74 Sunset At The Restauran (1/2)

Naga went back to their manor and talked to Old Samuel about what he learned. The old elf was shocked and told Naga to be careful in front of the shadow emissary. It was decided that only Bill and Old Samuel will interact with the people from the council.

Aftet talking to Old Samuel, Naga went to the manor's gathering hall where Draxus is waiting.

Draxus stood up and bowed down when Naga entered.

”Greetings, My Lord.” He greeted Naga.

Naga nodded and said, ”Good to see you.”

The servants brought the food and drinks before closing the door.

Naga and Draxus sat down.

”My Lord, the kids are talented. We fought demon scouts and they did well.” Draxus said proudly.

”Great. I am expecting a lot from them.” Naga said and took a roasted chicken.

Draxus smiled and said, ”They will not disappoint you, My Lord.”

Naga smiled but did not respond.

He thought for a bit and said, ”I need you to do something for me.”

Draxus asked before drinking his wine, ”What is it, My Lord?” 'Gulp.'

”I need the shadow emissary. Alive. We need to have a good conversation.” Naga said and smiled.

”I see... Leave it to me then.” Draxus responded with a sinister smile.

Naga told Draxus to initiate the plan before the shadow emissary goes back to the council. Of course, they will do it outside of the city's teritory.

”My Lord, do you trust the Gold Sky Palace?” Draxus asked after they talked about their plans with the shadow emissary.

Naga looked at him and smiled, ”Why? Are you worried of something?”

”Yes, My Lord. The palace is too proud and arrogant. Their High King is dangerous and cunning.” Draxus said.

”I understand. Don't worry.” Naga said and smiled.

He continued, ”Go, use this time to prepare.”

”As you wish, My Lord.” Draxus bowed down and left.

Naga stood up as well and left the hall.

He was about to go back to his house when Ian approached him.

”Boss.” Ian bowed down and said.

”What is it?” He looked at Ian and smiled.

”Miss Bella wants to see you.” Ian said with excitement.

Naga smiled and asked, ”Where is she?”

”Central District, Gentle Book Restaurant.” Ian lightly bowed and answered.

”Got it.” Naga smiled and said before leaving.

”Boss, I'll get your ca...” Ian was interrupted.

”It is fine. I want to walk so just continue your training. It will be helpful.” Naga said smiling.

”I... I understand, Boss.” Ian responded and bowed down.

Naga left the manor's gate and walked straight to the central district. The people from different factions who saw him tried to avoid him. Only nobles with good connection to the authoritive manor greeted him. They tried to leave a good impression.

Now, everyone knows that this regular looking boy is one of the most dangerous individuals in the city.

When he reached the central district, he easily saw the Gentle Book Restaurant.

It is an elegant pagoda with nine floors. There are two golden statues of scholars outside too. He saw a small garden with a lot of rare flowers too.

Two young guards immediately approached him. They bowed down and said, ”Welcome, young master.”

The manager of the restaurant went outside as well and approached him. She smiled and said, ”Young master, the princess is waiting at the seventh floor.”

Naga looked at them and nodded, ”Thank you.”

The manager escorted him inside.

Before he entered the third floor, the manager said, ”Young master, the whole floor was rented by the princess. She is at the table near the window.

Naga nodded and said, ”Thanks.”
