When signing Mercenary Contracts, always read the fine print. Something Rhea and Edelgard failed to do, when Byleth felt that some of the nobles of where not taking the lessons she offered seriously and shrunk them in detention.
She also brought Leonie in, telling her she was gonna help demonstrate how to collect on a missed payment with nobility like Jeralt taught her. Ingrid was the first to go, claiming it was in chivalrous, but stamped out by Byleth. Leonie, was surprised, and when Lysithea and Hylda ran to her, for protection from the professor, who lifted her bloody foot, Leonie smiled and simply slapped her steamy bare foot down on Hylda, ending the pinkette instantly as Lysithea fell on her butt.
Leonie then lifted her foot, inspecting the remains and smiled cruelly “This is where you nobles belong when you don’t pay your contracts~ Hope you’re all ready to pay up with your lives~” Leonie said, giggling evilly as Byleth smirked and hovered her foot over Edelgard, while Bernadetta ran to a table.
Little did they know, Marianne had already taken cover, and heard everything, covering her mouth in horror as she listened to the screams of her classmates, the giggling and moaning of the two mercenary giantesses, and the slaps and crunches, with one less voice each time.
Remember to always pay your mercenaries everyone, or else you may need to pay with your blood…
