Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"There are at least six men. My lady i want you to lay on the ground behind the sofa." he ordered her without taking his gaze away from the window and scanning their movements,

"You have a blanket laid there in advance right?" he asked in a solemn tone when she stood up with caution.

"Yes,! It would be a lie if I say I was not prepared for it." she chuckled without humor as she walked consciously on the blanket that was spread between the sofa and the large bookshelf that would hide her.

Until the person would walk in and aim directly at her head, she would not be affected even if the whole house would turn into ruin just by the amount of pillows spread to take the shot instead of her.

"You have the gun and dagger, right?" he asked again as he filled the gun, relieved that they have two of this rare and advanced weapon that had recently been innovated.

"Yes, and I know how to shoot well" she replied assuring the man that she was sage and he did not need to worry about her when he would be concentrating on fighting with the enemies.

Finally taking a breath of relief, he waved his hands, signaling her that he is going to start, so it would be better that she hide and did not speak further.

He aimed at the moments. Since it was dark and there were no lanterns out of the house, it was hard to depict their position. The same goes with the other side.

The house was so dark that it would give the illusion that everyone was sleeping. They walked in with confidence thinking that the previous soldier that had failed was only because Leo was there to protect the house. Now that he is gone, it is only a piece of cake to win against them.

How difficult could it be to kill an alone pregnant woman and a sick man that couldn\'t even stand without help.

They were carefree as they walked towards the door only to get hit by a bullet.

"Snap! Crack!" The sound of the piercing bullet was heart but it was already too late.

Two of them have already fallen on the ground while the four of them were looking at each other dumbfoundedly. They did not understand how that happened.

"There is someone protecting the house!" said the leader but everyone was already aware of it after looking at the fallen bodies. But the question was where was he?

When they were looking around Reynold had already changed his position to another window. He was glad that the house has more than five windows that open in every direction.

By changing the position frequently, he could give a message that there were more than one knight in the house that had a gun.

He shot two more with different directions taking the benefit of their confusion but all four of them fell on the ground.

The rest of the two alive people were hiding behind the body of their mates.

They have to keep silent until they find out where their enemy is!

"Snap! They have realized the trick!" he muttered as he knew that the gun would not work anymore.

He looked with concentration when he heard the sound of crawling but he could not see where the two of them were.

He locked back at Evan with worry.

"My lady you have to make sure that you do not move." he whispered slowly when the girl nodded again.

He waited for them to jump on the door when he made sure that all the windows were shut tight again except the one he was standing at that was nearest to the door.

He felt the window shake a bit but then stopped. They must be checking if one of them has been opened already.

A cold smirk formed on his lips and his hold on the sword tightened.

One by one all the windows were checked and in the end, the man came to check the window where Reynold was standing.

The window shook a bit and opened easily, bringing a smile on the face of the attackers when Reynolds cut the neck of the man with one single cut when the man craned his neck to see who was there.

The body of the man fell on the ground out of the window while his head fell inside the house near the feet of Reynold when he heard the sound of cursing and the other man taking a few steps back.

Most of the time when all the men of the team die, the last one runs away since he was sure that he could not make any difference alone. That was what Reynold had thought too but he did not hear the sound of the footsteps or the neighing of the horses and his lips curled into a smile.

If he wanted to die too. Who was he to change the will of the god!

He stood there alert for minutes but there was no moment. Evan turned to look at what happened but she was told that she had to stay silent until she was called out.

Reynold tried to peek out of the window but made sure that he did not take any part of his body out.

Only the one who had the courage to attack first and patience to wait for his enemy could win the battle. He was not in a hurry to kill the last one.

but just when he was about to take a step away, he felt the door of the knob moving.

"Tsk! You have already lost it."
