Chapter 59: Chapter 59:Escape

As sunlight touched the earth, everyone woke with solemn expressions.

Today was the day the Duke would stand trial.

Whatever happened today would determine whether the Duke Mansion would continue to stand or finally crumble.

Yen and Ronan also woke early. They watched as Bama, the elders, and several important members of the Duke Family left the mansion.

All of them wore serious expressions.

Meanwhile, Ronan observed the guards.

Their numbers were gradually decreasing as shifts changed and new guards took over. He also watched the maids and servants moving around the Duke Mansion.

He took a deep breath.

Today was their day to escape.

And if, by some chance, they messed this up...

It was over.

How would Ronan explain himself?

As things stood, Ronan could already feel as though a gigantic beast had set its eyes on the Duke Family, waiting for the perfect opportunity to tear it apart.

If he stayed here any longer, he could easily be dragged into the chaos.

And once that happened, Ronan might never be able to leave.

Or worse...

He might be killed.

As an undead, he was already walking on the edge.

But today...

As long as everything went according to plan, they would be fine.

Ronan and Yen exchanged glances before waiting for another hour.

That hour was the longest and most painful hour of Ronan’s life.

Every second felt unbearably long.

"Are you nervous?"

Ronan looked at the beautiful Yen and asked.

Hearing her Master speak, Yen looked up at Ronan.

By now, he had covered his face and head, leaving only his crimson eyes exposed.

"A little."

Yen spoke softly.

Ronan nodded.

"But I trust... Master."

Yen finished speaking as her face flushed.

Ronan raised an eyebrow.

Why the hell are you blushing now?

Come on... is my charm really that strong?

You’re a vampire too, you know.

And you’re incredibly beautiful...

And that figure...

Wait.

Fuck.

Don’t get carried away.

Ronan hurriedly looked away from Yen as his little heart pounded.

Finally, the clock struck the appointed hour.

Ronan stood up.

"It’s time."

Ronan spoke.

Yen nodded, but she lowered her gaze.

Her body trembled slightly.

Ronan immediately became worried.

"Yen, are you okay?"

"Can’t you use your abilities?"

"Or are you thirsty for blood?"

Ronan asked as he gently grabbed her shoulders.

"No, Master."

"It’s just..."

"You’ll have to hold me tightly so that I don’t get separated from you while we move."

Yen spoke while keeping her gaze lowered.

Ronan stared at her.

Is that all?

Then why does Yen look so... flustered?

Little did Ronan know that this was the first time Yen had ever been this close to a man.

Although she was an assassin who appeared cold and ruthless to the outside world, Yen was still just a young woman who had been forced to become that way because of what happened to her sister.

Ever since she discovered that Ronan was actually male, she had felt somewhat uncomfortable around him.

She blushed whenever she remembered that she had once changed clothes in front of Ronan.

And when she remembered how completely indifferent his expression had been, she couldn’t help but feel a little hurt.

Wasn’t I attractive enough?

Could my body really not move him at all?

But now...

Ronan was going to hold her closely.

Although Yen was anxious, a small part of her was also secretly anticipating it.

"Yen, it’s time."

Ronan spoke.

Yen immediately snapped out of her thoughts.

"Right... Master, come."

Ronan moved behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

The ground beneath them suddenly transformed into a dark, liquid-like substance.

Their bodies slowly sank into it.

"So... soft."

Ronan couldn’t help but mutter.

Yen’s clothing was thin, allowing him to feel the softness of her waist beneath his hands.

Her waist was also incredibly slender.

Ronan’s imagination immediately began running wild.

Meanwhile, Yen’s heart was pounding rapidly as the two of them sank into the darkness.

They reappeared near the gate of the Duke Mansion.

The area was empty for a few seconds.

Then, as the guards returned, Yen immediately activated her ability again, and the two sank back into the darkness.

But Yen was sweating.

She took several small breaths as she glanced down at Ronan’s hands.

Every time they emerged from the ground, it seemed as though his hands had moved slightly upward.

Ronan didn’t seem to notice.

It was almost as though their positions were being displaced whenever they emerged.

Eventually, Yen reached the military outpost on the outskirts of the capital.

By this point, Ronan’s hands were already...

"Master..."

"We’re here."

Yen spoke.

Then she glanced downward.

"And... your hands..."

"Huh?"

Ronan narrowed his eyes.

He had been enjoying the journey.

The strange sensation of sinking into the earth and emerging somewhere else was a completely new experience.

But more importantly...

Yen’s waist was incredibly soft.

Hehe...

At one point, Ronan had felt another unexpected softness beneath his hands.

It had nearly made his head explode.

But hearing Yen mention his hands made him realize what had happened.

It couldn’t be...

"Ah... sorry."

Ronan hurriedly stepped back.

Yen’s face was as red as a tomato as she tried to regulate her breathing.

"I’m fine."

"Let’s go."

Yen spoke.

Ronan nodded.

He felt guilty, but he couldn’t help glancing at his palms.

That soft sensation still seemed to linger on them.

He coughed awkwardly before hurriedly following Yen as the two entered the military outpost.

The moment they stepped inside, countless eyes turned toward them.

One was an ordinary-looking girl.

The other was a crimson-eyed Maiden.

Most of the soldiers were immediately drawn to the beautiful crimson-eyed Maiden, while wondering why such an ordinary-looking girl was accompanying her.

However, when the two approached the portal and brought out the Duke’s Seal, everyone was shocked.

"Isn’t that the Duke’s Seal?"

Someone couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes..."

"It should be."

"Are they related to the Duke Family?"

Another soldier asked, stunned.

"Sorry."

"The Duke Family has been forbidden from leaving the capital."

"Please, you’ll have to return to the capital with us."

Just then, the guards shook their heads.

Ronan and Yen froze.
