I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

Chapter 94

10. What Happened One Night – 12

And, there were those who watched the battle between Cain and the Knights of Dekaraznan in the dark from beginning to end.

“Dekaraznan has failed. In the end, I missed the beast that kidnapped Sara.”

Sarah’s uncle, Gail Cernard, gathered all the servants of Count Cernard’s family together and was muttering something in a low voice. In front of the middle-aged man, Sernard’s servants in various outfits were quietly listening to him with their heads bowed.

The official identities of those known by the Decaraznan family were servants, coachmen, and cooks for Sarah Cernard’s convenience and service, but looking at their unofficial identities, the ‘hunting dogs’ secretly raised by Count Cernard’s family could be said to be their true identity. could

A swordsman in the dark who only listens to orders from his direct lineage, including Count Cernard, and is often mobilized for tasks that require force. In order not to tarnish the apparent honor of Sernard, they were a group of lowly stray dogs worked by Count Sernard, who were often mobilized to take care of all sorts of dirty work through the back hole.

“The identity of the pleural effusion is unknown. Also, the reason why the beast kidnapped Sarah is unknown. However, one thing is certain: the beast is holding on to the circumstances and information about us.”

It was public. Of course, Sara is kidnapped at this historic moment when her beloved nephew and the Duke of Dekaraznan may be in a union. The timing was too precise to dismiss this as a mere coincidence.

‘…If I had to question it, Estelle’s little boy would be suspicious…’

The middle-aged man still hadn’t forgotten. The day Cain arrived at the Duke of Dekaraznan, his expression hardened as soon as he met Sarah. Cain’s face, as if he had reunited with his long-lost lover, looked at him with a sad look.

…And even the unusual side of the little duke, who looked extremely angry when he saw that he treated Sarah casually as he usually did. If I had to identify a suspect, the Duke of Estelle would have to be the person with the greatest suspicion.

However, the middle-aged man soon shook his head and denied such thoughts. First of all, the mysterious beast that fought head-on with the Knights of Dekaraznan just now showed off a truly remarkable feat. Judging by the fact that he radiated light that was assumed to be an Auror midway through the battle, it was presumed that he was a warrior who had reached the level of a master.

‘Couldn’t that stupid bastard be a soldier who has reached the level of a master?’

Cain von Estel, who still lingers in the middle-aged man’s memory, was nothing more than a pathetic and pathetic idiot who couldn’t do anything but flirt while looking at Sara’s face. There was no way that such a Cain would have reached the pinnacle of being a military man and reached the realm of a Master, who is said to have reached the pinnacle.

Plus, decisively, the Duke of Estelle was-

“Haam, what’s going on? What kind of fuss is this in the middle of the night?”

It was because he appeared with the white-haired girl he always took by his side, with an expression as if he had just woken up, as if he still hadn’t grasped the situation. No matter how you look at it, it was too much to say that the unidentified intruder who had just shown off his amazing inaction and the little duke, who was yawning and gaping his mouth wide open with a sleepy look on his face, were the same person.

‘…Yes, probably not.’

The middle-aged man withdrew his suspicious gaze from Cain and gave a final command to the ‘hunting dogs’ gathered in front of him.

“I am going to retrieve Sara from now on. Since it is a valuable ‘commodity’, care must be taken to avoid any damage during the collection process. It is okay to kill the beast that kidnapped Sara. I’d like to ask what he was thinking when he did this, but there’s no need to. Keep in mind that you don’t have mercy in your hands, so you have to make sure you get things done.”

The middle-aged man bluffed, and the hounds only nodded quietly. How to deal with an unmanned person who has reached the level of a master? There were no whining humans anywhere. It may be a one-on-one duel, but there are not many humans who can handle the ‘hunting dogs’ on the battlefield where each other kills each other. Individual hounds were not very strong, but instead they were tenacious, tenacious, and vicious.

And the hounds began to disappear one by one without even a sign. A considerable amount of time has passed since the abductor left the Duke of Decaraznan. You will have to hurry to catch up with them from now on. After all the hounds disappeared, the middle-aged man took a last glance at the place where Duke Estelle was and disappeared himself.

So he didn’t notice until the last moment. The fact that the white-haired girl next to Duke Estelle was staring at him with a meaningful look until the last moment.

The fact that the shadow does not exist for Duke Estelle, who is here.

****

A secluded forest located a short distance from the residence of Duke Dekaraznan. Cain was walking slowly through the middle of the forest, still holding Sarah in his arms.

Just a moment ago, his stamina was consumed more rapidly than he thought, probably because he had a sword dance with the knights of Dekaraznan, including the princess. Considering my future plans, it was better to rest as much as possible to recover my physical strength when I could. After a little while, things will happen that will require you to go wild beyond comparison with just before.

…Anyway, Cain had no intention of leaving this forest. Because this forest was the place he decided to make the final battleground in this plan. It meant that this forest was the banquet hall prepared to attract the ‘hunting dogs’ that Sernard was raising and the bastard called Sara’s uncle.

Cain gently brushed Sarah’s disheveled hair, who had lost consciousness in his arms from the previous shock. In the next few hours and hours, everything will be settled. All the unreasonable things you have had to endure will come to an end. As much as the tears you had to shed in the meantime, you will be able to be happy in the future.

The fight I want to do from this moment on is a fight for your freedom, and at the same time a fight for my atonement for not being aware of your pain for the past 20 years. Before the return, I had no choice but to let you marry an idiot like Lucian von Tournisen, but this time I will help you connect with the person you love.

…It wasn’t that Lucian acted like this because he was mean. yes, never

It was then. Aria’s voice flowed from Cain’s communication magic tool.

– Cain. The hounds of Count Sernard’s family started chasing them. In the next few minutes, I think we will reach where Cain is currently.

– Yeah, thanks for letting me know, Aria.

It was the moment I had been waiting for with my eyes to see when they would arrive here. Thinking that he will have to prepare to entertain guests now, Cain steps a little faster than before. Still, Zira Cain, who still had some time left, decided to ask Arya a question.

– …By the way, Aria.

– Yes, Cain.

– The magic I used on the princess just now. Wasn’t it too powerful?

It is true that Arya’s timely sniping allowed her to leave the spot without any damage, but to be honest, the flash of light was too strong even though it was powerful. If an ordinary person, no, an ordinary knight, had been hit by such an attack from a blind spot, it was magic with such high firepower that it would have evaporated without a trace. Perhaps, if the princess hadn’t had the black dragon’s side, Aria’s magic was so strong that even if she hadn’t died, an unfortunate accident would have happened that one of her limbs would have gone missing.

– The situation was so urgent at the time. I think I made a mistake in adjusting the power. And, I thought that only when I cast such strong magic would the princess get scared and give up the pursuit. If I have gone off topic, I apologize.

Arya’s answer was completely unobstructed, and Cain hesitated as to what to answer. In the first place, isn’t it contradictory to say that he made a mistake in power control in the front, but deliberately uses high-powered magic behind the scenes?

“No, well, I don’t think I’m presumptuous… It’s true that you’ve been helpful…”

When Cain hesitantly answered Aria, it was to the point where I could feel Aria’s expression brightening beyond the magic tool.

– Does that mean I did a good job? is that so? No, that’s right, right? Yes?

“…Well, I guess so.”

Cain barely nodded, and Arya again pursued an incomprehensible question.

– So what if we compare it to Bianca?

“…What?”

Why is Bianca’s name popping up here all of a sudden?

– …Well, so Bianca-sama and I are the same wizard. I’ve been thinking about it a little lately, and it seems that Bianca’s and my positions overlap a bit. Of course, such a scary person who is only learning a lot of magic to kill others and I, who is learning many useful magic to assist Cain, can’t be the target of comparison, but if I were to compare them, I wonder who would be more helpful? I mean.

“…..”

As I listened to Arya’s words quietly, I could only think that Arya and Bianca’s suffocating bloody battle was far from over. No, maybe this fight won’t end until the moment one of them stops breathing. Even after fighting so bloody that day, was something still lacking?

But since Arya was here and Bianca didn’t exist, there was only one thing Cain could say. After wishing condolences to Bianca, who was not present, Cain shamelessly opened his mouth and answered Aria.

“…Well, I think you did better.”

– Are you saying that I will be of help to Cain? That’s what you meant by that, right?

“Yeah, right. I have received so much help from you lately.”

On the other hand, after returning, all Bianca did to Cain were fraud, kidnapping, artificial memory loss, and magic to pierce several beautiful holes in the body, so no matter how much I thought about it, it must have been Arya’s landslide victory this time.

‘…sorry. Bianca.’

It just made me wonder if this was all the usual karma that came back to you in this way.

‘I won.’

At this moment, Arya felt very uplifted. I was really looking forward to seeing what kind of expression he would make if he told Bianca this story back to the Duke of Estelle.

“…Hmm, Cain?”

It was then. Sara, who had been unconscious all the time, slowly began to open her eyes, as if she had regained consciousness. She was momentarily confused, not knowing why she was here. Realizing that Cain was still holding her in his arms, she closed her eyes tightly.

“…Ka, Cain…”

“Why, Sarah?”

When Sarah hesitates on something and can’t properly follow through, Cain asks her a question with a slightly puzzled look.

“…that, that’s…”

It was the first time in her life that she had been held in the arms of an outsider for so long. In a word, everything bothered me and bothered me. As he held himself in his arms, he wondered if he was thinking that Cain was heavy. A strange thought ran through her head, wondering if Cain might have frowned as she smelled the body that emanated from her.

sniff-

‘…The body, it seems to be the same.’

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to emit any strange odors. If I had known this would happen, I would have sprayed some perfume on before leaving the room!

“…why is your nose sniffing all of a sudden?”

“…I think I caught a cold.”

As Sarah struggles to make excuses with her face turning bright red, Arya’s voice is heard again through the receiver.

– …Kain-nim, aren’t you thinking about something strange? Yes?

“…..”
