After two gunshots, two guards fell to the ground with an exaggerated smile. Lloyd parked the carriage at the entrance of the mansion. There are two human-shaped stone sculptures at the door. They are two knights holding a sword and pointing to the sky.
As the door of the carriage opens, Finty walks down slowly. Many servants stand beside the red carpet, once Finty stood on it all of them bow to her.
"Welcome back, lady Finty." The servants said in unison.
The servants saluted Finty with numb bodies and flat voices as if everyone were being manipulated by a person. Every movement was unnatural and weird, and their eyes seemed to reveal fear.
Finty couldn't help but sigh.
"Walker, when are you going to get rid of the habit of manipulating others? Your manipulation skills are so bad... didn't you notice that this servant's arm is almost broken? Finty walked to the servant beside the door.
This servant bows but the arm is twisted at an unnatural angle, with a look of pain on his face. As Finty swept his arm over the servant, several invisible silks broke. The servant was no longer controlled, and his arm returned to its normal angle. However, because the silk controlling him broke instantly, he immediately lost his center of gravity and fell forward.
Fortunately, Finty quickly grabbed the collar behind the servant's back and prevented him from falling to the ground. When the servant stabilized his body, he immediately thanked Finty, but the fear on his face remained unchanged.
Finty turned around, swept forward with a knife hand, and the silks that controlled them were broken. After the servants regained control, they thanked Finty, and then some of them took the carriage to the stable, while others went to the gate, seemingly to dispose of the body there.
"Ahaha... Welcome back, Finty!" The voice of a young sounded.
When Finty turned around, she saw a young boy open the door. The boy has pretty features on his face and black hair. His height seems like a child of 9 years old and right now, he was looking at Finty with an embarrassed face.
He wore a black beret and a beige jacket with a white shirt underneath, black pants, and black shoes. This color paired with his young face gives him a unique temperament. The name of this boy is called Walker.
Walker talked first when Finty was going to talk.
"Eh? Where is your rimmed eyeglasses?" He talks with a confused tone.
Finty is stunned for a moment and suddenly realizes that she didn't wear her eyeglasses, but it doesn't matter too much seems she still can see clearly.
"Oh I forgot it on the carriage, I was sleeping."
"Here, I took it."
Finty and Lloyd said at the same time.
Lloyd is holding Finty's wooden trunk and the dark blue flower in his hand, and Finty's rimmed eyeglasses in the other hand. Lloyd reached out and handed the glasses back to Finty.
"Hehe... your relationship looks good." Walker said a joke.
"Lloyd is a nice person, he can do many works, but he doesn't smile at everyone..." Finty slowly wipes the lenses.
"See? Lloyd you should try to smile, just like this... smile~" Walker does a warm smile.
After that Walker stares at Lloyd, expecting him to do the same. Lloyd had to force out a smile due to pressure from his superiors, however it was uglier than crying.
"...." Walker felt that Lloyd was doing it on purpose.
"Alright, let's get in and you better explain why you killed those guards." Finty said lightly while opening the door and leading them to go inside.
"Ah... you know our identities are very sensitive and cannot be known to others. Those humans hate aberrant for no good reason, pretty dumb." Walker walked beside Finty and complained.
"Humans are not dumb, they are quite smart." Finty refused Walker's opinion.
"If they are smart then I won't find out those two guards were replying to the military and other noble families." Walker sneered.
"I mean some of them are smart but some of them aren't. Did they successfully reply to military and noble families?" Finty added.
"No, I have killed them, also I have warned other servants and given a little punishment to all of them."
"But there is one person that I can't control him, you should take care of him."
With that, Walker glanced at Lloyd, and Finty did the same. Lloyd also noticed they were glancing at them, he knew that he was the one that Walker couldn't control because Lloyd was Finty's housekeeper and bodyguard.
"As long as I won't get threatened to death then I won't betray you guys." Lloyd said coldly.
Just like this, they didn't talk anymore but walked through the corridor and upstairs, then arrived at Finty's room. Finty asked Lloyd to briefly sort out the things in the wooden trunk and then started chatting with Walker outside the room.
"But how do they try to contact military and noble families? I remember we knocked out all of them when transferred to here, they wouldn't know where is this place." Finty said thoughtfully.
"Look at this." Walker gives Finty a letter.
Finty took the letter and opened it, quickly glancing at it but the more she read it, the deeper her frown becomes. Eventually, after finishing reading it, her hand burst out a powerful mana instantly burned the letter to ashes.
"Seth noble... Astor noble... they are guarding at the forest where I live. As for the military, they hate aberrant, if they found that we are aberrant they will definitely use every resource that they can use to kill us..." Finty said in a low voice.
"I'm sure with one thing, they are the first who contact our guards, seems no matter how low-key we are we will still be noticed by others." Walker sighed.
"Fortunately, I have killed the guards before they send that letter, or else our identity is exposed already." Walker sighed and leaned on the wall.
"Well then... I have to do my things faster." Finty said lightly.
"Oh, what are you going to do?" Walker asked.
"Make an ID card." Finty replied.
"ID card? Wait a second, who's ID card you going to make?" Walker said excitedly with confusion.
"I..." Finty's voice is cut off by Walker.
"Shh... wait! Let me guess! hmm... I've smelled something on you... it's... it's... human! But how? Do you go to other cities in these four years? I thought you just stayed in that forest." Walker asked.
Finty sighed and decided to tell him what happened in these four years. From the first time they meet to this morning. Just like this, Finty tells everything about Saze but doesn't include the Earth and the language problem, that's quite sensitive.
Walker was very shocked after hearing this. There was actually a child walking deep into the forest alone. Fortunately, he was not eaten by other monsters and was also caught by Mon who brought him to a ruined mansion.
"B-But don't you think is suspicious? Maybe he was a pawn of a faction? just military or noble." Walker asked with worry.
This worry was unnecessary because the first time, Finty knew that Saze was not a person of any factions because of the language. Finty also knew that Saze's secret might be true because of the "Earth" legend and his language is real, she has learned some English from Saze.
"Don't worry, he's not." Finty replied shortly.
At this time, Lloyd has finished sorting the things and come out of the room.
"Hey! Walker! Did you see the boy in the forest when you fetch up Finty?" Walker asked happily.
"Huh? Boy...? Oh yeah, that boy was... special, I mean in his face, at least I didn't see that kind of feature around these four empires, quite handsome and also gave me the feeling that he did not belong to this world, you know the transmigration novel? That was transmigrated to this world from another world." Lloyd said a lot in one breath.
"Whoa! I the first time heard you say so many words at once! Finty! Can you bring him here? I wanna see him!" Walker shouted happily.
"I guess you will see him soon, after I get his ID card." Finty replied.
"Hooray!!!" Walker cheers happily.
The happy atmosphere washes away the worry about the three factions and the letter. After that Finty enters her room, there are more things and stuff than in the room where she lives in the forest. More design, decoration, and engraving on the wall.
Finty sits on the wooden chair and gazes at the night sky through the window.
"At this time... Saze might be sitting on the roof and watching to eye rune of night, or he just lie in the nest of spiders... Hmm.. I should give him a room after I go back." Finty murmured, full of concern for Saze.
"Saze...?" Lloyd suddenly sounded scared Finty a bit.
"You know that you're not an assassin of the military now, right? it's okay to expose your footstep..." Finty turns her head and side glances at him.
"...How do you not notice me that I'm near you? Because of that boy? Hmm, so you actually stay with him for four years. I thought that he was the "human pet" that you bought from the slave market." Lloyd said lightly.
"I don't have a hobby of treating humans like pets or dogs, I'm not those inhumane noble." Finty holds her anger in her mind.
"Well then... sometimes I wonder, who the hell is the pervert that makes the "human pet" which treat slave like a dog..." Lloyd asked.
"You should asked your kind, Mr. Human~" Finty smiled and said in sarcasm.
"....." Lloyd was speechless this time.
"Seems Saze is really important to you... You got scared by me because you were thinking of him and you used a sarcastic tone to talk to me." Lloyd said after a moment with an unknown-meaning glance.
Seeing Lloyd's glance, Finty rose up and started twisting muscle as if preparing to fight. Lloyd gulps and chooses the best choice in this situation.
"Alright, I'll check if those servants dispose of the body well..." Lloyd was going to leave.
"It's ok, Walker will check it..." Finty said in low voice.
Finty smiled warmly, but in Lloyd's eyes, he saw the reaper waving its hand as if welcoming him to hell. If Saze was here he would know what Lloyd was going to face because when Saze talks bad words about Finty, she also does that to him.
Bong!
"Ahh!!!" A loud scream from Lloyd sounded.
"Tsk tsk tsk, seems Saze was really important to her." Walker heard to scream from Lloyd upstairs, he didn't go to help him but took a sip of red tea calmly.
