Chapter 163: The Witch and The Contract of Magic (5)
Neither Adelaide nor the girl at whom the sword was pointed could move, both frozen in bewilderment.
Adelaide was confused by the scene so different from her expectations, and the girl seemed unable to properly understand the situation she was in.
So, it was the third parties around who broke the silence.
“Kyaaaah!”
“W-what, who is it!?”
“Guard! Mr. Guard!!”
To be honest, their actions could hardly be called wise.
If they unnecessarily provoked the intruder with loud noises, and the excited criminal swung the sword wrongly, the girl in front would suffer a terrible fate.
However, Adelaide was an exception.
She, who had merely knocked out even the guards who might have been accomplices of the criminal, couldn’t possibly swing her sword at innocent civilians.
This isn’t the place, I need to look somewhere else!
Adelaide quickly withdrew her sword and, leaving the confused girls behind, swiftly climbed the next set of stairs.
