My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Knight in Shining Armor

"The girl took a step back, letting her body fall off the cliff. In that moment, everything seemed to become meaningless as she closed her eyes, accepting her fate.

"Stop!" The guards were frozen in shock, never expecting the girl to actually jump. Was she so stubborn that instead of going back with them, she was willing to die?

They rushed towards the cliff and looked down, their faces filled with horror. They were already dreading how the Family Head would punish them for their failure.

"What is that?" One of the guards abruptly exclaimed, watching a strange winged creature in the distance. His shocked voice caught the attention of the other guards, who also noticed the unfamiliar creature.

"Isn't that a Pegasus?" Their expressions darkened as they remembered where they heard about a creature with these features.

It was something only found in the Western Continent. Even more shocking was that it was a beast used by those from the Holy Church.

"What are they doing here?"

Their faces grew even more pale as they realized the origin of these beasts. The Holy Church was an existence that was on the same level as the Necromancer Tower after all.

Not far from them, they noticed another Pegasus. This one was also carrying a man. The only difference was that the attire of the man was different.

The man was wearing the attire that belonged to the Cardinals of the Holy Church. The guards simply froze when they gazed at the person in the back.

They could feel their souls tremble. Without a second flight, they turned around and started running back.

They had to inform the family about this. For a Cardinal to enter the Northern Continent, it was enough for their family to contact the Necromancer Tower!

The Cardinal could stop the three guards from escaping. For him, it was child's play to kill them. However, he didn't even try to do that.

If anything, he wanted them to escape safely. If they didn't inform the Kiel Family, how could his plan succeed? Not only the Kiel Family, but even the Necromancer Tower had to get involved.

He simply watched the guards escape.

The world seemed to slow down as the girl fell, the wind rushing past her. Her eyes remained closed as she wondered what the moment of death would feel like. She was even a little scared as she felt herself getting closer to the ground.

She didn't even notice what was happening around here, especially the arrival of the people from the Western Continent.

Suddenly, she felt a strong force grab her arm, pulling her. Before she knew it, she found herself in someone's warm embrace. A man's scent assaulted her senses.

She was taken aback, and even scared, thinking that she was caught by the guards of her family.

She fiercely pushed the person who had protected her. Unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough. She couldn't even free herself from the man's embrace.

"Young lady, are you trying to kill me as well?" Eren asked softly, looking at the face of the girl who was quite scared.

"Is this how you thank your white knight in shining armor?" he jokingly asked, wondering why she was more scared of being protected than she was of falling to her death.

Curious, he used Identification to check the identity of the girl.

A status screen appeared in front of him, making him pleasantly surprised as he went through the description.

.................

Name: Ruby Kiel

Unique Identity: Daughter of the Kiel Family Head

Level: 23

Description: The princess of the Kiel Family, who ran away from home after her father's mind was enslaved by an unknown guest.

.................

'Hmm? The Kiel Family's daughter who ran away from home?'

He found her identity to be quite useful, but even more interesting was the last line that talked about her father being enslaved by someone.

When he thought about the enslavement of the mind, there was only one person who came to his mind. It was also a person who was staying in the Northern Continent.

He didn't know how many people in the world could use the same skill, but was it really a coincidence? He didn't feel like it was. Latest updates from m _vlempyr.

'After Fey lost his slaves because of me, it would make sense for him to want to create more. The Kiel Family Head is also important enough to be targeted by him.'

He wondered if Fey was the reason for the Author to warn him?

'Even if Fey controlled the Fey Family Patriarch, he isn't strong enough. Unless...'

Eren's thoughts focused on the destructive scene that he had seen along the way. It wasn't just the Kiel Family Patriarch! He finally understood what this uneasy feeling was.

Even the Cardinal didn't know exactly what was going on in the Kiel Family. If Fey was involved, it made sense why even stronger people were going to be here.

Eren thought from the perspective of Fey. If he controlled the Kiel Family Patriarch, he would have tried to use him to gather more slaves as the Kiel Family could contact the other families as well. Maybe even people from the Necromancer Tower were here.

Eren finally understood why the author warned him. If he went to the Kiel Family foolishly, it was truly impossible to return alive.

While Eren was lost in thoughts, the Pegasus soared in the sky.

Ruby heard his voice, growing confused. It wasn't the voice of her guards. This person even talked about saving her.

She opened her eyes and looked at the face of the charming person, momentarily entering a daze. How could someone like this exist?

In his embrace, she felt safe for some reason. It was as if he could truly roam through the land carefree.

"You are from the Holy Church?" she asked, noticing what kind of beast they were on.

"I am from the Demon Sect," Eren answered, shifting her attention to the girl.

His gaze narrowed and he looked in the direction of the Kiel Family's base.

"Let's talk later. I need to finish something first," he told the girl.

The Pegasus suddenly increased its speed, even shocking the girl who tightly hugged him, preventing her from falling.
