My Child Is A Villain - CH 15

“Help me!”

“What can I do for you?”

“Someone kidnapped my child.”

“Yes? That rarely happens here. Did you see what the kidnapper looks like?”

“I didn’t see him. But he put on a robe and used magic!”

“Magic?!”

Only then did the guard’s attitude become more serious. He asked Adele in more detail and reported directly to the higher-ups.

“Can you tell me where you live, I will contact your family.”

Adele stammered to tell the location of Lucas’ mansion.

“Oh, that mansion.”

“That mansion?”

“Where a high-ranking noble from abroad lives.”

They decided to move a little busier. There’s no point in getting into trouble with a noble from another country.

Therefore, they were busy moving quickly in order to be able to solve this case before that happened.

Adele also decided to move with them.

‘Don’t cry. Crying will only cloud your vision.’

At least I couldn’t cry until I found the children.

Adele gritted her teeth and took a step. And she moved along with the guards.

I have to do everything I can to save Ronschka. I can’t hurt that little boy again.

Her innocent-looking green eyes shone fiercely this time.

‘No matter what.’

I have to save the children, even by throwing myself.

In a cafeteria with an open interior, a man who was drinking tea inside turned his gaze outside.

“This city is so noisy. Hey, come here.”

Then, he called in a passing guard and stopped him. The guard froze in shock at the man who called out to him, for he has an outstanding appearance.

His clear glass-like red eyes, his upright nose, and his closed mouth are alluring. The man with slightly curly red hair tied up asked, “What’s going on?”

“Oh, two children have been kidnapped.”

“Who is the kidnapper?”

“They say he looks like a wizard.”

“Tell me more.”

He had to go find the children right away, but he felt an irresistible sense of intimidation from the man.

Eventually, the guard told him the same story he had heard from Adele.

“I’m sure he is not an ordinary wizard. Why would wizards who are thoroughly controlled kidnap normal children?”

If you want, the country will supply any number of sinners. Then, there is only one possibility, a warlock.

“A-a warlock?”

The man clicked his tongue and let the guard go.

“Go away now.”

“Yes? Oh, yes!”

The man kicked his tongue while looking at the tea he didn’t drink much.

“Rosaline, get up.”

“Yes, Father.”

At the man’s words, the little girl on the other side rose from her seat.

The girl with pink hair and red eyes looks no more than seven or eight years old, but her expression is too stiff. She also looks like a doll.

“It’s practice. Summon the spirit and look for traces of the warlock.”

“Yes, Father.”

Rosaline immediately summoned the spirit. It’s a low-level water spirit that looks like a small fish.

“Undine, find a warlock in this city.”

As it is the lowest among the ranks of the spirits, its ability isn’t great, but its understanding is excellent due to its daily interactions with her. The water spirit quickly disappeared as it swam through the air.

After that, it’s a mental battle. The further away the spirit is, the more power you use, the harder it becomes for the Elemantalist.

Rosaline’s legs, which had stood upright at first, began to tremble.

It was hard and painful. But Rosaline did not give up.

She came all the way here with her father. He didn’t want to disappoint him. So she worked hard enough to die, and finally found him!

“I-I found him.”

Blood flowed from her nose because she used too much power.

However, Rosaline wiped her bloody nose with her sleeve as if it was no big deal.

“Incompetent.”

A cold voice fell over her head. Rosaline bowed her head.

She didn’t want to disappoint her father, but apparently, she is still lacking. That fact is very painful for her.

“Then let’s move.”

The man, who heard the location from his spirit attached to Rosaline’s one, left the cafe and walked out slowly. It was fine to move as slowly as the warlock’s location was known.

* * *

Ronschka opened his eyes slowly. For some reason, his head was dizzy and his body was trembling.

Tracing his cloudy memory, he remembered what had happened right before he collapsed. He remembered being caught by a strange man and his mother screaming for him.

When he turned his gaze to the side, he saw Leon, who was also tied and collapsed.

“Hehe, test subjects, two great test subjects!”

The warlock was jumping for joy. He was lucky to find test subjects in a city he happened to come to.

It was clear the guards were tracking him because of the trouble he caused in the city, but the man whose mind had been clouded was unable to comprehend the situation. He’s just happy.

“A knight and an Elementalist!”

There are many things he can do with beings that harbored mana.

Especially, Elementalists! They are rarer than wizards, and they have unique mana, so they are highly sought-after experimental subjects.

“What should I do with the Elementalist?”

Several experiments appeared in the warlock’s mind. Of course, the suffering of the test subjects was a terrible thing he was not considered.

“Ah, I’ll go to the hideout first.”

Even with his mind clouded, he knew it wasn’t good to stay here. But just as he was hurrying to take care of the children, he suddenly felt something in the air.

“Huh?”

The warlock, who was hastily lifting the children, suddenly turned his head. His usually hazy mind cleared and his senses returned.

“Spirit.”

Someone is tracking him. He wondered if it was the child who summoned it, but it didn’t seem like it.

“There is another Elementalist.”

Is he a child with strong backing? The warlock ruffled his hair nervously.

He kidnapped the children in the city. He should have known something like this would happen.

It’s too late to regret.

“I have to give up on the children.”

That’s a rational decision. But another inside of him screamed not wanting to give up on the test subjects!

Yeah, there’s no way a capable Elementalist can appear in such a small city. They always stay in the capital, or on the battlefield.

“Let’s kill him. Let’s kill the Elementalist child.”

The warlock’s eyes turned black and a strange laugh leaked out.

He is also a warlock with excellent skills, so he’s confident that he can deal with quite a few spirits.

“First, my test subjects.”

The warlock smirked and lifted the children up again. And at that moment, hot flames shot onto his face.

“Argh!”

At the same time, the children untied the rope, got up, and started running away.

While the warlock behaved bizarrely, Ronschka summoned a fire spirit to burn the rope, then gave him a sudden attack and ran.

“M-my test subjects!”

The warlock chased after the children with a face reddened by the flames.

Ronschka always thought Lucas’ training was difficult, but he didn’t find it harder to run than before.

Still running, Ronschka whispered to the fire spirit, “Attack, attack more!”

The warlock screamed in anger at the annoying flames.

“I won’t let you go once I catch you!”

Goosebumps all over his body. Ronschka and Leon ran with all their might.

However, no matter how trained a child is, the gap with an adult cannot be easily bridged. The two felt the warlock getting closer.

* * *

Adele wandered through the forest without even thinking to wipe the sweat from her forehead. At first, she was with the guards, then scattered and met again.

But that doesn’t matter. Adele moves better in the forest than they do. Because she originally lived there.

Adele moved busily, trying to find a trace.

‘A person passed by. It hasn’t been long, so there will be traces.’

Traces left by animals are distinguishable. To get something to eat in the forest, you have to be able to read the basic traces. If you do something wrong, you can run into a bear or beast and die.

‘Ronschka, Leon!’

She held back the urge to shout out loud.

She couldn’t feel the sharpness of the branches brushing her cheeks. She didn’t care about the messy fingertips or feet. She only thought of the children.

Then, in the distance, she saw a blazing red flame.

“Ronschka!”

It was Ronschka’s fire spirit. The number of flames visible increased gradually and embroidered the sky like fireworks.

Adele rushed towards it in a more impetuous movement than when her house caught fire before. Her breath caught in her throat, but she didn’t stop.

When she finally approached a small clearing, she was able to identify Ronschka and Leon.
