The 10 Legendary Swords
Paying the Debt

"Caroline!"

Masket ran up to Caroline and hugged her, it had been 6 months since they separated and she felt guilty for not being able to protect her own sister.

"Now you're safe while you're under my watch ... And for them..." Arav looked at the dozens of soldiers who were terrified after witnessing his strength firsthand.

"If you don't mind ... I'll take care of the rest ..."

Maya volunteered to silence those who knew her employer's identity, instantly removing a weapon once she got permission.

"I'll help!" Chika also had similar intentions, standing beside Maya while carrying a firearm.

The incident on that afternoon was like the condition of the battlefield because of the many casualties, until the bodies of dead soldiers filled the place.

As it was almost late in the afternoon, Arav and the group decided to head for the city. But what happened afterwards was beyond her expectations when Clara approached her.

"Where have you been?! Mr ... As you guessed that ..." He stopped talking as Avan Ariville was suddenly behind him.

"It looks like Duke and Miss Marisaa are enjoying this suburban vacation a lot ..." Avan Ariville said hello, but there was a small frown on his forehead.

"I heard the view of Garlet is very beautiful in the afternoon ... So Marisa and I went around the edge of town ..." Arav secretly gives his mark to Maya while giving orders.

The girl understands Arav's intention to take Caroline to where he's been told to, while Masket is seen trying to divert attention as she embraces Arav's arm.

Arav scratched his head, "It looks like Marisaa is a little exhausted after a day of touring the city ... If you are interested ..."

"Of course ... The butler will escort Miss Marisaa into her room ..." Avan Ariville called out to the butler at his residence and told the middle-aged man to escort Masket to the place ordered by Clara.

The conversation between Arav and Avan Ariville had felt somewhat awkward ever since the middle-aged man let out a cold smile.

"It looks like this old man doesn't know my movements ..." Arav muttered as he walked into the residence.

None of them started the conversation while in the hallway, but the arrival of a soldier made Avan Ariville frown as her subordinates whispered something right beside her ears.

"Oh, so they're dead ..." The middle-aged man let out a long sigh, "Tell the entire army to stop the search! And focus on facing Duke Ariville's troops ..."

"I didn't expect Uncle Avan to actually withdraw his troops and make it easier for me to handle this matter ..." Arav muttered before continuing his footsteps.

He could clearly hear the conversation, although Avan Arivile spoke in a soft voice, he could understand what the middle-aged man meant before putting on a faint smile. After it was felt that his affairs had been completed, Arav chose to go to his bedroom.

"Master is back?"

Masket approached Arav when the young man opened the door.

"Why are you in my bedroom?" Arav frowned because to his knowledge, the girl should now be in her bedroom respectively.

"Is Young Master tired? Lie ... Let me serve you today ..." Masket was not without reason to be different to Arav because he had repeatedly saved her, so she felt indebted and planned to pay him in any way.

Arav without a word followed Masket's advice, but what followed was unexpected when the girl did the same thing, lying on the same bed with him.

"Master need not be surprised ... Let's just say this in return from me for saving Caroline from them ..." Masket turned her back while closing her eyes, not looking directly at Arav's eyes, "And ... If master doesn't mind, you can ask me to do this every day ..."

Masket this time immediately intended to sleep after saying the sentence, immediately on Arav's cheek there was a red color that immediately disappeared after the young man turned his body.

"Hmmm ... Young master! I should have served you yesterday!"

Arav rubbed his eyes, looking a girl grumbling in annoyance as he looked at her.

"Clare? You ..." He stopped talking as Masket also woke up to the noise.

"Master, what's the noise in the morning?" Masket fell silent, before being completely taken aback by Clare's presence in the room.

"Anyway, sir should also let me sleep in bed with you!" Clare said without the slightest embarrassment.

Tok Tok Tok

Suddenly the Maya hurriedly came after opening the door, surprising them at the news she delivered, "I report, Avan Ariville intends to deploy about thirty thousand troops to storm the city of Arnet! Most of them are Vinterm mercenaries!"

"It's quite surprising that uncle was reckless to do that after getting a large amount of troop reinforcements ..." Arav stroked his chin.

Clearly because his overly calm demeanor made Masket curious, "Did master already know about this?"

"Uncle is a shrewd man, he definitely has another intention of deploying this army ..."

It was not long after, that his conjecture turned out to be true when a servant came to relay an order from Avan Ariville asking Duke Sanjaya to come see him.

"May ... I assign you to be my temporary bodyguard." Maya immediately shook her head as soon as she heard Arav's command, "Maybe there will be something we don't want. Clare, gather your group members and tell them not to act, before things get out of control don't occasionally act without orders..."

"Understand!" Clare replied firmly to carry out the task immediately.

"And I ..." Masket pointed to her chest, "Does master not need me in carrying out this plan?" The girl grumbled because she was upset.

"You will continue to use Marisaa's identity ... Be prepared to do something as a fiancee ..."

The maskets only shook their heads at Arav's words, and immediately changed his clothes. Meanwhile, Arav and Maya go straight to the living room where Avan Ariville is sitting relaxed while drinking tea.

"I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning ..."

"No problem ..." Arav replied as he shook his head, "Heard you're going to make a massive raid into the city center of this region?"

Avan Ariville nodded his head, "For that I would like to ask for your help in supporting each of these plans so that the entire Ariville region is within my control ..."

"Uncle Avan turned out to have an ambitious side, hmm ... Maybe I'll make a deal with him ..." Mumbled Arav softly while enjoying a cup of tea on the table, "Maybe I will consider this ... Of course all of this is not given for free, because Vinterm will ask for something as payment ..."

"Can Duke explain in detail what you want on this one?" Avan Ariville squinted. Making Arav know what this middle-aged man was really thinking, before being taken aback by him.
