Chapter V: Fifth Instance of Death

It was a meaningless gate.

It was only a gate—it wasn’t as if a fence surrounded the garden, and the gate only served to emphasize the artificial nature of the garden in the middle of the wasteland. If there was no fence or wall, then there was no reason to build a gate. Yet there the gate was. An iron door between two pillars. A serpent pattern framed the completely level, rust-free door.

No, it wasn’t meaningless. Leticia changed her mind with a wry smile. This gate was ironic. A sort of sarcasm directed at the gods. A sarcasm for the state of the world. This garden was the Serpent’s Garden. But there was nothing around it. It was a serpent gate meant only to express what lay beyond.

Just for irony like that... Guess they’ve got plenty of time on their hands, she thought to herself as she removed the pin that acted as the safety from the repeating bowgun. There was no point musing about the motivations of such whimsical people.

Beyond this garden was the lord.

I’ve snuck in this far. Will you just leave me be, Damian Rue? she asked herself. If they weren’t worried about her yet, then she just had to keep going until they could no longer ignore her.

The quiet was uncomfortable. She could see a mansion beyond the garden, but the sun had set, so it was just a dark shadow against the night sky. There were no lights in the windows. She’d been picturing dozens of guards, but the garden was so quiet it seemed deserted.

Or maybe...

She held up the bowgun and narrowed her eyes, looking around.

Maybe it really is deserted... There was a possibility Seek and that other young sorcerer, whatever his name was, had already arrived and the fighting had begun. Of course, if that was the case, then Damian had probably already defeated them. It was their own fault, really. To tell the truth, she wasn’t so relaxed at the moment that she could spare any worry for a pair of assassins she didn’t know very well.

Leticia cautiously stepped foot into the garden.

Damian Rue had predicted that he’d kill her using “violence that already exists”—that probably meant that he wouldn’t lift a finger directly. Not until he was truly backed into a corner. Meaning a situation where all or most of his subordinates were wiped out.

She didn’t know how many Dragoons the lord had in his employ, but she’d have to defeat all of them herself.

Doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to hold back. She glanced down at the bowgun in her hand. It was a weapon that rapidly fired four bolts roughly the size of darts, but it wasn’t all that lethal. It was perfect for intimidation and making a show of force, but on the other hand, that was really all it was good for.

She wouldn’t make it through without her sorcery—she admitted that fact grimly. People might die. She’d become a murderer.

You couldn’t murder for a just cause.
