Chapter 90. If You''re There, Come Out?

    ?

    “These b*stards are just having a hard time, aren’t they bad at skills?”?

    ?

    “Did you rush to beat me? These idiots. Take what you got!”?

    ?

    There were four rough looking men.?

    ?

    And against those men…. There were two more men who were being beaten…….?

    ?

    There was one child who fainted behind the men, and another girl who was protecting the fainted child. They were all faces that Roselyn knew.?

    ?

    “Cassion?”?

    ?

    The men who were being beaten were Cassion and his guard Owen.?

    ?

    And the girl they were protecting was Hannah, and Hannah was holding the boy who sold daisies.?

    ?

    Just by looking at it like this, Roselyn could see what was going on.?

    ?

    She didn’t know why Cassion was beaten there. Anyway, she was right about the situation protecting the children.?

    ?

    “There are no countermeasures, really.”?

    ?

    Roselyn shook her head and scanned the area.?

    ?

    “If you’re there, come out.”?

    ?

    There was no name called, but Shadow appeared as if he knew Roselyn was calling him.?

    ?

    “Ah!”?

    ?

    Louie started hiccupping when she suddenly spotted the man who was by their side, unbeknownst to anyone else.?

    ?

    Roselyn didn’t have time to worry about Louie, who covered her mouth with her hands for fear of the sound leaking out.?

    ?

    “Can you help those people, please?”?

    ?

    Shadow stared at Roselyn without answering.?

    ?

    Contrary to the name “Shadow,” the man was very simple and ordinary.?

    ?

    ‘As I recall, the last time I saw him at the mansion, he was all black…………’?

    ?

    The strange thing was that she couldn’t remember his face at all, even though she had seen it last time.?

    ?

    He was literally like a shadow.?

    ?

    It was just a black shape, but the entity itself was not clearly visible.?

    ?

    While Roselyn was observing him, there was another scream from the alley.?

    ?

    “Ahh!”?

    ?

    But somehow Shadow remained motionless and only stared at Roselyn.?

    ?

    Furthermore, wasn’t the person screaming in pain in there flesh and blood of the master that he served? ?

    ?

    (*She meant Cassion is Tamon’s brother, and Tamon’s Shadow’s master, but Shadow doesn’t care for Cassion)?

    ?

    And yet, nothing wavered.?

    ?

    It was as if the only person he had to protect was Roselyn.?

    ?

    ‘That’s right, you are literally carrying out an order that you must protect only me.’?

    ?

    He would protect her, but she wasn’t his master, so he had no reason to grant her wish.?

    ?

    Also, if he listened to Roselyn’s request to save those people, he would be negligent in watching her, which was his original duty, so he would not move.?

    ?

    It was a horrifyingly perfect execution of orders.?

    ?

    So what would it take to move Shadow??

    ?

    Roselyn jumped into the alley without delay.?

    ?

    “Stop the violence there.”?

    ?

    The men who had been kicking their feet at the fallen Cassion and Owen, who was holding Cassion protectively, quickly raised their heads at the sound of Roselyn’s voice.?

    ?

    “What’s with the woman?”?

    ?

    “She’s not scared……….”?

    ?

    “Hey, I guess you want to be tough, too.”?

    ?

    The men smiled foully at Roselyn.?

    ?

    Roselyn approached the men without a care in the world.?

    ?

    Tap. Tap. Tap.?

    ?

    She made a loud noise of hitting her cane on the floor, deliberately to be heard.?

    ?

    Cassion lifted his stiff face.?

    ?

    “Go! Call my brother ………..”?

    ?

    “Shut up, b*stard!”?

    ?

    The man standing behind him stomped on Cassion’s hand. ?

    ?

    A curse word came out of Cassion’s mouth, and Owen, who was out of his mind for a while, quickly pushed the man away, protecting Cassion.?

    ?

    “B*stard!”?

    ?

    The man standing behind him kept hitting the fallen Cassion and Owen repeatedly.?

    ?

    The other two were approaching, drooling over the limping woman who walked towards them fearlessly, covering half her face.?

    ?

    She looked like a foreign aristocrat who had come to see a festival full of righteousness and naivety.?

    ?

    There was no food that looked more delicious than this.?

    ?

    “Now, let me see your hidden face….”?

    ?

    The moment the man standing in front of her reached for the veil that was hiding Roselyn’s face, Shadow approached without a sound and grabbed the man’s arm.?

    ?

    “What, what is it, brother, arghhhhh!”?

    ?

    Crack!?

    ?

    The sound of bones breaking in the desolate alley was clear and precise.?

    ?

    A man who was neither large nor strong, but merely looked as ordinary as a passerby, dealt with the men without expression.?

    ?

    “D*mn, what is this again? Since I don’t think things are going to work out, everyone is interrupting!” ?

    ?

    “You, you, you b*stard!”?

    ?

    The men shook at the sight of their companion, who instantly got one broken arm.?

    ?

    But they decided that they had the advantage, both in terms of size and number of people, so they quickly took up arms.?

    ?

    “Attack!”?

    ?

    The three of them rushed to Shadow.?

    ?

    Three large men jumped at him, but Shadow didn’t even flinch.?

    ?

    He was holding a small, sharp dagger in his hand.?

    ?

    Roselyn took advantage of the chaos and approached the fallen Cassion and the children.?

    ?

    “Everyone, are you okay?”?

    ?

    Cassion was conscious but could barely raise his body, and his second-in-command was completely unconscious.?

    ?

    Fortunately, Hannah was clean and without a scratch, but the child who sold the flowers held in Hannah’s arms was already out of his mind.?

    ?

    Roselyn methodically searched the head of the child who was held tightly in Hannah’s arms.?

    ?

    Fortunately, there were no serious wounds to the head and body.?

    ?

    “Louie, you go get Jorge.”?

    ?

    “Yes, yes!”?

    ?

    On Roselyn’s orders, Louie quickly ran away.?

    ?

    That was when it happened.?

    ?

    “This woman…!”?

    ?

    The man who had fallen with a broken arm somehow took out a knife and jumped at Roselyn. ?

    ?

    Realizing that things were going to go against them, he was going to take Roselyn hostage.?

    ?

    Shadow, who had already dealt with the three angry men, turned to protect Roselyn.?

    ?

    Clank!?

    ?

    But Roselyn’s hands were much faster.?

    ?

    She hit the hand of the man with the knife with the cane she was holding. It was a clean and precise move.?

    ?

    Clank!?

    ?

    The knife flew to the wall and the man fell back in surprise.?

    ?

    Roselyn didn’t stop there, but swung the cane again at the fallen man.?

    ?

    “Ah!”?

    ?

    The man’s head turned around and he fell back without being able to make another sound.?

    ?

    Since there were children, it was better to knock them out.?

    ?

    She didn’t know what kind of trouble they would make if she let them go.?

    ?

    How dare these people jump on them without a second thought??

    ?

    Shaking off the end of the cane, Roselyn straightened up.?

    ?

    As she turned to look behind her, she made eye contact with Cassion, who was lying on the floor.?

    ?

    His bruised lips were wide open as if surprised by Roselyn’s resoluteness.?

    ?

    Standing up straight, Roselyn held out her hand toward Cassion.?

    ?

    “Those who are sane and those who have lost their minds should also be dealt with. Don’t procrastinate.”?

    ?

    It sounded a bit cold, but at the same time, it was a sound that aroused the spirit of Cassion.?

    ?

    Cassion grabbed Roselyn’s hand and got up.?

    ?

    He then looked at Owen, who was completely out from protecting him.?

    ?

    At that time.?

    ?

    “Asha!”?

    ?

    Jorge, the Knights, and the twins came rushing into the alley.?

    ?

    Shadow had already disappeared.?

    ?

    ****?

    ?

    “Oh! What the hell happened?”?

    ?

    As soon as they got back to the house, Satin was in a panic.?

    ?

    Fortunately or unfortunately, only Cassian and his second-in-command were injured, but by the look of it, something had happened.?

    ?

    When Tamon returned to the mansion, he would definitely punish them.?

    ?

    “Doctor, call the doctor!” (Satin)?

    ?

    Fortunately, Cassion only suffered a scraped arm and a few hits to the face.?

    ?

    Owen, however, had one of his legs and ribs broken.?

    ?

    The resident doctor rushed in to check Owen and the child who sold flowers.?

    ?

    Roselyn caught up with Asrell as she pulled Cassion to heal his wounds.?

    ?

    “Asrell, I’ll do it.”?

    ?

    It was unexpected, but Asrell didn’t complain.?

    ?

    She just quietly handed Roselyn the first aid kit she had brought with her.?

    ?

    Roselyn took the hesitant Cassion into a small parlor.?

    ?

    walked into the small room with a faltering Cashion.?

    ?

    “Did you follow us?”?

    ?

    Cassion turned his head away without answering. Still, the reaction was enough.?

    ?

    “Why?”?

    ?

    Roselyn wiped Cassion’s palms with a clean cloth and alcohol.?

    ?

    “…Ugh.”?

    ?

    Cassion, who bit his lips and endured the sharp pain, hesitated and opened his mouth after a long silence.?

    ?

    “You are a strange woman.”?

    ?

    Roselyn glanced at Cassion. He was looking at Roselyn with a complicated expression.?

    ?

    “Even though you’re my brother’s woman, you’re not at all submissive…..Most ordinary women or people shrivel up in front of my brother, but you’re different.”?

    ?

    For Roselyn it was normal.?

    ?

    But she was under no obligation to tell Cassion about the post-war situation. So she said nothing and kept silent.?

    ?

    “Has my brother ever mentioned me to you?”?

    ?

    “Ignore him.”?

    ?

    Roselyn pretended not to know Tamon’s voice that came to her mind at that moment.?

    ?

    These brothers were somehow twisted.?

    ?

    She had no intention of interfering with it for no reason and making it even more twisted.?

    ?

    “Nothing.”?

    ?

    “He didn’t say anything?”?

    ?

    …However, Cassion was hurt more by her words.
