The sound of steps echoed in the darkness as masked figures slowly crept toward the manor where the lord lived. The manor itself was 4 stories tall and had iron fences around the premises to shun away unwanted guests.
" Such a crude magic!"
Licht easily broke the enchantment as they entered the area without any problem. There were no guards or dogs that were protecting the manor and this was a good thing. Perhaps, the lord believed no one would dare to enter his home without permission, but people like Licht had always ways to do something like this.
" The manor is around 300 steps away. Lisha, I need you to stay here as a sniper. You have to hunt those who look suspicious. Beware, you mustn't shoot knights. Otherwise, we would end up in a prison later."
Licht warned her with a stern face as motioned Daemon to move. Despite being a tall man, Daemon was a nimble and quick thinker who was used to reckon missions, and most of the time he went out with Mikael who was an excellent scout and archer.
" I don't know where they are, but I guess we would have to kidnap a maid or a butler. They should have known his exact room."
Licht spoke calmly, approaching the manor like a ghost. Daemon nodded at his words, believing that nobody would be able to fight them in this manner. Honestly, if he or Licht wanted to destroy this manor, they would just use their full power to blow this place away from a safe distance, but they had to find Regina and others while preventing antagonizing knights.
" Door is there. Daemon, you look at our back and I will find a servant first since I am smaller and more agile than you."
Licht silently opened the back door which was unlocked and he proceeded to the area where the candles were lit. Due to rural regions, this place only had a few magic lights and most of the lighting was candles.
" Who is there!"
Before the maid screamed with her all, Licht blocked her mouth and dragged her to the room where he found her on his way. The room was a storage with quite spacious interior which could accommodate both Licht and Daemon.
" Don't worry, we won't hurt you. You have to do as we say. Do you understand?"
Licht talked gently, as he gently removed his hand from her mouth. The maid immediately sighed with relief as she looked at these two unknown men.
" What do you want, sir?"
She asked with a trembling body while fearing they might harm her. No idiot would believe they were guests that lost in this section of the house.
" Have you seen beautiful women that weren't seen in this city before in this manor? They should have been here for a few days and some of them are demi humans."
When Licht finished his words, the maid shrunk back in fear because she understood these men had no good intentions. She thought leaving this place with her life was a good choice since no one wants to die for the pig lord. She was constantly harassed by the lord and if it wasn't for his brother, he might have raped most of the maids here.
" I have seen them, sirs. They are currently residing in the west wing of the manor. I can help you to get there."
The maid spoke with honesty that Licht appreciated. He never imagined this would be this easy and his people would be willing to betray him. Somehow he felt a little bad for him.
" That was easy."
Daemon said with amazement because he also thought the same. He even questioned the loyalty of the southern people because most of them seemed to care for themselves only in the end.
" The west wing is only reserved for the lord and his so-called guests. Even his brother was prohibited from entering the area because he imprisoned the captured people there. By the way for your information, the lord is bisexual. He sleeps with both genders."
The maid spoke with a light tone as she looked at them. Licht felt all his hair rise.
