Chapter 72
Ch 72
No one answered, and a circle closed around me at the centre . Dory was shivering, but she hugged me and pretended that she couldn’t see the man .
“Fine, do it . ”
“Haah . ”
Along with the man’s voice, his follower grabbed the man at the front of the circle and dragged him out . He binded the man’s arms behind his back and put a sword to his neck . The man who was caught was the one who always makes tea .
“Woah, stop!”
Dory held onto me tightly and turned her back on the scene . But, I could see the scene well from between the gaps .
“I’ll kill him if you don’t give me the girl . ”
“Ah, wah, uooah . ”
But, no one moved .
“We don’t have time . Do it . ”
The man who was pinning that person down put force into his hand .
“No!” The man’s hand stopped when he heard me .
“Dory, weth me go . ”
“No . Leilsama, be quiet . ”

“Dory . ”
“She’s there,” the man said .
“Dory, weth’sh thaw, k?”
Dory reluctantly let me go .
I met the man’s eyes for the first time . How rare . Are his eyes amber?
“Oh, your violet eyes are easy to tell even if they’re light . So you’re Albans’s daughter?”
We seemed to be thinking about the same thing, but I wasn’t obliged to answer .
“I’ll let this man go if you come here . ”
“Lei-sama, you can’t . Uooah . ”
The catering Onii-san seemed like he wanted to say something, but his neck was suppressed tightly .
The sounds of a furious battle continued at the door, and there were no signs of anybody coming to help . Even if I don’t follow them now, I’ll get people involved in this and eventually be taken by them . If that’s the case, then there’s no other way .
I stepped forward, and Dory stopped me, “You can’t!”
“Dory . ”
Speaking of which, I forgot that I was still holding onto the barrier box . I gave Dory the barrier box .
“Howd ith properwy . ”

“Leilsama…”
“Howwowsh come . ”
When we leave, the Hollows will come through the hole in the wall . Then, everyone will be killed .
“Leilsama!”
“Ith’sh oway . ”
I walked towards the man step by step as people kept calling me . Of course, I was tottering . At times like this, I can only stall .
However, I was scooped up in no time at all and lifted up .
“A barrier box? Should we take it?”
“No! Chu promished . ” I began to struggle as I said this clearly when the man looked at Dory with disturbing eyes .
“Tsk . ” The man glanced at the barrier box in annoyance and held the struggling me as he walked out of the hut .
“Leilsama!” Everyone’s heartbroken voice followed me from the hut . It’s inevitable . I’m sure we’ll meet again someday .
Outside the hut, there were a few men, one holding a large mallet and another an axe who were gathered around a man who was holding a barrier box . There were also Rug Dragons, so it was narrow .
“Dwagon!”
“Kyee!” The Rug Dragon wandered around restlessly in response to my voice . There were five adults and five Rug Dragons . The inside of the barrier was very narrow . The Hollows around the barrier were repelled *WHIRR, WHIRR* .

“You got her!”
“Yeah . Let’s withdraw . The fark . The Rug Dragons are annoying . ”
The men jumped onto the Rug Dragons .
“Don’t leave the barrier!” The Rug Dragons began to move when a man said that . The dragons had to move when they were told to even if they were worried about me .
Moreover, the Hollows were waiting for them if they went a little out of the barrier . The dragons couldn’t move quickly . The group who were attacking the wall on the side of Lentforce headed in the direction of the fief capital, where we were going .
I was held on the left of the man who was controlling his Rug Dragon with one hand . It felt uncomfortable, but I’ll fall off the dragon if I struggle . I remained still, but when we passed the entrance of the hut, “ARRGGHHH!” I raised my voice as loud as I could .
“Damn baby! I thought she was going to stay still!”
The man held onto me tighter, and I couldn’t speak . However, the people around the hut noticed us .
“Lei!” I heard a voice say, so they at least knew where I was going . This was all I could do .
“I heard that you were small, but jeez!”
I didn’t feel the need to answer and was jolted by the dragon . It seems like it’s dawn . The sky is getting a little brighter .
The dragon quickly stopped . We could still see the hut . There was a group guarded by a barrier box where we had stopped . They had around five people and a lot of Rug Dragons . Those dragons are probably for the men who attacked the hut . They didn’t fit in a three-metre diameter barrier .
So, there should be two barrier boxes here . The attack team has three and the people who kidnapped me have one .
Five people kidnapped me . They have five people here, and there were probably 20 men who attacked the hut . It was a large-scale operation .
I was put down roughly by the man who descended the dragon . You could say I was abandoned here . I fell down .
“Hey, that’s the important violet kid, right? Don’t be rough on her . ”
“I know, but they noticed us because she caused a commotion . ”
“What did you say?!”
I got up but curled myself into a small ball as if I was frightened . Is there anyone who could blame a toddler after seeing this?
“W-well, it can’t be helped . Prepare to withdraw,” the person, who seemed like the leader, issued an order, and everyone divided into groups of five .
*Piririri* he blew a whistle . It’s not a glass whistle . It’s a real whistle . The men at the hut started coming back here when they heard the sound of the whistle . They were probably holding the barrier box as they moved .
Everyone at the hut had to protect the Prince, so they couldn’t move . Bart was right .
While he may have been right, I wasn’t going to just sit around and wait for them to take me away . I had observed my surroundings when I was thrown down . I looked at the hut . The sea was on the left, and the Wellington Mountains on the right . They were nearer to the mountain range because they had barrier boxes .
Fortunately, this group hadn’t turned on their lights so that the people at the hut wouldn’t notice them . Even though morning was approaching, we could barely see each other’s faces .
If I run away, I’m sure I’ll find a way back to the hut .
Then, I should hide in the dangerous mountains .
I crouched down and moved to the edge of the barrier little by little .
They hadn’t paid any attention to me after the man had thrown me down . He’s probably going to hold me with one hand while he controls the dragon with the other again . They didn’t prepare any baskets . They seem more concerned about their allies who were rushing back here .
A little more until the edge of the barrier .
“Hey, where’s the kid?” A man noticed . I stood up and ran towards the direction where the sounds of the Hollows were . *WHIRR*
