The Granduke Evil
Chapter 14

Two months later, Ethan and his army are still in the middle of the forest to eradicate the monsters in the southern region. " This shit has been two months, but there are still plenty of monsters in this place. " Guman Ethan while slashing the monster that attacked him. He was getting used to the forest environment and the various monsters that arrived attacked.

" Your Majesty, there are no more monsters in the debt of the west." Said one of the knights who came together and approached Ethan.

" Not to let your guard down." Ethan's firm.

" Good noble."

" Then come with me to eradicate the remaining monsters in this place."

" Good noble." They followed Ethan from behind. After killing half the monsters in that place Ethan and the other Knights returned to basecamp to rest, then followed Alex who came with the other knights.

" Ethan doesn't seem to have any monsters in the southwestern forest, should we just finish this extermination?" Ask Alex who just got to Basecamp.

" We'll review again in two to three days, if there are no monsters, you can end this extermination." Ethan said.

" What do you mean we end this extermination, then what about you? " Ask Alex.

" Of course I have to fight the boss of the monsters, I mean the leader of the monsters. It's too dangerous if you guys come along so I'll go alone." Ethan's firm.

" Where is Ethan, you're crazy!!" Shouts Alex.

" No way I'm crazy."

" Your Majesty, our duty is to protect you. " Say one of the Knights over there.

" And it's my duty to protect you too." Reply Ethan.

" We can't let you go to Ethan's own dragon lair! " Recisive Alex who starts to get emotional with Ethan's words.

" Yesit's up to you guys, I want a break." Ethan said, then went into the tent.

...****************...

After three days of trekking through the forest and making sure there were no monsters in the southern region, they gathered to come to the final destination. On the way to the Dragon cave in the Northern part of the wisteria forest, Ethan heard a voice from behind the bush.

" Srak.. Srak..Srak." The sound that was heard in Ethan's ear. " Stop." While gesturing to his troops, Alex approached Ethan who was in front of him. " What's up, Ethan?"

" stt.there are those who follow us. " Say Ethan.

" It's weird, but I think I can tell that someone's attacking soon." Ethan mutants in the heart while reading the situation. Sure enough, from the west Ethan saw the arrow that darted quickly. " Everybody down!!!" Ethan Shouts. The arrows shot more and more, They were all still ducking to protect themselves. " Everything's dispersed, lest anyone get hurt!" Ethan Shouts.

They all split up to protect themselves, Ethan and his horse continued to run without knowing the direction, To avoid the arrow attack.

" Damn it! the attack of who else is this, who sent them. The one who proposed my name to the emperor or the crown prince." Ethan said in his heart as he continued to run, Until finally at the end of the cliff in the forest.

Ethan gets off his horse and prepares to attack whoever he's going to fight.

"Batts!" The arrow that hit Ethan. Then a group of hit men come near Ethan. " Who told you?"

The killing aura that had been long unseen, this time was clearly visible. The bluish-red color surrounding him instantly scared the group of assassins, and they immediately attacked Ethan. Ethan manages to kill them all, with a breath of Ethan's head it feels like spinning after fighting the killers.

" Ach!" Ethan held his head, "Why does my head hurt so much. " Say Ethan grimacing in pain. As his eyes begin to blur Ethan hears the sound of someone approaching him, but he cannot see her clearly. Then the guy pushes Ethan off the edge of the cliff.

...****************...

" Uncle, why isn't this document suspicious, it's all clean." Grace said.

The Count gasped at Grace's voice, "Yes nothing strange turns out." Reply Count.

" No uncle, there's obviously something odd." Grace said stubbornly.

" Yes Grace, I know, but I have to find out more." Say the Count softly.

" I can't tell you about the hit man who's after Ethan, the one he's gonna get curious about. " Guman Count in heart.

" uncle, is uncle hiding something from me?" Grace asked her suspicious of her uncle.

" Where is Grace." Reply uncle.

" Uncle must be lying I know that." Reply the girl turned her face away from her uncle.

" I'm sorry uncle, sometimes there are things you need not know. " Say the Count softly.

" It's okay uncle, I understand. I'll find out for myself, too." Grace said, leaving the room.

" Huh..." Sighs. " Why is Grace so stubborn." Frustrated said.

Not long after the sound of knocking was heard, "Tok, Tok." Then Zach opened the door. " My master brought more information." He approached the count.

" What information?"

" Duke Ainsley, it turned out to have a pseudonym among the illegal Guilds. And he also hired a group of hit men to go to the Southern Territory." Said Zach who gave the report. The Count's eyes immediately opened wide, "What!" The Count was shocked to hear the news.

" How can it be, No that's not the question. Zach get the troops ready to go to the south, get down there and see what happens." Count. " I hope we're not late." Connect her.

The Count immediately prepared an army and rushed off to the southern region. Before leaving, he told Grace.

" Grace, Uncle go first. You take care of the castle and nowhere." Count.

" Where is uncle going?"

" Uncle has urgent business, baby. " The Count said softly.

" Does this have anything to do with Ethan?"

" Yes, that's why you please stay home, not anywhere." Reply Count while stroking the girl's hair.

Grace grabs the Count's hand, "Please save Ethan uncle." Grace said begging.

" It must be Grace." Hugged her.

The Count regrouped with his troops, and planned to go around the road so as not to invite people's attention. He went with Zach and five other knights to the south.

"Ainsley, what exactly do you want, to kill an eighteen-year-old." The Count's Guman inwardly while continuing to run with his horse.
