Duchy Is Under Attack [2]

___

THE DUCHY IS ON UNDER ATTACK!

___

What the fuck? How is this happening?! Did the tyranny Central Union discover that I was gifted a Pyro-seed?

If that's the case, then fuck it! I knew this would happen...

For sure, those are the words I'm going to say if I hadn't studied how the government of this world works.

How so? Well, this so-called 'Central Union' isn't so barbaric enough to just invade a Duchy and needlessly risk so many lives just because I somehow gifted a Pyro-seed on my birthday.

Then, if that wasn't the case, then who would be brave enough to attack the duchy if it wasn't the Center Union?

Well, none other than the Revenire Family.

Yes, that's right, that fucking family again. However, I can't just accuse them without any solid evidence.

Because the Revenire family isn't our only enemy.

"Fuck, I wish I had something that could help me right now," I frowned as I looked up and saw that the words on the holographic screen had once again changed.

___

COMMAND CAN NOT BE ANSWERED AT THE MOMENT DUE TO THE CURRENT ORDER.

___

Ahh, wait, I almost forgot about this system because I was confused at that time.

But isn't this the AI system that was built under my bed to protect me in case of an emergency?

If that's really the case, then maybe this system can help me figure out who the fuck invaded us.

"Uh... hi," I said, unsure of what to say at first. "Do you know what exactly is happening right now?" I asked.

As soon as I said that, the system lit up with a vivid red light, giving a warning signal.

___

( ! )

___

Before, it changed.

___

COMMAND CANNOT BE ANSWERED AT THE MOMENT DUE TO THE CURRENT ORDER.

___

Hmm? What is this thing talking about, the current order? Did Aria put some kind of shitty program on it? Well maybe.

"!!!"

Ahh! Wait, I forgot! Again. what a Stupid memory of mine.

Anyway, as far as I can remember, I accidentally mumbled a command to this system about what was happening outside a while ago.

And because of that, this system proceeded to fulfill that command by controlling all of the surveillance cameras within the mansion.

"Yes, we have fucking security cameras within the mansion," I remarked.

Anyway, maybe that's the reason why it didn't want to process the command. Cuz It's still processing to complete its first command.

"Argh, damnit! Why did I say that command?" I mumbled out of frustration, knowing that it was my fault.

"Ha...." as I let out a frustrated sigh.

There's no time for self-blaming. What's done is done, and there's no need for that anymore!

What I need to do now is, I guess, to wait for this thing to complete its first order.

'I hope it won't take too long, but it did. Five minutes later...' I thought, hopefully.

Five minutes later...

___

COMMAND COMPLETE...

___

"Argh! Finally, it's done! It almost drove me insane! Out of boredom," I retorted.

___

ALL SURVEILLANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE. PLEASE CLICK THE (CAM SECTION) ICON.

___

"What is this? Click the icon, what?" I mumbled, and without thinking, I clicked the icon in the blue.

Damn it, intrusive thoughts of mine! Grii...

The moment I clicked that button, a list of all the available surveillance cameras instantly appeared.

___

PLACE CLINK THE WHICH FLOOR AND SECTION YOU WANT.

[CAM F0 S1] [CAM F0 S2] [CAM F0 S3] [CAM F1 S1] [CAM F1 S2] [CAM F1 S3]

[CAM F2 S1] [CAM F2 S2] [CAM F2 S3]

[CAM F3 S1] [CAM F3 S2] [CAM F3 S3]

[CAM F4 S1] [CAM F4 S2] [CAM F4 S3]

Note:

F-STANDS FOR FLOOR

S-STANDS FOR SECTION

___

"Whoa, that's a long-ass list," I said in an amused tone, with a confused look on my face.

"So many numbers," I said once again, as I accidentally clicked [CAM F1 S2], opening the surveillance cam.

___

CONNECTING TO SURVEILLANCE CAM NO. [CAM F1 S2]. PLEASE WAIT...

___

Grii!! If this thing takes one hell of a long time to complete, I'll really destroy it!

Luckily, it didn't...

After a short while, the image on

[CAM F1 S2] finally showed up.

"What the fuck... are those real?" I cursed in disbelief after seeing what was going on on camera NO. [CAM F1 S2].

Scratches and blood stains covered the walls, indicating an intense battle that had just occurred.

The lifeless bodies of our housemaids and Knights were leaning up against the corner wall of the hallway, one after another.

As blood dripped from the pile of corpses, it spread across the floor, resembling a pool of blood.

It was a shocking and disturbing sight, but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of excitement.

Wait, what the fuck, why am I feeling excited over seeing those dead bodies?

'What am I a fucking psychopath?' I thought before I fell into deep silence.

"..."

Anyway, I quickly tapped to change the camera on [CAM F1 S2] back to the cam list

To separate the useless ones from the useful ones, after all, I needed to get a better grasp of the situation and see what was really going on.

Unfortunately, all the surveillance cameras on the ground floor ([CAM F0 S1], [CAM F0 S2], [CAM F0 S3]) were taken down.

The same goes for the surveillance cameras on the second floor ([CAM F2 S1], [CAM F2 S2], [CAM F2 S3]) and the third floor ([CAM F3 S1], [CAM F3 S2], [CAM F3 S3]).

So the only available surveillance cameras that were not destroyed were on the fourth floor ([CAM F4 S1], [CAM F4 S2], [CAM F4 S3]) and the first floor ([CAM F1 S1], [CAM F1 S2], [CAM F1 S3]).

However, these Cam were kinda useless as well because of the blurriness on the cam.

Which leaves [CAM F1 S3] [CAM F4 S2] leaving only two of them with useful information.

[CAM F1 S3], which was positioned on the stairs leading up to the second floor, and [CAM F4 S2], which was positioned along the hallway directly towards my room.

After confirming this, I disregarded the useless cameras and focused on monitoring these two: [CAM F1 S3] and [CAM F4 S2].

"So these two are the ones that are working," I said to myself as I began to monitor these two surveillance cameras.

To see what is going on by motoring it, cuz I can't really do a single shit as of right now.

All I can do is to collect some useful information for my revenge, that right revenge! I am gonna skin them really quickly!

Other than that, there was really nothing I could do but wait for them to open this coffin or take matters into my own hands, which I wasn't going to do.

◇

Ten minutes later...

"God damnit! It's so freaking boring—oh, wait, what's this?" I said as I noticed something on camera [CAM F4 S2].

Three people wearing black robes and blood-stained white masks were walking at a slow pace.

[[Characters Illustration]]

Each of them held something in their hands: on the left, a crimson-red spear, and on the right, a full-body shield adorned with a skull symbol.

Meanwhile, in the middle, one of them was holding a black plastic bag that was leaving a trail of blood with every step they took.

"Damn, they look so cool. They walk like characters from those freaking novels," I remarked but paused as I noticed something else. "Wait, is that—"

When suddenly, someone appeared on the side screen of the camera: a man wearing a thick, white-silver armor with a red coat on his back.

He had messy, white-ash hair and piercing blue eyes. Well, that's all I can say about Smith. Oh, wait, he has an average look. Yes, that's it.

"..."

"Fucking Smith is that you?!" I exclaimed as I saw him walking in front of those three suspicious people in the cam.

By the way, he's also in the same rank as Rowan, but Smite is more skilled in terms of skills and abilities.

Anyways, as soon as they saw Smith in front of them, the three people stopped and started talking to Smith.

"Arghh... I wish I could hear what they're saying," I mumbled under my breath.

___

AUDIO IS AVAILABLE.

___

"..."

"What the fuck? Why did you just say it, just now?!" I exclaimed, blaming this AI for not saying anything.

Anyway, after knowing that, I tapped open the Audio Icons, where I could finally hear what they were talking about, and while listening, it shocked me.

[CAM F4 S2] 3rd POV.

"Why are you doing this?! Did you know this is a betrayal to our master?!" Smite yelled in rage as he looked at them with a regretful expression on his face.

Upon hearing that, one of the three suspicious in the middle walked in.

She removed her mask, revealing her short blue hair paired with her circular blue eyes, slight eye bags, and an exhausted brown face.

She had the appearance of a gyaru with a hang on her right mouth; she looked at Smite and began to talk.

[[Characters Illustration]]

"Is that all you can say, Master there and Master here?!" the girl taunted with a disdainful attitude.

"Lily, you bitch! is that what you're going to say to the master who protects and cares for us?!" Smite replied angrily as he pulled out his sword.

"If you don't know everything, then shut up!" Lily yelled as she pulled a mini knife from her sleeve and slit her wrist.
