Chapter 40 - Chapter 6: Encounter #2
The dryad druid, Daphne.
She had been 17 in the Year 513. Therefore, in Year 512, she was 16.
She often frequented the Great Garden and Botanical Garden in the Demon King’s Palace.
Her hobby including sunbathing and all boys, girls, women and men considered her a beauty.
The vampire blood knight, Silas.
He was 17 years old. The areas he frequented were the training ground and art museums.
His hobbies were cleaning equipment and painting.
The high elf archer, Selene.
She was 14 years old. The areas she frequented were the stables, training centres and libraries.
Her hobbies included reading romance novels and taking care of horses.
When he thought of the names, he was reminded of their age, areas they liked to frequent and hobbies.
‘I must secure one of these three children of the concubines.’
When Knight Saga had first begun in Year 513, those three were definitely in the faction of a prince or princess. All three of them weren’t adults yet and they liked to go around alone.
'I met Nayatra for the first time outside the Demon King’s Palace, I can get Vandal if I am stronger than him and Sektum is wandering around the wilderness right now.’
Nayatra, the succubus, was one of Zephyr’s escort knights.
Vandal, the ogre, was responsible for being the vanguard of the team.
Sektum was called the worst necromancer.
In the case of Nayatra, he had met her at the underground slave market, so it was important to earn enough money before then.
‘It was completely lucky that I found Sektum in a random area... I will put it off for now.’
After thinking about his favourite subordinates when playing Zephyr, he came up with another influential person.
Gallehed, Caitlin’s true father and the strongest of the five captains.
‘He is on the same side as Caitlin, so I might be able to get along with him.’
He couldn’t think of a way to approach the other captains right now. Even when he had been playing Zephyr, he didn’t know them that well until Zephyr’s merit level was high enough.
'Okay, then Daphne, Silas and Selene are at the top of the list while I will ponder about the rest.’
In-gong finished thinking and nodded with a cheerful expression.
'By the way, where is this place?’
“We are here.”
Just as In-gong was about to check the mini-map, Flora’s voice stopped him. Carack, who was following behind her, let out a cry of admiration.
“Ohh.”
A picturesque house was literally right in front of him. A stone wall surrounded the entire mansion and inside was a spacious garden with a cozy looking two-storey mansion.
The mansions located on the east side went for practicality rather than glamour. The soft ivy coloured walls and red roof gave it a calm feeling.
The mansion would be his residence in the future, so In-gong was rather excited.
Once he entered the grounds of the mansion, he saw things that had previously been blocked by the stone walls.
On one side of the garden, there were items that seemed to be sent from the Merits Department for his achievements and a group of people was standing next to it.
”9th Prince, welcome back.”
Out of the group that seemed a little less than 10 people, one person stepped forward and greeted In-gong. It was a middle-aged man who gave off a somewhat relaxed impression.
”I received word that you were moving residences, so I packed up quickly.”
In-gong had never seen the face before but In-gong could guess his identity.
‘The people who serve Shutra.’
When he looked closely, the nine people didn’t belong to the same group. Six of them originally belonged to this mansion and the rest were people who used to serve Shutra.
‘Did they get the message that I was coming back?’
Come to think of it, he didn’t see any direct servants greet Caitlin and Chris at the transfer formation. Most of them were the children of the concubines and their subordinates.
In-gong smiled awkwardly and looked closer at the three men, beginning with the middle-aged man.
‘They’re not gandharva.’
Pure blood gandharva gave off a fragrant scent similar to a fruit. None of the three had a sweet scent coming from their bodies. In fact, two of the three people had blue skin, so they obviously weren’t gandharva.
In-gong felt uncomfortable about this point. No matter how much the population of the gandarva had decreased, did it make sense that there wouldn’t be a gandharva serving their prince?
It seemed like there was a matter In-gong didn’t know about. Shutra’s role in Knight Saga had been very small, so In-gong didn’t know a lot about the gandharva.
‘I’ll have to find out.’
He was currently Shutra. There was a need to learn properly.
”Welcome. Please look after me in the future.”
“I understand.”
In-gong introduced both Carack and Felicia. As expected, the six people standing beside Shutra’s old servants were those who belonged to the mansion.
After the introductions were over, the woman who seemed to be the oldest among the servants bowed.
“Your Highness, there are guests waiting inside.”
“Guests?”
He just moved, so who would already know where to find him?
‘No, is there anyone who would even come?’
In-gong hurried forward.
In the reception room located next to the mansion’s hall, there were two beauties sitting next to each other while drinking tea. In-gong knew their faces.
