Dad's shirt was dyed red, as scratches and blood stains were on around his exposed skin. As the doctor rolled up his sleeves, I could see a deep cut on his forearm. It is a sign of battle.
As soon as I turned pale, other family members ran to the courtyard. Johann, who confirmed father's wounds, asked in an empty voice.
"What's going on?"
Nos, who was next to father replied,
"There was an attack."
"Who dared to do this!"
When Isaac shouted sharply, Henry blocked him with one arm and asked calmly.
"They couldn't catch the attacker?"
"The moment our people were overpowered, His Excellency came out voluntarily. They also used magic. So the person exploded the moment they were caught. Above all, they burned their faces, hands, and feet in advance so that they could not be identified, they seem to have been raised for suicide attacks in the first place."
"It looks like it wasn't planned in a day or two."
Johann, who was staring at father's cut, looked at Henry.
"Henry."
"I'll be in charge of the Amjo (Dubbled's intelligence). I'll share the information later."
"Yes. Isaac, you lead the forces with Siren (Dubbled's commander). Bring in a person from the estate who can fill in the missing positions of my father and I."
"Yes."
"Everyone, enter into an emergency state. Let's assume that there will be another battle."
The administrators and knights moved at once.
My family's facial expressions were completely different from usual. It was an unprecedented situation in which Dubbled's mansion was attacked. There was a sharp tension in the air that the hairs on my body stood up.

"They are very great, aren't they?"
"They are incredible commanders even though they are still young. I'm looking forward to their future"
"It's safe even though master leaves for a while!"
The maids around me tried to reassure me with a lively expression.
"......That's right."
I know what they are thinking, but I didn't say anything. The maids lowered their eyebrows when they saw me tapping the armrests of the sofa with subdued eyes.
"Don't worry too much. Master's wound was not deep, and the enemy will not be able to move easily for a while because the attack failed."
Linda, the most mature out of the three maids, comforted me by stroking the back of my hand.
"Yes......."
When my expression didn't change, the maids exchanged awkward glances.
"I'll bring warm milk."
"And picture books."
"Oh my I forgot where the puzzle was."
The maids were busy looking for something to cheer me up.
As soon as they left, I took my communication device and called the chairman.
[Yes, little miss.]
"Bring Trigon and Zachary to the greenhouse."
[You won't go to the office?]
"My family will be nervous if I go out. Also, since Trigon cannot enter a noble's mansion freely, do it quietly."
