[R18] King's Domination

Chapter 245: Night Visit

Sure enough, outside the walls, a crowd of people had gathered on the road right in front of us—close enough that I could feel it. In the middle of a noble district at midnight? This wasn’t a normal place. Diplomatic residences, ambassadors, nobles... normal people didn’t hang out here at night. Even if it wasn’t a crime to gather three or more people, these guys were clearly up to something. They were peering over the wall, trying to see inside the embassy.

Are they going to break in?

"Probably," Rudolf answered. "They wouldn’t be standing there otherwise. This is the edge of the noble quarter—barely any night patrols, thin security. Thieves can do whatever they want."

Why the hell is the embassy placed here anyway? I wondered, but that was Mainz Kingdom’s decision. I didn’t complain.

"But our poor little embassy... why would they attack us?"

"That’s something you’d have to ask them."

Before I could answer, Lily walked in. She wasn’t in pajamas or her maid clothes tonight—she was wearing the same outfit she’d worn when we passed near the Marie Kingdom border.

"Robbie, what are you going to do?" she asked.

"Definitely counter-attack. Shoot arrows over the wall. Lily, take out the bow and arrows."

Lily pulled them from her mana bag. Even Rudolf, who’d seen it before, didn’t look surprised.

"These are Marie Kingdom arrows?"

I asked.

"No, I bought them here. If they’re Marie Kingdom arrows, who knows what kind of trouble they’ll get blamed for later."

Good girl, Lily.

"Sounds good."

While we talked, Rudolf asked:

"Lord Robin, are you going to fight too? With bow and arrows?"

He sounded surprised.

"Yeah. Even though I look weak, I’m actually pretty strong with a sword. But I don’t want Rudolf worrying, so tonight we’ll use bows and arrows. Honestly I’m better with a sword. What about you, Rudolf? No weapons? Are you going to fight with your bare hands?"

He held up a fist. Between the knuckles was a glint of metal.
