The Villainess Wants To Go Home

Chapter 83 - Thief

I glanced from behind at the little boy whose hood had draped over his head to hide his identity from

everyone. His hand had taken a hold of my wrist with a firm grip as he pulled me towards the only

getaway entrance.

I was baffled, in a situation like this my mind went blank for the first time. 'This little boy, what is he

thinking getting himself involved in this matter when he could run and avoid everything. Tch, I won't

take responsibility for you if something were to happen'

Nevertheless, I followed his command and ran, following his lead as he pulled my hand.

"DON'T LET HER ESCAPE!" Edmond bark of order made the cloak figures step in to make the gaps

between them unescapable.

But it was too late for them to block our exit as Homura, the little boy and I ran past them, dodging their

hands from grabbing a hold of any of us, Homura had leaped away as one dived in to catch him.

"HAHAH suck on my tail, you overgrown sac of dog shit" Homura chuckled and mocked at the cloaked

finger that stumbled back up.

The thief had let go of my hand the moment we escaped through the circle of Assassins that © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

surrounded us "follow me. I know these streets and hidden alley way more than anyone" he explain

with a soft tone as we ran into the scurrying crowd that ran for the lives and for some unknown reason

the boy had made sure to stay beside me so he wouldn't lose me in the wailing crowd of people.

"No, we don't need your help. Artemis always knows what to do with these brainless humans" Homura

said proudly, his little fox body ran between each person's legs, going under or around making sure he

wasn't kicked by one.

I smirked at his comment 'Aww thanks Homura. That still doesn't guarantee the fact I will drop you kick

you, though'

"Thanks kid but I'm 100% sure I can lose them with or without your help" I told him. I glanced down at

the thief who was able to keep up with me but further examination I can see this amount of speed is not

his usual and he was going to run out of stamina very soon. Either way I'm impressed he could force

his legs to run fast like me.

I dodged past a woman and her kid that came in my way, sliding to the left before continuing to ran

after Homura and the thief.

The natural light had made it clear for me to see his disbelief facial expression and those silver eyes

that glanced at me as if I was being dumb or I was just naturally dumb.

"GET HER AND THAT LYING THIEF" Edmond's voice was just audible against the bustling of the

people that ran as if their lives were in trouble. I didn't look back to see if they are running after me as I

already knew they would.

"Oh shit" the little thief boy squeaked as he peeked his head back, he forced himself to run faster.

I gave him a side glance "Your really are a fool" I told him following him to the corner of the street.

"What are you implying lady?" he said with a puff.

"You shouldn't mess with people who look dodgy, especially those guys" I explained to him as we

seeming ran through a deserted pathway with people walking beside it.

"I didn't steal anything from them. They offered to give me a handsome amount of money for

information regarding on you" he said eyeing me up and down with a playful grin cross his face.

I sweat dropped at what he said, scanning his mischievous expression I don't think he is telling me the

full details of what kind of information he provided the douchebags and his dogs. "And judging by

you're the way you present yourself, I think you sent them on a wild goose chase with no goose"

Those light silvers reflected how the cheekiness of his personality and how impressed he was with my

analytical skills. The corner of his lips perched to a side grin. "They wanted to know if an Isvandy was

here in Taivas, and I answered them truthfully however they never specified if they wanted to know

exactly where you were. Gives them a good reason never to cross past a thief like me"

"heheh, I like the way this human brat thinks" Homura said from beside him. I didn't respond to him but

continued to gaze at the boy, staring blankly at the little thief who was too smart for his own good.

"How are you still alive and not dead?" I said sarcastically.

"I get by" he shrugged before leaping over a crate which didn't surprise me at all.

"I can totally see that" I sighed.

"Who are they even and why are they after you? Don't tell you also stole something from them to piss

them off" he said with a hint of gleam in his eyes as if he found his long lost idle. I looked away with a

deadpan expression.

"For your information kid, I don't steal unless my life is on the line and second the person, we, well you

in general fucked with is the prince from Terra" I explained to him, I gave him a side glance. His mouth

was wide opened that even a bug could fly in and choke him, he was in complete shock as the colour

on his face started to drain.

The kid slowly turned his head back to take another peek, his silver eyes beginning to shake in fear. I

could read what he was thinking just by the expression he was pulling. 'He fucked big time'

"I fucked up" he mumbled.

"Huh that's his problem not ours" Homura ridiculed with a chuckle of his fox laughter.

I quickly stole a glance from behind, I nearly tripped over my words from last time. These spades were

far more elite and faster than the ones from Argentum. They were quick on their feet, and they were

swiftly catching up to us.

Each one swiftly and gracefully dodging each person, leaping over carriages that or wagons past them.

They were like elite ninjas or something.

Damon must have assigned his best assassins after me. 'That fucking bastard what is trying to pull, I'm

already having a hard time dealing with Edmond why do I need to deal with this shit. Whatever it's not

like they can compare to my skills'

With my original body I would have gone faster but this one is yet still too weak and fragile. **** is just

pissing me off right now.

An incoming wagon had made me move to the side, splitting me from Homura and the thief and

resulting me to get blocked by a few crates stacked up and a stall that was being set up by a few

people dressed in the regular common attire of the Middle Ages.

'Tch' I clicked my tongue in annoyance. Without any hesitation I jumped up, stepping on the man's back

who he was bending over to pick up a wooden crate and giving myself enough force to leap into the air,

flipping forward into a swirl over the crates before landing silently on the dirt ground.

I didn't take a glance back and ran after the thief and Homura.

"Woah" the glimmer of amazement that the boy pulled, his mouth widening into a huge o shaped form

while he stared at me.

"How did you do that?" he said.

"Don't ask any quest-" I felt an incoming hot attack, dodging to the side with a near miss of a fireball I

looked back to see one of the mask men creating another ball of fire with his hand.

"That was dangerously close" the thief said also glancing back. "Who knew one of them was from

Drakon" he said.

I scowled in frustration.

"Fire. I hate fire" Homura gulped. "First, metal humans, fox eating dragons, a wrinkly human, bad man

cave and now people who throw fireballs at us. What's next earth spikes?"

'Homura, don't you dare jinx it' I sent him a hostile glare that he didn't even see.
