"Now!"My command came out rather harsher than intended. Kanan has a surprised look on his face, but that gets him moving. I can only hope with that, Kanan will get the importance of the two headed child to me.
Sigh...
I stay in my seat still, looking beyond the closed door, contemplating my next move. The sly old pope doesn't give a face to me when I ask to meet him a month ago. But now he came knocking on my door and give me headaches. How I wish I can just do the same to him, give him a taste of his own medicine.
"Go away!" "What do you want?" The girls shouting upstairs are loud and clear, even from down here...
Ah.. I wish i can just ignore that fox. But I can't. The curch's influence is comparable to the Duke's, if not greater. If they do end up as our enemy, lots of money and potential market will be lost. I have to avoid that if I want to achieve my goal.
"Get out!" Another burst of scream reach my ears.
Hmm.. Maybe it's a bad idea leaving them to Kanan. I left the matter to him because he's a capable fellow. But now I'm feeling uneasy. He's always been bad with children.
"Don't be conceited, brat! Know your place! You are a slave! And this happened because you played with fire. Blame yourselves for being stupid!" Kanan shouted back in return.
Ah... He lost his wits... Kanan need to learn to control his temper if he is to survive in this cutthroat society.
"Shudupppp! You hurt Lina! You!" The child shrieked out.
Sigh...
It's getting a bit too heated to my liking. I shall have the maids teach Kanan how to deal with kids later on. Alright, I should step in and intervene.
"Arghhh!"
Suddenly Kanan screamed painfully.
"You're f*cking dead!" His voice sounds hysterical.
Whoa! I instantly on my feet and rush towards them as fast as I could, jumping over the stairs in two big steps. I have a bad feeling about this.
"Bam!"
True enough, I arrive at the door just in time to watch Kanan hurl the child into the wall. I'm too late.
The child, coughing blood from both of it's heads, is pressed against the wall while he continue venting his anger, screaming his head off at them.
With haste, I approached Kanan and touched his neck.
"Bzzzzzt!"
My point blank lightning magic still make a sound despite my best effort silencing it. Kanan hit the floor with a dull thud, paralysed. His magic dispersed, and the child fall down to the floor. A streak of blood ran down the wall where they were held against a moment ago.
"What in the world are you doing?" I ask Kanan who's eyeing me from the corner of his eyes without expecting an answer. He's unable to reply as he is still paralyse.
"Has the doctor arrived yet?" I ask Jing who's looking silently from outside while swallowing his fear. We have called a doctor over to treat the guards injured by the Pope when they force their way in. But this child take priority over them. They will have to wait a bit longer.
"N.. Not yet Master. But he should be here anytime now." Jing replied nervously.
I know he's scared I might blame him for allowing this to happen to the child. After all, he's their bodyguard. But it would be unreasonable to blame him as I'm the one who assigned Kanan to the child right in front of him. And theres really not much a lone warrior of his level can do against Kanan who's among the strongest mage in this capital. People who can defeat Kanan in this royal capital can be counted with fingers.
