[Volume 4]: Chapter 76 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Baron Amelia!? Kash, Yarus, and the others looked on in disbelief, completely shocked to have encountered Baron Amelia! If someone else had been addressed as "Baron", there might have been a possibility of deception. But at this moment, the person standing before them is Fermain! Fermain, the captain of the guard stationed in Kames, always carried a huge black iron box on her back. Although this drew attention, her ordinary appearance and female identity did not initially impress the crowd upon her arrival in Kames. After all, the various small teams that could come to Kames were all skilled individuals that various families had expended energy and money to train. Even when compared to the elite soldiers trained by the Rosald royal family, there was no lack of ability. How could a mere woman dare to stand above them? It was a challenge and an insult. Moreover, both private guards, so what of the Baron family's guards? Merely finding a good master! Amid envy and jealousy, rationality took a backseat, and they began to head toward a path of self-destruction. Behind each small team were various families. When they set out, they had been instructed not to clash with the Baron family's private soldiers and to make way for them. But these people were not pampered nobles; they were guards who had faced countless life-and-death trials. Full of hostility. In the absence of family control, they only believed in the principle of respecting the strong. So even though they would not directly conflict with the Baron family's private soldiers, they did commit many underhanded actions behind the scenes. Among these, the actions against the captain of the guard, Fermain, were the most, full of malice. It began with small pranks, which, seeing Fermain's lack of retaliation, were gradually increased, like kneading dough at will, allowing the malice of these people to grow. Finally, they decided to ambush Fermain, intending to leave her with shameful wounds. To trample the name of the Baron family's private soldiers underfoot. The plan was carried out without any surprises and successfully captured Fermain's appearance. Then, the seemingly ordinary and weak Fermain chose to act. She drew the heavy sword from the sheath on her back and cut off their heads one by one. She then bound the heads of these lifeless bodies together, carried them in her hands, and rode back to the town. The blood dripped down until she stopped at the entrance to the town. Expressionless, Fermain hung the dozen or so heads at the entrance to the town. On that day, those who came back were almost scared to unconsciousness... Thus, the other small teams did not dare to continue their recklessness and instead acted obediently. Every time they saw Fermain, they acted like mice meeting a cat, eager to swiftly escape along the wall. The guards whose heads were severed by Fermain were not weaklings. On the contrary, they were quite competent. However, in the presence of a large number of people and with the element of surprise on her side, Fermain did not receive even the slightest injury. It can be seen that Fermain's strength is unfathomable! No wonder she could become the captain of the guard with a woman's body. From then on, every small team entering Kames, even if they did not know the mayor, had to know about Fermain, the captain of the Baron family's guard. Her nickname is "Beheading Madwoman." As for how to quickly identify her? Simple! Just look for the huge iron box behind her... no, it should be the black scabbard. It's one of a kind. There is no duplicate. It is rumored to be made of extremely rare materials, as Fermain was born with divine strength and could effortlessly wield the huge sword. Thus, the sword was crafted from rare materials. Even if it was not wielded, merely hitting someone with the heavy sword could flatten them directly. Now, the powerful Fermain, carrying the heavy sword, appeared and knelt in the direction of the carriage. An appearance of devotion, without a hint of discontent. Instead, her orange-yellow eyes were filled with an undisguised zeal. As if she were about to meet her long-admired idol. This caused Yarus to turn pale. He had never expected that his words would land him in hot water with the presence of the Baron! Suddenly, Yarus was full of thoughts of "This is bad! If it's really Baron Amelia or the lord of Kames, they can use the offense to keep us all here and execute us on the spot." Thinking of this, Yarus unconsciously clenched his fist and then looked at Kash. It was this guy who had been constantly advocating just now, leading him to get into such big trouble! Yarus's angry gaze did not attract Kash's attention. He frowned at the direction of the carriage, not expecting to coincidentally meet Baron Amelia. Kash's words of diverting disaster to the east just now were very pointed, and it looked like he couldn't wash his hands of it no matter what he said. Now, he could only pray that Baron Amelia would not hold a grudge and would not care about their petty actions! As for fleeing? Leaving aside the fact that he was severely injured, even with hundreds of guards rushing over, there was simply no escaping in full view of the public. There was absolutely no hope! Both Kash and Yarus, the captains of these two small teams, were so terrified, let alone the members standing with them. They were pale, and one of the timid ones even fainted on the spot. "It's fine." While Kash and the others were in a state of panic, a clear voice finally came from inside the carriage. Then, the door of the carriage opened from the inside, and a cute black-haired girl appeared in the sight of everyone. This caught Kash off guard, and he frowned. He remembered that the Imperial Red Rose had a stunningly beautiful appearance, not the girl who was currently in front of him, who had nothing to do with beauty at all. Not only Kash was confused, but even Fermain, who was kneeling, blinked her orange-yellow eyes in puzzlement. Indeed, it was Miss Baron just now. But who was the person in front of them now? However, the bewildered Ifia did not feel intimidated. On the contrary, she raised the corner of her mouth with satisfaction, arrogantly standing at the door, looking up to oversee the crowd, feeling so good about it~ (①wθ) Just before, Ifia was still hesitating whether to let Amelia get off the carriage to deal with these guys! In the end, Amelia coolly suggested not to worry about it, as this minor issue would soon be resolved. And then... The Baron family's private guard rode over. The situation immediately reversed. Those who had been glaring at the carriage just now shrank back like scared little birds. Ifia was feeling great about it, then convinced Amelia that she had to be the first to get off the carriage. Of course, Amelia wouldn't refuse, so Ifia began to act confidently. She specially looked at Kash and the others, feeling disdainful at their shrinking appearance. Ifia snorted disdainfully. Just a moment ago, they wanted to snatch their carriage. Now, it was too late to become sheep. Being satisfied by the astonished gazes of the crowd, Ifia was quite content. Afterward, she prepared to jump off the carriage first and then reached out to hold Amelia's hand, asking her to get off. As usual, Amelia reached out to her, very elegantly and handsomely~ It's just that Ifia forgot about her current attire, which was bound by many layers of clothing. This turned her attempt of a handsome jump out of the carriage into a straight fall. In an instant, Ifia, who had failed to act cool, already imagined the embarrassing scene of burying her face in the snow. And all in front of everyone. (@_g) But fortunately, just as Ifia fell, a hand reached out from the carriage and firmly caught her waist, preventing her from the embarrassing prospect of turning her face into the ground. "Be more careful." As Ifia let out a sigh of relief, Amelia's voice sounded with a sense of helplessness. Then, she let Ifia down, making sure both her feet touched the ground. Only then did Amelia leisurely make an appearance from the carriage. Although the temperature outside the carriage had dropped sharply, Amelia did not change her attire. Instead, she even took off her coat, wearing an unkind black dress while getting off the carriage. With her tall and slender figure, her beautiful curves were undoubtedly revealed. Her delightful face was full of indulgent expression. However, as her gaze shifted away from Ifia, she immediately changed to a different expression. Her purple eyes turned cold, exuding an overwhelming aura. Even the guards of the Baron family were held breathless, and quickly bowing their heads, they did not dare look at Baron Amelia again. Indeed, no matter how many times they saw Miss Baron, they dared not look directly at her! On the other hand, the guard Fermain, who was at the forefront, was not as fearful as the others. Her gaze toward Baron Amelia carried a fanatical admiration. This was the powerful figure she had vowed to follow! Throughout the Sis Empire, there was no one who could compare with Miss Baron! After Amelia had frightened most people, making them not dare to raise their heads, Ifia finally recovered from the embarrassment. Sigh, never acting cool again. But at least her ability to withstand pressure was full. After all, it seemed like she had been through many near-death experiences. If she didn't have a strong heart, she would have died long ago. TVT As long as she wasn't embarrassed, let others be! Though she was trying hard not to mind, Ifia didn't forget her original intention, turning her head to look at the panicking team blocking their way and quickly reaching out to pull Amelia's arm, signaling her to deal with these guys quickly. Encountering such a situation as soon as they arrived in Kames seemed to be a signal of future misfortunes! They had to use money to wash away the bad luck. Baron Amelia cooperated and turned to look at Kash and the others, and just one look made Yarus fall to the ground in shock. Yarus went pale, thinking about the demon plant in his arms and Count Scar who was still waiting. He bit his posterior hard to maintain his composure. He absolutely couldn't die here! The bitten gums began to bleed, which quickly brought about painful sensations, but Yarus did not pay attention to it. He stiffly stood up again, with stiff limbs, and immediately spoke to Baron Amelia: "My Lord, please forgive our rudeness!" If it were someone else, Yarus could offer compensation, begging to be spared. However, when the other party was Baron Amelia, he couldn't bring himself to speak up. Baron Amelia possessed everything. He was just a small guard and could not produce the bargaining chips the other party wanted. Even his master, Count Scar, was no different. So, for now, he could only do what was within his power and leave the rest to fate. Kash, standing nearby, was constantly pondering ways to resolve the situation. That fool Yarus thought a dry plea for mercy would be enough to be forgiven? Impossible! So, even before waiting for Amelia's response, Kash quickly interjected, "My Lord, Yarus has obtained a precious demon plant and we are willing to present it to you!" "!" Upon hearing Kash's self-imposed words, Yarus's eyes widened in shock. He had been about to retort but thought better of it. Now, handing over the demon plant might still save them, but if they resisted, they would surely die here. There was no way to fight back. They had to compromise. Although Yarus was loyal to Count Scar, he did not want to be futile. Faced with the established facts, it was better not to challenge beyond his limits. After all, he was placing his life as a bet. Therefore, Yarus fell silent, implicitly accepting Kash's words. As the word "demon plant" was mentioned, Fermain looked surprised at the two men, not expecting someone else to have located one. Their guard was basically unable to leave the town at will to find demon plants to maintain the safety and order of their territory, unlike other small teams. Fortunately, they had already received Miss Baron’s command, so they didn't need to worry about the demon plants. They just needed to protect Kames properly. However, as more and more teams entered Kames, more people were looking for demon plants, and they were forced to listen to a lot of unnecessary chatter. For instance, acquiring the demon plants could be exchanged with demons... Fermain was not interested in such matters. She preferred to steadily increase her strength instead of relying on the "gifts" of demons. The appearance of demon plants had caused infighting in the town recently, resulting in a lot of trouble for the resident guards, who had to collect many bodies every day. A troublesome lot! She preferred to sever the heads as trophies in a remote location from the town, allowing the remaining bodies to be taken by passing snow wolves and bears, avoiding trouble for others. At least, there was no need to clean up the bodies. As such, Fermain hoped that Miss Baron would accept the demon plant not only because it was very precious but also to avoid a bloody mess. However, contrary to Fermain's expectations, although Baron Amelia did not accept the demon plant, she looked at Yarus and Kash with a smile that was not a smile. "It's not of my interest. Nor do I blame you for aggressively stopping the carriage. However, you have violated the laws of Kames and need to be punished." "Stealing rare resources from Kames is a very serious offense. Therefore, if you wish to leave Kames, you not only have to submit the demon plant but also contact your employer to pay the fine." Having said this carelessly, Baron Amelia didn't even pay attention to the shocked expressions of Kash and Yarus, turning her head to look at Fermain and gesturing for her to rise. She then said, "Fermain, I want to rest. Let's head back soon!" "Yes, My Lord!" After giving the order to return, Baron Amelia, with Ifia, who was satisfied with the fine, got back into the carriage once again. This time, to prevent Ifia from being unable to climb into the carriage, she took the initiative to help. She reached out and lifted Ifia, raising the little chubby bird, then placed her inside the carriage. As Baron Amelia got on the carriage and remembered something, she looked at Yarus and the others once more. "Oh, and if you're interested in the demon plant, Kames town will soon host a special auction. The highest bidder wins." After speaking, she immediately boarded the vehicle and closed the door. As the coachman set off again, he gave a fierce glare at Yarus. As the carriage and the guard troop quickly departed, leaving a small team of guards to keep watch over the detention, Kash and Yarus looked at each other in astonishment. What was this situation? Were they really being let off the hook so easily? And as for the demon plant that was handed over, the highest bidder wins!!! An auction??? They had to quickly inform their master, no matter how much it cost, they had to get the demon plant!
