Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 312  Heart Of Yggrisial [8] [Shift]

"So…" Zenith began, her sharp gaze fixed on the long-haired man trembling before her. "Dark Trinity wants to kidnap Pasithea, is that it?"

The man nodded feverishly, sweat trickling down his temple.

"And why would they do that?" she asked, her staff's gem pulsing with light closer to his face.

"I don't know!" he stammered, his voice cracking. "They never told us the reason. We just follow orders!"

"It's not hard to guess, though," Aimar muttered, stepping to her side. His eyes briefly flicked to Zenith. "Himmel did tell me about the elves' current condition."

"They want to exploit the elves?" she guessed, a frown appearing on her beautiful face.

"I believe so," Aimar replied with a curt nod of his head. "We should move."

Without warning, Zenith raised her staff, gripping it like a club.

Thwack!

The man crumpled to the ground, unconscious, blood trickling from a fresh wound on his temple.

Zenith twirled her staff in her hand, the blood staining its surface flicking onto the ground.

"Yeah, we should take Pasithea somewhere safe," she replied casually while glancing at the two bodies. "What about them?"

"Leave them here," Aimar replied, already turning on his heel. "We'll notify the guards. They can handle the cleanup."

"Hmm." Zenith nodded gently as she trailed behind him. "Let's do that."

But as she moved, Zenith waved her staff, making a rune of 'light' in the front space along with a rune of 'Barrier.'

The runes seamlessly merged, half of it encasing the unconscious man before vanishing while the rest etched itself onto her hand.

"This should do," she whispered softly, flicking the switch on her handcuff on.

"Hey, Zenith." Aimar's voice pulled her attention back to him.

"Yeah?" she asked, glancing at him curiously.

He hesitated for a while before he asked, "How strong are you?"
