The Granduke Evil
Chapter 5

Tang!Tang!Tang!" The sound of the sword fighting. The castle count that night was completely chaotic, like the palace that the rebels attacked.although the original purpose of the hitmen was to kill Ethan, but they came in large numbers to attack. Count Etienne, who was in the study, also intervened to arrest them, puzzling over how these criminals could enter the residence.

While the knights guarding the inner castle, forbid everyone to come out. Grace who heard the commotion from outside woke up. " What's the matter, why it's so noisy outside, and whose sword sounds it is, is there anyone practicing midnight like this." He said while peeking out of the window. Grace walked up and opened the door of her room, seeing the waiter pacing her confused

" Lena, what's going on?" Grace asked one of the servants at the place.

" That's Miss, the castle is being attacked by a group of unknown people."

" How can you!"

" I also don't know Miss, you'd better go back to the room." Said the waiter.

Then one of the knights who often guarded her ran towards Grace.

"Miss!" Shouted, "What are you doing, go back to your room!" Reciprocity.

"Sir Rocco, what happened?"

" It looks like there's a group of hitmen attacking this castle, so go back to the ladies' room" he said.

A moment passed through Grace Ethan's mind lying sick earlier this afternoon and remembered the day she found Ethan.

" What about Ethan?Is he still in his room." Grace asked in panic.

"I don't know where your friend is Miss."

Answer the knight.

Hearing the answer, Grace runs to Ethan's room, "What if the assassins catch Ethan, he's still sick he should still be in the room." Guman Grace in her heart while running.

"Miss wait!" Shouted her knight while chasing Grace.

Grace immediately opened the room door, "Shelf!" The sound of the door opening loud. " Anythea!" Grace screamed as she opened the door, She was confused because Ethan was not in her room. " Where is he." Grace turns around and runs again to find Ethan. " No, Don't, don't let Ethan get hurt again. Please don't get hurt."

Grace kept running down the stairs, "Miss your heart can fall." Shouted the knights who were still chasing him. Then his steps stopped because at the door there were two knights guarding. "Your lady is forbidden to come out by the master." Her speech.

" Stop, I don't care."

" I'm sorry Miss this is your command, danger if there's an exit now."

Outraged at the ban, Grace kicked the bones of the two knights' legs, then walked out of the place. Grace ran back, "When it's like this I'm sure Ethan's at the knight's training ground." Then his steps stopped because he was tired. "Miss, I said it's dangerous if miss doesn't listen to me." Knightly remarks.

"You're so noisy."

" I'm like this because I'm worried about Miss."

"Have been quiet, accompany me to the training ground. " Say, While walking.

" Why go there?"

" Because I'm sure he's there."

"Well..." Sighs, "Yes Miss but please stay behind me and be alert. Even though you've caught almost all of them we're still careful." Connect her.

" Yes." Yeah." Short reply.

Arriving at the training ground, Grace and her knights stop, seeing Ethan defeat all the hitmen who attacked him. Grace was shocked and silent for quite a long time looking at the scene before her eyes, on the other hand she was also afraid to step her foot. But in his heart and mind he keeps ordering Ethan to save who almost lost control while fighting those hitmen, "Ethan!! Stop begging me." Shouted Grace.

Ethan's sword-wielding hand stopped attacking when he heard Grace's voice, "Bats_" The sound of a sword slash hit his hand.

" Be quiet, I don't want to hear your bullshit." Reply Ethan still with a sharp look.

" Athan!!" Shouted Grace walking towards him.

" Stop!" Ethan Shouts. " You can get hurt." Reciprocity.

" Hahaha" the assassin laughed in satisfaction, "So that's your weakness." Then disappearing in an instant before his eyes, Ethan who saw it was looking for where the criminal went.

" Grace!" The Count's voice just arrived at the place with the other knights, Seeing the assassin clenching and pointing the sword at Grace.

Ethan looked straight at the voice, seeing what was happening before his eyes really made him angry, "Keep your dirty hands away from him." Ethan.

Grace, who was terrified, was silent.

" Just try, if anyone of you steps up to me, I'm really going to separate this woman's head from her body." Threatening everyone there.

Ethan does not remember exactly what Ethan is like in the novel, but what he remembers is clearly Ethan in the novel has teleportation ability, meaning he can move places quickly. Ethan who was in front of the criminal's eyes suddenly disappeared, and suddenly there was beside him. "Heh, Don't think I'm that weak" whispered beside his ear. " I told you to get your dirty hands off of him, listen to my sword behind your neck I can separate your head from your body at any time." Ethan threatens him.

The criminal saw Ethan's face really angry, and the bluish-red light that was getting brighter from him, made the assassin frightened. The assassin instantly lowered his sword, and released Grace.

Ethan instantly pulls Grace into his arms, clutching her tightly so she doesn't see the villain's face. " Stay by my side, and close your eyes." Ethan Whisper.

Grace complies, closing her eyes and hugging Ethan.

"Listen, I will not give you mercy or mercy, for I have already attacked this castle." Threaten Ethan while pointing his sword. "Because you have dared to touch him and tried to kill me, I really will not forgive you. But since I have to seek information from you, for the time being I will punish you for daring to touch her." Affirming to the hit man.

With a sharp and cold gaze, Ethan cut off one of the hands of the man who was the leader of the assassin without feeling "Bats!!" Ethan's sword.

" Agh!! Painful sounds.

" It's not much." Ethan.

Upon seeing Ethan punish the assassin without mercy, all the knights and Count Etienne who were there fell silent for a long time.

"Club!" Ethan threw the sword in his hand, The bluish-red color that had surrounded his body slowly disappeared. Count Etienne who saw Ethan a little more calmly walked over to him, "Ethan."

" Mister, I'm sorry for the commotion." Ethan lowered his head.

" It doesn't matter."

"Please bring Grace back to her room." Ethan said, taking off his crib and giving Grace to his uncle. "But Ethan, where are you going." Ask count.

"I'll go back to the room."

As Ethan steps up, Grace's hand holds him back, "Don't go please, at least treat your wound." Grace was worried to see it.

" It's nothing." Reply with a completely expressionless face, then release Grace's hand from her. " Don't touch me, my body smells of blood. Go back to the room and change your clothes." He said, then stepped away from the people there.

" I'll have the waiter prepare the water to clean your body." Count.

" No need, the water in the bathroom is also enough. I'm on my own, sir, so I'm asking you to please, no one to my room." Ethan said, bowing his head.

" Alright if that's what you want."

Grace who saw Ethan turn around then walked away from his sight with such a condition that made her heart ache. Count Etienne couldn't do much either, he immediately told his troops to get rid of the corpses and lock up the surviving assassins. Especially the leader of the assassin, the Count orders his knights to lock him in a dungeon, and interrogates him to find out more about why the assassin attacked the castle, more precisely targeting Ethan whose identity is still hidden by him, actually how the person can know if Ethan is in Etienne's residence.
