Knight Diana and Thief Akko story idea from NoviceArtist

Akko POV...

"Come back here you damn brat!" the middle aged man yelled as he chased me around franatically kicking a few of his already unconscious bodyguards -thanks Sucy- but I'm already near the exit.

"Thanks for your donation kind sir." I grinned before jumping down his balcony. I got caught by my dear accomplice but she then dropped me.

"Lets get moving idiot." she said getting hold of one of the bags filled with riches.

*-*

"Lets see, all the guards were knocked out. The nobleman was a fat old geezer, and yet this is all you got?" Sucy sighed looking at the bags.

"Yeah but he had nothing of value in plain sight. I even looked behind canvases and vases and inside books. Everything! But that old man had nothin'!" I huffed.

"Look if the problem is the lack of loot then we can always raid the royal carriage. I heard the king was gonna head out of town to meet with a neighboring kingdom near sundown tomorrow. Since he is such a flashy man he will for sure be filled of gold from head to toe." I grinned already imagining the many riches we could obtain.

"Well if he's leaving, why don't we also go to the castle." Amanda smirked as she took out a piece of paper and quil.

"I can whip up some more of that knock out gas." Sucy grinned as she skimmed through her collection of mushrooms. "Well I guess we will split in two groups." Lotte mumbled.

"Lotte, Cons, y'all are in charge of planning." Amanda said as she separated gold coins and jewles.

"By the way Akko, how did you even know the King was gonna be heading out." Amanda suspiciously asked before reaching towards another bag.

"Well I have a few sources." I grinned. Amanda frowned. "Are they trustworthy sources?" she asked. I laughed. "It was announced around the whole kingdom. You can check if you want to." she just waved me off and continued with her counts.

*-*

"I think we're ready." Amanda mumbled as she fixed my mask. Lotte took some dirt and rubbed it on her face. Her tattered clothes made her look like a serf.

It was close to sundown, since there are only two possible roads to take out of the Kingdom.
Cons was in charge of keeping a lookout near one of the roads, Jans stalking near the second one.
M

e and Lotte were hidden on each side of the road which Constanze was keeping a lookout. Lotte hid in the bushes and me on the trees. Amanda and Sucy had the other with Jans. All we had to wait for was a colored arrow: red means there is no carriage and blue means there is.


We waited and waited. I ended up staring to count all the flowers around me.

"You are awfully suspicious sitting here in all black and a mask." I flinched as a woman's whose voice I am familiar with said. She was the trusted knight of the king, Diana Cavendish.

I laughed awkwardly.

"Well when you put it that way. I guess it is pretty suspicious." I said in a low tone in hopes that she wouldn't recognize me.
