Chapter 26: Captive

So, what do I do now?

I was entirely surrounded, but I sipped at my tea all the same, thinking of the best course of action.

Wait! What if they spiked the tea with sleeping drugs or something?! Oh well, it wouldn’t really matter anyway...

I’d used magic to make sure status effects couldn’t affect me. The second poison entered my body, it’d be taken apart and detoxified. On top of those precautions, the dark powers that were still lurking in my body would do anything to make sure I stayed alive. Toxins or viruses didn’t stand a chance against me.

Actually, maybe some bioengineered super virus—y’know, like the kinds we sometimes see in movies—would work. Who knows?

“What is going on?” I asked, my tone even.

I pretended to be calm as I took a good look around. Soldiers from every country were surrounding me. I spotted knights and even most members of my guard among them. Actually, apart from Layla and Fox, every single member of my guard was standing there.

You guys all turned into traitors? I’m shocked. I thought y’all liked me more than this. What a joke.

“We’re so sorry, Lady Ellize! But...” One of the members of my guard spoke up after I glared at them, showing my irritation. “You may not forgive us for this but we... We don’t want to lose you!”

So that was their excuse?! They’d signed up for the job knowing full well saints always died after defeating the witch—although I doubted they knew what truly happened—and now they were backing off?

Whatever, I’ll scold them later. For the time being, I need to find a way out of this mess.

Ten members of my guards, twenty-some knights, and a bunch of random soldiers were facing me.

Meh, I probably won’t need more than ten seconds to make them all pass out.

Killing them all would have taken me less than a second, but there was no need to be that extreme.

“King Aiz,” I started. “You just said that as long as I was here, peace would endure. Do you truly think someone who can make that happen can be restrained by a few knights and soldiers?”

For crying out loud, I’d need one spell to destroy this entire room and the people in it.

I was done putting my defenses up. No matter what they tried, they wouldn’t land a scratch on me. That being said, I doubted they’d try in the first place. They thought I was the real saint, so they were likely convinced I couldn’t get hurt.

King Aiz seemed a little intimidated, but his smile didn’t falter. “Naturally, I’m aware we cannot restrain you, but the same cannot be said of your followers.”

I immediately looked for Layla in the crowd. A sword was pressed against the back of her neck. It didn’t look like she’d tried to resist.

SCOTTERBRAIN!!! Why are you letting them catch you so easily?!

“I hope you’ll behave,” King Aiz said. “We don’t want to antagonize you, Lady Ellize. We’d just like you to...take care of yourself a little better.
