Chapter 74 - Proposition (1/2)
Huh, she wanted me to come there to investigate the cause is it? I'm pretty sure her knight had told her regarding my decision, but maybe the word doesn't reach her, so let me just repeat myself
”I'm sorry, I would like to deny the request, I have ten siblings to take care of, and I am reluctant to take a request that cause a prolonged absence in the house” [Ash]
”Ohh, that's not what I meant. I already heard about it from one of the knight” [Haliza]
”?” [Ash]
”She wanted you and your siblings to live in Malsia” [Mira]
”Exactly! I can grant you a citizenship in an instant, even make you a high knight or a noble, of course those kids include. So what do you say” [Haliza]
”Sigh... same as always” [Diana]
”Deny” [Ash]
”Ehh!” [Haliza]
”Obviously, well maybe not but I can see why” [Mira]
”Tell me why then!” [Haliza]
”Well...” [Ash]
My reason is simple. First, We would have to leave Claude and the mansion behind since he still believes that his master will one day return. There's no way we could agree to that. Claude really loves the mansion and won't even consider moving out from it. Plus, we have a grandfather to grandchildren kind of relationship with him which we would not sever in any sort of situation. Second, there are already few people that we had acquainted with. Well, we are still not that close (or maybe it's just me, who know) but I'm sure both sides would feel sad not being able to see each other again. Diana, Qis, Liyana, Alice, Jacks and more.
There are still disadvantages living here though namely some of the noble, knight, merchant and the old follower really, really hate us (or to be exact me) and sincerely, it's not surprising. But, I can live with that, they knew if they lay their hand on one of my siblings, they should be ready to fight against my wrath
”Well too bad, but I will not give up!” [Haliza]
”Should you decide to accept the proposition, you could always come and find us” [Mira]
”I'll keep that in mind” [Ash]
(That's to be expected from both of them) [Diana]
And with that, we move on to our meeting, there, Princess Nurhaliza and Mira told us something interesting
”You meant to say that this person actually managed to drove out those monsters?” [Noble]
”It is, we take it as a grain of salt at first but then three days ago, the ghosts monsters suddenly disappeared and stopped attacking us. Obviously the masses were overjoyed during that time and we contacted him to hear his explanation but the church already took him in and had refused letting us talk with him” [Mira]
”We investigate further and found out that he had been contacting the priest of the church several times in the first. We are still unsure of their connection neither does the method he used” [Haliza]
”Hmm, could it be...” [Ash]
”Looks like we have the same idea” [King Estel]
”Mira, when you say drove out, do you mean that person defeated the ghosts monsters or something else?” [Diana]
”I'm there during that time and I did saw the ghosts monsters running away from that person, that's why I chose the word drove out” [Mira]
”Is there a report or list of monsters sightings three days ago in Malsia?” [Ash]
”I have it with me, should I read it out?” [Mira]
”If you would” [Ram]
”Well then...” [Mira]
She list out the ghost monsters seen during that day, and...
”It's the same monster that attack us back then!” [Qis]
”How suspicious” [Noble]
”and the corrupted Thanatos?” [Ash]
”From that day onward, there isn't even a single sighting of that monster, not to mention other monsters have stop appearing” [Haliza]
”Well, quite a straight forward case it is” [Diana]
”And I suppose the mysterious guy is a supporter of an old follower?” [Ash]
