Reborn As Noble

Garak exhaled again. ”Do you even think these eight guards around us can get past this door?”

He scratched his head and exhaled while his hand reached for a small rod from his side, looking at Marcor who was already ready to kill.

He pressed the rod, and a full barrier formed, blocking the area from the wall to the door, with both of them standing safely behind it.

Marcor’s eyes widened before narrowing at Garak.

”What?”

Garak just whistled while watching the Mathrias guards swing their swords, only to hit the invisible barrier with a shower of sparks as their blades struck the magical wall.

”Gih! I was going to at least take down some of them! And now you ruined it.”

Garak let out a soft laugh and shook his head. ”Save some of your energy. Besides, we haven’t even had our Armand lunch yet. And this...” Garak pointed toward the Mathrias guards, who were now in a rage, repeatedly hitting the barrier with their swords. ”...is much more fun to watch.”

Marcor shook his head and let out a long exhale.

Garak chuckled and glanced at him. ”Aw~ don’t be that disappointed. I know you love some action, but it’s better not to cause a huge scene. Especially when we’re guests here, even if they’re acting like fools.”

Marcor looked at him. ”But our prince’s order is absolute. We should eliminate any threat that tries to interfere.”

Garak laughed again. ”Did you forget what Prince Javier’s order actually was? ’Not let anyone come in.’ Not ’kill everyone who tries.’ And this barrier counts perfectly as following that order.” He smirked. ”Even if I know you could easily handle these...” Garak glanced at the enraged Mathrias guards. ”...bastards, sometimes the smarter move is to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. We’re here to protect, not to start a war.”

”Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Damn. Why do they always make me partnered with you?”

”Heh. It’s because I’m the brain, and you’re the strength.”
