The Transmigrated Novelist

Chapter 225 - 225: Surprise And Trap

After quickly dealing with the guards at the door and robbing them of any valuable thing that they possessed, Roy quickly activated his camouflage once again, and disappeared in the night.

Now that Lady Fiona wasn't in this house, there was no purpose in staying in this house. Furthermore, this place was going to become bustling and unsafe due to the commotion he caused.

Whoever was keeping an eye on the house would most certainly come running to see what happened, especially since there was a chance of Amelia returning.

Surely the guy behind the scenes shouldn't have given up easily from that beauty. Not to mention that there was also the possible danger coming from the return of her father.

No matter what, he couldn't take this lightly. Even more so when the 10 guards that had died were actually killed with a sword and had traces of sword aura in their wounds.

This made the possibility of Amelia or her father returning much more probable, so that guy would be forced to show his face, or at least his servants today.

With those thoughts in his mind, Roy left the house but only to wait for the guy outside. With his camouflage that had been possible to escape even the senses of a Rank 5 Master like Boris, he was confident of himself.

In no time the guards raised the alarm, as more and more guards and experts crowded the Mansion, investigating and controlling through everything.

As he was staying outside waiting for his 'guest' to appear, Roy was actually thinking about this situation. There was something that he couldn't make sense of.

Why would the new wife of Earl Clark actually dare to take Amelia's mother away? Was she working under the orders of her husband, or someone else?

Furthermore there was also the disappearance of Alma's mother, and later her death. Could it be that they were related in some way?

The more he thought the more complicated everything became, so he decided to just stop thinking and firstly observe the situation around him.

Even though he had arrived in this City two weeks ago, there were still a lot of things that he didn't know and had to find out.

Nothing seemed to be as simple as it looked on the outside! This was the world of power struggle and high society. Full of lies, illusions, plans, and betrayals.

This was the first time that Roy was actually going through something like this, as even the old nerdy Roy whose body he took over hadn't truly participated in the games for thrones and power.

From now on, things were changing though as he had no other option but to get involved, that was if he wanted to be strong enough to fight his cousins when he returned.

The Illyrian Empire was the biggest, and the most developed country after all. In the eyes of even a guard of the Illyrian Empire, Badona City was nothing more than a small town.

He didn't have time to continue thinking about that though, as finally his awaited persona arrived, and surprisingly it was none other than Young Lady Aura.

'Just what the fu*ck!?'

This story was getting even more complicated. Why would she appear in this place, wasn't her new stepmother that had actually taken away Lady Fiona?

The beauty was unaware of his presence and thoughts though, as she entered inside and took a look at the situation around before leaving a small message under the sheets of the bed.

Roy didn't need to open the sheets to understand read the message, as it was actually only the name of a cheap inn, and a time, alongside a message 'I can help you'!

The date for the meeting was fixed after one week, during the night. It felt like an extremely covert meeting set up.

The moment she was over with that Young Lady Aura actually turned around without lingering around much, and then left the place.

No matter how longer Roy waited after her leave, no one else came to check upon the Mansion. It didn't matter as they had already had two clues.

One in form of the traitor old lady, and the second in form of a meeting with Young Lady Aura. Even though he didn't expect to entangle everything with those two clues, at least he should be able to gather more information.

Unable to find anything else interesting in this place, he had no other choice but to actually leave and return to the Sparrow Merchant Guild.

After what he did the other night, it seemed like the father-son duo had made a root change through their security. Not only changing the majority of them, but also tripling their numbers.

Just looking at these changes it made him sort of satisfied of his actions. But seeing the new security he even had the desire to break through and make it known that it was impossible to stop him.

Approaching the courtyard slowly he activated his 'sense area' to check the surroundings in order to make sure that there was no hidden trap, and then walked forward.

The area seemed clean, but he had a bad feeling, like something was missing, or wasn't seen. Still, no matter how hard he tried there was no sign of any trap.

Instead of making him feel safer, the fact that he was unable to find anything actually made him trust his instincts even more.

There was bound to be something wrong with his current situation. It was impossible for them to not prepare a surprise for the next day.

With those thoughts in mind, he slowly pulled back and reached the dogs house. While his camouflage was extremely good, the dogs were still able to notice his smell.

'Hamm…, Whoooff…, Whooofff~!'

The moment he approached they started whoofing to gather attention and inform the guards of the intruder, but since they were unable to see anything the guards got angry kicking and berating the dogs.

"Shut the hell up, stop making noise you damn dogs!"

The guard that was the closest even landed a kick in one of the dogs. It was clear that the guards were overly tensed, and fearful. Something bad must have happened.

Well, knowing the personality of Mr. Knight and his father it wasn't a wonder that blood and killing was involved, so Roy could understand the situation.

Still, without losing time he quickly poisoned the dogs shushing them down, and then biting his blood he drew a symbol on the biggest dogs head.

Since the dog didn't have much of a sentience then the blood slave seal was able to quickly penetrate his head and take place, furthermore his blood even purified the poison and its effect.

Like that, he now had another slave in his side, and while the dog wouldn't be able to perform high level tasks due to the lack of understanding it was easy to perform simple tasks.

Like for example, fetch!

'Clankkkk~!'

Cutting the rope of the dog and making it look like the dog had gone crazy and bitten the rope, he took a small branch from the ground and hurled it towards the courtyard, while ordering,

"Fetch!"

The dog seemed to have received an Imperial Edict, as he jumped out of the dog's house like he was possessed and made a run towards the branch.

While the windows were clearly fortified with Magic, Roy didn't forget to infuse the branch with his Warrior Essence as well, in order to break the window.

The sound clearly alerted the guards that run towards the window hoping that they would catch the intruder, but their actions clearly made the security on other areas lacking.

Especially the main door, which was also the point that the slave dog attacked. Benefiting from the startle and surprise of the guards at the main door, and their lack of will to kill the dog in one move, he broke through the door.

The moment he did so though, an electric formation suddenly raised from the ground, and not only electrified and trapped the dog at the entrance, but it even covered the whole house.

In a moment the whole courtyard looked just like some kind of thunderous cloud, that wouldn't allow even a small fly to pass beyond.

'Fu*ck!'

To think that Roy wanted to break through this building earlier and prove that he would be always watching these bastards!

If it weren't for his instincts and the lack of extra security around the house he might have actually been captured by this damned formation.

It was clear that the formation would work against any outsider entity, or most probably against anyone that didn't possess something that would bran him as internal.

What happened seemed to have alerted the whole courtyard though, and even the Merchant Guild in its entirety, while Boris and Mr. Knight appeared in a hurry full of bloodlust.

"Who is the bastard that dares to enter our house!?"

"I will make sure that you live a dog's life!"

Hearing those two, Roy could barely control his laughter. After all, the ones that they were sending those words to was nothing more than a dog.

The poor Boris got pissed and enraged the moment that he realized what had just happened, as he couldn't help but scream at the guards around the house.

"You bastards! Why do we pay and feed you? You aren't even able to block a dog from entering the house and activating the formation!

You lowly pieces of trash, I will make sure to send you after the dog if you don't have a valid excuse!"
