Chapter 206 - An Ambush (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

Hearing my question, both of them looked at each other as if to confirm themselves that both of them were indeed feeling the same thing.

”Never mind.” They said in unison.

So harmonious!

Since they didn't want to say it, I wouldn't pursue about that matter any further.

Turning my head towards the ghost who had returned to her seat on top of the cliff, I bid my goodbye to her. ”I'll see you again next time.” I shouted at her while waving my hand at her.

She didn't say anything and just threw me a short glance, looking all indifferent and aloof. But, again, I didn't feel any dissatisfaction coming from her. No friendly aura as well, but at least she looked less intimidating in my eyes.

Following the two men towards the bustling town nearby, I found out more information regarding my father. I didn't know my father was famous here. All of them called my father as King. After a long talk with a local, I finally found out that my father was indeed the King there. But, it was a whole different vibe with the title in the Satu Village.

To be précised, my father was crowned as the King in this area which consisted of five towns. It was pretty big, around one fifth of the province area. The reason he was chosen to be a king because of the same reason with Satu Village; the Golden Eagle Blade chose him.

Yes, that Golden Eagle Blade was their traditional blade usually used by the King. Compared to the Black Creese, it was far more inferior. Still, it held some importance to the people as the symbol of the one who held the high authority over traditions and customs. Even people from the government still needed to seek the king if they wanted to talk about the implementation of some country rules.

Of course, they didn't know about my identity as my father's daughter. They treated us as if we were just some local tourists, which worked the best for me.

Come to think of it, my father indeed had some mystical weapons at hand. He himself was attracted to the so called mystical weapon, so it was no wonder he could get his hands on some of good stuffs. Other than the Black Creese, there were this Golden Eagle Blade, a plain steel blade, and a small creese. I had seen those all, touched them, and even stared at them. Among all of them, the plain steel blade was the one my father and I used the most. It was so light that I thought my father was conned by someone, that it wasn't made of steel.

The Golden Eagle Blade was placed in my wardrobe when I was Junior High School after I complained that I heard an eerie cry around two or three in the morning. It was a bit heavy and when I pulled it out from its scabbard, it honestly didn't look like a blade at all. It looked more like a short square staff with sharp pointed edge. It was even heavier than the steel blade.

The small creese, on the other hand, was not more than my palm in length. It didn't have any scabbard and it was yellow in color, standard color of creese.

After acquiring some information and sightseeing the local tourism spots while discussing of our next plan, we decided to move to the area near the South Sea. Now I had Black Creese in my hand, I just needed to understand the terrain of the next destination as well as made some plans in case my first plan failed.

”Milady, I think you should improve your power first before you head over.” Siji appeared out of nowhere.

”She is this powerful already and you still need her to train herself?” Tom frowned in displeasure.

”Pardon me, Milady. But there is an invitation came just now from the other Advisors to attend a meeting.”

My eyebrows arched at the mention of invitation. ”Meeting? Other advisors? You mean, I have to meet the other nine Masters?”

”Yes, Milady.”

”They summon everyone up, it means there is a big problem that needs to be taken care of.” I frowned as I tried to remember everything I had learned so far.

”It seems like you've done your homework well.” Tom teased me.

”Of course.” It was hard not to smile smugly. It wasn't because I took the matter lightly.

It was quite the opposite. Tom couldn't bear to see me getting serious. Being too serious didn't match me, he said. Let the hardest part became their burden, and I only needed to live my life well. Therefore, every time I frowned because of the urgency of a matter, he would always tease me until I lost the frown on my face.

Tom would loosen me up by cracking jokes or teasing me and Sanji would do the thinking. Even so, I was the one who would decide whether their advice was suitable or not. I was the Master, after all, and I was the one who knew my army the most.

”When is the meeting?” asked Sanji with solemn expression.

”Fifteenth next month.”

”Well, it means we still have around twenty days left before the meeting. Where will it be held?” Tom checked on his phone and casually typed something in it.

”Y City. The exact location will be informed a day before.” Siji answered.

”It's near the South Sea. What a coincidence!” Sanji frowned.
