Lumiere's POV
The guard caught his breath. "He just killed the spies! All three brothers!"
I teleported to the gate instantly.
A blond man stood with his sword drawn, wearing blood-stained armour identical to the human knight Duke Desmond and I had met at the cave.
These Sins were truly going rogue. Did they not care about the truce? Spotting me, he charged, sword stretched toward my chest.
Mana engulfed my wrist, and with a flick, his body slammed to the ground. Johan pinned him with one leg, keeping a sword at his neck.
Janeya and the guard had also arrived. She rushed to the spies' corpses at the gate. They had small slits under their necks. It was a quick death.
I returned my eyes to the human knight who no longer resisted. Did no one see him? How could he have killed them before anyone noticed?
"He is a mage, as well."
"Even if," I said to the guard, "this happened too quickly. He must've had very clear orders."
