The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
Entrapment

2 Days later.

Leo was currently dressed so neatly, as well as putting on such an elegant face that his appearance almost made the three Leo slaves blush. On the other hand, Iris, as well as Melina, she also dressed up a little neatly because their job was to accompany Leo to see Duke Luther.

On the other hand, Hime sighed. She also wears an elegant green outfit that is her favorite color. He was already preparing to head towards the eastern viscount of the Little Pear city region with a bit of excitement. Because these invitations are private and are not allowed to bring people.

What made him happy, through the Eastern viscount he also headed towards the city of Floppa. Alias the city where he lived. No, obviously he didn't want to meet that damn old man, aka he wanted to be with his master whom he had already confirmed several times.

“Hime, take good care of yourself ok? If there is a problem, run as hard as you can. Besides ....” Leo took out a purple stone, which was a gift from Tristan. Which teleportation stone, if there really was a problem or Leo was a little uncomfortable, he could teleport to Hime.

Merely, he had no intention of teleporting to Hime. Except ...”If there is such a big problem, use this artifact to teleport to me.” His word.

Hime nodded and smiled as he received the stone. He then put it in his little bag.

“You are also careful sir. Iris, Melina, take care of the master!” Strictly Hime with such a serious face.

“Ah very sorry, you were not invited.” Melina shut her mouth. Because all this time he was a little irritated when wherever Leo went, Hime always followed him. Not really, Melina herself is a little isolated here. How not? when Leo came out suddenly, Leo only allowed Iris.

Leo actually has no favoritism. Is clear! If the streets, he actually invited Hime, if he used Shadow Hunter, he was with Iris. While in the mansion, he was more inclined or close to Melina. Although for Leo, Melina is still insolent by offering something that makes Leo leave. Or what happened .. he will be tempted.

Hime smiled wryly. But right then, Leo's face was so serious as he looked at Melina. Melina just fell silent. And turn his face away.

“Already, the chariots of the two nobles have arrived. Let's hurry.” Leo said to them all.

Right now, Shin, Yuuki and also Araka, they were walking behind Leo. Their only real task is to follow Hime in silence, so they will protect Hime at all costs.

At the gate of Grief Haven village, some villagers, even Elric himself were gathered at that point. Seeing the leader of their village about to go to Duke Luther. For them, it was such a happy honor, they were really proud. After all, when else would a village be glimpsed by the Duke?

“Master Hang!”

Leo looked at Hang who was Hime's introduction very seriously. This time Leo's gaze was unusual, there was even a speck of threat that made Hang himself so goosebumps looking at him.

“If there is a problem from my alchemist, I will flatten the eastern viscount just as someone destroyed the southern viscount. This is not kidding.” Leo's whisper to Hang. So that their conversation absolutely no one knows it.

Hang gulped roughly. He just nodded with doubt. His face was so pale upon hearing Leo's threat just now. Only, he could not undo or slightly foil the plan to bring Hime towards the eastern viscount.

“I understand, don't worry sir.” Hang replied without giving a nervous feeling. He had to hide something professionally.

“Good Hime, take good care of yourself.” Leo waved his hand as he saw Hime get inside the carriage.

He also waved at the proud residents of his village and waved his hand. Then Leo entered followed by Iris and Melina into the horse carriage. Just before Leo actually came in, he said to Elric, Gero and Chris.

“You guys, take good care of the village.”

As the two horse carriages set off, Leo tried to sit comfortably. More precisely he was trying to be comfortable since Iris and Melina were sitting in between. Moreover, Melina who makes Leo's emotional slightly increased.

“A-I think, in front of us there is still an empty bench. Why don't you guys sit in front of me?” Leo asked a little nervously.

“We must guard Mr. Leo from the blind spot of the lord which is left and right. So, we have to sit next to you.” Teach them simultaneously.

‘No sense!’

A little forgetting about it, Leo felt, that this horse carriage was really very awkward. Moreover, the escort horse carriage behind him that seemed to be a guard. Perhaps if viewed using the eyes, there is nothing strange. It's just, this is something so awkward that makes Leo squint his eyes.

.....

“Elric, didn't Mr Leo leave three hours ago?” A man who was none other than Gero, he approached Elric who was watching the people here. Gero's face was filled with question marks after he came back from somewhere.

Elric then responded to Leo's question. Seeing Gero's face full of question marks, made Elric also wonder. Moreover, such questions belong to Gero who makes Elric confused. “What does senior mean?”

“At the gate, there was a luxurious carriage in which the alleged envoy belonged to Duke Luther. They want to pick up Mr. Leo.”

“What?” Elric was really surprised. Then, without hesitation he rushed towards the gate of Griefhaven village to see the true situation and asked for an explanation.

And sure enough, Elric saw some chariots that were so luxurious. Even more luxurious than the horse carriage that brought Leo earlier.  

Obviously, neither Elric nor Leo's side saw it, they were really very surprised to see this incident.

Asking for an explanation, one of them asked. “Didn't it? Did your master refuse.”

“No no, this is a mistake! Are you guys really right from Duke's side?” Elric asked in a complete panic. Yes, he had a severe and almost insane temperament. Because, if in front of him was the original Duke's horse-drawn carriage, then, who picked up Leo earlier?

“Of course, yesterday also we passed by Mr. Tristan.” Answer them.

“Sial!” Elric was quite panicked this time. Not just Elric, even Gero and some people who saw it. They were really surprised to know that ....

The village leader has been framed! 

“Master I'm serious. Mr. Leo has just been picked up by a chariot on behalf of the Duke. Sir, can you help us to find the whereabouts of Duke's invited guests? Mister, please! Looks like our master was framed!” Elric said in a pleading tone his face as white as paper.

A few bodyguards from the duke's side, they looked at each other in confusion. They think that something is wrong. So, they immediately spoke up.

“You guys are framed like it. Well, in honor of the duke, we'll try to find out where Mr. Leo is. In addition, you must report to the adventurer guild and the mayor.” Answer them.

“Good sir, thank you for your kindness. We didn't expect it to end this bad.”
