Maid of the count's family

well that happened (3)

Cale and raon landed on a quiet cliff that was on the opposite side of where the Whales were currently fighting. Cale could see a vibrant forest as he stood with the cliff to his back.

Rustle.

Cale lowered his mask as he took a small step forward. All they could see were his eyes. It was the same for the others.

"We gather back here."

Cale's group dispersed across Hais Island 5.

– Nothing nearby

Just when he thought that, he heard a loud bang.

'What the'

That sudden blast took him by surprise

"human"

Raon called out

They both looked at each other before turning towards the source of that loud explosion

"Human this mana... It's weird .. it feels very familiar"

Raon was in deep thought, figuring out why it felt so familiar before letting out a gasp

"lilith"

Both of them said at the same time

"haaaa" cale let out a long sigh before he and raon headed towards the place that the exploding sound came from as fast as they could

"You had one job"

I heard a yell out of the guy who was usually always calm as a deadly glare added to his loud voice, he continued

"What ... no how the hell did you end up in here AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SUCH CHAOS"

I could sense rage. No, it was more like... there was frustration in his voice that trembled a little

'Was he worried that I would mess up the plan with this stunt I pulled?'

I mean that was a given. he would be feeling that way after all this planning and also the whales

Yes, I would have ruined it all because of my own incompetency and stupidity.

"I- I am sorry"

This time my sobbing was louder. Not because I was relieved and that I was safe

Oh, how selfish it was of me to be thinking that

I was angry, at myself and my own incompetent and useless self who had caused nothing but trouble to Cale.

If this plan were to fail, the mermaids would escape and ron would die because of the poison.

As more and more of those realization downed on me, the angrier and more frustrated I became at my own self.

As I was crying at my own miserable self, I felt a soft touch in my head, ruffing my hair. Those hands felt big and the voice I heard when I looked up was gentle just like those eyes that were locked on mine

"I see you managed to injure him that much. That will be quite a big help to others when fighting him. Good job, my clumsy little maid"

Cale said retreating his hand from my head. It was as if he had read my mind but one thing was that cale would never say things he didn't mean. No, not the cale I knew in this short span of time or the cale from the novel.

At that moment all I could do was look at him as more tears flowed from my eyes, speechless I was.

'Good job'
