I'm Telling You We Really Are Twins, Ok? (MNLAAV:ARLTD TwinAU fanfiction)

Chapter 9: Surprise

"Where is the last one, hm?" Artemis asked.

The man gulped, the taste of iron ached on his parched throat.

"He's... Planning to use the Young Lady of the house as bait to force the Managers to kill other people in the restaurant to--uhughrkk-?!"

Artemis pulled her sword back out of his chest and threw it over to one of her men.

"Wipe it clean before returning it to me." She ordered, "I've heard just about enough of them, imprison the other two with the young boy, there isn't an exception even if it's a child."

"Understood, Duke Athanasios!"

She walked off and out of work duty.

...

"My name is Ciaran." The young man who gave her the coconut from before was in the restaurant with her.

She was having fun talking to him while waiting for her twin, Artemis.

"Katarina!"

The restaurant doors suddenly burst open.

"Artemis..?" Katarina blinked, why did she suddenly burst in like that? She's drenched, did she run all the way here?

"So... You wouldn't mind if I use you as bait, right?"

She perked up turning to Ciaran.

"What?" She asked.

"Oh? I guess I'll take that as a no." Ciaran only smiled and aimed a knife at her.

Red.

A spark of red appeared.

"Duke Athanasios!!!"

Panic unfolded.

Chaos.

Ciaran was skilled, wasn't he? But he won't last when the said Managers were all once former knights that served under Artemis years ago y'know.

"Tsk, that hurt." Artemis was scarred.

Fortunately, it didn't feel like a deep wound, she's felt deeper wounds before than this, narrowly escaping her deaths and all.

"Artemis!" Katarina shot up gasping.

She was bleeding from her shoulder.

"I don't need a doctor." Artemis sighed, standing up.

Katarina was worried sick.

"Take care of that last Islander, kill him, he tried to manhandle Katarina." Artemis was moving as if she wasn't wounded.

The other customers present were shocked by the events that had occurred.

The Duke had been hurt.

"Artemis..."

Artemis perked up looking over to Katarina, "What are you looking sad for?"

"You need a doctor, you're hurt and bleeding," Katarina said.

"It's not deep, I'll patch it up later." Artemis shrugged.
