Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

Vance looked at Sally's serious expression and thought for a moment before pulling out a health potion. He did not have many, and they were not cheap to buy, but they were relatively easy to make. He planned on harvesting the materials for it later on. "Take this and drink it if you get seriously injured. It will help you recover."

Sally looked at Vance with a blank expression before suddenly shouting: "Are you hitting on me!? The princess was not enough, so you want the maid too!?"

"What the hell made you think that!? I am giving this to you because you are willing to risk your life to help Alice…." Vance's voice went low at the end. "You need to protect your life as well. Do not sacrifice it just because of loyalty. If you get hurt, run away and go into hiding. We will wait until tomorrow evening to see if you or her uncle comes to find us. But remember to keep your life. You only have one."

Sally's eyes softened a bit as she looked at Alice and leaned over. It was not known what was said, but Sally stood up after and, without turning around, said: "I will be off."

After Sally left, Alice giggled as she leaned her head on Vance's shoulder. "She just told me that I found a good man. What do you think?"

"I am not sure. We will find out." Vance teased. Alice did not respond and only smiled.

Sally walked to a back window and opened it. After checking her surroundings, she jumped out of the window using wind magic to make her slowly fall. She did not touch the ground and continued to use wind magic to fly up to the nearby rooftop. From there, she hopped roof to roof using the chimneys as a means of hiding herself from view.

Out in front of the inn, two guards were standing by a back alley, keeping an eye on the street and the entrance of the inn. "She hasn't come out yet."

"It's been a few hours. How could she not come out yet?" Guard number two asked.

"How the hell would I know?" Guard number one did not know what to do. He could only think of one thing. "Screw it! Let's go in. We will just say we have a notice from the castle."

"Alright, let's go." Guard number two readily agreed. Being guards with no status, they could only rely on doing some of this dirty work to make some extra gold. And if they did a good job, they might be promoted quicker if the prince took the throne.

The two guards walked inside the inn and right up to the counter, where a man with a bald head was busy shining a sword. "Can I help you?"

"We are from the castle. A young woman in a maid's uniform came in here earlier. She is one of the maids to her highness, the princess. We have come to ask her to quickly return to the castle." Guard number one made up the best lie he could think of. He did not want to bring too much attention to themselves since they were supposed to be undercover.

"Hmmm? Maid. I think she went to the second floor, room seven." The bald headed man did not stop shining his sword. He did not even care who it was who had come in, so he did not raise his head. His customers' problems were not his problems. Especially a customer who took back money!

"Thank you." Guard number one was quite polite and hurried upstairs with guard number two in tow. When they arrived at room number seven, they suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Ah~! Right there… Yes… That's the spot! I never knew you were so good at this~! Ah~! Ah~!" Guard number one's hand that was about to push the door open froze mid air. It seemed they found out why the maid had not come out after so long. She was busy being knocked up! Guard number one looked at guard number two, whose cheeks were bright red, and decided to turn around. They came to the conclusion that there was no reason to talk with the maid anymore.

pAn,Da-n0v e1,c Inside the room, Alice lay on the bed, her brow with beads of sweat building up on it. Her face was flushed red from embarrassment. The sounds that were coming out of her mouth were not princess like at all!

"Alice, how long do you plan to make me do this?" Vance asked as he sat up and rotated his shoulders a few times.

"Ah… That's fine… Thank you…." Alice blushed as she rolled over. And looked at Vance. "I haven't had such a good back massage in a long time. All the stress the past few days had really built up."

"To think you would ask for a massage. Miss Alice, did you just want me to touch your body?" Vance grinned slyly as he put one knee on each side of Alice's legs and leaned down, placing his hands on both sides of her head. "If you wanted me to touch, all you had to do was ask."

"I… You! Don't get the wrong ide-muph!!!!" Alice's words were cut off as Vance planted a kiss on her lips. She instantly melted and wrapped her arms around Vance's neck. She seemed to be addicted to kissing him.

When their lips parted, Vance rolled to the side and turned his head to look at Alice. "You heard it, right?"

"Mmm… Footsteps outside the door." Alice blushed. She could guess by the weight of the steps that the people who had come were soldiers. She did not think they would show up. But it seemed the people her brother hired were not very competent. Alice rolled over and curled up next to Vance. "Vance, when this is over, can I come with you?"

"We will see when things end. When things are over, and you wish to still follow me, I will not say no." Vance really wondered what it would be like to rise to the top with Alice. Unlike last time when he was alone all the time. Having someone following along would be a change. With her willing to follow him, he felt quite happy since he had been growing more fond of her.

"Mmm… When this ends." Alice smiled as she leaned up and kissed Vance's cheek.

Meanwhile, on the rooftops, Sally was holding her side. As soon as she got close to Alice's uncle's estate, she was targeted by multiple people. Her side had been hit by an arrow, and blood was dripping down like crazy. And now, in front of her stood two men dressed in black with their faces covered. "Just give up! No person of the princess is allowed to go any further."

"You are the prince's Black Legion. A group of five highly skilled men. So he finally decided that he could no longer take too many risks with under trained, incompetent people. But did you really think you could stop me with just this?" Sally sneered as she took out a round object and flicked her finger, causing a small flame to appear on the stem of the round object. "Let's see you follow me now!"

Sally jumped off the room with the object in her hand. The two men quickly followed after her, but this was a fatal mistake.

*Boom!*

The sound of a massive explosion rang out. Sally was tossed to the ground while her pursuers were blown to bits. Blood rain down from the sky, covering Sally from head to toe. Bits of flesh and skin fell and mixed into her hair as she slowly got up. Her entire backside was now exposed. Blood dripped from her back as the seared skin bled. She looked around, grabbed an old cloth from the side alley she was in, and wrapped it around her waist as she stumbled toward the alley's exit to Alice's uncle's estate. As long as she could make it outside the alley, she would be safe.

But as she took a step forward, a stinging sensation was felt in her chest. She looked down to see an arrowhead sticking out from the front of her chest. Tears began to fill her eyes as she realized that she might fail her mission. She hid behind a large box and slumped down to the ground. She could not lean back on anything due to the arrow in her back. She could only wait to die. It was then when she thought death was at hand, that she heard a voice from earlier in her mind reminding her that she must live on. She hastily wiped those tears away as a determined light flashed across her eyes. "No! I must go on!"

She reached in between her breasts and pulled out a red vial. "You bastard, if this thing is fake, I will haunt you for life and make sure you can never marry my princess! " She popped the top and drank it down.
