Chapter 9: Intruders
"What are you grin—" Even though Lukas wasn’t looking at him, his grin made Raymond uncomfortable, and he opened his mouth to scold him.
However, the sound of hurried footsteps followed by a panicked voice interrupted him.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
"Lord Viscount, some masked people have intruded into the mansion and have killed the guards who tried to—ahhhhhh!"
The knight was still speaking when he suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream. Lukas and the others, who had looked over, frowned in confusion, not understanding why he was suddenly screaming like a madman—but a moment later, they understood when...
Swoosh! Sizzle!
Blood-red flames suddenly erupted from his body and started burning him.
A grim look flashed in Raymond’s eyes when he saw the blood-red flames.
"Go to your mother." Raymond put Layla down and stood to his feet.
Swoosh! Fwoosh!
Suddenly, his clothes and shoulder-length black hair started flapping even in the absence of fast winds, and he raised his hand, pointing it toward the burning knight.
