《I should care because?》How to kidnap a dukes daughter........ or not

3rd person POV
"Tch, we're going to have to kidnap the other daughter."
"Why? Weren't we going to kidnap the *princess?"
"Change of plans, the princess is always surrounded by really powerful guys. We don't stand a chance against them."
"But what about the silver haired guy that always hangs around the other girl?"
"He's pretty powerful too....."
"He doesn't always hang around the girl."
..............................
A raven haired girl sat atop a bookshelf, reading a book, when she suddenly shifted to the left, allowing a dart to miss her by a millimeter.
'Should I take care of them now or do I wait till I finish my book? I'll finish my book first,' she thought to herself right before she ordered the winds to divert any sharp objects that could harm her.
That's it?
Yeah, don't you want us to throw them to the edge of a cliff?
Mmmhmmm, or we could just direct the darts right back at them~
Meanwhile
"Damn it! Why won't any of my darts hit her?!"
"Shhhh, she must have a barrier surrounding her."
"But aren't barriers rare and expensive?"
"She's the daughter of a duke. What do you expect?"
"But didn't you say that her father hated her? So it wouldn't make sense if he gave her a barrier."
"Isn't that what I've been telling you? Being hated by her father, what's the point in kidnapping her?!"
"We could sell her."
"But is it worth the risk?"
"Why are we discussing this now??"
..........................................
Silence could hear the faint noises of people climb the shelf. This wasn't the silver haired guy, that she was sure of. He was much more silent then that.
'Who?' she asked the winds.
Oh, well they look like a John.

Yeah, remember the other guy that looks like the guy on the-
Silence simply sighed and went back to reading.
The moment the kidnappers landed on top of the shelf they spotted her and smiled in delight for it seemed as if the dukes daughter was defenseless and unaware that they were there at all.
Just as one of the kidnappers was about to place a cloth around her mouth and nose, her eyes flashed red. Though, nobody noticed.
Oxygen rushed out of his lungs and he started to choke, dropping the cloth to clutch his neck and as much as he tried, no oxygen would enter into his lungs.
"Oi, it's not the time to be playing around," the other one said rather angrily, "were lucky enough that she still hasn't noticed us!"
The other one felt doubtfull, for the girl not to even notice that they were there even with all the racket they made.....it was impossible. That is, unless she was deaf.....
"Uh boss? I don't think he's joking," he said in a bear whisper while glancing at the girl ever few seconds extremely worried.
The choking guy started turning purple.
Meanwhile under a tree a certain silver haired guy frowned, 'something feels of, I better check on Silence'.
Back to the library
"Tch, it seems like the barrier is stronger than we thought, we should come back here another time," the kidnapper said with a grown before jumping of the bookshelf, the other followed right after him.
Sadly, Silence wasn't prepared to let them of just yet, last they come back to pester her again.
Keme (the silver haired guy) appeared beneath a bookshelf arrived just in time to see a two men falling from the bookshelf Silence usually read on.
His immediantly noticed that they weren't breathing. He then quickly scaled the shelf, well more like ran to the top, only to another lifeless body. Oddest things was that there was no sign of a struggle, other than the fact that their hands were clutching their throats.
He glanced at Silence who was calmly reading a book as if nothing had happened.
'As expected' was all Keme thought.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
"Fine," she replied without glancing at him, therefor not noticing the ever growing smile on his face.
