Chapter 68: Emma's a Tease
\'Damn bitch, teasing me for so long only to remind me of the man I hate.\' Scott thought in his mind as she realised Emma\'s intentions.
She was only teasing him for fun, her actions were ill intentioned. Since, Rae was not at all moved by her advances, she was trying it out on him.
Scott had become friends with the group in the first year of the academy itself, it was his third year at the moment. He had understood the basic characteristics of the people in his friend circle.
Emma for example, she was an attention whore. It did not matter to her where and when, she just wanted to be the one who\'s the centre of attraction.
She was a swordsman but her background was more impressive than her strength of a level three warrior.
Her father, being a merchant had connections with, Erica\'s family, the Duke family. That relationship was also a major factor for Emma\'s competitive spirit, because she was always compared against a monstrous prodigy Erica.
\'Poor fellow, he doesn\'t even bother to improve his strength and skills, but feels jealous of the attention someone else gets.\' Emma looked down on Scott.
They were friends in names only, it was her job as a child from an influential merchant family to make a few connections here and there with noble families.
A job she enjoyed a lot. But there were certain people she did not like, she wanted a certain amount of gap with them. Although in the process, she did not want her relationship to cause the merchant deals to worsen.
Scott was one such guy to her, he was in her friend circle from the beginning. A part of the group which she hanged around with.
He was good in ranks of the academy but the drive and charisma that Rae had could not be beaten and suppressed by him.
Also, the fact that Scott did not bother to train and was always sensitive and jealous when she prioritised Rae over him, felt really pathetic to her.
She wanted to tease him like a pet dog before keeping him under her control and what better way than to use his lust.
"But you would want to appreciate my dress for a while, won\'t you?" Emma asked in a coquettish manner
Scott looked at her, his mind understood what was going on and the intentions of Emma but his poor brain was forced to comply with his urges.
He nodded with weakness as he kept staring at Emma for her next step. From the way she spoke, he knew it that the night was going to be long and fun.
"Hehe, what do you think, does it look good like this?" She lowered her blouse from one of shoulder. The blouse was only stuck on one of her arms while the other side showed her fair skin.
"Or this one looks good, what do you think?" Emma asked as she pulled down the straps on both the sides of her blouse.
Almost half of her bouncy breasts were clearly visible to Scott, he was staring at them, speechless from Emma\'s moves.
To him, it seemed as if he could see the blouse falling down on the ground due to gravity any second.
Though Emma being the baddie she was, she did not let Scott enjoy it for longer than the initial few seconds.
"Oh, it seems that the time for the change of shift is now, let\'s go ahead and wake them up." She yawned as she went in the direction of the camp, ready to wake up Jeremy and Freya for their turn to stand guard.
"Yes, it\'s time." Due to the lack of time to assess a proper response for Emma\'s questions, he could only respond with a simple yes.
Unfortunately, by that time she was already prepared to wake up Jeremy and Freya.
"Ohh, it\'s our turn. Alright, you guys can rest now." Jeremy said as he was woke up by Emma.
Far away in a valley
"You should have stopped following me, after I proved myself innocent. It is no use, except for the fact that each time we meet you loose many men from your ranks."
A man covered in black from head to toe arrogantly said to the tens of people in front of him. They were blocking his way with weapons in their hands.
"That\'s not the fact and you too know it. We were close to arrest you last time, you just barely escaped from us due to the circumstances."
"As for the matter of you being innocent, that would be settled in the Royal court. But the aura on your body is in no way saying something likely close to you are innocent."
"And if you are really that innocent, then you being a former noble, know the procedure of the Royal court. Just accept being arrested and come with us." Erica said, she was up against a strong devil accused of many massacres.
"It seems that the battle is inevitable." The old man had a war hammer in his hands. The aura around it was eerie and murderous red.
He swung around the hammer with one hand, as if he was swinging a child\'s toy. Though the sound from air being split by those random swings said otherwise.
"Do you really want to take me on? You realise that your fame that has spread was meant for the newer generation, when compared with someone like me, it\'s not the same thing. A new swordsman like you wants to fight me and win against me. Haha"
"I do not want you to loose your life over this petty politics." The old man sighed.
He believed it was unfair for the young girl to bear such burden. She was confident and really proud of her skills, which was a good thing.
Her age and abilities were really something to be proud of. But this was different, her being a level three warrior wouldn\'t save her from dying.
"Let it be then." The old man said, as he had finally decided to take them on alone, around two dozen warriors from the Royal forces, the devil hunters were up against him.
The devil hunters did not charge at him wildly. They were cautious and maintained the distance of a few meters between them.
The old man swung his war hammer, not at a person but on the wall of the valley. A loud doom sound reverberated , before a cracking sound began sounding in the bottom of the valley.
