PS: Rita's character design, the skirt armor is imagined to be dark red, and so is the sickle.
Wake up, owner of the fridge.
……
The bustling Imperial City did not fall silent because of the night. The brightly lit lights illuminated the entire Imperial City, making it look like a city that never sleeps.
At the residence of Earl Robert.
It was located in the center of the Imperial Capital. It occupied a large area and had a grand and luxurious building.
However, at this moment, Count Constance Robert, who was sitting in his room, was filled with unease.
"What happened?"
Connes frowned, feeling anxious as if a great crisis was about to descend.
"Did the operation fail?"
Constance stood up, his expression uncertain.
As an earl who played with power, he had an extraordinary intuition for danger. Otherwise, he would not have slowly risen from an ordinary noble to an earl with real power.
As for the uneasiness in his heart, he instantly thought of the assassin of the seventh step that he had sent out.
"Could it be that Rennes has hidden his strength beyond my expectations?？”Constance muttered to himself.
Even a powerhouse of the eighth step would have a certain chance of success if an assassin of the seventh step took action. It was almost always successful.
Theoretically, there was no possibility of failure.
But why was he so uneasy?
"Men!"
Connes shouted, feeling increasingly uneasy.
At this time, only a strong person protecting him could make him feel at ease.
However, what made his heart beat wildly was that there was no response from his voice.
The guards, who were usually smart and quick-witted, did not move at all as if they were deaf.
The entire room was shrouded in a strange silence.
"What's going on!"
Connes's expression finally changed. He looked out the window and saw the dark night covering the land.
Even with the magic crystal lamp illuminating the darkness, Constance's heart was still pounding.
It was as if something terrifying was hiding in the darkness and quietly peeping at him.
"Someone come!"
Connes shouted again, his large palms clenched tightly as sweat oozed out.
He was terrified!
"Count, there is no need to call out!"
A calm and calm voice rang out. In this quiet room, it sounded extremely abrupt.
Then, as Connes stared in shock, a scarlet light flowed into the room like water, forming a slender and beautiful figure.
She was wearing a dark red dress, a dark red sickle, and a pair of dark red eyes. Not only was she extremely beautiful, but she also emitted a demonic aura.
A huge dark red scythe was held in her hand. The snow-white scythe was stained with red blood. Her slender body was covered in dark red armor, making her look like a valkyrie. She was valiant and charming.
A pair of dark red eyes stared calmly at Connor, giving him immense pressure.
It was as if a terrifying magical beast was quietly staring at him, almost suffocating him.
"Earl, Guian!"
The beautiful woman bowed slightly and introduced herself with a smile.
"I am Rita Lothwither, the head maid of the Sartania family. I have come to take your life!”
"Please forgive me!"
The moving voice slowly said something that made people horrified.
Connes 'heart sank when he saw the person. His uneasiness had finally come true.
"In that case, the matter has been exposed?"
Constance said calmly. He had calmed down.
"You mean that assassin? That's right, he had already been killed by Young Master!”Rita smiled.
The smile on his face was unfathomable.
"I thought that I had already thought highly of Rennes's hidden strength. I didn't expect that I would still be wrong!”Connes sighed. He crossed his hands and hid them in his wide sleeves. His face was filled with pain and regret.
He knew that this time, he had completely lost.
Not only would he have to pay with his life, but his entire family might even have to be buried with him.
An assassin of the seventh step had attacked, but he still failed. He was shocked and helpless.
Rennes 'hidden strength was too terrifying.
How could a declining Grand Duke have such a powerful person?
"Earl, I admire your courage. " But…" Rita looked at him with admiration. Not everyone could remain calm in a situation of life and death.
From this alone, it could be seen that Connes was not simple.
"There are some things that can't be crossed. Once you cross the line, you'll have to pay the price!”
As for the price…
Naturally, it was his life!
"Before I die, I want to ask, is my family dead?”Constance took a deep breath and looked at Rita calmly.
Of course, although he looked calm on the surface, his rapid breathing betrayed his true heart.
"Yes, not only your family, but all the powerhouses above the third step have been dealt with by me, including the other two seventh step powerhouses.”Rita smiled without any guilt.
It was as if the lives of more than a hundred people were just a bunch of ants to her.
"You're so ruthless!"
Constance's face turned ferocious. Rita's words shattered his last bit of hope.
"Die with me!"
As he spoke, Connes opened his hands and held a magic scroll in his right sleeve.
A powerful fluctuation spread out.
Just the fluctuations alone surpassed that of an ordinary spell of the seventh step.
This was a magic scroll that was close to the eighth step. It was Connes 'hidden trump card, and could be used to perish together at a critical moment.
From this, one could see how ruthless Connes was.
However, before he could tear it open…
"Puff!"
A dazzling saber light flashed, and a blood-stained arm flew out, smashing into the distance with the scroll.
"Ah!"
The sudden pain made Connes scream and his body fell to the ground. Blood stained the carpet red.
"My lord, do you think that you still have the chance to tear the scroll in front of me?”
Rita raised her huge sickle, a cold smile on her face as she looked down at the miserable Constance.
"Go to the Netherworld and reunite with your son!”
Saying so, the dark red scythe whizzed down.
"Puff!"
Blood splattered everywhere.
