But Balder was nowhere to be found. She had come with the intention of meeting him in person, but now that she found herself in this situation, spending 30 minutes without crossing paths was one way to handle it.
Luella activated the game screen to check the quest time.
[Occupation Time 20:01]She glanced at the mansion and noticed the butler watching her through a window on the side of the mansion. She waved at him and got up to admire the fully bloomed flowers.
[Occupation Time 15:56]Time seemed to pass too slowly.
The moonlit garden was quite beautiful, but Luella’s gaze was fixed solely on the quest clock on the screen.
When it showed that there were exactly 11 minutes left, she heard the sound of hooves approaching from the main gate.
Pretending to be engrossed in admiring the flowers in the garden, Luella gradually moved further inside.
Thanks to the people holding lanterns, even the backyard where Luella was located became as bright as day.
“Hey, check if she’s in the warehouse.”
“No, she came to meet Her Highness; she wouldn’t hide in a place like the warehouse.”
“Still, check, you never know. Don’t scold her later.”
Luella crouched behind the bushes opposite the warehouse, watching as people searched around.
[Occupation Time 02:15]Even if she got caught, there was enough time to hold out and return. However, she wanted to disappear without encountering them if possible.
Her heart was pounding.
Her palms were sweaty, and her heart was racing to the point of almost jumping out of her chest.
“Here! I think there’s something here.”
The person holding the lantern came out of the warehouse, and when they saw the bushes where Luella was hiding, they shouted. She thought she had hidden well, but her hair color was so bright that it caught their eye.
Luella checked the quest time.
[Occupation Time 00:45] [Occupation Time 00:30]As the man approached, Luella placed her finger on the teleportation skill interface.
[Occupation Time 00:12]The man, shining his lantern in different directions towards the bushes where Luella was, shouted.
“She’s here. Here! Right here!”
After shouting, he rummaged through the bushes, and as soon as Luella confirmed the quest completion notification, she immediately pressed the teleport button.
As soon as she used the skill, she heard a scolding that could have torn her eardrums apart.
“Luella! Where on earth have you been? Do you know how long we’ve been searching? We thought something had happened.”
Luella looked at the people gathered in the Ferrose Mansion hall. They were all wearing cloaks, as if they were just about to leave.
After being extremely tense just a moment ago, when Luella saw her colleagues’ faces, she let out a deep sigh.
“I went on a quest. It was a door-to-door quest, so it took longer than I thought. I had to wait here for 30 minutes.”
Even as she spoke, her tension had not dissipated, and her heart was still pounding. Whether they understood her feelings or not, Hazen frowned more seriously than usual.
“We should talk and then leave. And don’t forget, you can’t go out alone. Your wanted poster is all over the country now.”
Feeling his genuine concern, Luella couldn’t help but feel sorry even though she didn’t mean to cause worry. However, she responded in a nonchalant tone to avoid causing more concern.
“I was busy, so I couldn’t inform you. I thought I’d be back soon, but it took longer than expected. But still, are you worrying too much? You know I have a secret weapon.”
“What is it?”
“Teleportation. I can come back here at any dangerous moment, so it’s okay for me to go out alone.”
“No, it’s not. Even if you have that ability, you could still die if you’re attacked, just like when you went out to hunt monsters. Wait a few more days. Kite will rescue people and come with you.”
Luella sighed.
“I’m sorry for causing you to worry. But let’s talk about this later. We should prepare just in case.”
After calming Hazen down, Lapha asked, “Prepare for what?”
“I came to Balder Mansion just now.”
“Are you insane?”
Everyone shouted in unison, and Luella covered her ears.
“It was a really important quest. It was supposed to be just me. If I had gone with someone else, I would have been more cautious.”
Furthermore, she had gained two levels from this one quest. That’s how difficult it was.
Luella took out the staff from her bag after receiving the quest reward and held it up.
“I had to get this. You know how important weapons are. This staff allows me to use a healing skill with a level of healing power that I can’t achieve at my level, and it also increases mana recovery speed.”
It seemed like everyone understood, but they didn’t say anything. Then, as if he remembered something, Hazen asked.
“But why would Balder himself come here?”
“I completed the quest and ran away before meeting Guild Master Balder. He’ll be angry and will probably come after us soon.”
“Before meeting Guild Master Balder, I completed the quest and immediately ran away. He’ll soon be furious and come charging in.”
“What kind of quest was it, though?”
“The objective was to hold out for over 30 minutes in enemy territory.”
“Regardless of the reason, if he charges in, we’ll have no choice but to fight.”
Mitchell drew his weapon, and the others followed suit, summoning their own weapons. Everyone assumed a combat stance, but Luella waved her hands, trying to dissuade them.
“Not now. It’s not the right time for this. Fighting inside will cause too much damage to us.”
“So what should we do then? Luella, he’ll probably be really mad.”
“Just say I didn’t return.”
“What? How can we say you didn’t return when you’re here?”
“I used the teleportation skill to come back here alone. That means no one saw me pass through the mansion’s main gate.”
“Do you think Balder will believe that?”
“Even if he doesn’t believe it, what can we do if we insist from this side? Besides, there are people outside monitoring our mansion. If we ask them, they’ll confirm that I never entered this mansion.”
“And then?”
“I won’t move from here until he leaves. It’s only a few days away anyway. During that time, everyone can finish their busy tasks.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. As if the discussion had ended, Luella headed for the dining room.
“If anyone tries to check my bedroom, just show them around. I’ll be hiding in the kitchen.”
Considering Luella’s personality, it was unimaginable for Balder to venture all the way into the kitchen. She had learned from the past, like when she accidentally opened the kitchen door at the Camun Mansion and saw the head chef’s reaction.
The entrance became noisy. It seemed that the guards’ protests were being ignored, and Guild Master Balder was entering without hesitation.
Luella glanced out the window for a moment before quickly heading to the dining room.
