In the middle of the night when only Seira was home, two men entered the mansion. They were thieves who intended to take valuable objects in the knights' mansion without knowing what great risks awaited them later. Unfortunately Seira was caught by them when she was about to escape to report this to the guards outside.
They tied her to a chair with her hands behind her body. She was trapped with two men carrying swords in their hands.
'Gosh, they caught me like this. I have to do something to get myself out of here. But how?' she thought as she watched the two men who were staring at her at the moment.
"Look at this one servant lady, it turns out that there are women this beautiful in the mansion. No wonder, I bet you not only serve their daily needs but also satisfy them," said one of the men who was taller than the other.
"That's right, there's no way they'd let such a beautiful maid just do chores," the other man replied.
For a moment Seira was silent as she heard their words that she was sleeping with her employers. This made her feel offended and also upset that she was looked down upon by them.
However, she didn't let her emotions get the better of her, but instead used them to her advantage.
"It's true, I also fulfill everything that my masters want. Including their satisfying needs and I am their dearest servant. You know your actions would anger them if you dared to touch or even hurt their women, right?" asked Seira who smiled at them.
It was a smile she hadn't shown in a long time, but she was forced to do so to escape the situation.
"Heh, we can kill them with one hand. They must just be weak men covered in fancy clothes and other expensive items," they said.
Seira fell silent again when she heard that. 'So they didn't know that this is the mansion of the three knights that the entire empire fears? Turns out they were just stupid thieves who broke into a cage of wild animals.'
She sighed, making the two men feel astonished by her response. Thinking that what they said was true and no one could save her.
"Don't you know that this is the residence of those three cruel Emperor's dogs?" Seira asked them.
"You mean that famous knight? Pfft... We know this isn't their mansion. Are you trying to escape by scaring us? Too bad, you can't fool us!"
The two of them then laughed while looking at Seira, as if making fun of the woman who was trying to warn them.
"Then you will have to bear the consequences yourself. I already told you about that," she said.
But still they didn't believe her words at all.
"Never mind, we should look for valuables in the other rooms. I'm sure there are tons of expensive items in this mansion," said the tall man as he approached Seira and pulled her chin close. "This one lady we'll enjoy later after we get all that stuff as a sweet victory prize."
Seira who had always been calm, even in the presence of three dangerous people. In front of the two amateur thieves, she really did not show any fear at all, but instead showed a challenging gaze. As if to say, "Just try if you can touch me after this."
This was realized by those who felt that Seira was a foolish woman who did not know her current position. Just like the three knights had thought about her.
"You really are stupid and blind to your current situation, huh? You're bound and trapped together with us. We could have done anything to you, even can touch you and killed you, and no one would have been able to save you," he warned her.
"I know," she replied which made them smile with satisfaction. "But there are things you shouldn't do if you want to stay alive."
Suddenly Seira attacked them with the dagger in her hand. The two men were surprised, as they hadn't expected her to break free from their bonds.
It turned out that Seira had deliberately engaged them in conversation, just to escape. She moved both hands to loosen the ropes that bound her wrists together. Then she took out the dagger that had been under her sleeve.
The dagger she had taken out from under her clothes in closet since she left her room.
"What are you doing?!" said one of them in surprise when Seira managed to hit his face with her dagger.
Feeling the pain on his face, the man looked angry and drew his sword to fight Seira. He knew that his current weapon was only a small knife, so he grabbed whatever was in the kitchen to fight the man.
"Take this!" the man swung his sword at Seira. But she immediately jumped over the dining table and saw the sword shatter the dining table. It made a crack and it was so big that it almost split the table in half.
She was afraid that this situation wouldn't work in her favor at all, and she was trapped with two men carrying swords. But Seira couldn't just give up and she picked up a nearby chair and smashed it against the man's head.
"Damn it, you bitch! You dare attack me!?" he said as he yelled in annoyance and held his head which was hurting and also injured.
His friend who saw the incident, immediately helped him by attacking Seira as well. Reflexively, the woman grabbed a thick cutting board from under the table, and held the sword with it.
Because the swing was quite hard, the sword stuck into the thick wooden cutting board.
"Damn! My sword got caught on this damn thing!" he said in annoyance while trying to pull the sword back.
Seira smiled with a grin, then looked at the man. "Looks like someone lost their sword."
With all her might, she kicked him in the chest. She stepped on the wooden cutting board and pulled the sword loose from it.
"Give me back my sword!" he threatened, then grabbed a knife from the counter.
When the man swung the butcher knife, Seira immediately grabbed the flour not far away and threw it at the man's face until he lost the sight to see. His eyes stung so much, it distracted his focus.
"Too bad you won't get your sword back."
Although Seira was not used to using a long sword that was quite heavy, she tried to swing it at the man in front of her. But his friend, who had suffered a head wound earlier, came over and knocked Seira's sword out of her hand.
"Ah the sword!"
Splash!
The man helps his friend to clean his eyes from the flour that got into them.
"You damn servant girl! You dare to fight us?! Forget about touching this woman gently, I'll tie her up and use her again and again every day even until she begs to be killed, I'll still let her live a torturous life!" they said angrily.
"You guys underestimate me too much. Just because I'm a servant, doesn't mean I'm a weak woman like you think!" she said loudly and bravely against the two of them.
Hearing how brave Seira looked with their words, made them dislike her even more and thought of cutting off both her hands and feet so that she couldn't escape later.
Suddenly, her body was kicked until she fell to the floor. They were no longer thinking about touching her but wanted to torture her right away.
"Forget it! Let's just kill her right now for daring to do something like this to us!" He immediately raised his sword and swung it at Seira.
She had been surprised by the sudden movement when she was kicked by him. And now she saw the sword pointed at her.
'Am I going to die in this state? No, my duty isn't done yet. I can't die now and where will my face be when I meet her again,' Seira thought at that moment.
And as the sword swung at her, she closed her eyes while turning her face away. Trying to endure the pain that she would surely receive.
'Is this the end of my life? I haven't even started what I planned to do yet.'
'I'm sorry.'
SLASH!
