The Villainess only wants to go home

Chapter 35 - Escape

With a flash, both soldiers came toppling down, their lifeless bodies lay in their own pools of blood.

"Two down, 3 more to go" she said with a glint of excitement. "Are they dead?" Homura peeked his head out from his trembling body. "Why are you so scared. You kill birds and rodents for a living" she sheathed her Katana back.

"That's a completely different story"

"No, I'm pretty sure they are the same" Artemis stated her attention focused on the little fox.

"Yet it's a sin for you humans to kill each other just like it is with ours." He said. She rose an eyebrow at in wonder. "God will punish you"

When his words reached her ears, the thought of men screaming and telling her to go hell as they tried to pull her down to hell with their skeleton like hands stained with blood.

Immediately two soldiers came running up, their metal armour rang as they ran up.

Artemis snapped out of the memory and looked up at the two soldiers staring at her in shock.

"How?" one said in horror while the other gritted his teeth and charged at her with his sword held high. "AHHHHH!" he attempted to swing at her but Artemis

She didn't need to look to attack, slid to the side and grabbed a hold of the sword. The soldiers eyes widened in horror when the handle of his blade was grabbed instantly by the lady of Glacies.

"Impossib-" he didn't get to finish he sentence when an incoming kick collided with his cheek sending him to the wall. He hit with a grunt.

The other one stepped back in horror staring at the woman that was not supposed to know no sort of battle fights. He saw a glimpse of her under the hood, a grin hiding a killer instinct within.

"Your turn" she said then to run towards him, the man stumble back in fear but was kicked by a force down the stairs. He went rolling down with a bang and his unconscious body stopped in front of another soldier.

Artemis stood on the second floor, looking down at the last soldier and the man stared back with a glare. She recognised quickly. 'Thomas Lupin' the strongest knight from the Glacies household. He was the greatest swordman who trained the crown prince himself. He was titled commander of the knights but retired to work with the loyal master he worked under for years.

He stood there, blond hair slicked back, deep blue eyes firmly glared at her and his well-built physic under the heavy metal armour.

"Diana what a surprise" he said in a thick and threatening accent.

"Who knew the trashy daughter of the duke knew how to fight" he pointed his blade at her.

Thomas heard the fox howl at her, and she returned his call with a whisper. 'Can she understand that dog? Tch impossible only creatures of the forest are able to'

"Diana it's impossible to fight me. Come down and return to back to the mansion. Your father is very unhappy with your flee" he said.

Diana clicked her tongue, leaping on to the banister and running down silently surprising the commander. She launched herself towards him.

He smirked. "Stupid woman, don't you realise that was a pathetic move' he thought blocking her fast-incoming foot with his blade within a mere second. 'Tch, that was close, a second too late I would have foot's mark on my face for the rest of my life'

A smile mischief crossed her face. 'Fool the kick was just a diversion' twisting her body to the left she hurled her other foot in the air and kicked his face with her shins.
