Chapitre 7: It Was Her..
"lio give the medicine to Sebastian and let him wake up"
the duke stood up and watched lio leaving from the room with the cure, he again looked at lapiz and brushed her hair with his hands
"I hate seeing you like this"
he said to the sleeping lapiz with a bitter face
"I should leave after Sebastian wake up, too bad I can't talk to you this time again"
he walked towards the door and left the room and headed towards lio who was giving Sebastian the medicine in the kitchen
"how is it going"?
he asked lio who was feeding Sebastian the cure
"the gas came from the kitchen"
lio said to the duke while glancing at him
"so it means that there was an imposter in the kitchen maids"
the duke walked towards Sebastian and looked at Gautier
"research this Gautier"
a man who had short brown hair with a muscular body who was wearing the knight's uniform and also the right hand of the duke that was Gautier he was one of the best swordsman of the empire and served the duke of Alodia
"I understand your grace"
Gautier left the kitchen while the other two knights were still there, Sebastian's opened his eyes slowly and saw lio and the duke in front of him
"ah your back my lord"
he stood up slowly and bowed
"I greet the grand duke of the empire Khalid de vertos Alodia"
Sebastian stood straight and looked at lio
"I see that the white tiger is also here"
lio ignored Sebastian's statement and stood beside Khalid
"I didn't think that the man who is the strongest butler in the whole lazuli history was caught in this assassination"
Khalid said by shrugging and slightly smirking
"the guy who is the strongest butler in the lazuli history has turned to an old man who can not see who is the imposter"
Sebastian backfired Khalid's statement and shrugged while tilting his head
"cut the jokes 'seko'"
lio grumbled
"now now calling me bastard in the sectarian's language is a bit too much you know"
lio pulled out his sword while Khalid stopped him
"cut the jokes Sebastian, so what exactly happened"
the duke asked Sebastian
"it seems like there was an imposter among the cooks who planned to kill my lady, however it didn't turn out that good since I caught him"
the duke rubbed his hair using his fingers
"but seems like that guy had a cheap trick which was using the sleeping gas"
"I see, but why was the hall empty"?
the duke asked Sebastian who was confused
"empty"?
Sebastian shrugged, it took a moment for them to realize the actual motive of the assassination
"DON'T TELL ME"!!
All three of them runned to lapiz's room only to find her missing
"w-wha"!!
Sebastian was sweating hardly while Khalid and lio searched the room
"it was an illusion magic"
Khalid said by sighing, both lio and Sebastian had a worried look on their face
"lio and Sebastian look inside, I will search outside"
they both nodded and left the room, while Khalid jumped out of the window and searched for lapiz outside
'whoever planned this, they did it amazingly'
Khalid ran towards the big garden filled with blue Hydrangea
'they used a fake assassin to make sure we don't realize that there was another motive and also used illusion magic to erase the maids who had fainted'
'lapiz walked outside by herself which ruined their original plan and me showing up was also a mess'
Khalid stopped and closed his eyes
'however, everything turned good for them since I left the lapiz's room and all the knights were in the kitchen'
Khalid concentrated his MANA to his eyes which made the blackish red eyes glow in fully red
'their motive is to either kill lapiz or to use her special MANA'
the surroundings Khalid saw turned into red and there were blue traits leading the way
'the only way to find lapiz is to use my eyes'
he started following the blue traits with maximum speed
'it will be dangerous for me to use this and also fight the assassin, but I have no choice'
Khalid finally reached the end of the trait, which was inside a cave
'I should walk carefully, there may be some traps in here'
he slowly walked through the cave and saw some light in the inside
'LAPIZ'?!
a woman with long hair which reached to the tip of her legs her dark blue hair was shinning because of the campfire she was wearing a silky dress which was long yet teared she was holding a dagger in her hands which had blood in it
"l-lapiz"?
that woman was the only remaining heir of the lazuli, there were people wearing black clothes lying on the floor stabbed, her eyes were souless, it was as if she went through something horrible that no one can imagine
"I must kill you too"
lapiz walked towards Khalid, however she lost balance in her legs and slowly fainted while falling down
"LAPIZ"!!
Khalid ran towards lapiz who fell down and lifted her up, he looked at the people who were killed by her and sighed
"what the hell is going on"
just when he was about to leave, he saw both Sebastian and lio inside the cave
"your grace"
"my lord"
both of them called out to Khalid, Sebastian saw lapiz in his hands and ran towards them
"you found her"
lio said to Khalid while also walking towards him
"lio take care of the dead bodies, I need to go back to the mansion"
lio nodded while Sebastian and Khalid started running back to the mansion
"did you kill those people"?
Sebastian asked Khalid who was silent
"no I didn't"
he replied while dashing forward with lapiz in his hand, Sebastian suddenly stopped running and looked at Khalid
"t-then who was it"?
he asked with a totally visible confusion, Khalid also stopped moving and glanced at lapiz
"it was her"
