Blood spread over the stone-paved ground. Nearby I could hear no stir, no people's voices, no footsteps. For now there seemed to be no enemies around. Of course no allies either. Anyway it would be good if allies were searching, but enemies might be searching too. The enemies should not be only the ones I had dropped. Without support besides those people they could not kidnap Her Majesty, so I must not let my guard down.
First I stored the corpse in front of me and cleaned the blood spreading on the road.
"Purification"
I did not know how clean it had become, but to night eyes I thought it was clean. Then I cleaned the blood that would be on my body. Now I faced the thing wrapped in cloth pressed to the dead-end wall. The one inside this is Her Majesty, yes? What if it is Lily or someone? If they grabbed Lily by mistake, that would be funny. No. I would not laugh. It would only become a story that that was fine too. If I were disappointed Lily would be pitiful.
