The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

She has never been afraid of anyone.

"Alright then, I'll trust Kiana this time."

Hearing Kiana's words, Emilia didn't say anything more, after all, she knew Kiana's strength. Even if she were in the Duke's hands, she probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

"Alright, Emilia, you can tell they're resting here now. I'll go find him now."

Kiana gave Emilia a few instructions, then headed off to another location.

Emilia watched Kiana's retreating figure, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Although she was Kiana's most valued friend and the candidate Kiana was temporarily protecting, she never truly understood this girl.

"Sigh, never mind, let's not think about it too much. I'll ask her after Kiana catches Mezas. If she's lying, hmph, I definitely won't let her get away with it."

Emilia muttered something, then walked towards the two unconscious girls.

"You two... perk up, I have something to ask you!"

Emilia squatted down in front of the two of them and coldly reprimanded them.

She knew who had sent these girls and why they had been captured, so she had to stabilize the situation as much as possible, as this was the best way to extract useful information.

Emilia's shout made Melly and Elsa open their eyes.

"Who sent you two?"

Emilia asked again.

"You know the answer already? Heh~ Are you trying to force me to reveal information about my employer?"

Elsa looked at Emilia with a nonchalant attitude, seemingly indifferent.

"You know the answer already? Shouldn't I be the one to say that? Since you already know, then tell me quickly where Mezas is! And what does he have to do with the witch?!"

Emilia's expression was very serious, and she didn't seem to be joking at all.

However, Elsa's face still held that nonchalant expression.

Emilia felt a sense of foreboding, realizing that this woman was not so easy to deal with and would definitely not confess easily.

Thinking of this, Emilia couldn't help but sigh.

Fine, let's find out first, no matter what. This can be considered a final test to protect Kiana and my own safety.

"I ask you, were you both sent by Mezas? What reward did he promise you? Money, status, or perhaps..."

Emilia asked again.

"Hehe~ You underestimate our professional ethics. We would never do something like that. But, about the witch... I can tell you, that strange fellow is actually the same as those followers~"

"What!?" Emilia was stunned and couldn't believe it was true.

"What? You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, then you can go and ask him yourself."

Elsa shrugged and said, "Anyway, we've already been captured by you. If you don't believe me, you can go find your Duke yourself, and then you'll get your own answer, won't you?"

Emilia fell silent upon hearing this.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she had to say that Elsa was absolutely right.

If Mezas is not brought back, then there is no way to be sure of his crimes, let alone bring him to justice.

Seeing Emilia deep in thought, Elsa breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she had convinced Emilia.

And while Emilia remained silent.

Kiana has also ventured deeper into the mansion.

The environment here was unusually eerie, and the air was filled with the stench of blood, a smell that Kiana found extremely repulsive. She frowned repeatedly, but she did not give up searching for Mezas.

Kiana stopped at a corner, for this was the last hiding place for Mezas.

Kiana carefully observed her surroundings, only to find that there was no one else besides herself, which brought a look of disappointment to her eyes.

Could it be that this guy has already escaped?

Kiana secretly guessed, but felt it was unlikely. After all, although the area was large, if Mezas chose to escape, he would definitely make a sound.

As of now, I haven't noticed any doors or windows being opened or anyone sneaking away.

What's more, this is his home.

Even if they were to leave, it should be me and Emilia, these two uninvited guests, who would leave, right?

Kiana's gaze fell on the tightly closed study door.

"Perhaps I can find him behind this door?" Kiana thought to herself.

After thinking it over, Kiana raised her hand and pushed towards the study door, but the door wouldn't budge and couldn't be opened at all, which made Kiana frown slightly.

Why is this door so heavy?

Could it have been reinforced with some kind of material?

If that's the case, then I'm afraid I won't be able to get in.

Kiana knew perfectly well that this Mezas was definitely a cunning fellow, and he would never leave any flaws so that she could find him easily.

Who knows what kind of trap might be hidden in the study?

Kiana turned and scanned the mansion's corridors, but found the layout to be very simple, without any other secrets. This made her frown even more.

It seems the only option is to force our way in...

Kiana reached out and drew the King's Sword, then slashed it at the study door.

"Swipe!"

With three consecutive sword strikes, Wang Jian cleaved open the study door as easily as cutting paper.

A small figure suddenly came into view, and Kiana looked closely.

It's Rem, the maid from the Honma mansion...

Kiana was surprised to find this girl in Mezas's room.

Rem was clearly surprised that Kiana would barge into Mezas's room, and she gasped in surprise. But then she remembered her duty and quickly covered her mouth.

However, at this moment, Kiana had already arrived beside her, stretched out her right hand, and grabbed at Rem.

Rem was startled by Kiana's sudden action and quickly backed away, but before she could react...

Wang Jian then pressed against her neck, and a chilling sensation instantly assaulted her body.

"No, no, don't kill me, please spare me, I, I don't know anything..." Rem cried out in panic, but her voice was cut short as her mouth was covered by a soft, white but powerful hand.

Kiana picked Rem up and walked deeper into the area. Rem was carried along by Kiana like a little chick, unable to utter a word of resistance.

"No, you can't kill me..."

Rem said with a mournful face, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry, I had no choice." After Kiana finished speaking, she grabbed Rem's hands behind her back and then took out handcuffs to lock them up.

Rem wore a pair of silver handcuffs on her wrists, which were specially prepared for her.

Because these handcuffs have extremely strong defensive capabilities, even if swords or knives strike their surface, they will not be damaged.

Therefore, under these circumstances, these handcuffs can provide almost the highest level of protection.

However, these handcuffs posed no threat to Kiana, as she was a demon and they were essentially useless to her.

Kiana quickly led Rem back to the corridor.

She gripped the handcuff chains to force the maid to follow her while questioning her in a slow, deliberate voice.

"Don't be afraid. I'm going to ask you some questions now, and you must answer me honestly. If I find out you're lying, then... I may not be able to guarantee your safety," Kiana said coldly, staring at Rem. Her tone was filled with icy coldness.

"Um, I... I wouldn't dare lie to you. Please don't kill me. I'll tell you everything I know..." Rem said with a mournful face.

Kiana nodded, then turned her gaze to Rem and asked, "Where's Mezas? Is that guy really a follower of the witch?"

"this...."

Rem lowered her head, trying her best to cover her face with her hands: "I...I don't know..."

"Huh? Is it that you don't know, or that you don't want to say?"

Seeing that the other party refused to confess, Kiana, feeling slightly annoyed, exerted a little force and reached out her hand, intending to punish him.

Just then, the sound of a meteor hammer spinning and flying towards them suddenly rang out.

With a whoosh, a meteor hammer covered in creepy spikes flew straight at you.

"Give me back Rem!!!"

Ram's voice was unusually shrill, and his hysterical state was astonishing.

'bump! '

A muffled thud.

Kiana caught the meteor hammer with one hand, and while marveling at the incredible strength this noble girl could unleash, she still managed to reply:

"Then we'll see if you have the ability to take it back!"

As she spoke, Kiana suddenly hurled the flail in her hand.

There was a crisp 'ding' sound.

The meteor hammer spun in mid-air before smashing a large hole in the wall next to Ram, and then...

A large section of the wall collapsed as a result, with the rumbling sound of falling bricks and stones echoing continuously.

Upon seeing this, Ram's pupils involuntarily contracted.

"This, this, how is this possible?"

At this moment, Ram was completely dumbfounded. She never expected that Kiana could possess such powerful strength.

If that blow had landed on me...

Just thinking about it sent a chill down Ram's spine, and her gaze towards Kiana began to betray a mixture of anger and fear...
