Chapter 16: Preparation to Take Down Sloth

It take about almost an hour for me to find the mark I left and manage to go back to the village. It supposed to be faster however I decide to take my time because seriously, I need it, like really need it

I... Simply can't rush things. Not in my mental state. I need a break, I don't care if it risky but it was really necessary. I can't recheck my plan with my mind disturbed so I decide to clear my head first

Doing nothing but stare at the sky with blank mind seems working for me. At least I'm not as bad as one hour ago so...

It wasn't long before I can tell I'm getting close to the village because the forest, the road and the tree around me now started to become familiar

"Hm?"

I narrowed my eyes when notice there silhouette not far from me, just around the entrance of the village, my hand instinctly twitched, fingers flexed and ready to draw Excalibur if it spy from Witch Cult. Petelgeuse won't notice if one of his scum missing and I don't want to have one of lunatic close to village that I personally know

However when I focused my eyes further I caught glimpse of blue hair and I blinked when notice the figure is certainly familiar

It was...

"Aaron-sama!" She called from afar when notice me

Rem

"Rem." I called back while fastening my pace and approach her, I briefly observe my surrounding keenly and make sure my hearing and sense sharpened to make sure no one spying on us. Finding none I focus back to her "What are you doing in here? I-"

"Nee-sama has told us everything." Rem cut me with grave look "Witch Cult going to attack Emilia-sama and so we had villager ready to evacuate anytime, they now already pack their stuff. Does Aaron-sama manage to get what he wish from the Witch Cult?"

Unlike her sister -I hold back flinch when hear she mentioning Ram name- that talk to me with distrust and cold voice yesterday, Rem voice was sincere, genuine, she truly believe in me, there no any ill and hostile intention in slightest

And knowing all of that it make me feel more guilty

I should be yelling at her right now, angry that she told Ram about what happened in city and my assault to Roswaal, angry that she basically ruin my relationship with Ram.

And if it was me who from one hour ago standing in front of her, I would do that without hesitation

Thankfully I already calmed down a bit and not letting my emotion blind my mind anymore

Yes, what she did is indeed bad for me but at same time I can't blame her since she only did what is right from her perspective

No matter how close I am to them it doesn't change the fact that it was Roswaal who save them in that fiery night. It was Roswaal who pick over them, taking them under his care, nurturing them, funding them, protecting them. Even if he have his own agenda by doing that but it doesn't change all he did is saving them

So of course it was her duty as his maid and as Ram's little sister to told her what happened in Capital, I practically threatening their master after all

"Good." That was the only thing I can said right now "Let's go back to the manor, I will explain everything in there."

"Aaron!"

The moment he stepped into the mansion he saw silver blur coming to his direction, so fast it is as it make him thought that the blur going to struck him. Fortunately the 'silver blur' stopped only few inches from him and he found his hand suddenly moved up
