Chapter 190: Ruby confronts Frey (1/2)
King Frey was in his private chambers , when the apple of his eye , his beloved daughter from his beloved wife visited him.
Frey beamed with joy upon seeing her face as he said , ” It's been a long time since you visited me in my chambers , to what do I owe this joyous occasion to ? ”.
Ruby bowed as she said ” What I am to speak off father , is a very serious issue , please allow me to interrupt your rest , as the matter is of utmost importance ”.
Frey straightened up , his daughter was a playful child , her being soo awfully serious shocked Frey , he knew that the matter would be extremely serious for her to act this way.
Frey quickly dismissed the guards , as he said ” Sure , speak your mind freely , your father is here to support you ”.
Ruby took in a deep breath as she started her story ” Father I met an Oracle today ..”
Frey's eyes widened in shock , there was no Oracle for the last 150 years .... If what her daughter said was true then this was an extremely joyous occasion but he was a bit skeptical
Ruby continued ” Yes , even I was very happy at first , but also skeptical , however he accurately told me about events of my life that no one else knows about. Also he is a honorary Bishop of the Church ”.
Frey nodded , although it was not verified yet , however he could give the man the benefit of the doubt if he was a honorary Bishop in the church. Anyone holding a post in the Church was assumed to have outstanding moral character.
Ruby said ” however what he told me , is very concerning. The only reason he revealed his identity as an Oracle to me was because he wanted to save my life. In the divination shown to him by the Goddess , he was shown my death at the hands of my step brother the first prince”.
Frey's eyes turned into a cold glint , he did not know what to make of the information but he was boiling with anger.
Ruby hesitated before continuing as she said ” Also , he told me that the first prince is not actually your child , but an illegitimate son born from an affair with a mere servant. He....he ....he is not a high elf ”.
Frey reached his boiling point now as he said ” Blasphemy !!!! , the Bishop dares slander the royal family? Set up a court meeting , call the first prince , the queen and the Church members , send the bishop a court summon. This matter will be dealt here and now! ”.

( Meanwhile , somewhere in Vanaheim )
Rudra gathered alongside his guild members. He told them ” The quest for which I came here has gone sideways , now we need to deal with some scums of the society. Sorry , but let me clarify beforehand , now the quest is not for the guild but a personal help for me.”.
