were captured when it's bright outside,and yet their parents still hadn't found them even though it's so dark"
Lirios:"that's the most likely situation,but are any of you hurt"
All of them:"NO"
Mystic:"since they kidnapped us,but didn't hurt us,they are probably commoners,and plan to use us for ransome"
Arwin:"yep,If not,then they're criminal who plan to use us to clear their names"
Leocraft:"from my tool,I checked around us,there's a total of 25 kids including us,and from their faces,they were probably captured somewhere between today,and three days ago"
Lilian:"mhm,but they don't seem malnourished,so they should have been well fed which decreases the chance of the captures being criminals by about 50 percent"
Lirios:"And from their clothing,which shows verifying statuses,they probably captured kids at random"
Mystic:"which mean they probably don't know who we are"
Lirios:"bingo"
Arwin:"that is the most likely situation,because if they knew who we were,we'd be treated differently since we're 'worth' more"
Leocraft:"I hear footsteps"
Lilian:"let's keep it down then"
???:"oh,so you guys are awake,you see,your guards claimed that your parents would find you soon,but its already been a few hours and yet you're still here"
..
???:"not talking?,well I guess there's no food for you guys this evening"
Arwin:"you won't get away with this"
???:"That's what they all say,and yet you're in there and I'm out here"
Lirios:"technically,from our point of view,you're the one who looks like your behind bars"
The other kids couldn't help but laugh when they heard what lirios said,she wasn't exactly wrong either,from their point of view,the person in front of them was the one behind bars
???:"Oh,you think you're so funny don't cha?"
Lirios:"no,not really,but you're definitely not"
???:"s-shut up,you're all just brats who don't know a single thing about hardships,no dinner for you,let's see if you'll still have that haughty attitude when you're hungry and thirsty"
