The Obsessive Duke Desires Me
Chapter 4 - Midnight Raven
Trafficker B
Quickly! Shove the brats in there!
In the dead of night, the sound of a cattle carriage approached and upon arrival was greeted by the two men.
Yanking at a rope, pulling children tied by the wrists from a basement, they both shouted at them to hurry up, shoving them into the dirty, old animal manure without a second thought for their health.
Trafficker B
Argh, how did we get compromised?
Trafficker A
I don't know, but apparently, the Emperor's men will raid this place tomorrow morning.
Trafficker A
We need to get a move on in order to get a head start.
Trafficker B
Tsk, all this trouble, just to sell off these brats.
Trafficker B
No one wants children as playthings anymore, ever since that man took on the title of Duke.
Trafficker A
Oh, that guy? The Duke Of A Thousand Eyes?
The man slammed the door of the carriage and nodded.
Trafficker B
Yeah, he knows everything about everyone. All of nobility have skeletons in their closet.
Trafficker B
Insult the Brekker family, and those skeletons will be aired out for all to see!
Suddenly, the light from the moon suddenly dimmed around them.
Liana Brekker
Well, what do we have here...
Liana Brekker
Two scumbags, running away in the dead of night.
Both of the men looked up at the cloaked figure hiding away the moon.
Trafficker B
W-What? Who are you?
Trafficker A
Are you part of the Emperor's Guard?
Liana Brekker
I don't see how my identity will make a difference to your outcome...
The shadow then slipped what appeared to be a glass dice from her pocket, letting it shine in the moonlight.
Liana Brekker
Either way, passerby or Emperor's guard, I won't let you get away.
Jumping down from the roof above, a slim figure slipping out from under the cloak before a flash of light blinded both of the men.
The dice divided into two, lighting up to become two glass daggers.
Slipping between both of the men by the time they could blink, the shadow slipped her foot underneath one of the trafficker's legs, making him fall to the ground.
Turning around just in time to block a blow from a dagger that one of the men had swung, they soon realised that this wasn't just any glass.
Trafficker B
Wait, why didn't that-
In a split-second, something hard hit his nose and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Trafficker A
H-Hey, we can talk about this-
Then, there was silence, apart from the little whimpers and shivers of the children inside.
As the doors opened, they all huddled together in utter fear as the shadow became in full view of the children.
Just as they braced, thinking that these were going to be their final moments, the shadow took off her hood.
Liana Brekker
Hello there.
Liana Brekker
Why don't you let me take you all somewhere safe, okay?

I think it's depth instead of dead, right?
