Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 161

“Bless you, moon goddess, and your champion. This one is eternally grateful for your compassion,” and he continued. Seeing him thanking the moon goddess, the rest of the slaves soon arrived at the same conclusion, and started giving thanks as well.

When Mila noticed the increase in prayers, she sneered. She originally wanted them all to die, but Ranz kept enough of his wits while enraged to ensure the safety of the slaves. She consented to this, as it was the whole reason he came in the first place, and it would increase his strength. They didn’t seem completely hopeless though, as the first one to start praying stopped a few moments later and started trying to direct the others to a safer location.

two, knew they couldn’t stay in the middle of the city forever, as the buildings around them were still being damaged and at least one fire had started already. He then walked to the nearest slave and said,

Come on, we have to get to safety. Help me gather as many slaves as possible. Mila and her champion wouldn’t want their effort to go to waste. The other slave nodded, not caring that the one talking to him was a beastman, and they started their work. two then led them all to the only place he could think of, the Office, as they helped any other slaves they ran into along the way. When they reached the giant building, there were over a hundred people following him when someone else led a group out of it. He and everyone who followed him froze as they came face to face with the very woman the entire city had spent the last week hunting.

Nida looked in surprise at all the slaves in front of her, before they all started kneeling before her. She was shocked but didn’t let it show, as she tried to make sense of what was going on. She looked around and saw the blood-red moon and what seemed to be several hundred werewolves running around and attacking everyone in sight, except the slaves. Then a tiger beastman shouted out,

“We give thanks to the wife of the champion who helped free us!” She then started to understand that they must have thought that when the werewolves didn’t attack them, that they were sent by Ranz and Mila to save them from slavery. Nida couldn’t confirm or deny their guesses, though, as she herself had no idea why this was happening.

Before she could say anything, however, a werewolf saw Robert and the rest of the gladiators without collars, and immediately charged them. She simply stood in front of them, much to Robert’s annoyance, as it was supposed to be the other way around, and the werewolf stopped before her. Recognizing its new masters’ mate, it immediately exposed its vulnerable areas in a show of submission before Nida let it leave. After this display, not only the slaves, but the gladiators as well, we’re all convinced they made the right choice. She then turned to all of them and said, with a tone of command,

Change in plans: go and help all of the slaves you can. Prioritize women and children, and bring them to the Office for safety. Draft any capable man to help you, and save as many as possible. I’ll stay out here to organize them. They all nodded with newfound discipline and started helping those already there enter the office. Robert then removed the collar of one woman who was staying, before clicking it back onto his own neck. Everyone looked at him in shock, until he said,

“We need to ensure they don’t attack us, so we need the collars.” As they understood his intentions, the rest of the gladiators started taking collars from the ones staying at the office as well. Soon after they all started leaving, Robert turned to Nida and was about to ask something, before he noticed her lightly caressing her stomach. He suddenly recalled his wife doing something similar, and paled before he asked her quietly,

“My queen, are you… expecting?” He almost hesitated to ask, but she looked back at him, and he turned green with anger as she slowly nodded to confirm it. He then said,

Please allow me to stay and guard you. I understand that you might not need it, but you need to avoid any stressful movements, even in the early stages. ” Nida was surprised at his request before she decided to accept. It was the same reason she decided to stay at the entrance and help organize everything. After a while, slaves started arriving in droves as word spread throughout the city. Soon, though, some werewolves surprisingly brought her someone she didn’t expect.

After watching his king antagonize Mila, Randell knew he would have to prepare to leave the kingdom. Others would think he was a coward, but he thought of himself as practical. He didn’t know if she would retaliate immediately, but he prepared all the same. He was in his office, throwing all of his most valuable items into his bag and had his rapier at his waist. As he prepared to leave, night fell and he saw the blood moon outside his window. Randell knew he made the correct decision to leave.

He heard the screams as he was about to walk out of his office, and recalled the nearest secret escape tunnel. Normally, the royal family were the only ones who knew about these, but he secretly investigated everything he could about the castle ahead of time. He looked back at his desk, and grabbed the last thing he wanted before leaving, a decorative pen his father gave him when he started advising the king. He stuck it in his pocket, not even concerned with the ink stains at the moment. Randell then made his way through the castle, as he had another destination in mind before fleeing. As he turned to the tower, the princess was locked in.

Lady didn’t think she would be able to cry anymore after this last week. She watched as her hero was attacked and knocked out, then he was imprisoned while she was locked in a tower, almost as much a prisoner as she was. Every day for the last week, her maid would come to attend her, while also sharing every detail about Ranz’s torture, possibly on her father’s orders. She also heard about how the entire city was on the search for Nida, who she was informed carried Ranz’s child just today.

As the sun went down that day, she saw the red moon rise, and after several minutes, she heard the yelling, as monsters spread from the prisons to attack. As she watched the people, she was prepared to sacrifice herself. She only felt numb. She no longer felt the need to care about them, as the only person who genuinely cared about her was having his most important person hunted by them. As they started to multiply, her door opened and Mila’s champion, Randell, walked in. He took one look at her, and he suddenly grabbed her arm and started dragging her.

“You’re coming with me, princess. Your father was gathering his best in the main hall when he brought this on us to begin with. By morning, the city will be in ruins, and everyone will most likely be dead. Lady didn’t know what to do, but frowned and said,

“No! I’m staying. Randell’s face twitched, before he suddenly backhanded her. Lady was stupefied. She had never been hit before and didn’t know what to think. He suddenly grabbed her by the chin, and forced her to meet his eyes, and said,

By morning, everyone you know will be dead, and it is all because of the one you seem to be infatuated with. Ranz most likely won’t care about a princess from an already destroyed kingdom. You are mine. ” Lady felt an intense fear of her future. She knew that Randell was always interested in her, but she never accepted him because she knew he saw women merely as targets to conquer. Before either of them said anything, there was a sudden shaking, and a hole opened up beneath her, and Lady disappeared.

Randell heard her shout, as there were several roars in response from the monsters. The sound of her shouting got further away, as did the majority of them. He still had one monster remaining, though, as it tried to climb through the hole to get him. Randell immediately pulled out his rapier and started to attack the monster trying to get him. He stuck it into its arm, and it immediately grabbed the blade without any care for further injuries, pulling it out of his hands before tossing it away. Randell watched as it started to heal the minor wounds, seemingly instantly, and backed up to the wall with apparently no other options.

As it climbed out of the hole and started crawling closer, Randell fumbled, looking for any weapon to use.
