42 「Valkyrie’s Downfall」 (2/2)

Momonga turned towards the surveillance screen and waved his hand slightly to reveal burning fields and soldiers fighting criminals. It was an entirely one sided battle, the criminals were losing without the aide of the Security Department and their enforcers.

”Renner gave him the order to destroy the plantations under the control of the Eight Fingers before you gave your permission.” Momonga pointed out as he gave a glance towards the Golden Princess.

”She took the initiative. We'll let it pass for now,” Jack uttered as he too gave the Princess a glance then turning to face Momonga.

Ninya frowned a bit, she admired the Princess, but why would she blatantly act without orders to do so? At least she was able to get permission after acting, and before it was noticed. Otherwise this would've been an unsanctioned operation and the Princess would be at risk. Not that she believed Jack would do anything to her or have anything done to her unless it were truly necessary.

Momonga had Demiurge go out and collect some of the raw plant material for analyzation and experimentation. It was clear he wanted to know how the drug worked as well as how to make Black Dust. However he neglected to inform Jack of this development.

”Well, In any case. It appears the current capital of our Kingdom has been purged of the Eight Fingers and their compatriots. In fifteen days, we'll be able to purge the country of its corrupt nobles and countrymen.”

Ninya blinked several times as she looked over at him. He was planning on killing or removing nobles who were deemed corrupt? She then looked to Momonga who nodded, concurring with his decision.

Turning her head, she looked to Renner who was walking and talking with her Bodyguard who appeared far closer to her than before when she was restrained from doing so.

”So until then, I think we can head back to Carne Village for a while?”

”Actually,” Momonga took a step forward. ”I'm… Having a problem with one of my Guardians. She's depressed and believes she has failed.”

”Depressed?” Jack raised a brow when he had said this.

”It's Shalltear,” Momonga would've sighed as he couldn't think of what to do. Punishment didn't seem right since it was out of her control. Yet everyone looked down on her because of it.

”I guess I'll be giving a visit to Narazick then, first time for everything.” He lightly hugged onto Ninya, ”Would you like me to send you back to the village or would you like to stay here with your sister?”

Ninya blinked a few times when she was given this choice. It was hard for her to choose really. She had just saved her sister, but she also wanted to be around him.

”What is Narazick anyways?”

”The Great Tomb of Nazarick. It's located Northeast of the Carne Village. It's one of the reasons he came to protect the Village.”

”So he wasn't just passing by?”

Jack chuckled and shook his head slightly. ”I mean, if I wasn't tending to the team, I would've showed up before him.” His eyes moved to Momonga who was waiting beside an open portal. Waiting for him.

”So, would you like to go home, or head back to the mansion?”

Thinking clearly, she shrugged up at him with lowered brows. ”I'll go home. My sister's been through a lot, I don't want to overwhelm her.” She smiled up at him as she made up her mind. ”Thank you for keeping your promise.”

”I prefer to keep my word,” Jack nodded to her and poked her nose before opening a portal for her to travel through.

Whipping her cloak aside, she humbly made her way into the portal and vanished into the swirling mass of energy before it vanished behind her.

Jack then turned towards Momonga and raised a brow as he was still standing there, waiting for him. ”So why do you need me to help you with Shalltear? She's your guardian, isn't she?”

”I want you to punish her for me, you know, delegating tasks.”

Jack squinted at the fellow skeleton before shaking his head slightly as if he was confused on the subject. ”You're starting to sound like a father trying to marry off his daughter. Or a father trying to push parenting onto his son, which is even weirder.”

Momonga just stared at him for a good minute in thought, then gestured towards the portal. ”If she sees me, she'll feel even more guilty.”

”You're not liking confrontation...” Jack stated as he grabbed hold of the Overlord's arm towing him into the portal with him on their way to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
