Chapter 188 - Vesta Strange Behaviour
After saying that, Veronica sheathed her sword and also turned her head, looking back where her friend's body was.
Selena…. Trust me, I'll be back in a few minutes and bring your body.
With a heart-broken feeling of sadness, she used her 3rd class swordsmen strength to lift Desmond's body and placed him on her shoulder.
Desmond was dumbfounded by Veronica's actions; his body which had been on the ground, instantly lifted up, and the lower part of his stomach hit something hard.
"Ugh.
" Desmond groaned; his expression looked very uncomfortable while his eyes staring at Veronica helplessly.
Perhaps because Veronica was too focus, she not aware that his injured hand had touched and nudged her ample breast.
Then Veronica glanced at Laura. Seeing her dying, her mind became blank again, while her eyes showed panicked, feeling scared simultaneously.
But it was only a moment before she regained her will. In contrast to Desmond, this time, she slowly crouched down and lifted Laura like a princess.
The unconscious Laura was now being carried by Veronica, while Desmond was on her shoulder like carrying a deer that was has been hunted
"Hold tight,
" Veronica said, she planted her feet on the ground, and her gaze focused on the front, which was the direction she had come from and the current location of the village.
At the same time, Desmond open one of his eyes glanced at Laura from the corner of his eye, and their eyes met eye contact.
So far, it's still safe; keep acting like this. Desmond sent a magic message which made Laura nod before closing their eyes again.
* swoosh *
After Veronica's voice faded away, suddenly Desmond's vision blurred. Or rather, they were moving at speed exceeding normal.
Desmond only took a quick glance before closing his eyes due to the opposite direction of the wind. Even so, he tried to open his eyes and managed with squinted his eyes, seeing his surroundings.
This .... is the pinnacle of the swordsman class, Desmond muttered inwardly.
This situation can be described as Desmond driving a supercar with a speed of 250 km
/h, where he can only see the surrounding objects as if they are pulled backward along with a strong force pushing his body backward.
Desmond tried to move his head out of curiosity and glanced at the bottom of Veronica's feet.
Unbelievable .... Desmond exclaimed in amazement.
If before that was the impact he had predicted or could have guessed with his past knowledge, but now when he saw this ...
Veronica's legs didn't move fast enough to form a shadow that multiplied her foot, but from Desmond's point of view, her feet were just walking as usual, without any special addons or dust generated by this speed.
Ugh, Desmond suddenly felt that his eyes were twitching. Perhaps it was because he had forced himself to look. In the end, he sighed and closed his eyes, don't want to lose his eyes at such a young age.

Unconsciously, Desmond, who felt that he had just closed his eyes, suddenly felt that the wind pressure pressing down on his body disappeared.
Along with the disappearance of the wind pressure, Desmond also heard a bustling voice, a conversation between humans from a distance.
He slowly opened his eyelids and found that his vision was still a bit blurry, maybe the impact from the trip before.
"What happens?
" Desmond vaguely saw a middle-aged man in armor with a mantle attached to the back of his body who had a height that exceeded Veronica's and was also blocking the sunlight behind him coming to them.
"Sir, I found them badly injured like this in the deeper-part forest.
" Veronica's tone suddenly turned polite, and with this, Desmond could guess who was the middle-aged man is it.
Vesta, Desmond murmured inwardly.
Now Desmond's gaze has returned to normal, and this time Desmond saw Vesta staring at him with a frown.
"Give that brat to me.
"
This time Desmond raise his eyebrows; he looks at him and quickly regained his senses, and replied,
"Mr.Vesta.
" Unlike most people, Desmond called his name directly, probably because of the complicated relationship with his wife.
"Oh? Have you awake? Good, then come with me.
" Hearing Desmond's voice, Vesta smiled and immediately turned around without waiting for an answer.
It was as if Vesta didn't care about his condition or his maid; He then glanced at Veronica and found her still worried and silently looked back.
Sigh, Desmond sighed. With his effort, he tapped Veronica's shoulder quickly and told her to put him down.
Veronica, with a nod, slowly put Laura on the ground and helped Desmond to get off from her shoulder; she looked at him hesitantly and spoke,
"Master Desmond, let me discuss this with-
"
Maybe because this situation is a mess right now, the leader's characteristic and aura from Veronica had disappeared in Desmond's eyes; not only does she act like a newbie who is the first time watching theirs comrade's death, she also looked lady-like villagers, unsteady and doubtfully.
"Please wait, Mr. Vesta.
" Desmond interrupted Veronica's words. Using his weak breath and low tone, it's impossible for a 3rd swordsmen who even had better hearing than himself could not hear it.
Vesta, who was already halfway to a stop, turned around casually and calmly looked at Desmond, waiting for his excuse.
Seeing this gaze, Desmond snorted in annoyance. He couldn't guess whether Vesta had managed to saw through his acting or if he genuinely didn't really care about him.
With a weak, forced smile, Desmond spoke,
"Unfortunately, Mr.Vesta, I can't * cough * as you can see my condition right now.
" Although Desmond said pleadingly, the hidden meaning of his words was clearly revealed.
Veronica, who could not stand to see Laura's state anymore, added,
"Sir, with all of the respect, I'll handle this matter.
" She looked at Vesta with fiery and burning gaze; it was clear that she was very annoyed at his cold-hearted attitude.
She thought the reason Vesta called Desmond maybe because he didn't want this news was spread as he, as Guardian, can't even protect a child, which is why he wants to bribe Desmond's mouth.
Hearing Laura's answer, Desmond grinned inwardly. It is true that a woman's heart is the easiest to manipulate, especially if you add to the possibility that Veronica's age is mature enough to have children.
On the other hand, there was an apparent change in expression on Vesta's face when he heard Veronica's words; he glanced at Laura and Desmond and could not find a proper reason to argue.
It seemed I was pushing too hard, Vesta thought. Which made him ignore Desmond and Laura's current condition.
With a helpless sigh, Vesta replied.
"Forgive my rude behavior; you can take them away; you can talk to my subordinates if you need any help.
" With that, Vesta turned and left through the main gate of the village, where his feet stepped on several Dire Wolves corpses.
