"Well, if you say that, then I have no choice, Duchess Broglie." Say Lily while chanting System Call.

"System Call: Generate Thermal Element Form Element, Arrow Shape. Discharge!" Lily said as she straightened her hand and in an instant three red-colored glowing arrows shot out from her hand.

In an instant the glowing arrow instantly pierced through Anne's body of Duchess Broglie's personal servant. Seeing that Duchess Broglie was angry as well as the Deputy Commander of the Sky Night Squad, a battle ensued between Duchess Broglie, the deputy commander of the Sky Night army against the leader of the people dressed in all black.

"System Call: Enhanced Armament." Duchess Broglie said as she swung her Black Lily sword as soon as it let out a dazzling purple light.

The battle between the Sky Night Army and those people dressed in all black was still continuing, though, and finally the fight was won by the Sky Night Army with some people who suffered minor and severe injuries and some who did not experience the slightest injury. But, not far from where the battle between the Sky Night Troop and the group of people dressed in all black that chariot belonged to Duke Verita passed, while enjoying the view of the night forest, while enjoying the view of the night forest, Young Duke Verita accidentally saw several corpses dressed all in black from the tip of his hair to the tip of his foot. Because there was a ban on Young Duke Verita also told his coachman to stop.

"We'll stop here for a second, I want to see what's going on here." Said Young Duke Verita to his coachman.

"Good, Sir." The coachman replied respectfully.

"The five of you come with me, the rest of you stay on guard here!" Said Young Duke Verita to his soldiers.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Said his soldiers in unison.

While on the road to the scene of the Duke Young Verita was stopped by a wounded soldier in his upper arm.

"Please, help me sir. Please help me." Said the wounded soldier, staggering.

"Calm down, what's going on in there?" Young Duke Verita asked the wounded soldier.

"A group of people dressed in all black attacked Madam Duchess, Sir. Our troops are not holding him back. Please help our Lady, sir." Said the soldier while pleading and enduring the pain.

"May I ask who you are and who your employer is?" Ask the Young Duke Verita.

"Why should I tell you who I am and who my employer is?" Ask the soldier confused.

"Well, if you say so, like I can't help you and your employer, sir. Let's go." Said Young Duke Verita as he walked away leaving the wounded soldier alone.

"Tu-wait, S-me... I am Zachary Quinto the third son of Baron Quinto, I am from the Sky Night army belonging to the Duke Broglie Family and my employer, Duchess Broglie was attacked by an unknown person."

" I've told you, my name and employer, please please, Mrs Duchess, sir." Shouted the soldier named Zachary Quinto was to the Young Duke Verita.

"All right, all right, I'll help your master." Said the Young Duke Verita while helping Zachary stand up.

"Thank you very much, sir." Zachary is happy.

"Yes." Yeah." Said the Young Duke Verita briefly.

Arriving at the place where Duchess Broglie was Young Duke Verita was shocked to see so many corpses strewn everywhere.

"Mrs Duchess... Are you okay?" Shouted Young Duke Verita Worrying.

"Ah... It turns out you are Young Duke Verita, I guess who. Yes I'm fine, just a scratch on some part of my body, you don't have to worry like that, Young Duke Verita." Duchess Broglie smiled at Young Duke Verita.

"How can you say that while smiling so widely. You're the mother of my friend, I'm afraid that Sena will cry when she sees you coming home in this state."

"Come, madam, you must come with me, I will treat your wounds, madam." Young Duke Verita said she was increasingly worried about Duchess Broglie's deteriorating situation.

"No need, I can treat it myself." Duchess Broglie refused to be treated by Young Duke Verita.

"I've told you let me help you to heal your wounds, ma'am." Said the Young Duke Verita while treating the wounds that were on the body of Lady Duchess Broglie.

As soon as all the injuries on Duchess Broglie's body, her maid Anne and the few Sky Night survivors were treated, they continued their journey back to Broglie's residence. Accompanied by Young Duke Verita to report what had happened to Duchess Broglie and some of the troops escorting her.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry, Lily. You better take our Young Duke Verita to the guest room first, after you take Young Duke Verita to his room come to my room, there are some things I want to ask you." Duchess Broglie said to Her Chief Servant.

"Okay, Madam." Lily said obediently.

"Tok tock." The knocking of the door.

"Mrs, it's me, Lily." Said the Chief Servant while knocking on the door.

"Lake in." Duchess Broglie.

"What are you calling me, ma'am?" Lily asked curiously.

"I've been attacked today by a group of unknown people." Duchess Broglie begins talks.

"God, who would dare to do such a deed to you, Madam?" Lily was surprised.

"I don't know, but it looks like that guy's one of his followers, Princess Ellie." Duchess Broglie said to Her Chief Servant.

"P-followers of Princess Ellie?" Lily asked in fear.

"Yes, it seems so. Judging from his sword ability it seemed like he joined the Synthesis Integrity Force of Her Highness Princess Quinella." Duchess Broglie explained.

"Oh Goddess, how is this, Madam began to suspect. If Madam asks later what should I answer. Goddess Stacia, please save the lives of your followers." Said Lily in her heart while putting on a face that was panicking about something.

"Lily, what's wrong with you?" Duchess Broglie asked curiously.

"No-no, I'm fine, ma'am, hehehe." Lily said, getting more anxious.

"By the way, Lily, you can use a gun, right?" Duchess Broglie asked Lily.

"S-weapons?" Lily asked in surprise. .

"Yes, weapons, such as swords, arrows, or spears and other weapons. Don't you know about that?" Ask Duchess Broglie again.

"Of course I can use a gun, ma'am. I can use a sword and an arrow." Lily told Duchess Broglie.

"Hm... Have you ever been to sword or archery training?" Ask Duchess Broglie again.

"No, I've never taken a sword class or an archery class. I studied self-taught even though there were some things that my brother or my parents helped me with, Madam. But, ma'am why are you asking like that?" Lily asked curiously.

"Mhmmm... No, I was just curious. All right, you can go, Lily." Duchess Broglie said, telling Lily to leave her room.

"Hm... It seems like Madam is getting suspicious of me, I need to be careful in speaking or acting, I should also contact Princess Ellie as soon as possible." Lily said as she walked out.
