The next 4 days

Yumie's P.O.V:

I walked around the factory and ensured everything was in order trying not to kick Scaramouche, who was yelling at the poor agents, stomping his foot like a damn toddler. My snakes were mocking his yelling behavior. I had to tell my agents not to laugh, but even I had trouble keeping a straight face.

"AND WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT GORGON?!"

I turned to see Scaramouche glaring at me, and I smiled before pulling his cheeks hard and speaking in a gentle yet firm tone. "Maybe I'm laughing at your bratty behavior since you're supposed to be the 6th Harbinger and not a fucking toddler!!" I let go of his cheeks and walked off, going to the agents and giving them better orders than they could understand. I bet that damn Midget scream their eardrums off.

"You know what, Gorgon?! I only have to work with you because of Pierro's orders!! If it were up to me, I would have killed you like the monster you are!!"

I stop right in front of the agents, who look terrified of what Scaramouche just said, and I roll my hands into a fist before taking a deep breath and releasing my hands. He wants me to be a monster? Fine, I'll show him a fucking Monster.

"Scaramouche, the next time you speak, remember that if you fail this mission, Father has permitted me to destroy ONE of your limbs," I said before looking at him from my shoulder with my snakes near his eyes hissing lowly, and he looks terrified. I turned to the agents and started walking past them. "Come along. We have to gather information on this rebellion that is happening."

"How Fucking dare you?! I should-"

BANG

Scaramouche and I look over to one of the boxes knocked over to see a little girl holding some dark purple stones. He was shaking in fear, and I walked over to him before grabbing my hand.

"Are you okay little one? You must have been scared of the yelling."

"I d-didn't mean to. I was delivering crystal marrow for my f-family. I'm sorry."

She started to cry, and I got a handkerchief from my short pocket before gently wiping her tears away. She looks at me, and I give her a sweet smile before I snap my fingers, making Mila come to me, and I get out a little bag full of Mora. "I want you to take her home. Please make sure you give this payment."

"Yes, milady. Come on, little one."

The little girl looks at Mila and at me, before I nudge my head toward Mila, and the girl runs up to Mila. I wave the little girl bye, and they leave. Scaramouche let out a tch. I glare at him and sigh before I walk to the agents, we start to leave the factory, and I can hear Scaramouche yelling at his agents, making me groan. I swear that Midget is more of a spoiled brat who doesn't get his way. I sighed and left the factory with the agents next to me. I look at them and whisper.

"Sell the Delusions. Get the information on this vision degree and rebellion."

"And if you get any letters, Lady Yumie?"

"Bring them to me. All of them." I said, walking away from the agents toward the run-down house and changing into a dark purple sleeveless shirt, dark grey shorts, and black sandals, putting my twin swords on my sides, and tying my traveling bag over my shoulder. I leave the house and sigh before walking up the hill near the rebellion and watching the soldiers protecting the villagers. I saw the General of this little army; if I remember from the reports, his was Gorrou—a dog with quite the bite. I kept watching him, and my snakes were hissing softly; I pet them softly before we moved away from sight and sighed.
