Your Grace! Your Grace...! The lady has arrived with her troop.

She's here...? Good. Let the knights stay in the Barracks.
Butler(Charles Anniston)

As your command, your grace.

Hmm. Call all the maids and the chef to the grand hall.
The butler nodded and left to do his task.
*On Grace's side*

LET·MY·KNIGHTS·ENTER...!!!
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
My lady... You are currently possessing a threatening weapon, I apologize, but I cannot let you or your knights enter through the palace gate.
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
It's a general code-of-conduct for the guard's/knights. That they shouldn't allow any individual to carry a weapon, and let them enter inside the ducal residence.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
HOW DARE YOU—!
Asaph
Asaph
My lady, I think we can wait outside. You need not quarrel with a guard for us... we're just knights, not noblemen.
Alann
Alann
Yes, Lady Grace, You can enter if you're tired, but we won't, not until the archduke arrives and allows us to do so.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
...

Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Flutter. Do it now.
Flutter(A rare phoenix)
Flutter(A rare phoenix)
*Blinks and nods*
The fire bird took a flight into the sky.
Soon the fire bird started glowing, radiating a warm but deadly aura.
The lady's eyes looked exactly like the dance of the phoenix, dangerous.

Esmeralda's wavy, golden hair, started glowing like fire.
Her eyes turned dark.
The people, including the palace guard and the knights were looking stunned. Their fear was evident on all of their faces.
Their eyes were specifically fixated on the phoenix and then back to the lady.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Do you still choose to deny the order of your master!?! *calm yet ominous aura*
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
My–my lady...!
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
Forgive my insolence!
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
I was being foolish! Apologies, your grace.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
I must not repeat this mistake again... Say it! And slap yourself three times, on each side of your face. *Steely gaze*

My lady—
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
SAY·IT!!!
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Say it while you have time.
The whole atmosphere outside the ducal residence was sinister and chilling.
Nobody uttered a word.
The knights on the training ground noticed the austerity of the atmosphere outside.
But dare not go and interrupt in between the matters of the young lady.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Say that you were wrong and wouldn't repeat THIS SIN again.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
It seems that you're still doubting my authority.
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
That– My Lady— *muttering*
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Speak...LOUDER!!!
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
YOU BIT¢H!
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
I will kill you for disrespecting me!
Ducal Palace-Guard
Ducal Palace-Guard
The Archduke doesn't care about you anyway...!
Saying this, the palace guard lunged to attack Emery....
Seeing this the two knights alerted and took out their swords to protect the lady.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
🫷🏼Stop
Esmeralda stopped them.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
I'll take the lead as always.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Never forget, ‘the boss’ never reveals their true power until they meet someone worthy enough to be called an ‘opponent’.

But the boss WILL do so...if they're—
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
PISSED OFF!!!
Saying this, “little lady” struck back a deadly blow. Well, not so little anymore.
NovelToon
The impact of the powerful punch launched the latter off their feet, sending them crashing through the air.
A sudden change in the behavior of that guard was noticeable.
His muscles started popping up out of nowhere.
His eyes glowed.
He growled like an animal and shrieked while attempting to launch another attack.
???
???
I'LL KILL YOU TODAY, BITCH!!!
Grace/Emery looked a little taken aback by the sudden change.
But still remained imposed on her usual stoic expression.
She took out her sword and lunged at the lupine, savage beast.
He screeched, dealing the crippling blow.
???
???
💭Why did they not tell me that she was THIS strong!?! Now, I'll have to deal with it, or they'll refuse to give me the magical potion.
???
???
💭 Either way, I'll end up dead, this girl is like a herculean. I won't be able to resist for longer, i need to escape somehow.
Suddenly, emery took it as a chance for using her ultimate ‘coup de grâce’ technique.
NovelToon
The beast man fell to the ground, grace pointed her sword at his neck.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Someone must've told you to assassinate a noble.
Asaph
Asaph
You must speak truthfully. *holding the beast man by a golden chain*
Alann
Alann
*holding the beast man by a white glowing aura shield*
???
???
*laughs*
???
???
Let's see if you can really catch me, Lady.
The beast-man broke the aura shield with a punch, and ran while being held by Asaph.
Asaph
Asaph
You monstrous being...! Stop before you have to deal with me too.
???
???
?
???
???
💭 He was holding onto me all this time...?
???
???
💭 I'll teach him a lesson.
Asaph was thrown into the training ground through the gate, the beast ran with the golden chain.
~A few moments later~
Alann
Alann
Asaph.
Asaph
Asaph
...
Alann
Alann
How are you so silly...!?!
Alann
Alann
You didn't even use your powers properly to catch him. He must've been a spy.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
*arrived inside the training ground with the firebird and Alann*
Asaph
Asaph
Boss, I did as you commanded me to do. Now, how do we track him?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
I'll take care of the rest. You two go in the barracks and rest well with the other knights.
Asaph
Asaph
*nods*
Alann gave a puzzled look.
Grace glanced at him and said–
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
I made a tracking device by using my power and by taking flutter's help.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
I know how to track that beast.
Alann
Alann
Boss, did you tell Asaph to put that chain on the beast to track him down?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
*nods*
Alann
Alann
Then—
Asaph
Asaph
Yes, the tracking device/equipment was attached to the chain and hidden. I hid it secretly before throwing it on that beast man.
Alann
Alann
I get it.
Alann
Alann
Thank You for cooperating with us, boss.
Alann
Alann
Please do take us with you on other missions.
Asaph
Asaph
We were honoured to be working with you, and will continue to give you our full support, master.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭Master?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Hmm. Rise. You may go now.
Both knights left.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Flutter~~ you can also go to sleep now.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Let's head back to my room first.
