Chapter 136: Chapter 23: The Beginning Of The End

Lancelot and the girls were taken to the academy by Sebastian, who didn't bother to question why he was once again coming to school with the other two three girls, leaving their poor maids to follow behind in irritation as once again their mistresses didn't come home and stayed out.

Sumika's house was a little strange—if her mother was the one who contacted her, it seemed fine that she was staying out at Lancelot's apartment.

However, her grandfather, the former swordmaster...

He would threaten to go there and beat Lancelot's ass and make sure he could never touch his cute granddaughter, but moments later, his wife would take the phone, and the sound of someone being beaten would commence.

It was a strange house indeed.

The biggest issue was the princess... When her mother called to find out the truth, she would quietly put down the phone, but the next day, a huge box of XL condoms would be delivered along with the usual gifts and tea.

For the maids sorting through her packages, it was embarrassing and frustrating as they were not permitted to have lovers while serving someone as a private maid.

Because Morgana insisted on riding in her human form, wearing a fake uniform on her body as she sat with Guinevere and Sumika in the back, Sebastian was forced to accept that Lancelot, his master, would sit beside him, even if it meant he failed as a butler.

"Sebastian, how is your cute granddaughter?"

Lancelot was letting the girls chat amongst themselves, and he remembered this butler and his cute granddaughter, who had blue hair cut like a little mushroom. He also felt thankful that Sebastian did not mention his two black horns, only a glance when he greeted him, and that was it.

"Oh? Lord Lancelot remembered my cute Sofia?" Sebastian sounded surprised as he recalled Sofia happily running around back home. "Recently, I got a call from her saying that she found a boyfriend at kindergarten."

"Ahaha, kindergarten, eh~ I can see that cute girl finding one easily."

Lancelot's joke made Sebastian's hands gripping the wheel tighten as he seemed to be the possessive type, looking annoyed at the thought his young granddaughter was dating boys already.

"That girl... she doesn't understand that boys are wolves!"

Sebastian mumbled under his breath, trying to keep Lancelot entertained as Sumika looked outside the car window absentmindedly until something suddenly caught her attention.

"Mr. Butler."

A voice spoke up quietly; her head still turned to the outside as everyone inside the car heard her.

There was a woman... No, it was something flying beside the car... A monster with sharp scythes on her arms and a bee-like wing on her back.

"Is this the car of Lancelot du Lac?"

The monster asked calmly, though Sebastian looked shocked and confused. "What the!? What's this thing doing here!?"

His reaction showed that he didn't sense the monster following them; only Sumika saw her and watched her actions carefully as Morgana narrowed her eyes as well.

Seeing his butler panicking, Lancelot realized there must be trouble.

"Sebastian."

As Lancelot softly patted his shoulder, both Sumika and Morgana leaned forward as they watched the woman jump into the air towards the car roof before they all felt an explosion shaking the vehicle, causing it to tilt dangerously!

The car jeered off the floor as the sound of gunfire followed—the maids behind began shooting at the strange insectoid monster attacking the sports car while Lancelot's divine eyes struggled to see anything due to the lower mana in the Empire and lower world.

In such conditions, Lancelot's power wasn't full; Sumika held onto Morgana while Sebastian used his driving skills and earth magic to fuse the wheels and car to try to keep the car upright.

The maids shooting at the attacker noticed she ignored them as she wanted to reach the target, Lancelot. Her scythe blades managed to penetrate the bulletproof windows, cutting his seat and slicing apart metal and leather as the monster tried to kill the target—Lancelot.

"I'm going to fight; stay in the car, all three of you."

Lancelot's words were both deep, commanding and slightly distorted as he jumped from the car, feeling the huge amount of force and air resistance before his black and white feathered wings unfurled from his back in a glorious and captivating scene.

Everyone inside or outside the car was stunned at the angelic sight as Lancelot stood in the air for a second, his body floating before his sword appeared in his hand—a dark greatsword with a dragon on the hilt, his dragonslayer greatsword.

"Oi, bug. Stop attacking the car. I'm your enemy."

Bzzzt!

"..."

Ignoring Lancelot's demand, the monster buzzed angrily and rushed straight at him, using her scythes to slash upwards, hoping to take out this arrogant man who dared to face her.

"No grace..." He murmured before gracefully using his wings to twist his body, dodging the first blade, while the second passed just along his cheek, grazing his skin but cutting his silver locks, making Lancelot narrow his eyes, displeased at losing his perfect haircut.

Using his free right hand, Lancelot grabbed the bee monster's wrist and pulled her towards him while turning and using his strength to kick her in the stomach, the force causing her to vomit both blood and the flesh of her destroyed organs—it didn't kill her but was enough to make her eyes widen as she tried to stab him with the silver stinger on her ass.

But Lancelot just smirked, blocking the stinger with his hilt as a loud clang sounded with beautiful sparks flickering past his face, blinding the monster so Lancelot's left fist flew and slammed into her cheek with explosive force, sending her crashing onto the road with a loud boom, creating a crater where she landed.

With another flap of his wings, Lancelot darted forward with a bang, the sound so violent it was like a roar on the wind, his sword pointing forward like a deadly spear ready to pierce his prey—he stabbed her chest, piercing her heart and pinning her body on the cracked ground!

"Why do bugs always annoy me...?" Lancelot whispered while watching the monster gasp painfully, her body twitching violently before the life faded from her eyes as he released a sigh.

Blood spilt from her open mouth as Lancelot ripped his blade free before walking back to the car, which stopped as Sebastian, Sumika and Morgana all stepped out cautiously—they felt shaken seeing Lancelot's brutal killing skill as he killed effortlessly, like swatting a fly.

"Why didn't you ask who she was?" Morgana asked with a knowing smile, seeing the strange light in his golden eye.

"I don't care... She attacked me and mine; therefore, death is the reward." Lancelot declared as Sumika hugged his waist, and he stroked her black hair while Sebastian gulped nervously—this lord was scary... and exciting!

"Sebastian, you may head home if you desire. I can ask Merlin for another butler. You have Sofia to think about... This is likely to continue for a long time."

"I seem to have made several enemies with my actions..."

Lancelot chuckled self-deprecatingly at his own mistakes as Sebastian shook his head firmly.

"No... Sofia often asks when I am going to work and when Grandfather will leave to serve his lord again... Sofia knows I serve a great master and... It's an honour to serve you, my lord." Sebastian proclaimed proudly as Sumika smiled, and Morgana nodded while Lancelot scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"Should I help you deal with that boy then?"

"W-what!? How!?"

"If she sees my face, do you think those boys could ever entire her eyes?" Lancelot teased, and Sebastian fell to his knees, realizing the horror that could await in the future if when she grew up and wanted to marry this man who had at least four women...

"My lord... please, spare Sofia..." Sebastian begged comically as Lancelot and Sumika burst out laughing—though Morgana was confused at what happened to make the butler kneel!

"Okay, let's get in the car and get moving. If this continues, we will need Merlin or Gawain to appear to stop this happening again..." Lancelot suggested, helping Sebastian back to his feet.

But his butler looked confused again as Morgana finally understood the enemy was someone in the academy and was as high as the vice-principal or principal... seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meaning it was likely Gawain himself. As Lancelot helped Sumika in before getting in himself. Sebastian drove them all towards school while thinking of ways to save his cute granddaughter's innocence from Lancelot...

Honestly... Lancelot somehow found this new dynamic with his butler enjoyable, and he wanted to meet the little demon princess, who would one day become an extremely powerful Lady.

Not to do anything, but I want to support her and help this old man feel at ease. He never once betrayed me about the things I do in secret or the girls I've been seeing.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in the Empire City, Gawain sat silently reading reports and documents that arrived about the recent events, frowning deeply as everything went wrong so quickly.

"The useless slut and her trash commander failed..."

He reached for his phone before dialling a number that answered on the first ring.

"Kill her."

Gawain ordered coldly before ending the call, leaving his office and disappearing from the city with a bang...

His destination was unknown, but those close enough to know him knew he was headed to meet someone in secret and that someone might just vanish from the glorious capital in the near future...
