Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC-Chapter 61 Night Raid

When Night fell, three figures stood on the rooftop of an inn. "Why is this so tight!? Sally, are you sure you are not just wearing that to show off your breasts to Vance?"

"Alice, I do not think I need to show them off after what he has been doing to them the past few days!" Sally shot back. Alice just snorted and looked at her own chest. They were the same age but the size difference! Alice felt depressed.

"You're both beautiful so no need to be so hung up over it." Vance cut in.

"Humph! You never do those things with mine!" Alice snorted once more. Vance leaned forward and whispered into her ear, causing the girl to blush. "Okay, so you do, do that…."

"We are going to be checking out the guard's family first. While he will get a reduced sentence for working with us and not the death penalty, he will still get jail time for trying to assassinate a princess. But this is all based on whether or not we can actually do something about his family. Let's head out." Vance announced before jumping forward. Alice and Sally quickly followed behind.

Vance never thought he would actually be doing a ninja type role. He was actually finding this quite fun. He knew he should not find such a thing fun since it was all about the life or death of a family, but he still couldn't help himself enjoying the moment.

They quickly leapt through the night, going rooftop to rooftop. After an hour, they finally arrived at a small house. Vance, the girls all jumped down and looked around to see the whole place was very dark. Frowning, Vance walked up to one of the windows and tried to listen for any sounds coming from inside. When he heard nothing, he lifted the window and slipped inside. Followed by Alice and Sally.

They crept through the house looking for any signs of life but found no one. "Vance, look." Alice pointed at a table in the kitchen area that had bowls of food with utensils all in disarray. One bowl was even tipped over. "What should we do?"

"They were probably dragged to the prince's home. We will go there. If we are lucky, we can get some evidence against him as well. Whether or not we can bring the family out is another story. There were three people here, which matches the number of people he told us about. His wife and two daughters. If we can not bring them all, we will try to bring his daughters out." Vance made a firm decision. They were jumping into the lion's den as it was. If they can't save them all, they could at least bring his children. This may not be all he asked for, but it was better than all of the dying in the hands of the prince.

Alice and Sally were quiet. They did not like it, but they knew this was the right choice. They both nodded and followed Vance out of the house. The group then made their way to the prince's so called palace. But in Vance's eyes, it was just a large estate and nothing more. It barely had any land to it.

There were many guards down below guarding the outside, but inside the grounds, Vance could tell there were not many guards around. "How should we do this?" Alice asked softly.

"Your brother seems to have a hard time hiring guards for his house, and only the guards the palace sends out are to guard the outside. So we just need to sneak in at a blind spot. Look there." Vance pointed to a section of the high wall that was in complete darkness that was unguarded and grinned. "Let's go." 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

The girls nodded and followed along. They hopped a few more roofs before landing in a back alley and making their way to the wall hidden in the darkness. Vance bent down and helped both girls up, who then helped him up the wall. They stood on top of it and looked around before jumping down. From here, Vance did not know which way to go. He scanned the area, which was a low cut lawn with very few trees. Off in the distance, he saw a light out in front of what looked like a wood shed of sorts, with a guard standing in front of it. "Let's head there. To have a single guard guarding a wood shed is already quite suspicious. Stay in the shadows."

The three figures, all dressed in black from head to toe, quickly made their way around to the wood shed. There was one guard standing outside, dozing off. His head rocked back and forth as his body swayed. Vance looked at Sally, who nodded and disappeared. She reappeared behind the guard with her dagger drawn. The cold metal glimmered under the light as it sliced across the guard's neck, spilling blood onto the ground. With one arm, she caught the fallen guard and pulled him into the shadows.

Vance and Alice had made their way around the back and checked the structure of the wood shed. It was not in the best of shapes and had many cracks and holes in it. Vance pressed on the wood until he found a loose panel and pulled it open just in time as Sally joined them.

Inside, two young girls around five and seven years of age were huddled in a corner. Their cheeks sunken in. They looked like they had not eaten in days. Their lips were cracked and dry, and they looked like they were in a very weak state. Vance was the first to enter before turning around and having Alice enter with him. He had Sally stay outside to keep guard.

When they entered and saw the kids half a step away from meeting the grim reaper, Vance's anger began to soar. "Alice, you and Sally will leave with the kids and go to your uncle's house. I will meet up with you later." 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

"Wait, what do you plan to do?" Alice was a little scared that Vance might try to kill her brother. While he had good reason to, she could not let him do it because he was still a prince.

"Don't worry. He won't die…. Maybe…."
