I Become The Wife of The Male Lead Chapter 81

Chapter 81: The Choice is Yours

The problem was quickly resolved. We just faced head-on the people who were trying to attack us. Fortunately, these mercenaries were quickly subdued. 

“I'm sure they said there's no mage….”

I tilted my head to him. “Can't you tell when you see one?”

Isaac behind me..murmured

“Because you don't have mana stones.”

Oh, yes, I didn't. Come to think of it, mages in the mercenary corps usually carried stuff with large mana stones. It wasn't for show, it was actually what they needed in order to use magic. For ordinary mages, mana stones were almost essential, seeing that some of these guys were also carrying mana stones, I could tell that they were mages. In my case, I didn't need them, so that was why I didn't carry them around because they would just get in the way. 

I looked at one of the kneeling mercenaries, and then imitated Abel, who usually enjoyed threatening.

“Who hired you?”

The mercenary flinched and closed his mouth tightly. 

I stomped on his thigh. Hopefully, my heel would come in handy here.

“Ugh..”

“Well, it doesn't matter. You attacked a noble, you would get punished anyway.”

At that moment, the mercenary opened his mouth. “We just… we didn't know you were a noble.. We were just ordered to kidnap a rich girl…”

“What were you going to do after the kidnapping?”

“Well, we were just trying to scare you a little…”

What a stupid lie this was. It was so obvious, even from the words kidnapping young miss. 

“Who is the client?”

“I.. I don't know.”

I kicked the mercenary's waist. As long as the opponent aimed at me first, I didn't feel the need to be merciful in his hands.

“Alright, let's see how many fingers you would still own until you tell me who's behind this.”

“We.. we really don't know!”

“Well….”

The mercenaries had a very dimmed, unfortunate look. 

In the end, I was wondering who was the hostile noble that had done this. Because this method to make me “afraid” was too stupid. But they really did this. In the first place, these types of mercenaries were not loyal enough to protect their clients in a situation where their personal life was threatened. 

“Did they pay well?”

“Well, compared to other requests….”

I clicked my tongue. Then, I asked more questions about which guild they were from.

“What a fool. You should have thought more about whether the order was poop or gold.”

Having said that, I turned around. I heard a mercenary sigh in relief behind me. He thought I'd just let them go.

'Not a chance.'

There had already been a death here. If I were weak earlier, I would have been beaten by them.

I whispered in the ears of Isaac and Liander after feeling that there was nothing more to gain from the scoundrels.

“Take care of them in moderation.”

As always, I didn't feel the need to show mercy when my opponent threatened me first. Besides, I was currently in charge of the entire population of Heilon Mansion. The risk factor could not be ignored.

If your heart was weak, you would suffer; if you were weak, you would die.

That was a fact that I had fully understood through years of experience. For me, if someone wanted me to treat them with kindness, at the very least there should be no hostility between us.

“Yes, we understand.”

The two knights nodded as if it was natural.

It would be my loss if I were to drag on this sort of problem. 

If the opponent was from the mercenary side, the countermeasure was simple. After the attack, I immediately went into action. After dragging a few more soldiers, I went straight to the guild where those mercenaries had been commissioned. 

Among the nobles, the Duke of Heilon was a family that had close relations to mercenaries. As such, the mercenary guild obviously did not want to turn Heilon into their enemy. Even so, I was attacked. 

BANG!

A knight opened the door of the mercenary guild building by kicking it. I loved this. Everyone was in perfect harmony. I now really felt like a boorish noble. 

'Well, I'm here to be a bully though.'

The inside of the mercenary guild was like a tavern.

“Wha, what's this?”

The mercenaries, who had been drinking and chatting since daytime, jumped up from their seats. 

I smiled.

“Where is the guild leader?”

Several people rushed to approach me but were stopped by the knights. To be exact, they were knocked down.

DUG!

BANG!

The sound echoed through the guild for a moment.

Still, most of them were looking at me. They seemed to have noticed that my identity was not normal. 

I said once more. “Guild leader.”

A mercenary with a tired expression on his face, pointed his finger upward.

Oh, they were upstairs. 

It would have been better if they had understood the situation quicker.

I smiled favorably. 

“There was a lot of rudeness.”

Isaac next to me said quietly, 'Miss, speaking formally doesn't change anything…' He really did mutter something like that. 

I ignored it and went upstairs. The knights faithfully carried out my intentions even if I didn't say anything.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The knights smashed the doors menacingly, kicking them until they found the guild leader's room. As expected, these were really the people who have been with Abel for a long time.

“Miss, here he is.” said Liander.

I turned my head to see the office behind the broken door. A middle-aged man who appeared to be a guild leader was making a puzzled expression. 

First thing first, I put a common sentence in my mouth since this was our first meeting,

“Hello?”
