[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor-Chapter 436 - 435 – Kidnapping.

"…"

(Honestly…. I get that father wants to save our lives…. But this is…. Just cruel.) – thought the Daughter Of Mercy who looked through the window.

(The holy city…. Our capital city is more than enough to handle 2 or 3 times of amount of people…. And yet, the evacuation order has not been issued?)

(I know I'm not the smartest one amongst my siblings…. I'm "soft" as they say….)

(But if they knew that the holy city that is about to be attacked by the vampires and dragons, resulting in its obvious destruction…. Then why they haven't issued evacuation order?!)

(No! After the second holy city has fallen, it was obvious that we wouldn't be able to defend the enemy!)

(I know that we need time to be able to create a counter attack.)

(The longer this war last, the higher our odds of winning will be!)

(But sacrificing thousands of people lives only to buy few moments?! This wasn't worth it!)

(….Was…. Was she correct back then?)

"H-huh!? Y-you are leaving the holy empire?!" – Maryia starts to remember her past conversation with Morina.

"Yeb. I'm." – replied Morina.

"Honestly, I should just leave without saying the world, but I like you gal, so I'm willing to at least say goodbye to you."

"I would say goodbye to Jeanne too…. But I think at this point she wouldn't mind trying to stop me with force and such…. So unfortunately, I can only say goodbye to you."

"B-but why?!" – asked nervous little girl.

"…"

"You are asking me why?" – replied Morina.

"Well…. Simple, really."

"I've completely lost trust in the holy empire…. Nah, if anything, I saw the true face of the holy empire."

"It isn't about them losing to the vampires or having the Son Of Glory being dealt with…. It is something different."

"Maryia, tell me this."

"Do you know the true face of the holy empire? The one they are hiding behind their mask of 'faith' and 'good will'?"

"…"

"No? Or maybe you do and chose to ignore it?" – asked Morina as the little girl couldn't muster an answer.

"Look…. You are a good person and I'm going to say this straight."

"If you want to save lives, then abandon the holy empire."

"If not, you will just become a bloody murderer."

"I'm going to join Arthur's side…. Since by the looks of things, he is the only one I can trust right now…. Goodbye."

"And I hope we won't ever have to cross our paths again."

(….)

(The truth of the empire… Huh….) – thought the little girl as she continues starting down through the window, observing the nobility walking around peaceful while the children played around.

(What does she mean by that?)

(Honestly, I couldn't get her words out of my head…. She was my friend as was Arthur….)

(And back then…. They saved me, just like back then.)

(Why? Arthur was enemy back then! He killed my men! Yet he stepped in to try and save me specifically?! Not only him, but also his guild?!)

(I've heard what has happened afterwords.)

(Arthur and his entire guild has been branded as traitorous by the organization.)

(I DON'T GET IT!)

(WHY?!)

(ARE THEY ENEMIES OR NOT?!)

(…)

(And what the hell is the mask of the empire?! What did Morina meant by that?!) – thought the little girl as she suddenly saw a door right in front of her face on the other side of the window, alarming the girl as she instantly gotten away from it and got ready to attack in panic as somebody opened the window and got inside.

"…."

"W-what?"

"Arthur?" – said the girl with eyes wide open as she saw Arthur entering the room in hurry, while still having his unsheathed sword in hands.

"!"

"Maryia! You are alright?!" – asked Arthur as he walked towards the little girl while putting away his sword.

"A-Arthur?! W-what are you doing here!? No wait! How did you even get in?!" – said confused girl who couldn't comprehend the situation right now.

"Listen! There is no time right now!" – said Arthur as he got near the girl, alarming her.

"The organization is about to destroy the fourth holy city and they will come here to finish off the holy empire."

"At the rate things are going, the holy empire is good as dead."

"You need to get out of here as soon as possible, before they find you."

"But…..But….. I can't." – said the little girl as she looked on the ground.

"I…. I can't run."

"If I do, then who will save the people here?!"

"…."

"The people that the holy empire is planning to kill themselves?" – said Arthur.

"….What?" – asked shocked girl.

"….Shit….You don't know?" – said Arthur as he grabbed his head.

"W-wait! What do you mean by that?! Empire is planning to kill its own citizens?!" – asked the little girl as she grabbed Arthur by his cloths.

"!"

"Is it related to the mask that the empire is wearing?! What is going on?! Answer me!"

"…"

"I'm sorry…" – said Arthur.

"But there is no time." – said Arthur as he quickly put a collar like device around the little girl's neck, alarming and scaring her as she instantly tried getting rid of the object.

"?!"

(Wait…. Divine power?!) – thought the girl, realizing that the object around her neck was divine in origin, before moments later the girl lost all of her power, straight up collapsing on the ground from exhaustion, before then losing consciousness.

"…"

(Ah, this will leave a bad taste in my mouth.) – thought Arthur as he took out a giant bag from his inventory and started stuffing the little girl inside of it, before then tie the bag up.

(Okay…. This should do it…. Now I need to-)

*Knock* *Knock*

"Maryia? Are you in there?" - said the voice on the other side of the door.

"…"

(SHIT!) – thought nervous Arthur as he instantly recognized the voice that belonged to non-other than Daughter Of Justice.

(Jeanne is here?!) – thought Arthur as he started panicking, before then quickly approaching the window, thinking about jumping down from it…. Only to realize that right underneath it there was a heavy security surrounding the entire holy castle.

(FUCK! DID THEY NOTICED THAT SOMEBODY MAY HAD ENTERED THE CASTLE GROUNDS?!)

(This isn't good! I can't fucking leave the room now or they will spot me instantly!)

(But if I don't-)

"Hey, is Maryia not in her room right now?" – asked Jeane one of two guards that were standing right in front of the door.

"No. She never left…. Maybe she is just sleeping?" – replied the paladin.

"…"

"Okay…." – said Jeane as she then started unlocking the door.

"Sorry for intrusion Maryia."

"But I really need to talk with you."

"We need to-"

"…"

The Daughter Of Justice entered the room, instantly spotting Arthur right in the middle of the room, carrying a human sized bag over his shoulder.

"Oh fuck." – said Arthur.

(Why the fuck is she here?!)

"…"

"Arthur?" – said Jeanne who was both confused and alarmed by the presence of the player.

(Wait.) – thought the Daughter Of Justice as she started looking around, realizing that she couldn't spot anywhere her little sister…. Which in turn instantly caused her to gaze at the suspicious human sized bag that was being carried by the swordman.

"…"

"Hey."

"What the fuck are you doing?" – asked pissed off Daughter Of Justice as she manifested two swords of light in her hands.

"And where the fuck is my sister?"

"…"

(Oh fucking great….) – thought Arthur as he realized he was screwed.

Arthur looked towards the window and instantly tried taking a single step towards it, but it only provoked the girl as she instantly leaped towards Arthur and got ready to slice him.

"!"

"SORRY!" – shouted Arthur as he put the human sized bag right in front himself, alarming Jeanne as she instantly stopped her attack, realizing that her own sister is held hostage by the man.

"The fuck are you doing?!" – shouted Coin as she suddenly leaped out of the Arthur's shadow and threw several smoke bombs, instantly enveloping the entire room in thick smoke, which alarmed the Daughter Of Justice who instantly transformed her weapons of light into a giant hammer and just swung it.

"!?"

"WHERE ARE THEY?!" – shouted the Daughter Of Justice as she instantly got rid of the smoke that was around her, regaining her vision…. But not spotting anywhere either the cat girl, the traitor or her own sister.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" – asked panicking cat girl as the player duo jumped down from the window and landed on the ground… Which in turn caused them to be instantly spotted by the pair of guards nearby.

"?!"

"Hey! Who-"

"[Mist Spear Art: Manifested Coffin]." – however, before they could even raise a commotion, a thick smoke enveloped their bodies, before moments later several spears pierced their entire bodies, killing them both instantly.

"Run! They are fucking coming!" – said nervous Mara as in the distance, the patrolling soldiers noticed the group.

And right as the group was about to start moving, a burst of light suddenly went flying out of the opened-up window, before moments later the Daughter Of Justice shot out of it while flying using an angelic like wings made out of light.

"You bastards." – said Jeanne who clearly was consumed with fury.

"You are fucking dead meat."
