The Witch Hunter System

Generally, the city lord wouldn ’t bother extending an invitation, even if they knew important people were visiting or passing through their city.

There were many nobles in the kingdom, not to mention the families and extended families of nobles. Simply said, there were a lot of people in the upper class.

Those that like to travel wouldn ’t be small in number either.

If the lord had to meet every person of status every time they visited the city, the lord would be greatly inconvenienced.

As such, Linetta and Lillias were baffled to learn of Lord Helia ’s invitation.

They would have understood if it was someone like their mother, a Marquis-rank noble, unlike them who have yet to contribute to the kingdom and receive peerage from the ruler.

”May I ask who you are? And why does Lord Helia want to see us? ” Linetta asked politely before adding, ”I believe someone like Lord Helia would be quite busy to extend an invitation to others visiting her city normally… ”

”Oh my, I am deeply sorry, Lady Linette. Where were my manners? I am Yasmin, the head of the combat witches serving under Lord Helia, ” the leading witch introduced herself.

Despite being a witch, she wore armor over her red dress like a knight and had a sword equipped at her waist.

Just by looking at Yasmin ’s appearance, anyone can guess that she was a combat witch—one who fights with both magic and martial prowess.

”As for a reason behind Lord Helia ’s invitation, I am not exactly sure what my Lady ’s intentions are, but I do have a pretty good guess. We ’ve recently received a request from the Delarosa Household to provide Lady Linette and Lillias with protection if you made it to our city. ”

”Lord Helia must have something to talk to Lady Linette and Lady Lillias related to that, ” Yasmin assumed.

”I see… ” Linetta muttered before glancing at Vaan for a moment. Afterward, she asked Yasmin, ”There won ’t be any problem if I bring another person along, right? ”

”By person, are you referring to this man, Lady Linette? ” Yasmin sought Linetta ’s confirmation after she briefly stared at Vaan.

”That ’s right, ” Linetta nodded.

”I am unable to confirm. Please allow me to check with Lord Helia, ” Yasmin requested.
