Edward opened the door and saw Nina coming alone.
“They've come?” ask Edward to Nina.
Nina nodded her assent, “Iya their Master has come they are still on their way here, as you have predicted now Troy is watching them and Adam is giving interaction to the child who eavesdropped on our conversation.” Nina recounts the entire incident that is now taking place with Edward.
“ Well good work, go back to your place of care I will tell Leathina first to ask for her help so that they do not realize that we have known their plan.” Edward told Nina.
Nina nodded again and then immediately did what Edward said.
“What happened?” leathina asked when she saw Edward coming back and listened to the conversation between Edward and Nina just now.
“Leathina as we talked about earlier that people are now very obsessed with finding you after knowing your ability, he said, and now that someone's come looking for you I don't know where they got the news about your whereabouts but they don't seem to be from your family or from the kingdom.” Obviously Edward told Leathina.
“So you mean now I'm in danger?” ask Leathina who is beginning to understand their current situation.
Edward nodded in agreement then sat down beside Leathina.
“So what's your plan? I'm sure you didn't come unprepared after knowing that now someone's coming to look for me?” leathina asked and looked at him Edward who was now sitting next to her.
“The owner of this inn is cooperating with them because he wants a gift on offer, you should know that Duke Leonard Yarnell, your father turned out to be a little crazy he offered a high price just to exchange information that is not necessarily clarity and truth.”
Leathina listened to Edward quietly then just smiled knotingly hearing how frustrated her father was now in the kingdom because he had not yet returned.
“Because of that gift these people were able to get the information young and the innkeeper saw you and reported to them then now he came to check if the information the innkeeper gave true or false.”
“what time is it now?” leathina asked, interrupting Edward's words.
“Now midnight, soon may be morning and the safest time for them to move, they must think that we are all asleep but rest assured Adam, Nina and Troy will do their job well.”
“Why don't we just go before they come?” ask Leathina.
“I also want to do that because I don't want you to get into a fight later but I have to know where they come from, what their purpose is to look for you and who they work for.” Answer Edward. “So Leathina for now you have to pretend unconsciousness if they get in here at that time we will ambush her and interrogate them, just relax I make sure you will be safe.”
“Alright I understand, but Edward.”
“What's up?” ask Edward.
“Can you give me some kind of weapon to protect myself? no one knows what will happen later.”
Edward nodded in understanding then reached out to look for something behind his clothes and a few moments later Edward pulled out a dagger and then directly given it to Leathina. “Use this.” He said while handing over his dagger, “Actually I don't want you to fight but what you say I can't do is right you said no one knows what will happen later, no one knows what will happen, alright Leathina then I will also leave now.” Said Edward then taking a position so as not to be seen in the room. “Cautious.” His speech before completely disappearing from in front of Leathina.
The room Leathina occupied instantly became silent she could even hear the roar of her own breath. Moments later faintly heard the sound of footsteps of some people who were getting closer, and, Leathina immediately turned off all light sources she deliberately did to prevent the free movement of people who would come to visit her and help Edward so that his existence is not known.
After turning off all the light sources quickly Leathina went up to the top of the bed storing her dagger in her pillow so that she could easily reach if trapped in danger then tidying up the blanket to cover her body to the limit of her chest and lastly, closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, as Edward had asked.
“Trak!” there was a creaking sound of the door of the room Leathina was occupying now opening slowly.
A child peeked in for a while making sure no one was inside after it instantly opened the door wide. “This is the room sir.” Politely said.
“Is there someone accompanying him inside?” whispered the owner of the room at his job.
Ban looked back inside examining the entire corner of the room with his eyes but found no one inside except the shadow of a woman lying quietly on the bed. “It looks like no master, maybe his friends are out because the room is very dark.” Said Ban telling the innkeeper.
“Really?” ask her once again with a big smile on her face. “It so happens,” murmured he felt very lucky.
“Well gentlemen please come in, it looks like the woman you are looking for is inside and rest easy she is now asleep so will not be aware if you enter.” Said the innkeeper happily letting two people in black robes.
Without lingering two people who came with the owner of the room and the tire went straight inside then turned on the fire batter to see in the darkness and slowly approached Leathina.
But a few moments later the fire batter they used as a light source died because the wind was strong enough to make it difficult to turn the batter back on.
“Gosh the candle is dead.” Murmured the owner of the room. “Hei! Quickly light the candle.” His whisper to Ban who was still trailing him from behind while he himself headed straight for the wide open window likely closing it.
“Ba-good sir.” Said Ban then rushed out to pick up the fire.
“Duh. Who opens the window of his room this night, I will close.” Said the innkeeper mince words to the two guests. “Take it easy sir, my men will come soon to bring fire and turn on the candles.” The connection again while grinning trying to make the source of money guests feel comfortable.
A few minutes later Ban still did not come while the innkeeper and two guests were restless waiting in the dark.
“What kid hasn't arrived yet?” ask one of the two guests of the innkeeper who came to see Leathina.
“After he will come sir.” The innkeeper was nervous.
A few minutes later Ban still did not come to make the inn owner became upset and grumbled. “That kid why so long anyway!” he said he was upset because of the long wait while Ban did not come. “I will go to call him master please wait a minute longer.” His words then moved away fumbling for fear of getting hit while walking in the dark.
“Akh! Why the lights in the hallway also turn off anyway.” His grunts grew irritated when he managed to get out but all the candles outside were also extinguished.
“Master, where are you going?” suddenly the sound of Ban from the darkness made the innkeeper happy to return because he no longer bothered to look for him in the dark.
“You go anywhere, they've been waiting for.” His words vented his frustration.
“I'm sorry sir, the fire in the furnace is dead so I have to find the fire batter first at the back.” Answer Tyre.
“Well quickly turn on the batter and show the way back inside, my eyes ache to see in the darkness.” Gerrutu the innkeeper.
“Master what if the flamethrower dies if it continues to be lit because the contents run out, I will light it inside later in order to light the candle for now let me just lead you inside, relax you won't get hit by me poultice all the way in this inn.”
“Iya, yes, it's up to you! But you have to hurry later they are angry and do not want to pay for the information I sold to them.”
Ban then grabbed the hand of the owner of the room and led him back to the room they were referring to.
“It's up to mister.”
“Shelf!”
Tyre muttered and instantly closed the door back after they went inside.
“You've arrived?” greet the one who came with them.
“Quick turn on the candle, we need to return immediately after confirm it ourselves.” The other one was impatient from the rush.
After the door was closed there were footsteps stepping slowly and then there were sparks when the tinkerer ignited and then brought it closer to the candle, after that walk to another candle holder until the entire room has now been illuminated.
While the two men no longer cared about the surroundings as they had received enough lighting to check their targets, the two then immediately walked to the bed.
“He you guys looking for?” asking someone suddenly made the two of them startled and reflexively attacked.
“I'm the one you asked to light the candle that went out.” He answered, pointing out the fire batter he had used.
“Where is the owner of the inn? Why are you here?” tanyanya again felt anxious with the big man in front of her.
...
“Ban quickly light the candle!” pinta the innkeeper was impatient.
There was no reply from the person who was told to just the sound of heavy footsteps coming closer towards him.
“Ban?” call again.
The innkeeper felt that the one in the room with him was not Ban, because he heard his heavy steps. Tires that have a thin body and shoes that are always used Ban is unlikely to cause a sound as big as he hears now because the soles of his shoes have been damaged.
“Who are you?!” ask the innkeeper who had now become very vigilant.
“Oh! You're not as stupid as I thought ya.”
“Akh! Why are you here, where's Ban?” the innkeeper was surprised when a candle was lit and showed the silhouette of Adam who was now with him.
“Ban?” asked Adam who repeated his question to the innkeeper.
“Iya where is the boy?” ask the innkeeper again for emotion. “So I heard his voice why suddenly even you are here!”
“So I don't know.” Adam answered with a shrug of his shoulders, stupid with the emotion of the innkeeper who seemed to be about to explode because he felt lied to by his own work.
“You must be lying, quickly tell me where the child is?” shouted the innkeeper really angry. “if you do not want to tell him then I will look for him myself.” He then tried to get out of the room.
“Shelf!”
“Akh!”
When the owner of the room tried to get outside Adam confronted him then pushed him hard to the back to hit some furniture.
“Ah! sorry, I was not accidentally.” Adam said after deliberately pushing him. “This must be because the room is still dark so I accidentally bumped into you.” The connection again then immediately went around lighting each candle holder in the room until no longer a silhouette that can be seen now the two can see each other clearly.
“You are crazy ya!” exclaim the innkeeper while struggling to stand back, “Let me out I sbuk.” He then tried to get out.
“Shelf!”
Adam pushed him back to fall.
“Master unfortunately you are dealing with the wrong person.” Adam's whisper then took a rope and began to tie the innkeeper's hands and feet.
“Hei! oi! what are you doing, let go!” his cry revolted but was not strong enough to escape Adam who had fully bound both his legs and hands.
“Ah! You are now like a bolted pig ready to roast.” Adam was satisfied with his work.
“Why are you doing this? I never did anything wrong with you. Release jerk!” Said the innkeeper still trying to rebel to escape.
“You don't think I know that you're selling information about my sister-in-law.” Adam replied, not satisfied he tied his hands and feet, adam now also clog his mouth so that he can no longer make a scene.
“Huppt! Amppt!” the innkeeper screamed for help.
“Don't be too busy asking for help because no one will be able to help you right now,” Adam said and then watched the innkeeper for a moment who was just screaming trying to escape.
“If you need a reason why you are treated like this then I will tell you gladly, first you do not maintain the privacy of your tenants just this time I came to the inn but the table of visitor information service in your inn is bad I do not like the second can-can be shaped like you insult my body shape. I guess there's enough, I'll take care of you later.” Adam then hit the back of the innkeeper's neck until he fainted.
With a hasty step Adam left the innkeeper after locking it from the outside then went to Leathina's room following Nina and Troy who had left first.
“Trak!”
Adam opened the door and saw that two robed men had been tied up and were lying on the floor.
“Ah! Already cleared yes, I seem a bit late.” He muttered and joined Edward, and his other two friends.
...
After the door was closed, footsteps slowly stepped out and then sparks were seen when the fire was lit and then brought it closer to the candle, after that walk to another candle holder until the entire room has now been illuminated.
While the two people no longer cared about the surroundings as they had received enough lighting to check their targets, the two then immediately walked closer to the bed.
“He you guys looking for?” asking someone suddenly made the two of them startled and reflexively attacked.
“Who are you?” he asked when he saw not the inn owner who came to light a candle or the child who worked at the inn, the one who came was an adult male with a large body of men now blocked the two who wanted to see Leathina.
“I'm the one you asked to light the candle that went out.” He answered, pointing out the fire batter he had used.
“Where is the owner of the inn? Why are you here?” tanyanya again felt anxious with the big man in front of her.
“Why am I here?” Troy repeated his question. “Of course to catch you.” The answer then directly hit one of them until it bounced backwards.
Seeing his friend being attacked made his partner angry and attacked Troy again.
“Akh!” suddenly Nina appears to lock her movements and then slam her to fall back on her back with her friend.
Seeing the two still cowering in pain Troy no longer wasted time and immediately tied them together.
“Release!” they both rebelled but Troy's grip was unable to escape, but still chose to break away when Troy finished tying the rope to both of them and tied them together.
The curious Leathina was about to wake up but Nina intercepted her asking Leathina to keep pretending to sleep again. “Why?” leathina whispered to Nina who was now busy covering her entire body.
“It would be better if they still guessed whether you really were the real Miss Leathina or not, and they know that you are sick it would be beneficial for us if they keep thinking that way because it means they will underestimate us if traveling with a dying person.” Nina's whisper told Nina.
“But I'm also curious and what if I really die later, Nina?” muttered Leathina but still complied with Nina.
“I'm sorry Miss Leathina, hang on any minute.” Nina's whisper then stood guard near Leathina worried that there would suddenly be another attack coming and again targeting Leathina.
