Chapter 217: What Else is Hidden In This House?

"But on a real note, why do they appear so listless?" Hae-in asked while looking at Seris and Melzri who had unfocused eyes.

"Ahem* I would like to know this as well," Zenobia asked with a red face, she didn't know what to think because the way the rope was tied was quite embarrassing so she tried to change the subject but didn't forget to make a mental note about this since Haru liked it according to Jin-ah (The most reliable source about Haru after Kurumi Of course[Kurumi: I am number one!]).

"That is because they are under an Illusion because of my Defensive magic circles," Queresha stated as she stood up from her spot.

"Queresha it is just a question, how many defensive Magic circles are around the house since the ones you told me didn't include an Illusion magic circle?" Zenobia asked since Queresha named about 20 defensive magic to her before and the illusion wasn't one of them.

"70 Magic Circles and 168 Magic traps," Queresha said while tapping her chin leaving Zenobia a bit bamboozled.

'Isn't that going a bit overboard,' Everyone thought while looking at Queresha when they heard her mutter 'It still isn't enough,'

"I think you have done a wonderful job Resha no need to do more," Haru said trying to stop her from adding more since it was already overkill at this point.

"If My Lord says so~," Queresha spoke slowly with a smile (She has made up her mind to add more since Haru praised her,).

[E/N: I think Queresha has more chances of becoming a Yandere than Hae-in,]

Haru sighed and then they turned to look at the two intruders again.

"So did they come here alone? Also why is Randel sleeping upstairs, didn't he leave?" Haru asked as he felt Randel on the second floor.

"It was these two who brought him here, Maybe to use as a leverage to get Zenobia out without making a scene," Queresha concluded since she was quite close to Zenobia, she understood how Zenobia would react to the situation.

As for how she concluded they were after Zenobia? Well, it was quite obvious.

"If I was alone I probably would've gone with them," Feeling everyone's gaze Zenobia confirmed it was as Queresha said.

'It is not like I had anyone else to live for,' Zenobia kept the thought in her mind as Randel was her only family left.

"So what do we do now? If I remember correctly Haru you said these guys are the Scythes under Agrona who wants to take over this continent," Jin-ah said while rubbing her chin.

Zenobia just listened with a passive look since she had heard about it from Queresha who filled her in about the info they had on the second continent.

She was surprised when she heard about the power difference between the two continents and how Alacrya had almost completed their preparations for the war, while Dicathen hasn't even started yet. Hell, they are still trying to keep each other in check even now when the three kingdoms have come together.

Normally Zenobia would be overly worried since no matter how much she hated the royalty this continent was still her home and she didn't want to see it being destroyed.

Hearing their answer Queresha sighed heavily and looked at Haru who gave her a little thumbs up making her smile. She got herself a little reward so it wasn't that bad.

"Also why is there no mention of Haru and Zenobia Unnie here?" Jin-ah asked.

"That is because both My lord and Zenobia aren't affected by illusions at all, It is really a surprise in Zenobia's case so we have been studying it together," Queresha said with a little excitement.

"That is amazing," Haru clapped in amazement, it made sense for him to not be caught in an illusion but Zenobia's case was surprising.

Zenobia got a little shy at Haru's praise but smiled nonetheless.

"I'll crush you someday," Kanae said as she found a new goal.

'Ah, does Kanae hate me now? No that doesn't seem like her but if it is true then my chances will....' Zenobia was thinking about what happened.

"Don't worry she doesn't mean it in a way of 'I'll beat you to death,' She means she'll get better,," Haru explained and the others nodded as well.

"Ah, Sure then," Zenobia sighed in relief as she looked at Kanae.

"Why did you even need to explain that, Huh?" Kanae got mad as she looked at everyone.

"Because your words needed an explanation," Queresha said with a smile and Kanae clicked her tongue.

"Alright now let's get back to the main topic, Queresha let them be like this till I meet their leader, we'll deal with them later," Haru said and Queresha nodded snapping her fingers.

Seris and Melzri vanished from the spot.

"Where did they go?" Jin-ah gasped at the sudden disappearance of the two.

"They were sent to the prison in the basement by the teleportation circle," Queresha said and saw everyone looking at her.

"We have a prison in the house?" Haru asked since he didn't know about it and Queresha nodded.

"Since when did we had a teleportation circle in the house?" Hae-in asked.

"Oh, I didn't tell you guys about it?" Queresha asked and everyone nodded they really didn't know.

"Sorry about that I must have forgotten but I already registered your mana in the circle, so you can move around the house using it and you can even use it to move around things if you want to," Queresha explained and the others nodded blankly.

"So, I can go to the toilet with it?" Jin-ah asked bringing everyone's attention to herself.
