<Episode 151 Side Story (15)>
Their raid on the Granville Forest was scheduled for the early morning hours, past midnight.
“Are you here?”
Emily looked at Killian with a worried look as he returned from the palace late in the evening.
“What is Daniel doing?”
“He's sleeping.”
Only then did Killian check the clock on the wall.
“Was everything okay, Madam?”
Killian asked, kissing Emily's head affectionately.
“Yes, I’m just at home, so what could possibly happen? What’s wrong with you?”
He didn't want to tell her, fearing she'd worry him unnecessarily, but his wife was always the one who found out everything. So Killian told her honestly that he'd been dispatched at dawn to suppress the coup.
“I didn’t know there were still people from the Manfredi family left.”
“Messina said the same thing.”
“I would tell you not to go, but you are the best person for this kind of thing, so I have no choice.”
Emily asked, hugging Killian.
“Would you like me to give you a boost of energy before you go?”
“How do you say that?”
Emily stood on tiptoe and kissed Killian on the lips.
“Like this.”
One of Killian's eyebrows went up crookedly, as he was not pleased with Emily's cute prank.
“It’s not enough.”
The dark-looking handsome man tilted his head, his gaze catching Emily's, and kissed her lips with all too familiar a kiss.
As Emily let out a thrilled moan, Killian shifted positions and continued the kiss. The movements were so stimulating that it felt like she was going crazy.
He gently held Emily's shoulders as she was pushed onto the bed. Even though she had given birth to his own child, his wife still felt overly delicate and small.
“You said you were going out at dawn.”
Emily asked, putting some distance between herself and him with her hand.
“You need to save your energy.”
“When have you ever seen me lose my strength? My wife always gets tired first...”
Emily, flustered, quickly covered his mouth with her hand. Killian smiled, grabbed the hand covering his own mouth, and pinned it to the bed. So Emily wouldn't run away.
“I don’t have much time because I have to go out soon.”
He bit Emily's lips again and raised his upper body, opening her thin gown.
His lips, deeply inhaling Emily's scent, gradually lowered. No matter how expensive the perfume he poured, it couldn't surpass Emily's scent.
Emily hugged his shoulders, listening to his heavy breathing.
It was when Emily, who had seen Killian off at dawn, was about to climb back into bed to try to sleep.
“Emily.”
A familiar silhouette was reflected outside the window. Emily, at the sound of her name calling, had no choice but to walk to the window and throw it wide open.
"Hi!"
As expected, a woman with gorgeous red hair was standing there waving her hand.
“You can just come to the door normally...”
“That’s so rude at night.”
'Isn't it better to come through the window?'
Emily swallowed what she wanted to say and took Messina's hand to help her into the room.
"What's going on? Shouldn't you be going to suppress the coup now?"
Even without Killian explaining everything, Emily knew that the Rezzetta family and the Gotio family were also moving together.
“Emily, do you want to go relieve some parenting stress?”
Emily looked troubled at Messina's words.
“Killian wouldn’t be too happy if he found out I followed him there.”
He was a man who was overly concerned about his own safety.
"What are you talking about? You're a better shot than Killian, so of course you should go."
This noble lady, who looked delicate and frail at first glance, surprisingly had a strong and bold personality.
Messina became a fan of Emily's after seeing her pull the trigger without hesitation when necessary.
“But what is it...”
Messina frowned as Emily's body was illuminated by the moonlight.
“Did you guys sleep during that time?”
“Ahem.”
Emily quickly grabbed the loosened gown.
"Killian, that guy is really amazing. Well, I didn't think of him as a human being in the first place."
Messina was tired of being amazed by this couple's love affair any longer.
"You're tired?"
Emily shook her head, her cheeks flushed red at Messina's question. It was embarrassing to say she was tired and leave.
“Can I help you?”
“Of course. Are you going to waste A-class magic power?”
Emily, who had been pondering Messina's words for a moment, soon took a gun out of the drawer of the bedside table.
“...Just a pistol?”
Messina asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
“Will that do?”
But Emily responded that it was no problem.
“You know, this is fine with me.”
This pistol, given to her by her father as a gift, was Emily's best weapon.
“Messina?”
Killian, who arrived at the scene, asked the people who had arrived first.
“You know, if she stays with me, she’ll show up whenever she wants.”
A look of fatigue was evident on Zed's face.
“Did you fight with Messina?”
“We were coming together, but we kept getting sidetracked.”
But in the end, it seemed like Messina had defeated Zed, seeing as he came alone.
“I can’t help it. Then let’s just go in.”
At Killian's command, Giovanni placed his suitcase on the floor. Inside, he found communications equipment and a rifle.
“Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way.”
“Be careful not to get hit by a magic bullet from behind like last time.”
Chambers said, patting Knox on the back.
Then, Knox, who was horrified by the action, put his hand on the back that he couldn't reach and swore.
“Hey, you little punk! Because of you, even after I became a father of two, strange rumors would still be going around.”
“Can’t you even worry about your colleagues?”
“Oh, really.”
Knox said, throwing the rifle to Chambers.
“Take care of yourself.”
Although it had been a long time, everyone put on their gloves and adjusted their gun handles with familiar skills.
"The Starr family, including me, will go inside. The Rezetta family will stay here and block the enemy from escaping."
“Yes, I understand.”
“The Gotio Family is guarding this area until further instructions are given from within.”
“Yes, I understand. I will prepare.”
“Yes, commence operation.”
After they infiltrated the racetrack, Emily and Messina also arrived at the scene.
“I guess everyone’s already gone in.”
“Let’s go in too.”
“Huh? Lord Messina. And... the Duchess?”
The Gotio family, who were guarding the headquarters, discovered the two.
“No, Messina. Are you crazy?”
Endymion now began to scold Messina in an excited voice.
“What if we bring the Duchess here?”
“Don’t be so nervous. She's stronger than you.”
Messina clicked her tongue and casually asked about the whereabouts of the others.
“The Starr Family has entered enemy territory, and the Rezetta Family is responsible for preventing anyone from escaping.”
“Don’t you guys have anything to do?”
“As you know, we are more skilled in business than combat, so for now, we are waiting here until further instructions are given.”
“Then why did you come?”
“There may come a time when we need numbers.”
Messina shook her head and went inside with Emily.
“What, as soon as we come in?”
Messina struck the rebel on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.
“Emily, are you feeling it?”
“Yes, I know.”
Someone had been watching the two of them for a while now.
“It’s not one person, but three or four people, isn’t it?”
“On the count of three, I will go to the left. Messina, please go to the right.”
"Good."
“One, two, three.”
As soon as the two women moved, a magic bullet flew from behind. As Messina had predicted, there were three enemies.
Emily, who had hidden behind the stacked cannons, aimed her gun at the enemy who had revealed themselves.
The magic bullet that flew with a bang pierced the enemy's head.
Emily immediately took a second aim and fired her magic bullet. Messina's shot from the other side also succeeded, neatly ending the situation.
“Let’s go over there.”
As soon as Messina entered the corner where the rebels had come out, there was a loud explosion, and the surrounding area was reduced to ashes.
Cough, cough, cough! The two closed their eyes and coughed at the dust that had flown in, and soon encountered Zed and the members of the Rezetta family.
Their raid on the Granville Forest was scheduled for the early morning hours, past midnight.
“Are you here?”
Emily looked at Killian with a worried look as he returned from the palace late in the evening.
