Chapter 241 - About the serial killer dwarf (1/2)
[At Estel's castle]
[Diana point of view]
Seriously. One trouble after another. To think that Ash would kidnap the prince of the holy palace and asked a powerful monster, Yuki-ona to deliver it is just... I just hope he realized that what he did was nothing short than an act of international terrorism. And I'm sincerely glad that Yuki-ona manage to disguise her ”special delivery” with a valuable ice crystal, Eternal Ice (and when we are carrying the ”special delivery” away, people thought we are ”only” carrying the Eternal Ice).
Eternal Ice, it is an ice crystal that would never melt, even if one to push it inside of lava. The only way to melt it is to continuously use high rank fire magic. Well, it will never melt but it's quite brittle, so a blacksmith should handle it with care. The block of Eternal Ice is now under my storage (If possible, I would like use it to upgrade my knight, Valkyrie, the orphans and the adventures equipment). And as for the prince of holy palace
(Seriously, what did Ash and Alaric do to make him so docile... Plus, why would they do it when Saint Louis is present? To think they drag the kind hearted Saint to do such nasty things. Ash is one thing, but it seems Alaric have also loses his common sense. I just hope Saint Louis will forgive them) [Diana]
~Door open~
”Princess, it almost time” [Qis]
”I see. Anyway, how goes the interrogation?”[Diana]
”The prince. He's a wimpy kid. The knight, they're a tough nut to crack” [Bladel]
”I see. Once they manage to extract every bit of information, then tell me” [Diana]
””Right!!”” [Qis, Bladel]
There are only few peoples who knew about the holy prince being abducted. Us who was there during that time, Valkyrie, father and the adventure guild master Ram. This matter should be kept as a top secret no matter what, especially from dear mother and dear step mothers. I don't even tell beloved dear step mother the fourth queen about it since one wrong move and they will have a legitimate reason to wage war with us. Plus, the second queen have a good tie with the old follower, so she will definitely use this info to her advantage shall she knew about it.
Last but not least, should I dispose of them after all is done? If possible, I would like to wring out every bit of vital information from them and then have them work with us. Be it suicide bomber or use mental hijack to control them from a far. I should consider various options to use them before eliminating them completely
”Such terrifying thought” [Qis]
”Oh please, your idea must be more brutal than I am” [Diana]
”I can guess what you two are talking about, but what is there to pity. They threaten us and ready to do something horrible, affecting our citizens, if anything, death is to light of a punishment” [Bladel]
”Indeed, just leave that kind of thing to us. A splendid soon to become queen like you should appear clean and noble in front of the citizen” [Qis]
”I'm counting on you, just don't push yourself to hard” [Diana]
””Yes”” [Qis, Bladel]
I say that, but my mind are still preoccupied on that matter until the carriage arrive in front of the adventure guild
”Sister Diana” [Charlotte]
(Charlotte! Don't!) [Elise]
”Don't worry Elise, I say that myself right, you guys can call me Sister Diana should you like” [Diana]
”BUT!” [Elise]
”Don't worry. Don't worry” [Charlotte]
Well, the only one that call me that are Charlotte and Cupid. Other, not so much. Singa and Savel still use princess and sister interchangeably, and it's cute seeing them like that
”Princess, Guild Master, Karon would like to talk something first, so can he do that?” [Rean]
”Sure””What is it Karon?” [Ram][Diana]
”Well...” [Karon]
That's rare. The usually quite Karon suddenly wants to talk something. Unlike Kara who is generally shy at speaking with stranger (unlike her younger twin Mara), Karon here rarely talk because, that's just who he is. I wonder what will he says?
”The serial killer dwarf, he's my father and...” [Karon]
”WHAT!” [All]
”Hold on, so the father that you mentioned during this morning training was...” [Rean]
”Yes. The very same serial killer dwarf” [Karon]
A sudden bomb of truth just explode. To think that our little quiet dwarf boy is actually the son of the serial killer dwarf is a shocking one indeed. I can see the faces of young and new adventures, knights and soldiers, they're all in terror.
”I see. Knowing you, that isn't all there is to say, isn't it” [Aries]
Mrs Aries appears calm. Not only her, the S rank sibling was surprised but quickly regain composure as they wanted to analyse what Karon is about to say
”Yes. I think it's safe to assume that my father is acting all alone. Not siding with the true beastman group nor with the dark guild or the traitorous princes” [Karon]
”Why?” [Kucin]
