Chapter 147 To kill an emperor 9 (2/2)
The next morning Mars went along with the girls to the academy, after the class with the vice principal was over he went to take the optional class for formation runes but was stopped on the way by the vice principal that ran after him
”please wait Mars!”
Mars stopped and waited for the vice principal to catch up before he asked
”what's up?”
”ha... ha... you have been summoned again by the king”
”okay... want to come with?”
”no I don't think I need to come this time, please show up sometime today at the castle in King's city”
”got it...”
Mars wasted no time and opened a portal to King's city and stepped though, after he arrived at King's city he walked on foot towards the castle when suddenly Victoria popped out of his shadow
”Mars... I'm hungry”
”oh... well in that case the king can wait, let's go to the marketplace”
walking a little further Mars soon found himself in a bustling marketplace with all kinds of stalls and after looking around for a little while he found a stall selling grilled meat on a stick
”hey can I have 10 of those?”
”sure coming right up”
the man that was manning the stall soon made the kebabs and handed them to Mars and after Mars paid he found a bench and sat down and fed Victoria the grilled meat while enjoying the peace
”wait... what's that guy doing?”
Mars spotted a suspicious looking man that was lugging a heavy looking sack and activated his [Energy: sense] to take a closer look at the sack
”....what the fuck!”
Mars got up from the bench and walked over to the man and gave him a clap on the shoulder
”what do you want brat, I'm in a hurry!”
”oh, sorry I just want to ask you a simple question”
”I don't have time!”
the man brushed off Mars and quickly left, Mars narrowed his eyes slightly and followed the man with his eyes as he walked away
”Victoria can you follow him and then meet me in the castle when your done?”
”sure...”
”good girl, I'll see you later then”
”see you... Mars”
Mars split up form Victoria and walked to the castle were he was lead inside by knight and passed straight to the king's chambers where the knight knocked on the door which then soon was opened by another knight
”I have brought Mars”
”okay”
the knight's exchanged salutes before one of them gestured for Mars to walk inside
'I wonder what's up..?'
Mars walked in and saw the king was sitting at a table, when the king saw him he quickly stood up and welcomed Mars
”Mars it's good that you have come... leave us”
”””yes my king!”””
Mars passed by the knights that exited the room and sat down in front of the king
”it's good that you're here.... before we start I have to ask did you have anything to do with the collapse of the empire?”
”well... I killed the emperor”
the king's eyes widened slightly as he stared at Mars for a moment before he gave a sigh
”I see...well then let's get to the main topic, please enter”
as soon as the king spoke a door opened and 3 knights walked in, only they were a little different from normal knights, their armor was dark as the night sky and they each carried different weapons, just as the king was about to introduce them to Mars one of them that had metal claws fixed on her gauntlets suddenly yelled
”AH! it's the guy that doesn't want to get stabbed!”
Mars' eyes widened slightly, he knew those dark knights, they were the ones that had tried to stop him when he killed Gas Fedeson the corrupt lord that had caused their crash when they were heading to the empire for the first time
”quiet Kim!”
the captain, a young looking man with short brown hair hit Kim in the back of the head with his fist
”OUCH! why are you mean captain!?”
”we're in the presence of the king you imbecile!”
”oh right, s-sorry lord king”
