Knocking out the three spying men outside was very easy for me. I simply mixed a sleeping spell with the wind, something like a lullaby that only the targets can hear, and the effects were quite immediate as they dropped to the ground. I did check if any of them have gotten hurt after fainting but being spies, their bodies are sturdy at least. There was just a few scratches and their clothes looked disheveled and dusty.
After making sure that there are no more hindrances to our departure, I woke up Arthur a bit from his sleep and told him that Marius and I are about to leave the villa. I was not sure if he clearly understood what I said but he did nod with his sleepy eyes.
His reaction time was quite slow being roused all of a sudden. Before he could respond, I stole a kiss from his lips which successfully shook all the sleepiness out of his being. His jaw dropped and I smiled in response, telling him I will be back in a month or so and that was my little "see you soon" kiss.
