Kieran and Mary walked side by side.
Following the red carpet, they entered the southern reinforcement camp but they didn't go straight to the main tent. Instead, they headed towards the place where the agonizing screams came from.
It was Kieran's suggestion.
Mary didn't object.
Although she wasn't an adult yet, Mary understood something that many adults didn't: once the fangs were shown, there was no need to keep them back.
An unsheathed sword would only be retracted after decapitation!
Mary deeply agreed with Kieran's suggestion.
On top of that, Mary was quite curious about the Ghastly Woods Sect member who was like her aunt.
However, when she saw the man, she was very disappointed.
The man was as tall as a dwarf, with a ferocious face. His clothes were messy and beside him, gold and silver ornaments were scattered all over the floor. Mary glanced over the size of the ornaments and her face slightly changed.
"Repulsion?"
Mary asked softly.
"Em."
Kieran nodded.
The Ghastly Woods Sect member was obviously rebounded by the power of the curse.
Kieran, who had experienced it many times before, dared not underestimate the power of the curse. Therefore, he forbade Mary from getting close to the man.
Even Kieran himself kept a certain distance from the man.
Kieran sized up the man carefully.
The Ghastly Woods Sect member who suffered the repulsion was still screaming endlessly. The man saw Kieran and Mary.
The man wasn't completely defenseless against the repulsion.
She still had a little bit of strength left.
Unfortunately, the little bit of strength she had was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. The scene just now was enough for her to understand the gap between her and Kieran.
So …
Run!
The man who wasn't a Knight didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
So …
Gawk!
A black crow made entirely of mist suddenly flew out from the man's arms and into the sky.
The man continued to scream and shouted at Kieran and Mary with a vengeful voice.
"I'm dead!
"Do you think you can survive?"
The rest of Ghastly Woods will not let you go!
"You will suffer endless revenge!"
You … "
But in the next moment, his shrill cries stopped abruptly.
This was because the black mist crow, which contained her last hope, had been burned into nothingness by the raging flames.
A scarlet shadow swept across the sky.
It did not care about the unusual creature it had just burned. With a flap of its wings, it landed on Kieran's shoulder like an eagle. With its sharp eyes, it stared at the Ghastly Woods Faction member who was emitting the same aura as the unusual creature, revealing a rather human-like look of disdain.
It seemed to be telling the other party —
The sky is my domain.
All living beings were forbidden to fly!
The screams stopped.
The screams were originally meant to numb Kieran and Mary, but after their last bit of hope was crushed, there was no need to pretend anymore.
The members of Ghastly Woods Faction sat up.
She looked at Kieran.
When the Fire Raven appeared, her attention was completely captured.
"Hahaha!"
"That's right!"
"I see!"
"Crow Sect!"
"Crown Raven!"
The Fire Raven laughed out loud, pointing at Kieran. His voice was getting softer and softer, his aura getting weaker and weaker. When the last bit of his life force was about to fade away, the Fire Raven said softly, "Don't think it's over when I die, this is just the beginning!"
The Fire Raven wanted to say something but ultimately lost the strength to do so, all he could do was open and close his mouth.
The Fire Raven, who shared the same thoughts as Kieran, spat out a mouthful of flames at the Fire Raven. When the orange glow appeared, the Fire Raven jumped over and grabbed the dropped items before flying up to the sky again.
Kieran checked the Fire Raven and made sure there was nothing noteworthy on the Fire Raven. He then turned to Mary and said, "Let's go! It will be much smoother from here on! "
Just like what Kieran said.
When the important figures of the southern reinforcement and the common soldiers came back to their senses from the devil's aura, everything became easy.
Their gazes at Mary were no longer doubtful and disdainful.
Because the person standing beside Mary had already made them understand what they should do.
"Your Highness."
Inside the southern reinforcement's tent, the lords all knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Amid the reverence, there was a sense of fear.
Some of them still hadn't come back to their senses.
One of them was the second son of the elderly duke.
He was in a trance.
The one who reacted the fastest was the eldest son of the elderly duke.
After bowing, the eldest son of the old duke spoke.
"Once again, thank you for coming, Your Highness.
Things happened too suddenly, we didn't even have the slightest sign before my father met with misfortune. My brother and I will bring his coffin back to Will Prefecture, back to our hometown and bury him according to our customs.
Please allow us to do so. "
The eldest son said in a clear and organized manner.
"Do you have any clues about the assassin?"
Mary didn't agree or disagree, she just diverted the topic.
"None.
But we, the Will Family, will catch the killer and avenge my father! "
The eldest son said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"Is that so?
Then can I see the elderly duke's body one last time?
As the heir of Warren, I should give my blessings to the Guardian of the South one last time. "
Mary said slowly.
But as he spoke, the six southern barons' expressions became strange.
As participants of the incident, they knew the elderly duke was faking his death.
And now, Mary wanted to see his body …
Was she going to expose herself?
The six barons looked at each other in confusion.
One of them clenched his teeth and wanted to say something.
After all, one dead was better than all of them dead.
Looking at Kieran beside Mary, the barons lost the will to resist, all they hoped for was forgiveness and pardon.
But just as the baron was about to say something, the eldest son of the old Duke nodded.
"Very well, please follow me.
My father's coffin is placed in the tent beside. "
The eldest son of the elderly duke then led the way.
Mary stood up and walked down from her seat.
Accompanied by Kieran and a group of important southerners with weird expressions, they walked into a tent beside the tent.
Then, they saw the elderly duke's body.
It was indeed a body.
Looking at the body, the important figures from the south looked even weirder but no one said anything, no one felt sad.
Even the eldest son of the elderly duke was no exception.
Only the second son of the elderly duke looked sorrowful.
He looked at his father who loved him dearly, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Then, he realized his father's body was bleeding.
