The sly looking noble just had a look of shock and disbelief on his face as he was surrounded in flames.
Even in his final moments, he just couldn't believe that this was how he went out.
But there was no escape when his entire manor was being engulfed in flames like this.
Though he could use his barrier, it wasn't as if that barrier would protect him forever. Especially with the weak amount of mana that he had supporting that barrier in the first place.
"I curse you." That was the last thing that the sly looking noble could say as he looked at me and Ann.
However, I didn't feel a single thing from his words.
I just turned to Ann and said, "Well, it's time to finish this show."
She gave a simple nod in response.
…
"Why is it on fire?"
"Go and save him!"
"If anything happens to his majesty, then we're all dead!"
That was the response of the people outside the manor.
There were the spies that had been posted there by the different nobles, but the moment that they saw the manor catch on fire, they no longer remained in hiding. The moment that they saw the manor on fire, they started to panic and called for help.
Even though this was the manor of the sly looking noble, the one that everyone hated, they still had to call for help.
That was because the king of the Kite Kingdom was still in that manor.
The king of the Kite Kingdom was their liege now, so they had to make sure that he was alright. Or else there was no doubt that the wyverns that had come with him would burn the entire Lockhart Kingdom down with him.
So it didn't take long for bucket chains and magicians with water magic to be called.
Even wyverns were brought in to slash at the manor to create holes in an attempt to find him.
During this, the king of the Lockhart Kingdom had a grim look on his face as he faced the deathly serious look that was on Klein's face.
He really didn't have anything that he could say, he could only pray that Zwein was alright.
After all, the fate of his kingdom depended on if he was alright.
While everyone was still working to put out the fire and trying to rescue Zwein, there was a large explosion that suddenly came from the manor. There was a large part of the manor that was destroyed because of that one explosion.
Then through that hole, there were two figures that jumped out.
One was covered in dirt while the other was covered in flames.
When the two of them jumped out from the burning manor, the dirt and the flames covering them suddenly fell from around them. After the dirt and the flames fell, their true appearances were revealed.
The one that had been covered in dirt was revealed to be Zwein.
And the one that was covered in flames was revealed to be Ann.
The way that they were facing each other was as if they had been fighting with each other.
Once they came back to their senses, Klein and the other royal guards didn't hesitate to push their wyverns forward to surround Ann.
The moment that Ann saw that she was surrounded by these wyverns, she suddenly released her flames even more. It seemed like she was planning on going all out with the way that she released her flames.
It was just that the flames of the wyverns were just too strong for Ann to resist.
The flames completely surrounded her and she wasn't able to do a single thing while being surrounded in these flames.
Zwein took this moment to raise the staff that was in his hand and there were tendrils of earth that came out of the ground. These tendrils of earth went towards Ann without any hesitation and completely surrounded her before grabbing her body.
They completely bounded her, so that she wasn't able to do a single thing.
It seemed like it was even hard for her to move a finger with the way that she was grabbed.
But even then, it didn't seem like Zwein and the others let down their guards.
After a long silence, that was when the king of the Lockhart Kingdom slowly came over to say, "Your majesty, what happened inside?"
I turned to look at him before saying, "It's a case of domestic violence?"
"Domestic violence?" The king of the Lockhart Kingdom said with a confused look on his face.
With a slow nod, I said, "You've already seen how that man treats his wife, do you think that it's strange that it would result in domestic violence?"
There was a bitter smile that appeared on the face of the king of the Lockhart Kingdom.
The look on his face made it clear that he really couldn't refute this.
However, there was something that he still had to ask.
"Your majesty, how did you get caught up in their domestic violence in the end?" There was another trace of bitterness in his voice when he said this.
I couldn't help feeling a bit put off hearing him say this since he said it in a way that a wife that was neglected by her husband would put it…
It really sent chills down my spine seeing this middle aged man acting this way…
But I suppressed those chills before saying with a bitter smile of my own, "She killed her husband, does your majesty think that she would be able to get away with that easily? It's natural that she would want to silence everyone that saw what happened."
A smile slowly appeared on his lips before he nodded in agreement, but then he knitted his brows to say, "What do we do about her now?"
I just said in a serious voice, "Since she wanted to kill me, naturally I will take her back to the Kite Kingdom to try her."
The king of the Lockhart Kingdom seemed to hesitate a bit, but under my serious gaze, he had no choice but to agree in the end.
