The Villainess Wants To Go Home

Chapter 35 - Escape

With a flash, both soldiers came toppling down, their lifeless bodies lay in their own pools of blood.

"Two down, 3 more to go" she said with a glint of excitement. "Are they dead?" Homura peeked his

head out from his trembling body. "Why are you so scared. You kill birds and rodents for a living" she

sheathed her Katana back.

"That's a completely different story"

"No, I'm pretty sure they are the same" Artemis stated her attention focused on the little fox.

"Yet it's a sin for you humans to kill each other just like it is with ours." He said. She rose an eyebrow at

in wonder. "God will punish you"

When his words reached her ears, the thought of men screaming and telling her to go hell as they tried

to pull her down to hell with their skeleton like hands stained with blood.

Immediately two soldiers came running up, their metal armour rang as they ran up.

Artemis snapped out of the memory and looked up at the two soldiers staring at her in shock.

"How?" one said in horror while the other gritted his teeth and charged at her with his sword held high.

"AHHHHH!" he attempted to swing at her but Artemis This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She didn't need to look to attack, slid to the side and grabbed a hold of the sword. The soldiers eyes

widened in horror when the handle of his blade was grabbed instantly by the lady of Glacies.

"Impossib-" he didn't get to finish his sentence when an incoming kick collided with his cheek sending

him to the wall. He hit with a grunt.

The other one stepped back in horror staring at the woman that was not supposed to know no sort of

battle fights. He saw a glimpse of her under the hood, a grin hiding a killer instinct within.

"Your turn" she said then to run towards him, the man stumble back in fear but was kicked by a force

down the stairs. He went rolling down with a bang and his unconscious body stopped in front of another

soldier.

Artemis stood on the second floor, looking down at the last soldier and the man stared back with a

glare. She recognised quickly. 'Thomas Lupin' the strongest knight from the Glacies household. He was

the greatest swordsman who trained the crown prince himself. He was titled commander of the knights

but retired to work with the loyal master he worked under for years.

He stood there, blond hair slicked back, deep blue eyes firmly glared at her and his well-built physics

under the heavy metal armour.

"Diana what a surprise" he said in a thick and threatening accent.

"Who knew the trashy daughter of the duke knew how to fight" he pointed his blade at her.

Thomas heard the fox howl at her, and she returned his call with a whisper. 'Can she understand that

dog? Tch impossible only creatures of the forest are able to'

"Diana it's impossible to fight me. Come down and return to back to the mansion. Your father is very

unhappy with your flee" he said.

Diana clicked her tongue, leaping onto the banister and running down silently surprising the

commander. She launched herself towards him.

He smirked. "Stupid woman, don't you realise that was a pathetic move' he thought blocking her fast-

incoming foot with his blade within a mere second. 'Tch, that was close, a second too late I would have

foot's mark on my face for the rest of my life'

A smile mischief crossed her face. 'Fool the kick was just a diversion' twisting her body to the left she

hurled her other foot in the air and kicked his face with her shins.

Flipping backwards she landed without a sound. A jot of pain rushed through her legs. 'Her bones are

still fragile. I should try to avoid kicking so hard'

"You little bitch" he stumbled back in pain, wiping the blood from her lips. "Kick him again" Homura

cheered but shrieked when Thomas shot a threatening glare at him.

"You know what I'll just keep my mouth shut" he lowered his head, hiding away like a little coward fox.

"Don't worry I will be done with him in a second" she smirked. Thomas spat out a chunk of salvia that

formed in his mouth and onto the floor.

Artemis ran towards him with speed. Thomas got into a fighting stand ready to attack lifting his blade

and ready to lash down at her, but she was too fast for him.

She dodge it without a struggle as she moved to the side, using her two fingers she hit the vital parts of

his arm, paralysing it. His arm became sloppy, and he dropped his blade. He couldn't move his arm, or

fingers

"MY ARM" he shrieked, grabbing his shoulder. With a karate chop to the back of the neck he fell to the

ground unconscious.

"Wow" Homura said dumbfounded. "See, I told you I can deal with them" she said proudly.

The people around in the inn watched in awe and shock.

"Is that Diana?"

"She took down Thomas Lupin former commander of the Aurum Knights"

"This is impossible"

"It seems like Thomas isn't so great after all, he got beaten by the vicious and cruel trashy daughter of

the grand Duke"

"That's just embarrassing"

"She is a noble lady. How can she fight?"

"Did she run away from home?" People whispered among themselves.

Artemis glanced at the unconscious knight on the floor in disgust. 'Pathetic. I thought you would have

put up a fight but that was just disappointing. Greatest Swordsman my ***'

"Tch humans. I hate them all" Homura's voice showed disgust. "Lets go before more back up comes"

Artemis ignored the whispers and bolted to the door with Homura.

Running out, she spotted a few knights going around looking for, some teared down shops while others

fought with some people but as she run out they saw her and called out to her.

"BY THE ORDER OF THE DUKE STOP"

Artemis smirked. "What are you planning now?" Homura squeaked.

"Up"

"Up? What do you-AHHHHH" he screamed from the top of his lungs as Artemis leaped on a cart then

to leap again and land on the roof of the inn.

Homura breathing was heavy and sharp, and his little fox body shook. "I can't do heights" he mumbled.

"TAKE ME DOWN THIS INSTANT" he barked his order, but Artemis disregarded and started to run

along the roofs of the houses and shops.

'I don't have time to deal with these knights, so I will just lose them by running across the roofs' was

what she planned.

She jumped across the gap between the two houses, landing perfectly fine on the other side.

"Don't you dare drop me!" he screeched. "Your such a cub".

"Foxes can't do heights or flying for that matter"

"I'm not flying though" she said with her eyes fixated to the front as she leaped from roof to roof

carelessly and silently.

"Jumping so high counts as flying!"

She regarded his words and looked back to see the knights so far behind. 'Heh, you guys can't keep up

with a ninja assassin'

She leaped down and hid behind an alley way. Artemis dropped to the floor huffing and puffing.

Exhausted from all the running and leaping. Her heart raced so fast, and her legs ached and shook

from fatigue.

"I need water" she croaked from the dried throat, gasping for more air. 'This body is so weak and it's

stamina is of a child's'

Taking a leather drinking bottle, popping open the cork and taking a sip of water.

The water tasted so sweet as it washed away the desert cracks in her throat.

Feeling the presence of another being near, Artemis placed Homura on the grown and slowly reached

for a Kunai attached to her left thigh.

The figure appeared from the corner of the alley way but didn't realise Artemis who was there.

Artemis appeared in front of him startling the hooded figure and he put his hands in the air indicating he

was unarmed. Her Kunai threatening to slice his throat if he moved a single finger.

"Woah, Woah, Woah"
