196 Passing out a judgemen (1/2)
Agrippa looked shocked when he heard the content of the letter from Ryuu as such he could not help but ask Ryuu, ”Daoist Ryuu , if I may ask since when did your family get involved in this mess.”
Ryuu gave a smile when he spoke, ”Since the start of this mess, my family cares for me deeply as such they always kept an eye on me in order to protect me, even as we speak now there are guards hidden who are secretly keeping an eye on my well being.”
Upon hearing that everyone tensed an unknown number of experts are keeping an eye on Ryuu whom they could not detect at all made them a bit scared.
Alhma: ”Since they are protecting you then why did you have to defend yourself like that, they could have thwarted the ploy before it even begun.”
Ryuu: ”Debar me from learning from such an experience, no I do not think so they would do no such thing, and the only time they would make a move is when the situation is out of control and my life is in extreme danger or something horribly bad is going to happen to me.”
Aliyah: ”Can we meet with them.”
Ryuu snorted as he spoke, ”I myself have yet to meet them personally, they only listen to my uncle and no matter how much I through tantrum or anything they will never appear, the only reason I am even aware they are following me is because my older sister might have let it slip.”, he mixed truth and lies as he spoke, he does not know much about their chain of command and with whom their loyalty lied as he knows that Shamiran is their Supreme Commander but there is a high chance that even his teachers may command them as well, and as for claiming about his 'uncle' well his teachers didclaim his mother as their sister.
Agrippa frowned even harder as he spoke, ”Since your family knew about this mess then her Highness must know about everything.”
Ryuu nodded at that as he replied to him, ”Of course she knows but there is no need for you to think about the matter too much because as far as I know about her she is not known for dilly-dallying, if she was displeased by someone she would have retaliated already.”
Lucius spoke with a frown, ”As much as I agree with you about your right to punish the transgressor but as he is still part of the expedition if you retaliate we are honor bound to intervene.”
Ryuu send a smirk at Lucius, ”Senior, if he leaves the expedition then…”
Lucius send a smile as he replied, ”As long as he is outside of Shangri-la Pavilion and not the member of the expedition you are free to do however you wish too.”
As they made their way towards room they were greeted by Frozen Flames and her group.
Frozen Sky: ”Where have you all been to? We were so worried.”
Aliyah: ”Daoist brother Ryuu received an anonymous letter as such we all went to check with the help of staff of Shangri-la Pavilion to see if it was rigged as an attempt to assassinate him out it turned out to bea letter from his older sister, explaining to him that the situation was dealt with.”
Frozen Flames looked curiously at Ryuu as she spoke, ”Dealt with does that mean, the people trying to assassinate are dead.”
Ryuu: ”Yes Senior they are dead but the person who wanted me dead is still alive from what I learned jealousy was the motive behind the entire fiasco, big sister has allowed me to pass of the judgment on him.”
Lu Wu looked visibly displeased with all the talk about death and what not but before she could speak she was interrupted by Froze Sky, ”Who is this fellow you are talking about?”
Ryuu shrugged as he spoke, ”No clue except that he will make a run for it today even leaving the expedition.”
Frozen Flames could not help but as curiously, ”How do you even know that? When you yourself have confessed to that you have no idea regarding the person's identity.”
Ryuu sighed as he spoke, ”My family gets a tad bit over protective when it comes to me, as such when my sisters learned about the assassination attempt on me they hunted the group otherwise known as the 'Crooked Tavern', slaughtered every member of theirs and then decorated the bedroom of the parents of the person who had issue a bounty on my head with their dead bodies.”
The teachers' eyes widen at that for a fraction but the most distraught was Lu Wu who looked visibly sickened by it as appeared from her pale visage.”
A commotion drew their attention as they saw a group of armed guard trying to enter forcibly as the guards prevented them entering.
”You Shall Not Pass!”, came a shout from one of the guards stationed outside of Shangri-la Pavilion as the newcomers shouted out in equal amount of fervor, ”We Shall Pass! And you will not prevent us from rescuing our 'Young Master.”
