Chapter 77
An Unexpected Development (2)
Her body stiffened with fear . She felt cold sweat all over her body .
What on earth is this? Who… why……!
She stared at Baru, who was standing there with his eyes wide open .
It was needless to say that Baru was clearly unarmed .
I’m sure he was banned from carrying weapons after the feast night match . Such punishment was often given to a knight who had caused confusion .
Ah .
Moreover, this attacker was cautious .
“Same goes for you, young man! I’m not alone … If you try to move even once, this woman’s neck will be severed from her torso . ”
The assassin said .
She could see flames of rage burning in Baru’s eyes .
His fearless face was distorted, and droplets of sweat appeared on his forehead .
For a warrior like Baru, it was disgraceful to be attacked while being unarmed, and so was having the woman beside him taken as a hostage while not being able to make a single move .
Even so, Chizuru must have been a headache for Baru . He was misunderstood by showing her some kindness on the night of the festival resulting in the castle owner becoming angry with him . And now this…
Sadly, Chizuru knew that it wouldn’t be unreasonable for Baru to escape here .
It had nothing to do with him if she was kidnapped or taken away . On the contrary, it might be refreshing to get revenge on Lukrov, who had hit him with irrational anger .
Chizuru held back her tears and swallowed the sob in her throat .
“Let’s go . ”
The eerie voice of the attacker reached Chizuru’s ears .
Kidnapping . Dead or alive .
Lukrov will be back soon . She just promised him that she would never leave his side .
“As if I would let you!”
Baru yelled before trying to attack the kidnapper .
It was as expected from a warrior who could stand on an equal foot as Lukrov . Despite being unarmed, he approached bravely and grabbed the kidnapper’s hand that held the dagger .
Baru, the kidnapper, and Chizuru collapsed on the floor .
“Gua …”
She heard a growl, and she saw that Baru had twisted the kidnapper’s arm and barely held it against the stone floor . She was stuck between the two men and couldn’t move no matter how hard she tried .
“Please run away! Hurry up!”
Baru shouted loudly .

He was trying to make her escape even when his life was at stake . She couldn’t refuse after seeing his state . She struggled to escape the hold between the two men and desperately twisted her body to release herself . However, the more she struggled, the more lost she felt . She wasn’t able to figure which way to go .
She could feel the knees and elbows of the men hitting her here and there . Fighting not to lose consciousness was her main concern .
She had to run away!
She promised him!
She promised that she would never leave his side!
Chizuru managed to get her lower half out of the mess . Her skirt rode up to her thighs, and her hair that had been done neatly this morning was scattered all over her face . Regardless, she continued fighting her way out to release her upper body .
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
She wanted to scream for help, but she could barely breathe and couldn’t speak .
Lukrov, Lukrov, Lukrov!
If only he could hear her cries, he would rush to save her even if it meant turning everyone in the world against him . No matter how hopeless the battle seemed, he would never run away . He wouldn’t give up, no matter how painful it gets .

Knowing what type of man he was, she couldn’t possibly betray such a man .
As a final resort, Baru kicked Chizuru’s back with his foot . It might seem like a rough action, but it couldn’t be helped from the current situation, and thanks to that, Chizuru was released from the conflict between the two men .
“Run away! Don’t wait for me!”
Having abandoned his usual honorifics, Baru shouted at Chizuru .
In the old days, she might have refused to run away and leave her friends behind at such moments . But Chizuru learned that even if she, who couldn’t fight at all, remained, she would just hold them back, creating a far worse disaster .
The only thing she could do now was to run away and call for help with all her might .
Chizuru stood up and started running, but another shadow appeared .
This time it didn’t look like a person .
A black cloth suddenly fell on Chizuru from above, covered her and blocked her vision . She collapsed at the sudden harsh impact . It felt as if someone just jumped on her from the outside .
She tried to scream .
But her screams wouldn’t come out . She was struck by the sharp pain in her abdomen … She could hear Baru’s cries from a distance until she finally lost consciousness .
