LUCIA

Chapter 103 The founding party

Roy leaned against the wall adjacent to the break room. He had confirmed with the knights guarding the break room door that there were no other entrances to the room.

'It's taking a long time.'

Being unable to see the target he was guarding right away made him uncomfortable.

'Let's wait for just 30 minutes. Then I have to make sure the Madam is alright.'

A servant approached from a distance and just as he passed by in front of Roy, he made a gesture that signaled their familiarity with each other. Roy naturally shifted his position and moved slightly away from the break room.

"Hey. You. Come here." (Roy)

The servant, who had walked some distance away, heard the call and approached Roy with reluctant steps. And turning his back to the knights guarding the break room entrance, he stood and said in a quiet voice.

"There are characters that need to be watched cautiously." (Servant(?))

Roy increased his voice as if wanting the knights to hear.

"Go bring me something to drink." (Roy)

"Count Ramis and Countess Falcon. The message is to inform you that you should watch carefully if either of them approach the Madam." (Servant(?))

The break room door opened, and a handmaid came out. The handmaid shared a knowing glance with the knights, then walked in Roy's direction.

"I asked you to bring it, why do you have so much to say?" (Roy)

"You cannot drink alcohol here." (Servant(?))

It was the scene of a servant who was pressed to follow a difficult demand, and a knight who was forcing him to bring alcohol. Because it was an action reasonable enough for someone as notorious as Roy, Anita held no suspicion and simply passed them.

The moment the woman passed in front of him, Roy's head turned sharply in her direction.

'What the— this smell is...'

It was a familiar but unpleasant smell. Roy knew a woman with the exact same smell. But that woman's face was not like this. Roy persistently followed the woman with his eyes until she turned around the corner and disappeared.

"...Who? David and who?"

"The Countess of Falcon."

"Don't know who that is but anyway, it's a woman."

He straightened up and quickly approached the knights standing guard in front of the break room. Seeing Roy suddenly approaching them, the knights raised their guard.

There was no time to tussle. After making this judgement, Roy gathered strength in his fists and unhesitatingly slammed them into the abdomen of the two knights.

"Kh!"

Not expecting him to attack without notice, the knights were unable to react at all and toppled over. Roy hit the back of their neck and knocked them out. He grabbed the unconscious knights by the scruff of their neck and using his chin, he gestured to the man who was dressed as a servant.

"Open the door."

The man's mouth opened a crack before he quickly opened the door. As Roy entered the room, the man checked to make sure that there was no one around to see them, then he followed inside and shut the door behind them.

Roy abandoned the two knights at the entrance, kicked opened the middle door and entered inside. Seeing the scene unfolding before his eyes, Roy's eyes widened menacingly. The Madam was lying on the couch with her eyes closed, and beside her, stood David in a hovering manner.
