Chapter 28
"Road, Tyki-pon has been acting strange lately. Find out why he's acting that way and take care of it."
"Of course Lord Millenie," said Road as she left with Lero.

*Alyce's point of view
Another knock came at the door. It opened but someone else came in. It was an akuma.
"Are you here for a fight?"
"Lord Tyki told me to get the tray when you're finished."
"How many akuma are here?"
"I can't tell you anything."
I got up while activating my innocence and threatened to kill the akuma if it didn't tell me. My wounds somehow reopened again but that doesn't matter. I need to get out.
"I'm n-not allowed to tell you."
"You wouldn't want a slow death now, do you?"
"No, please don't."
"Then tell me."
"There aren't any other akuma."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I'm the only one Lord Tyki had to watch over you. The Noah family doesn't know that you're alive. He can't risk being found out if he used too many."
"That bastard Tyki."
I said that with my annoyance while quickly finishing the akuma off. I know Tyki might have noticed but I don't care.
"This is unexpected. I never thought Uncle Tyki would do this."
I turned around and saw a little girl about the age of twelve. I think she was Tyki's niece, the Noah of dreams named Road.
"You're the exorcist general that was reported dead, aren't you? You're very much alive though."
"Why are you here?"
"Lord Millenie told me to see what Uncle Tyki's been doing and to take care of it. Turns out he was taking care of an exorcist. This is going to be fun. Let's play," said Road as she was about to drag me to her world but I managed to hide my presence then attacked her with it.
"That hurts. You are going to pay for that," said the little girl while candles suddenly appeared.
"I wanted to torture your mind slowly but turns out I have to hurt you physically as well."
I continued to hide my presence while dodging and attacking Road.
"What's your name by the way, Miss Exorcist-General?"
"Like I'd give you that, Road."
"How unfair. You know my name."
"Then try to find out yourself."
"I will gladly do that."

*Tyki's point of view
The earl suddenly called me and asked me to do another mission. I got there and finished it quickly. I then hurriedly went back to where Alyce was. She's probably trying to escape now or might have even escaped already.
I got there after half an hour and saw what I didn't expect. Through the window I saw Road fighting with Alyce.
I got inside through the broken door and saw a candle heading my way. I dodged it while it hit the already broken door.
"Oh, you're here, Uncle Tyki," said an excited Road.
"Yeah, I am."
"Why didn't you tell me that you have the exorcist general with you? I think she'll be a nice doll after this."
"Yeah, why did you lie, Tyki?"
"You should stop, Road."
"Why is that? Lord Millenie told me to take care of her. Would you like to do that yourself?"
"Like as if I'd even let him."
"Why didn't you kill her, Uncle Tyki? And then hide her from us?"
"Go back, Road. I'll take care of her."
"Kill her now."
"Alright."
I got closer to a wounded Alyce. She might have hidden herself but I could easily tell where she was. I held her by the throat then let out the tease.
.
*Alyce's point of view
So Tyki's going to kill me now? I can't let that happen of course so I activated my innocence and stabbed him the moment he held me by my throat. I did that twice with both of the daggers.
Lots of blood flowed out and he showed the look of pain on his face but still tried to smile. We suddenly fell down to the first floor.
He was wounded but he dragged me away from there.
"Road won't be able to follow you for a while. Hurry and leave before she catches up. The tease can only hold her for a short while. I'll take care of her after that."
"Why did you take me away from Road?"
"She was about to kill you, wasn't she?"
"Why did you save me after I just practically stabbed you?"
"That doesn't matter. At least you're alive. Now go."
"As if I'd do that, bastard Tyki. I'm taking you with me. She won't be able to find us after I use my innocence."
"You'll only tire yourself out. Just go."
"No way am I listening to you, liar. If you don't come with me, I'm not leaving this place. You still have a lot of explaining to do."
"Fine I'll come."
We couldn't stay in the same town so we rode the train to get away. I used my innocence so people won't see us there.
