Chapter 11
“Who are you trying to discipline now?! I saved the damn thing on the street and now I’m acting funny?”
His strong hands grabbed her by the neck and shoved her roughly against her wall.
Diana sensed something unusual about him and sprinted. From the man’s voice, a more and more serious issue emerged.
“Do you really want to die at my hands?”
“You won’t stop doing this even if I die. You will…”
“Let’s see!”
In the end, it was the moment when the man could not control his anger and grabbed the vase lying on one side and was about to throw it at the woman.
Whoosh-
A purple line was suddenly drawn in the air, and the man’s neck flew away.
The woman covered in blood opened her mouth, but she was stunned a little later.
“Woah!”
The woman was startled and screamed.
With a thump, a heavy sound, the man’s large body and head rolled in a puddle of blood.
Diana reflexively used her powers in a rush and walked up to the woman.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh, uh…”
The woman staggered back, frowning, with her face pale and tired of the sight she had just witnessed.
In the end, Diana saved her life, but it was the usual reaction of anyone who witnessed someone’s neck being blown off in front of their eyes.
The elbow of the woman who reached the dead end lightly touched the frame hanging on the wall.
“Oh, wait…”
The woman was surprised and hurriedly moved her arm away.
But that was after the trap hidden behind the frame for preventing intruders was launched.
Countless poison needles and arrows flew toward Diana.
‘She’s going to die!’
The woman closed her eyes tightly after seeing Diana widen her eyes round for the last time.
One step later, fear retreated and guilt came.
Anyway, her opponent was the one who saved her life from that bloody man.
However, the trap triggered a while ago was difficult for even an intermediate spirit to easily prevent.
Because of her silly mistake…
“Excuse me.”
‘Hmm?’
Muzel, the woman, opened her eyes wide, wondering if she was hallucinating.
Then, worried blue-purple eyes came straight into view.
“I don’t think you were breathing for a minute.”
Diana said anxiously.
Recognizing that she had been holding her breath, Muzel hurriedly took a breath.
“What is this…”
As soon as the breathing returned to normal, sighs were mixed with words that came out.
Muzel looked at the scene in front of her with an absurd face.
There were piles of poison needles and arrows cut in exactly half on the pool of blood.
Diana, standing in the middle, looked unhurt.
“A monster…?”
Muzel muttered without realizing it, then immediately flinched and shut her mouth.
Diana, who had been silent for a while, soon lowered her gaze and spoke softly.
“I can’t explain it exactly, but it’s not a monster. Rather, I saved your life once, and you almost killed me a while ago, so I want you to keep this a secret.”
Diana smiled brightly.
“Can’t you?”
It was like a silent threat to shut up if Muzel wanted to live.
But Muzel was not offended at all. In the first place, there was nothing wrong with Diana’s words.
Rather, she almost killed her even after she was saved, so she deserved to express her gratitude from her side.
Pls read only at pink muffin tl.
Muzel apologised politely, trying not to pay attention to the horrors under her feet.
“I’m sorry, but I heard that the appearance of mutated monsters has become more frequent these days, so just in case…”
“It’s okay.”
‘This is when the mutated monsters started appearing?’
Diana smiled lightly but tilted her head.
Before the return. Rebecca, as the empress, would occasionally lead the Knights to deal with the monsters.
It seems that it was around this time that the number of monsters appeared more frequently, and even variant monsters appeared, so the numbers overall increased rapidly.
Meanwhile, while Diana was troubled, Muzel observed her thoroughly.
‘I’ve never heard or seen anything like this.’
Obviously, it was rude, but it wasn’t unreasonable that Muzel mistook Diana for a monster.
As Muzel is the deputy guild leader of the information guild, it was her job to see and hear everything.
Even she has never heard of rumors that there was a person with this much power.
‘I have to catch her here.’
It was an instinct.
Muzel felt the same way as when she first discovered a great investment destination.
The woman in front of her was an unusual variable.
When faced with such variables, there were usually two actions taken by Muzel.
The first is to erase them neatly as if trampling them.
The second is to build friendly relationships faster than anyone else.
Usually, her mind is tilted in the first way, but Diana’s force was clearly confirmed with her eyes a while ago.
It seemed that it was far-fetched for Muzel to try and kill her with her powers.
Then, isn’t there only one option left?
“I have to pay back what I owe anyway. That’s not a bad idea.’
Muzel finished all her judgments and lost her expression.
At that time, Diana, who shook off her thoughts, recalled her original purpose and spoke to Muzel.
“By the way, I’m here to request something. Can I pay with jewels?”
“No. You don’t have to pay for it. Let’s continue.”
“…What?”
Diana was embarrassed and asked back.
Then Muzel smiled brightly and shouted with her arms open.
“It may be out of the blue, but I’d like to invite you as the head of the Wings Guild to repay your kindness!”
This was the best Muzel came up with.
She owes her life and saw things she shouldn’t have seen.
To ask such a person to give her money was like saying, ‘cut my throat’.
How to preserve Muzel’s own life and information guild wings and at the same time was to buy Diana’s favor.
It was to make Diana the new guild leader of the Wings.
If she can’t beat someone who will be a threat in the future, it’s safest to go under someone.
Seeing that she saved and worried about Muzel in danger, her character doesn’t seem to be very bad.
“I’m the head anyway… No, now you’re the head of the guild. Even if you didn’t kill him, I would have killed him. He keeps trying to do dirty things to the guild’s young members…”
Muzel showed signs of contempt.
Only then did Diana understand that Muzel had become the guild leader of the Wings before returning.
‘Originally, in the same situation as before, Muzel didn’t die and became the head. I guess she killed him anyway.’
In the meantime, Muzel eagerly added when Diana did not answer.
“You are like a savior to me and the Wings Guild members. Please give me a chance to return your favor.”
“Hmm…”
Diana groaned awkwardly.
To be honest, Muzel’s proposal was so tempting that it seemed like a windfall.
‘Originally, I tried to build power by creating a camouflage status.’
If Diana takes over the Guild Wings, she won’t have to put so much effort into it.
In addition, she can get a competent subordinate called Muzel.
‘But I have to enter the imperial palace soon…’
If she stays in the imperial palace, she will not be able to perform her duties smoothly as the head of the Wings guild leader.
In addition, originally, Muzel would have been a guild leader on her own, even if she was not saved by Diana.
Nevertheless, Diana became hesitant because she wondered if it was right to take this golden opportunity.
As Diana’s silence grew longer, Muzel pulled out the secret card she had been hiding.
“If it bothers you, I can handle the actual guild leader’s work. You can just use Guild Wings to your heart’s content.”
“I’ll do it.”
Her change of heart was quick.
When she said that she would treat her like an honorary guild leader, Diana quickly accepted her offer.
The amount of money that went into creating her undercover identity was enough to rob her of all her emergency funds she had saved up.
In the future, she will not be able to use the Wings Guild very often, and she said that if she doesn’t have to pay for each time, it’s a great deal for Diana.
It will take a lot of money just to solidify Cayden’s power.
“Thank you! Then, shall we write a contract that includes the details of confidentiality? I’m sure it’ll be reassuring.”
Muzel smiled broadly at Diana’s confirmation and clapped her hands.
She asked friendly as she rummaged through her desk looking for a contract form.
“By the way, I don’t even know the name of the new chief. If that’s okay with you, could you tell me your name? I’m Muzel.”
“Ah, that’s right. I’m Diana Susfield. I wish you the best in the future.”
“…What?”
Muzel bit her tongue.
