CH 144

He confessed that he had killed people but spoke as if it was a joke, which infuriated me. He murdered innocent people, and now he was going after my cousins!

“I’ll kill you!”

The man began laughing at Lumi’s threat. “You think you can do that? Nah. You were barely catching up to me earlier. Where are you getting that confidence from? You barely managed to fight before that man came to help.”

It was Jianne, however, who answered sarcastically at the man’s words. “That wasn’t her skills but mine.”

The man became confused and asked, “What are you talking about? You said I fought with her, no? Are you dumb?”

At that moment, Lumi pulled out the sword she had brought. Jianne smiled victoriously as he answered, “You’re the dumb one. My sister is so smart that…”

At the same moment Jianne spoke, Lumi kicked the ground to jump. “She strictly fights with my skills when she disguises herself as me.”

“Wait- this isn’t fair!”

But before he could even fish, the sword swung at him. With the sound of wind slashing through, it immediately struck the man’s neck. But…

“Whoa… That’s something. I would’ve lost my head if I was slower.” The man was already behind Lumi. “Yeah, you’re different from before. It’s really a shame that I have to kill you now.”

A weird light glowed from the man’s ordinary eyes. It was a strange color that had a faint hint of purple. The moment I saw it, an unusual sense of fear struck my head. What is that? But strangely, I felt like it wasn’t the first time that I felt this fear. While I was thinking, that’s when-

“Who said you could kill me? You shouldn’t mistake my skills with just a test to see what kind of a man you are to have such weird thoughts.”

Lumi’s sword was held up, and it had…

“You… That’s…!”

But the man’s head was cut off immediately before he could even finish. This time, it was real.

“It’s never a good idea to relax until you actually win. You never know until it’s game over,” commented Lumi. The sight of her blade blazing up with a red flame was fantastic.

“Lady Illumina?”

The injured knight stared at his master’s only daughter with a look of shock. All the knights and enemies stopped fighting and looked at Lumi with astonishment. Then one of them shouted the words that described Lumi’s powers.

“S-Sword Master?”

Lumi’s perfectly pretty face wore an arrogant smile at those words. Only then, did I realize who the genius Uncle mentioned was. I shouted, “Lumi, so you’re the genius swordsman that uncle told me about!”

Lumi slowly nodded as she turned to me. She had a sigh of relief that could only be acquired after revealing the old secret. That’s when one of the enemies shouted.

“Kill yourselves! We cannot risk the leak of our secrets!”

The enemies immediately began killing themselves as they realized they couldn’t fight Lumi. It happened so fast that every one of us became infuriated by what had happened.

“Dammit! Search their bodies to see if there are any clues. Also, take good care of our people who have fallen today.”

The servants began cleaning up the bodies at Lumi’s orders.

‘Why did they go so far to kill themselves? If it were me, I would have just told what I knew.’ I thought as I couldn’t understand their actions. Then I was disgusted by the devastating sight of bodies being taken care of and threw up.

“Milady, please clean yourself with this.”
