"I apologize deeply for my friend's behavior, Lady Emily!" Kara bowed at the waist.
Emily Sparks was personally a 4-8 noble, not to mention that the Sparks family was a 3-1 noble family. She far outclassed the poor Kara. Kara was definitely embarrassed, but she was more worried about what they would do to Phina. Nobility were strictly not allowed to kill other nobles without taking a War Order from His Eternal Majesty's palace in the capital of Peace, Heaven. Yet the problem was Phina's status. She was not a noble from what they knew. She was also not exactly an Enforcer yet. Her power and uniform are hers, but she cannot remember her training, so could she really be considered an Enforcer?
"Just get her out of here." Emily smirked slightly.
"I'm sorry." Phina said to Kara as she was pulled along.
"Don't worry about it, just move." Kara whispered.
As they were moving, Emily turned to a servant and whispered. Her whisper was not audible to anyone...except Phina. Phina's body had a weird habit. Her senses of smell, sight and hearing were always being boosted by World Energy. Emily whispered, "Hire a bunch of thieves to rob their carriage, but make sure they don't kill them. We'll be in trouble if Kinus dies, but they can have fun with her."
Phina stopped walking. Kara turned to talk to Phina, but she was frightened when she saw Phina's face.
Rage. Pure unfiltered rage.
'What a weird situation. It will take a while for the party to continue nor-' Emil looked at Phina in a slight fear. 'That was Killing Intent! It was small and it was only there for a second, but I definitely sensed Killing Intent!! She is ready to kill someone here!!!'
He then followed Phina's line of sight. She was looking at...Emily!! He immediately rushed to Phina, who was currently being lightly held by Kara. Finally, Kara's grip was let loose. Just as Phina was about to take her first step, Emil stood in front of her.
"Let's...all...calm down...okay?" Emil said between breathes. Emil knew he was not an opponent for Phina. As the heir to the Sparks family, he was trained to recognize Killing Intent, since a small slip up from any capable assassin would release Killing Intent. Although he was trained to locate Killing Intent, he couldn't produce his own Intent, making it almost impossible for him to stand before her, let alone fight her. Phina turned to him, her slight Killing Intent resurfaced when face to face with Emil. It was a force on Emil. It wasn't strong to the point where she could suffocate him at will. It was just something uncomfortable. It was very distracting to Emil. If he faced anyone that knew how to wield a weapon under this uncomfortable feeling, he would definitely lose.
"Move." Phina said with a chill in her voice.
"Let's all calm down. This must be a misunderstanding!" Emil said in a whisper. "We're just kicking you out, it's not enough reason to kill my sister!"
"The bitch wants to hire some people to kill me and my friend. She also wants them to rape Kara." Phina looked at him. The similarity between his face and Emily's irked her.
"What?!" Emil said aloud. Emily heard her brother and rushed to his side. She immediately pointed a finger at Phina. "Didn't I tell you to leave?! Kinus! Get your rabid dog out of here!!"
She then leaned to Phina and whispered, "Stay away from my family or I'll make, not only your life, but all your friends' lives hell."
Phina's hand went at speeds that neither Emil nor Emily could react to.
Ugh!
"What...are you...doing..." Emily asked as she was being held in the air by her neck, her vision going blurry.
One of the people who were in Kara's group, Heather Frye said, "Enforcer Seraphina, please have mercy on the young Lady Sparks!"
Heather was reaching her 50s. She was one of the older nobles in the party as most of them were young people making connections and hanging out. The older ones there had a very clear purpose, "Make sure no one young does anything stupid"! The reason for them being there was precisely Enforcers. While the nobles ruled the non-nobles using The Garrison, His Eternal Majesty ruled the nobles using the Enforcers. Of course, the Enforcers cannot just go on a killing spree without punishment. Yet every noble, especially the young, knew about one peculiar fact. Any Enforcer, no matter the rank, can kill any noble below the age of 21. No one knows why this rule was made, but it is theorized that many young nobles went on to bully peasants into obedience with their status. The older ones were above such acts and the young ones would never act as such with the older nobles around. The Enforcers' were given the authority to execute any young noble as they saw fit. They had to deal with a court appearance afterwards, but they would usually get light punishments if they killed wrongly based on moral rules rather than His Majesty's laws.
"Enforcer? A fucking Enforcer?!" Emil cursed underneath his breathe. Emil pulled out what looked to be a pocket watch. He clicked the button and it opened, revealing a mirror inside. A man who looked to be in his 40s was on this mirror. The man started speaking, "Emil? What's going on? I'm busy."
"Father, revoke Emily's noble status!" Emil immediately turned the watch to the scene before him.
Luke Sparks, Lord of the Sparks Family, was confused by the scene. It looked to be a woman in a red dress holding his daughter by the neck. He was hesitant to revoke his daughter's status, but he trusted his own son's judgement. "I, Luke Sparks, as Lord of the Sparks family, revoke Emily Sparks' noble 4-9 status!!"
"Great, now I can kill her without much of a hassle." Phina didn't know what that meant, but the person she was trying to kill now was not a noble.
"What?!" Emil looked on with horror. Usually revoking nobility would stop the Enforcer due to the nobles not having the authority to do whatever they did again.
"Phina, relax!!" Kara finally held Phina. "She's not a noble anymore! She doesn't have the money to hire anyone!"
Phina looked at Kara. She seemed to finally realize how horrible of a position she put Kara in. "I-I get it. Fine. I'll let you go."
She threw Emily to the ground. Emily immediately started coughing and gasping for air.
"T-Thank you." Emil said as he held his sister. Phina could've easily abused her authority to execute this peasant right here with absolutely no consequence.
Emily was not as appreciative. She started shouting, "YOU BITCH!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD I WORKED?!"
Emil's heart dropped in fear.
SLAP!!
"Huh?" Emily stared into blank air as she looked at her brother who just slapped her.
"Enough, peasant!" Emil looked at Emily with a pained expression.
Emily seemed to get the memo. Phina looked at her with a smile, then looked to Jack and Kara. "Let's go."
