I Just want a Peaceful life

"So, you better listen to me or fuck off!" said the veiled woman coldly.

"Tch… Fine." grumbled the hideous misty person before disappearing into thin air.

Seeing the misty person gone, the woman could only release a deep sigh.

'Tch.. Nothing has been going well ever since our mission in Sunset City. There is also that unknown mysterious force who always targets all the religious groups.' complained the woman inwardly.

While some religious groups and other forces targeted the border of Nergal, a small group approached the Windshire Fort. This group of people has the same trait of red skin.

"So, this is what the outside world looks like, huh?" asked one of the red-skinned people.

"It looks no different than the Ancient Vault area." said another person.

"It doesn't matter. In the end, we are just nothing but a slave." said another person.

"Come on, Nissa. Don't be like that. I don't think our employer will be that bad. From what I observe, those humans seem like good people. Besides, we are not slaves. We are just working for them." said another person.

"Tch.. What do you know, Tylie?! Our life is practically in their hands now." complained Nissa.

Before they could argue more, "Both of you shut up!" said another person coldly.

"W-We are sorry, Master Akiye." said Nissa and Tylie in fear.

Most of the members of Seven Faces have a rebellious nature. They didn't even fear and respect the Red Queen Nabe. However, it is entirely different for this woman.

Akiye is also one of the Seven Faces leaders. Everyone knows her combat prowess and behavior. Unlike her calm and kind temperament when she takes care of the Honor Valley, she likes to beat the other members with the excuse to toughen them up.

Even when they fight together and surround Akiye, she can still easily beat their ass.

Still, they are glad they can reach their current level because of Akiye's constant bullying. But, it also leaves a psychological scar whenever they confront Akiye. Whenever they face Akiye, they will subconsciously tremble in fear.

After walking in the windy Humnia Grassland for a while, they finally reach a massive fortress wall. Suddenly, their group is surrounded by armored people from the Fortress Wall.

"Halt!! State your business or we will be forced to take you down!!" said the group leader.

"We are from Nirvas. We are here to fulfill our contract." replied Akiye before taking out a letter.

"Nirvas?! Please wait here." said the group leader before using his communication device.

In the meantime, the other Heart soldiers are still on their guard and looking at this group of Altras.

After waiting a few minutes, "You said you are from Nirvas? Did Lady Nabe send you?" asked the group leader.

"Pfft.. Lady Nabe? If that nerd is a lady, then I should be a Queen. Anyway, yeah… we are sent by her." replied Akiye casually.

Seeing her response, the guard leader nodded to others before picking up the letter in Akiye's hand. After confirming all their identity, they are guided into the Fortress. Along the way, the six members of Seven Faces find some guards watching them with vigilance.

Even their guide didn't talk much and kept a neutral expression.

Feeling the tense and hostile atmosphere, "Still thinking they are good people?" teased Nissa towards Tylie.

Tylie wanted to retort to her friend but couldn't say anything to retort. Fortunately, Akiye happened to help her at this moment.

"Hmm… I thought they would be more strict, considering they had a war until a few days ago. Did Duchess Amberblaze already notify you about our arrival?" asked Akiye towards the guide.

"Yes. The Duchess already informed us about the arrival of Nirvas's delegation." replied the guide after being slightly startled by the sudden question.

'So, they just have a war. No wonder everyone seems hostile towards us.' thought Nissa.

'War?! Those humans didn't seem like going through war, especially that girl.' thought Tylie as she remembered the happy-going Anna.

While Nissa and Tylie thought inwardly, the other members of the seven faces walked silently and had their own thoughts. Carlyn, the sad of seven faces, observes the surroundings and tries to gather information about the place.

On the other hand, Ulva, the Fear of Seven Faces, becomes more pessimistic thinking with each step she takes. If it was not for the presence of Akiye nearby, she might have already run away long ago.

In contrast with everyone, Lilith stays silent because of another reason.

'He is here. I could feel it. I could smell him. Wait.. Did I look weird? Did I brush my teeth today?!' thought Lilith nervously at the prospect of meeting her crush.

After a while, they finally arrive at the Duchess Amberblaze's office.

Noticing the incoming people, "Ohh.. Welcome. I hope you don't mind about our security. We are just getting through war and still in the middle of reparation." Duchess Amberblaze greets everyone.

"We don't mind it. It will be weird if your security is not up to this level." said Akiye.

"If I am not wrong, you are Master Akiye, right?" asked the Duchess.

"Yes. I am here to send these girls." said Akiye before giving the Duchess a big envelope with documents.

Opening the envelope, the Duchess finds detailed data about the five Altras girls, even their hobbies and habits. Reading their data, the Duchess finds their personality resembles the seven faces they had previously represented.

Carlyn Massvein is the eldest among the five girls. She is hailed as the mastermind and the brain for most of the seven faces' big moves.

Although she is still inexperienced in many things and couldn't compare to people like Duchess Amberblaze, who are already going through many wars, she is still talented for her age in tactical warfare.

Unfortunately, she also developed a big flaw like other geniuses or smart people. She is very empathetic to the point of feeling sad, even toward her enemy.

Otherwise, she could easily destroy and take over the Nirvas a long time ago with her brain by using a more cruel and efficient method. Hence, she represents the Sad of Seven Faces.

The second eldest is Tylie Fleshblood. Unlike the melancholic Carlyn, Tylie is easygoing and could even smile in the face of death, like when she was cornered last time. Unfortunately, this also became her major weakness.

She is too casual and hardly able to be serious. Hence, she represents the Happy of the Seven Faces.

In contrast to Tylie's positiveness, Nissa Stonebone is a person who likes to bad-mouth everything. Her thrash talking is number one among all the Seven Faces, even the old members. Despite this, she is also famous for her pain endurance.

She could endure the most painful and mind-breaking torture without screaming or shedding tears. Unfortunately, her record was broken when she was captured by Nabe last time.

As someone from the Stonebone Clan, she also inherited their hard skin and bone manipulation besides their shapeshifting ability.

She is a great combatant and the second strongest among the five in direct combat. Because of her foul mouth, she represents the Contempt of Seven Faces.

The next girl is Ulva Redskin. She is the same age as Tylie. For short, this girl is very paranoid. All it takes is to leave her alone in a secluded house and she will get a panic attack on her own.

Despite this unique trait, she is very good at reconnaissance tasks and creates many backup plans. Although quite paranoid, she cares a lot about her Seven Faces sisters. She will never hesitate to sacrifice herself to let the others escape like last time. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

The last one is Lilith Fleshblood. She is the youngest of the Seven Faces. Yet, no one ever underestimates her despite being the youngest. When Duchess Amberblaze saw Lilith's data and record, she immediately thought one thing.

'Is this for real?!' thought Duchess Amberblaze.

If her data is spread, Lily will be famous for breaking the record as the youngest person who reached fifth grade at twenty-one. Not only that, all her feats and combat capability are off-chart for twenty-one years old.

'I thought no one could surpass Jayna's talent beside that monstrous brat. But, it seems I am wrong. *Sigh* What's up with this current generation?!'

'Last time I knew, the average person to reach fifth grade is fifty or sixty years old. Now, they are practically cutting it more than half of the time.' thought the Duchess after she sighed deeply.

Noticing the surprised Duchess, Akiye feels proud of her girls.

"So, what did you think? They are good, right?" asked Akiye.

"Yes. If I didn't know that brat, I would be tempted to hold them down in our kingdom. Still, this is not good. It seems Leon's worry is right." Duchess Amberblaze muttered in a low voice for her last sentence.

Still, Akiye also managed to hear and catch it.

"Hooo… you also notice it. Since your kingdom has two seventh grade, you should be aware of it soon." said Akiye.

"Did you know something about it?" asked the Duchess in a serious tone.

"No. Not even our old man Makar could see it. But one thing is certain. Something bad will happen and affect the whole world." said Akiye.
