Chapter 191
Lady Scarlet soared through the night sky, spreading her bat wings. At first glance, the scene made one wonder if she herself was the true demon.
After watching her shadow vanish beyond the night sky of the Count’s domain, Dale promptly turned his head away.
Following the Shadow Lord’s command, the Grave Walker had already seized control of the entire Wallachia County. Therefore, Aurelia, hiding behind her, said to the terrified maid:
“It would be dangerous for her to accompany us any further. Let us entrust her to the court’s assassins or the mountain’s killers.”
Dale nodded at Aurelia’s words.
“As you wish, Lady Aurelia.”
It was a rare sight to see her speak of her own volition. Dale nodded, and just then, a dark elf waiting in the castle courtyard bowed his head.
“Please escort her safely to the court in Harlem City.”
“Your command.”
The assassin bowed his head, then gestured toward the terrified maid.
“There’s no need to worry. Until the situation is resolved, she will protect you.”
“T-thank you…! Lord Dale! A-and you too, knight!”
The maid bowed to both of them, while Lady Shadow remained silent beneath her black helmet.
“We merely did what had to be done.”
After the silence, she spoke.
“We cannot delay any longer.”
Dale spoke, and Salgum and Lady Shadow repositioned their swords.
Additionally, the Grave Walkers guarding the area knelt at the Shadow Lord’s command.
An intelligence unit directly under Dale, composed of high-ranking assassins of the Shadow Court and mountain assassins active throughout the empire.
