Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 311: 'Sneaking' into the Mansion (Bonus)

The moon was still up for two more hours, yet Nathan and Sera were already standing in front of the baron's mansion.

The night patrol couldn't help but notice them. Both of them didn't wear any coats this time, so their uniforms were immediately visible from afar.

"Who are you?" The two guards rushed to them while holding their spears tightly.

Sera turned around and smiled at them. "Hello. This person is Nathan and I am Serafina Dialanta. We are summoners from the Frexia Academy. We've come here for the bandit subjugation request."

"Ah!" The two guards recalled this information. "We've been notified by our superiors that there will be summoners that will handle the bandit subjugation.

"We appreciate your help, but isn't this too early?"

"See? Didn't I tell you? It will be inconvenient if we introduce ourselves as students. Why don't you just say you're the saintess of the Holy Kingdom?" Nathan whispered loud enough that the two soldiers could hear it.

"What?"

"Saintess?"

Serafina smiled wryly. "What are you doing? My identity as the saintess should be hidden. It's better to remain as a student."

"We… We…" The two guards froze and suddenly saluted. "We greet Your Holiness."

Sera waved her hand. "Be at ease. We are here just for the bandit subjugation request. If possible, can we enter the mansion?"

"This…" The two guards didn't know what they should do. On the one hand, they should let the saintess in. If the baron knew they had stopped the saintess, he might even kill them. On the other hand, it was still too early. The baron hadn't even woken up yet.

"Ah, I know it puts you in a difficult situation. Is there any servant still up? Maybe you can lead us to a room so that we can wait until the baron wakes up. Or, if not possible, how about waiting in the knight's quarters?" Sera asked with a sweet smile.

The two guards looked at each other before exchanging nods. "Please wait here for a moment. We'll inform the head maid."

"Please do." Sera nodded.

The two guards hurriedly rushed. Although it would be good to have one of them stand here, it would be too awkward. In fact, they might even die on the spot, as their hearts couldn't take it.

Once they left, Nathan smiled. "Your acting was quite good. Keep it up."

"Why are you even focusing on my acting?" She pouted.

"Anyway, this should be fine, right?"

"Yes." Nathan raised his head, finding Anubis on the roof. He was the smallest familiar, so no one would find her. Selena's familiars were also looking around, making sure there was no one spying on them.

After getting confirmation that no one spotted anything unusual, Nathan and Sera focused back on the matter.

As expected, the head maid was rushing toward the front gate with the two guards.

The first thing Sera did was to take out a holy cross with a golden circle behind it, symbolizing her status.

In that instant, the head maid, who was in her forties, turned pale. She almost had a heart attack.

"Your Holiness…" She panted a few times before lowering her head. "We are sorry for making you wait."

Sera shook her head. "It's fine. I'm in the wrong for suddenly barging in. However, due to my habit, I end up coming a few hours earlier than normal. I think the guards have told you about it…"

"Yes. Please come in." She extended her hand.

"By the way, you don't have to wake up the baron. If the baron gets mad about it, just tell him this is the saintess' request. This way, you don't have to be punished."

"Y-Yes." She didn't know what to say.

Before entering, Sera put her finger on her lips while winking playfully at the two guards. "By the way, don't tell anyone that we're here."

"Yes." The two guards nodded their heads furiously.

The head maid led them to a living room where the baron usually met his guests. She was still looking around, wondering what she should do in this situation.

As a result, Nathan asked, "No need to stay here. Maybe just bring us some snacks and tea."

The head maid looked relieved and immediately complied.

She just needed a reason to escape. After all, other than the baron, she would be the one who needed to meet the guests.

No one told her that the saintess would be the guest.

"It looks like everything is fine." Nathan chuckled. "If you don't send the maid away, she will die because of a heart attack, you know?"

"You're joking." Sera chuckled. "So, with this, we're clear?"

"Yep. The spies won't be spying on the entrance during this hour. In fact, only an insane bastard would come up with such an idea."

"Are you calling yourself an insane bastard?"

"I'm not denying it." Nathan shrugged.

"Anyway, the spies will most likely follow the people from the Duxia Academy. And they will confirm it when the three enter the mansion."

"But what are we going to do when we exit? We'll end up exiting at the same time, right?"

"We won't. Just follow my lead."

Since there was a lot of time left, Nathan spent it to discuss the plan, especially against the two strong summoners. After all, defeating a mature class alien was not a small feat. At the same time, it was not impossible for Nathan and Sera to take it down. After all, their respective Ena was already much higher, meaning the abilities they could unleash would be more powerful.

As Nathan expected, the trio from the Duxia Academy came a few hours later.

The sun was already up, as the people had begun their day.

They didn't realize that there was a man who looked like he was moving the crate from one place to another, but it turned out he had been observing them the whole time.

The guards had changed, so they inspected them like normal and allowed them to enter the mansion. Enjoy new stories from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net

After confirming it, the man walked into the small alley and released a pigeon with a small scroll attached to its leg.
