Retaliation of Disabled Girls
Chapter 21 Plans to Capture the Witch Killer

I thought my meeting with Keith was just the two of you. There were uninvited guests coming to my residence. I didn't expect him to be here so soon. The blonde girl sat between us.

I try to hold back my frustration. Although my eyes twitched many times. Keith also looked awkward, he was confused between talking about work or chatting normally.

"I'm sorry. I thought you guys were just chatting normally so I came along. Turns out you're talking about the murder case."

It's a declaration of war from Stella. Stella wanted to disturb us, because she was forbidden for Keith to come to her residence. This blonde girl can't be alone with Keith, so she came here to retaliate so I can't be alone with Keith.

If he already knew we were discussing work, he should just go back to his residence. However, he had instead intentionally remained seated here. This is really shitty.

"Then just go home," I'm kicked out.

Keith who had originally written something immediately looked at me. My actions are rude, but I don't want him to slow down our performance. The sooner you catch the killer the better.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do it, Diana. Maybe by listening to your talk I can help. In addition I can pass on information from you to my father" Stella replied with a smile.

It was just his reason for staying here, ruining my time with Keith. Keith was silent, trusting Stella's words. This is pissing me off.

"Just do as you please, Stella." I looked at Stella sharply.

Stella replied to me similarly. "All right, Diana."

Keith looked at me and Stella alternated. He breathed to continue his work.

"Who do you think Keith's next target is?" my many.

"The third daughter of the Xavier family, the second son of the York family, the first daughter of the Zeon family. They're all people who are excluded from the family, because their magic power is not too great, Diana," Keith explained.

If Trevor let me stay in this house, he could be a good bait. However, I would not feel at home seeing his face every day. I don't regret kicking him out of here.

"The third daughter of the Xavier family, we met her at that meeting, didn't we, Keith?" sela Stella's.

"Eh, yeah right, Stella." Keith didn't expect Stella to be in our conversation.

"I remember the Third Princess of the Xavier family being sickly. He coughed at the time" Stella said.

I recorded Stella's words. The information is quite useful as well. I thought he was just gonna mess up here.

"It is true that the Second Son of the York Family came from a mixture of nobility and common people" Keith said.

Other terms bastard. The magic power of nobles is stronger compared to ordinary people. Since the second son was a mix, it could be said that he was stronger than ordinary people but weaker than other nobles. I'm recording this important information.

"I heard that the First Daughter of the Zeon Family was ostracized because she wasn't the original descendant of the family was she? He's adopted." I'm making a sound.

The Zeon family owes a debt of gratitude to the common people for once saving the life of the Head of the Zeon Family. However, the commoner died at a young age dying at a young age. The Zeon family adopted their baby to return the favor. The Zeon family hid this fact. However, the truth about the First Princess' identity was revealed. The other children excommunicate him.

"We played with the First Daughter of the Zeon Family as a child, didn't we, Keith?" stella said suddenly.

I think I know what Stella's purpose is. He wanted to be closer to Keith. Telling the past of the two of them to me to make me feel excluded.

"That's right, Stella," Keith replied. 

"We used to be very close, but now he's become a sullen person because he knows his identity." Stella glanced at me, then continued, "It's been a long time since we've been to her residence. How about we go there, Keith?"

You think you've won, Stella? I'm not that easy to beat.

"If you want to talk about old memories, better later. Let's just focus on this murder case" I said.

"I'm sorry I'm so excited, Diana." There was no sincerity in his apology.

"So who among them is most likely to be kidnapped, Keith?" I looked at Keith.

"They're all easy targets. I don't know which target exactly. My advice is that we tighten the security of their families. It's good that we stand guard at their residence, then let each other know if there is a kidnapping," Keith said.

"Good idea, Keith," I said.

Keith's experience and knowledge as the head of the family is better than mine. I have to learn more to be able to compete with him.

"Have your conversation finished? Can we change the topic?" ask Stella.

"We're not done yet, Stella. If you feel bored, you can wait outside. I'll tell you the results of our meeting so you can pass it on to your father. There's something I want to talk to Diana both about" Keith said.

Stella and I stared at Keith. I can't believe Keith could say that. It seems like she's annoyed by Stella. 

"I'm sorry. I'll wait outside." Stella obeys Keith. I think Stella got hit because of Keith's totally unexpected behavior. The sound of the door opening and closing was heard.

Keith continued, "I will stand guard at Xavier's House, while you are at York House and Mr. Frostein at Zeon's residence. If the killer comes, we'll tell each other through the magic stone. Call and pick me up, when the killer comes to the York residence. Then come to Xavier's residence when I tell you. The distance of their residence from each other was very far, Diana. When using a horse-drawn carriage or flying, the killer would escape. Is it okay if we use your teleportation magic, Diana?"

So that's why Keith kicked Stella out. She doesn't want Stella to hear my unique magic. 

"Of course, it's okay. Most importantly we can catch the killer. What if the killer comes to the Zeon residence, should I pick you up and teleport to it?" I replied.

"Actually Zeon's residence is just a diversion. I don't think the killer will target ordinary folk's children."

"So from the beginning you lied, Stella?"

Keith smiled without answering. He pretended to include the Frostein Family in his plan.

"Our plan doesn't need to be reported to the King, does it?" Keith switched the conversation.

"I don't think it's necessary, Keith. It will bother if our assumptions are wrong. We're gonna tell Eric when it turns out our guesses are right. If we manage to subdue the killer it gets even better. Eric will definitely thank us."

I don't know why Keith's face looked weird when I said the last sentence. His dislike for Eric grew even greater.

"Well, I told Stella, certainly without your teleportation magic. See you, Diana."

"See you, Keith. Let me get to the front."

Keith nodded with a smile. My real reason was to keep an eye on Stella not to mess with Keith.

Keith relayed the information to Stella who was waiting in front of the living room. Stella hears it intently while stealing the chance to touch Keith's hand. Keith brushed off Stella's hand without trying to hurt her. Even so, Stella was aware of Keith's cold attitude towards her. He looks moody.

I just watched this happen without doing anything. I think Keith's getting over his feelings for Stella. With this, my plan of revenge will get smoother. Just to make Keith really fall in love with me.
