Chapter 340 - Cleaning Up Some Pests
(Alpha POV)
*Meanwhile*
"Are you a hundred percent certain?" I asked, looking down at the group of coachmen who had gathered outside the stables after tying up their horses.
All of the villa's servants and I were gathered at the edge of a cliff directly above the group, watching their every movement without them knowing of our presence.
Beta nodded at me, "After Master left them, they started talking about how they would need to block off the entrances and get rid of the servants in the villa. They were also commenting on how to rape any maids they found."
"Interesting… And Delta, you said that guy is supposed to be the Queen's uncle?"
"High Priestess Diao Chan said so herself," The elf confirmed.
I clicked my teeth, "So any suggestions on what we should do with these heathens?"
"Cut them all up and feed them to the fishes," Gamma stated simply, her halberd already held in her hands.
The others all nodded their heads in agreement.
I looked down at the pieces of trash, "Hmm… Let's capture them first before we kill them. Everyone, move to your positions. I shall serve as the distraction while also confirming their intentions."
The others immediately scattered, leaving me to make my way down the cliff via a narrow pathway that I descended without much trouble.
The path brought me round the corner of the stables, allowing me to approach the coachmen looking like I had just came from the villa itself.
The men who had been talking in hushed whispers immediately went silent as soon as they saw me, all of them staring at me like I caught them doing something they weren't supposed to.
"Good day," I greeted them with a disarming smile. "Are you all part of the new group that came in this morning? I am Alpha, the current acting Head Maid of the villa."
One of them stepped forward, his body bulging with muscles which made him stand out in that group. I noted the rather obvious scars that were displayed on his forearms and a thin one across his cheek.
"Oh, nice to meet ya. Sorry about barging in unannounced but ya know our boss is kind of hard to deny so here we are."
I lowered my chin slightly, "Indeed… Is there anything you gentlemen would require?"
"Oh yes!" He replied without hesitation. "We were hoping yer could show us where we could get our horses watered and fed and such."
I managed to keep smiling at him without showing any other emotion. Everything the horses needed were displayed quite prominently beside the stable including the bales of hay that were kept in the nearby barn. Unless these people were completely blind or handling horses for the first time in their lives, there was no way they could have missed it.
"Of course," I nodded, gesturing behind them. "If you would just follow me?"
"Aye, thankya very much, miss."
The group of men parted ways, eyeing me as I walked in between them to guide them back to the stables.
It was thanks to my lupine hearing that I managed to catch the whisper of "Damn that's a fine ass" from one of the men.
I seethed inwardly, though still careful not to reveal my true feelings on my face. This body belongs to Master alone and anyone else that even dared to look at me with that disgusting desire will have their eyes gouged out.
Calming myself by imagining how I would do just that to that guy later, I managed to lead them towards the place without much incident.
Entering the barn, I gestured towards the bales of hay, "Here, you can use that as the horse feed and the pump for water is just outside the front door, so everything should be--"
I was interrupted by the slamming of the barn's door, causing me to turn around with mock surprise on my face.
Their leader was approaching me like a predator approaching its prey, licking his lips in quite the disgusting manner.
"Heh heh… I think we all know how this is going to go eh, missus?" He chuckled, showing me his rows of yellow teeth.
I schooled my expression back into one of a smile, "Oh, there is no need for that, I am here to serve. You just needed to ask and I will be happy to oblige. Why don't you strip for me?"
The men were stunned by my response, even the leader himself hesitated for a moment before his lips curled back upwards into a smirk.
"Oh yeah, we got ourselves an eager one boys. This is gunna be fun!"
"Not fair boss! We wanna go too!" One of the others cried out from the back.
"Oh shut it," He growled back before turning back to me. "Don't suppose the other maids 'ere are as eager as you are?"
I maintained my smiling facade, "Oh, they are really, really eager. Are you going to strip? Or are you going to keep a lady waiting?"
The piece of trash almost tripped over himself trying to get his pants off.
He only managed to get one of his legs out of his pants before I did a slicing motion with my right hand.
A moment later, his left hand detached itself from his wrist, dropping down onto the floor with a thud.
Blood spurted out from his decapitated wrist, the insect taking a second longer before his body actually registered the pain.
"ARRRRGGHH!! MY HAND!!" He screamed, falling back onto his haunches.
"Oh my," I gasped, hiding my smile behind my right hand. "Whatever happened to you, dear sir?"
"You… You bitch! Arrggh! I'll kill you!" He roared, standing up to draw his sword with his only good hand.
The rest of his men were still in confusion, so they were definitely not expecting Beta to drop down from the ceiling on top of them, instantly knocking several of them to the ground and pinning them there with throwing knives that pierced their limbs.
Gamma had came charging out from behind the hay bales, knocking over half of them with her charge. One of the insects was unfortunate enough to have his entire arm sliced clean off by her halberd.
Not realising what was going on behind him, the leader charged straight towards me.
Of course, my smiling facade was still there for him to see, not wavering in the slightest even as he got closer and closer. That was why he did not expect an arrow to appear from behind me, impaling itself on his shoulder and forcing him to stop in his tracks, his weapon clattering noisily onto the floor.
I waved my hand to send Delta a thanks while I made my way towards him slowly.
His other goons were now being captured by the rest of our followers, all of them being disarmed in both the metaphorical and literal sense.
The man groaned and reached for his sword, his fingers brushing against the handle.
For that, I stepped on his hand with my high heels, the heel tip piercing through his hand.
He gave another scream of pain while I casually kicked his weapon away with my blood soaked heel. I frowned slightly at the stain, I would have to burn these and get a new one later. There is no way I would show Master anything but a perfect appearance, discounting last night of course.
"Alpha, should we kill them now?" Delta asked, stepping out of the shadows with her bow still nocked with an arrow.
I waved my hand, "Not yet, they've made it personal… And also…"
Bending down to look at the leader with the most contempt I could muster, I snarled, "You are going to tell me everything you know before I skin you alive and make your men wear it. Take them to the Reeducation Chambers."
