105 105. Sadistic
"What happened!? That came from the Lord's Manor, did it not!?"
"You're kidding me, an attack!?"
"Is the Countess and her family okay!? Dear Goddesses, please protect them all."
Everyone grew warry of the situation. The people of the city were not running away; however, they were rushing towards the manor, carrying buckets of water, trying to see if they can help in any way.
"Mama, what's happening?" A shaking voice came out of Filla. She's scared and warry of what might happen.
However, at that moment, Mina was also shaking. Unpleasant memories rushed, 'It's just like that time, I-I…'
She was trembling from fear.
"Mama…?"
But then, she her daughters' face. The fear she held disappeared. She remembered Maya, her mother, and how she faces things she was most fearful of.
'A mother must be strong so that her children can feel secure.' Minacleched her fist and touched her belly, "Don't worry, everything's all right. Mama's here." Mina's voice was no longer shaking.
She was praying for the best and was ready to escape. However, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a white shadow passed by.
"Mary! Watch out!"
Mary, who was stunned at the sight of the Edgeworth Manor being attacked, failed to hear Mina's cries.
Mary lost the ability to move and only regrouped herself when someone took her by the hair and hammered her head on the ground.
"GAH!" Mary couldn't do anything, and the white-haired man who had been silent took out Mary without a problem.
Mary didn't lose consciousness, but she lost her strength to move or even raise her head.
The white-haired man shook his head and turned to the carriage.
He entered the carriage only to be greeted by a fist of a Healer-Mage square to the face.
BAM!
"Get the hell away from my family!" A powerful voice sounded out from inside the carriage.
It was a powerful impact that drew blood from the enemy. And yet, the white-haired man didn't even move a single step backward.
He merely laughed, saying, "Commendable, but your fist is shaking."
The white-haired man grabbed Mina by the wrist and pulled her towards and then headbutted her, knocking out the cowering Mina.
"Okay, you're coming with me…now, I need one of the brats."
While speaking a light exploded from behind Mina. A yellow light that is laced with red light coated Hylda's body.
A spear pierced through the air.
It was unexpected that, even Hylda, the one who executed the attack, didn't know that she was already making a move.
It must have been because there was no pressure or because of the shock of seeing Mina get attacked, but Hylda made a move to protect her mother.
She was weak, unbelievably weak, but she didn't care.
She knew of this, but for her, that didn't matter. For Hylda, Mina was her parent.
Mina was one someone who took accepted someone like her as a daughter. She cared for them wholeheartedly. She was the one who gave her the feeling of having a mother, and most importantly, she's her mother.
"Get away from my mother!" Hylda desperately wanted to protect her newfound family.
Hylda fearlessly jumped forward with the weapon she brought to make a demonstration in the Orphanage. The tip of her spear didn't have a specific trajectory. It was pointed at the man, and that's all that mattered.
However, that spear was caught with two fingers. The white-haired man then grabbed the shaft of the spear and swung it to the side of the carriage, bashing Hylda's body on the wall.
Hylda coughed up blood. Her organs had been damaged.
The white-haired man stared at Hylda, and spoke, "Poor lass." He said, yet that sadistic smile never left.
On one side of the carriage was Filla, who was frantically trying to form a spell. Under the pressure of seeing Hylda and Mina get hurt, Filla's mind was starting to crumble.
Failing to conjure even a single Magic Circle, Filla couldn't cast a single spell.
Tears were flowing down her face. She was afraid and was trembling, and yet she tried facing the white man, "G-get away from them! I-I've been trained by Grampapy, y-you don't scare me."
She wanted to do something. But in the end, she amounts to nothing.
"You'll do, I supposed."
The white-haired man approached Filla and hit her in the solar plexus. The blow was enough to make the lass lapse into unconsciousness!
Carrying Filla and Mina, the white-haired man, looked back at Hylda and thought, "It's best if I send out a stronger message."
His grin grew even wider as he raised his leg. He wanted to smash Hylda's head as to make a stronger impression; however, a dense killing intent swept him.
Mina's hands moved and grabbed onto his neck. Her bloodshot eyes opened wide, and her fingers became akin to steel, "DON'T TOUCH HER!"
However, a few seconds later, Mina's fingers lost its grip. Blood continuously flowed out of the cut that appeared on her head. She had lost too much blood.
The man felt his neck break free of her grasps. He couldn't say anything for a good three seconds, and only a massive pressure coming from the Edgeworth Manor broke him out of that trance.
'Tch, the Monster of the Manor had broken out of shock. I can't stay here any longer. Besides, this woman…is someone I really like.' His grin could not get any bigger.
With Mina and Filla in his hand, the man stepped out of the carriage. He didn't even notice that he wrote off killing Hylda.
Mary, who was trying her best to stand up, was seen by the man and had her legs were broken as it was stepped on.
The man left a single line, "If you want them to leave, then give us the heads of Shickly and Liron in 32 hours. If you fail to comply, then we will send you the head of these two instead."
The man in white left with a pleasant smile on his face. Mary was there, writhing in pain, and Hylda was hanging by a tread.
The man in white quickly moved away. Escaping amidst the sea of troubled people, it was reasonably easy to make an escape.
He escaped over the walls, and when he turned his attention to Edgeworth Manor for a second, a terrifying amount of aura and bloodlust escaped the premises.
'The Mages should be dead by now…we got what we came for. This should be enough.'
And as he left, a hurrying white carriage came into the city.
Colt had arrived, the exact moment Mina was taken.
