Rise of the White Devil

Chapter 18 - 18: Escort Mission

Lucas heard the whispers of the adventurers in the guild hall but remained calm as he walked confidently to one of the tablets to

"You—" But again, before he could give a response, he heard a gentle and kind voice cutting him off from talking further.

"Sir Noctis, since you are willing to join, I doubt a test would be needed to determine if you are capable or not. After all, you have never failed a mission. Instead of a test, I would like to invite you inside the carriage, where we could have a proper talk."

The voice sounded like a silver bell, causing the White Devil's eyes to shoot up in surprise for a second before returning to normal.

"Hmm, very well. I will graciously accept your offer then," The White Devil said in his usual cold voice.

Hearing this, the adventurers were shocked, and some wanted to protest. But before they could, Gerhald interrupted.

"My lady! You can't invite a stranger like him inside your car—"

Once again, he was interrupted by the same voice.

"Sir Gerhald, please behave yourself in the presence of others. Whether I invite him or not is none of your business. Your duty is to protect me and get me back to the elven domain. Is that understood?" She said in her usual tone, but this time everyone could tell that she was angry and wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"Y-yes, my lady. I apologize again for this," he said while glaring at the White Devil, who went to the other side of the carriage where no one could see him, further ignoring Gerhald, and stepped inside the carriage.

As this mission would change the fate of the entire elven domain.
