The problem was quickly resolved. We just faced head-on the people who were trying to attack us. Fortunately, these mercenaries were quickly subdued.
âIâm sure they said thereâs no mageâŚ.â
I tilted my head to him. âCanât you tell when you see one?â
Isaac behind me..murmured
âBecause you donât have mana stones.â
Oh, yes, I didnât. Come to think of it, mages in the mercenary corps usually carried stuff with large mana stones. It wasnât for show, it was actually what they needed in order to use magic. For ordinary mages, mana stones were almost essential, seeing that some of these guys were also carrying mana stones, I could tell that they were mages. In my case, I didnât need them, so that was why I didnât carry them around because they would just get in the way.
I looked at one of the kneeling mercenaries, and then imitated Abel, who usually enjoyed threatening.
âWho hired you?â
The mercenary flinched and closed his mouth tightly.
I stomped on his thigh. Hopefully, my heel would come in handy here.
âUgh..â
âWell, it doesnât matter. You attacked a noble, you would get punished anyway.â
At that moment, the mercenary opened his mouth. âWe just⌠we didnât know you were a noble.. We were just ordered to kidnap a rich girlâŚâ
âWhat were you going to do after the kidnapping?â
âWell, we were just trying to scare you a littleâŚâ
What a stupid lie this was. It was so obvious, even from the words kidnapping young miss.
âWho is the client?â
âI.. I donât know.â
I kicked the mercenaryâs waist. As long as the opponent aimed at me first, I didnât feel the need to be merciful in his hands.
âAlright, letâs see how many fingers you would still own until you tell me whoâs behind this.â
âWe.. we really donât know!â
âWellâŚ.â
The mercenaries had a very dimmed, unfortunate look.
In the end, I was wondering who was the hostile noble that had done this. Because this method to make me âafraidâ was too stupid. But they really did this. In the first place, these types of mercenaries were not loyal enough to protect their clients in a situation where their personal life was threatened.
âDid they pay well?â
âWell, compared to other requestsâŚ.â
I clicked my tongue. Then, I asked more questions about which guild they were from.
âWhat a fool. You should have thought more about whether the order was poop or gold.â
Having said that, I turned around. I heard a mercenary sigh in relief behind me. He thought Iâd just let them go.
âNot a chance.â
There had already been a death here. If I were weak earlier, I would have been beaten by them.
I whispered in the ears of Isaac and Liander after feeling that there was nothing more to gain from the scoundrels.
âTake care of them in moderation.â
As always, I didnât feel the need to show mercy when my opponent threatened me first. Besides, I was currently in charge of the entire population of Heilon Mansion. The risk factor could not be ignored.
If your heart was weak, you would suffer; if you were weak, you would die.
That was a fact that I had fully understood through years of experience. For me, if someone wanted me to treat them with kindness, at the very least there should be no hostility between us.
âYes, we understand.â
The two knights nodded as if it was natural.

It would be my loss if I were to drag on this sort of problem.
If the opponent was from the mercenary side, the countermeasure was simple. After the attack, I immediately went into action. After dragging a few more soldiers, I went straight to the guild where those mercenaries had been commissioned.
Among the nobles, the Duke of Heilon was a family that had close relations to mercenaries. As such, the mercenary guild obviously did not want to turn Heilon into their enemy. Even so, I was attacked.
BANG!
A knight opened the door of the mercenary guild building by kicking it. I loved this. Everyone was in perfect harmony. I now really felt like a boorish noble.
âWell, Iâm here to be a bully though.â
The inside of the mercenary guild was like a tavern.
âWha, whatâs this?â
The mercenaries, who had been drinking and chatting since daytime, jumped up from their seats.
I smiled.
âWhere is the guild leader?â
Several people rushed to approach me but were stopped by the knights. To be exact, they were knocked down.
DUG!
BANG!
The sound echoed through the guild for a moment.
ââŚ.â
Still, most of them were looking at me. They seemed to have noticed that my identity was not normal.
I said once more. âGuild leader.â
A mercenary with a tired expression on his face, pointed his finger upward.
Oh, they were upstairs.
It would have been better if they had understood the situation quicker.
I smiled favorably.
âThere was a lot of rudeness.â
ââŚ.â
Isaac next to me said quietly, âMiss, speaking formally doesnât change anythingâŚâ He really did mutter something like that.
I ignored it and went upstairs. The knights faithfully carried out my intentions even if I didnât say anything.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The knights smashed the doors menacingly, kicking them until they found the guild leaderâs room. As expected, these were really the people who have been with Abel for a long time.
âMiss, here he is.â said Liander.
I turned my head to see the office behind the broken door. A middle-aged man who appeared to be a guild leader was making a puzzled expression.
First thing first, I put a common sentence in my mouth since this was our first meeting,
âHello?â
