Why?!
Just why would a hidden organization like Sword Of Freedom want from a girl that was just at the Master Level swordsman?!
Maybe to kidnap for a ransom from her family?!
Or maybe they want to do an experiment in her Blood Sword Powers?!
But....
But that would mean angering one of the strongest Sword Clans in the whole world!
The Zenith Clan!
A clan full of swordsmen with both finesse, technique and deadliness in any battlefield they are deployed!
This was a clan that would undoubtedly be at the third, even second ranked clan in the whole world in terms of clan strength alone!
And being hunted by them, wouldn't be easy because of their Blood Sword Powers, the Future Sight!
You can't run away from them!
You can't defeat them!
You can't even hide!
So why would they risk creating such a situation for one little girl?!
*SWOOOSHH!!!
As everyone was pondering about the situation a gust of wind suddenly disturbed the area.
"Huh?!"
Miura and the others frowned when they looked at the two black hooded figures in front of them.
"What the hell happened here?!"
*SWOOOSHH!!!
A huge amount of killing intent spilled out from both of the two hooded figures.
*SWOOOSHH!!
*SWOOOSHH!!!
Soon there were another batch of hooded figures arriving one after another!
These were assassins from the Assassination Department of the kingdom.
They were being deployed and were on a mission when they felt the disturbance from the mansion of the count.
It made their mission both hard and easy!
The crowd formed which made it hard to approach the target, but at the same time made it easy!
And after that, the stationed soldiers helped to pacify the crowd, then they went in after finishing their mission!
*Gulp!
Miura and the others gulped in nervousness and cold sweat ran through their backs!
There were too many of them! Almost fifteen now!
And they don't even know if they are enemies or not!
"You dare kill a noble?! Who the hell are you?!"
*Ziiinngg!!
*W-wait!!"
Seeing one of them approach as they unsheathed their katanas, captain Haruta hurriedly called out to them!
"Wait! He's the second son of the count! Miura Nakamura! And we found out that Maeda, the supposedly succeeding Count was in cahoots with the Sword Of Freedom Organization!"
""What?!!""
This time, the hooded figures were stunned!
Captain Haruta had decisively told them the information.
Even not knowing if these men were friends or foes!
The six of them were exhausted and Miura was already on the verge of fainting! So he was gambling whether they live or not depends on what happens next!
"We'll be investigating that information! Get them to a doctor!
The lot of you, you will be briefed on how you will handle the information regarding us!
Go!"
""Yessir!!""
"Huuuhh!!!"
Captain Haruta and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but Miura suddenly waved his hand and tried to talk!
"W- haaahh.. wai!...laa.....Laaa..lime!!"
*Thud!
After saying incoherent words he fainted!
"Hmmm??!"
The Assassins were puzzzled at his words.
"Ah!"
But then Captain Ahruta remembered!
"Lime! Yes! Lime! This war! This whole situation! The Sword Of Freedom Organization wanted something from Lime!"
"What?! Who is this Lime?!"
"Sir! Lime Zenith! The second daughter of the Clan head of the Zenith clan! The Sword Of Freedom Organization wanted something from her!
That was what Maeda Nakamura told us from his last breath!"
Haruta hurriedly explained!
"And where is she right now!"
This time, the Assassins were on alert!
Right now, something big might really be happening!
"Sir! Maeda said that there were kids being kidnapped from the mountain borders of the two county!
They forced us to separate and Lime wanted to help those kids so, we separated, but now it seems like it was a trap!"
"But why?!"
Asked the hooded man.
"That...we don't know!.. he died right after telling us that it this situation was all about Lime!"
"I understand, we will follow up on her now, you guys get healed up first!"
*SWOOOSHH!!!
*SWOOOSHH!!!!
Then more than half of them followed up the man, while the rest helped them up and escorted them to a workshop that actually has hidden room for a hospital!
-----
On the other hand, Lime and the two others with her, were now at the base of the mountain.
This was in the middle of the night, so the cluster of trees looked very creepy, dark and full of weird noises from various monsters and animals!
"Huuuuuuhhhh!!!"
Taking a deep breath, after that long and hurried run, Lime looked for clues and found a small pathway.
"There!"
"Hmm! Let's go! Lime, Alvin!"
Omar whispered.
"Hmm!!"
Both Lime and Alvin nodded their heads as they slowly walked towards the pathway.
Not knowing what really was the scheme behind all this situation!
*End Of Chapter.
