The Witch Hunter System

”I ’ve been informed of the events in Blackmoon Region and received a request from Marquis Delarosa to protect her daughters and assist them if they are found in my territory, ” Helia Ashenborn casually said while pouring herself a glass of red wine.

”Mother did? ” Linetta and Lillias revealed their surprises as their eyes widened.

Their mother was very sick and bedridden. Unless someone informed her, their mother shouldn ’t have even known they had left home.

’It must be one of Mother ’s people, ’ they thought.

”Well, not from Marquis Delarosa herself, but one of her close retainers. Although I don ’t know why you both left your home without any protectors, I will ensure your safety as long as you are within my territory, ” Helia Ashenborn promised.

”I appreciate your goodwill, Lord Helia, ” Linetta shook her head and said, ”However, we won ’t be staying for long. In fact, we plan to leave right after resupplying necessities for the journey. ”

”Oh? ” Helia Ashenborn briefly glanced at Lillias before nodding with understanding. ”You must be heading to the capital. ”

”However, it is too dangerous, ” Helia Ashenborn suddenly added with a stern look. ”You should be aware that assassins from the Assembly of Silent Night are targeting you. The measly escort group will not be enough to protect you. ”

”I will arrange for my best guards and combat witches to accompany you to the next city. They will provide much better protection than your current escort, ” Helia Ashenborn generously offered.

”You must have met Yasmin before coming here. She ’s an experienced Senior Witch whose power isn ’t much inferior to mine. The Assembly of Silent Night ’s people shouldn ’t pose a threat to you with her around. ”

’You are too kind, Lord Helia, ” Linetta said with surprise.

Shortly after, Linetta turned her head to seek Vaan ’s opinion—to which he responded with a nod, advising her not to reject Helia Ashenborn ’s offer.

Vaan had observed Helia Ashenborn ’s body language and speech and confirmed her genuine concern for Linetta and Lillias ’s safety.
