Will of chaos

720 Cap 718: Sneaking out with gifts

Pov Allan (Hero of the God of Justice):

I was still shaken by what happened, not shaken by the end of the 8th Prince of that Realm, that man paid for his crimes with his death, as far as I know, may his Soul rest in peace and in his next life choose more righteous paths.

What shook me was the maid who was with him, the way she stood, the emptiness in her eyes, the unwillingness in her Aura.

It seems that her bond with that Prince was stronger than I could have imagined, I don't know if it was her heart or her mind that broke when she witnessed his end, maybe both.

After the conviction of the culprit of all this and the activation of that crystal, I felt a strong presence arise in the center of the city, this was not the same presence that had spread through the city before, it was different, it seemed to be nature itself incarnate.

Soon after I saw a beam of green and gold light go towards the ocean before the explosion of energy from Nature happened and solved the whole problem.

We saw all this from the Palace while we were surrounded by soldiers, I was carrying Bianca who fainted from exhaustion, and Darcia tied her up and was taking care of the maid who was next to this Prince, but I think it was not necessary, this maid had already perfidious to live.

We could have left whenever we wanted, these people didn't have the strength to stop us and they knew it, so they didn't approach us.

I chose to stay to settle everything with these people, I would tell them what happened and why we were here, I am responsible for my choices and I will act accordingly.

-------------

After more than an hour a knight in black armor approached to listen to our story, I was calm to see that we had been behaving for all this time.

I told him everything except the part about us being Humans, I told him that we came from another continent following clues about a smuggling of forbidden items, I didn't mention the type of item due to having too many eyes and ears around, but I implied that it was this item that caused this confusion that almost destroyed the city.

So I told him that we were investigating the 8th Prince Gordon who was our prime suspect who we were sure was at fault, but unfortunately we didn't have any evidence yet, so we didn't act sooner.

After listening to us this man left before returning a few hours later when we were invited to a meeting with the King of that Kingdom.

When I confirmed that there was no one but my team, myself, the King and two people the King said to be of great trust in a room closed off by magical barriers, I told him everything in hand details and why we had to kill his son.

The maid who was in Darcia's custody was taken to be tried by the laws of this Kingdom because of complicity with the 8th Prince.

The King knew we were stronger than any of his warriors and we could run whenever we wanted, so he didn't try to stop us, he let us go, which we did.

After leaving the Palace we went straight to the Commerce Guild where the building where the Auction was happening before all this confusion, I wanted to find Zenos to thank him for his help.

I was able to feel that absurd amount of energy and mixed Auras coming from the direction we had come from, I know he was doing something to delay the destruction of this city, I don't like him, mainly because it was abandoning this city to its own fate if if it weren't for his Elf mate wanting to help.

When we got to where Zenos was supposed to be, we found nothing but a bunch of people arguing about random things.

-----------

"I knew he couldn't be trusted." (I)

"Are you still talking about that? You should be thanking that cute Vampire instead of badmouthing him at every opportunity." (Darcia)

"He stole the auction and royalty from this Kingdom!" (I)

"He didn't steal the Auction, as far as we know it was his group that organized the auction and the items taken were just the ones they brought, the rest were taken by some opportunists who are being hunted now." (Darcia)

"And the Floating Ship that belongs to the Royal Palace?" (I)

"We don't know if it was him." (Darcia)

"They came with two red Rabbit women invading the harbor before the Ship disappeared." (I)

"I must agree with Darcia, as much as everything points to him, we have no evidence to accuse him." (Bianca)

"Even if it had been him, it might as well be considered his reward for helping to save the city." (Darcia)

"Why would he get a reward when we don't get anything?" (I)

As we talked I drank my wine while looking out over the Ocean on the Ship I Bought in this town, as our mission accomplished it was time to return home.

"He got away very fast, we don't even know if he bought time until we got to the culprit." (I)

"Now you are making excuses, we know it could only be him, we could feel part of his Aura mixed in that power that spread through the city." (Bianca)

"Let's stop talking about that maniac, we have to get back soon, we still have to get the person who was buying the Flow Coral." (I)

The Flow Coral only grows in aquatic places of convergence of various types of energy, it takes centuries to grow by absorbing all these energies and harmonizing them together as a perfect conductor.

The uses for this type of item are myriad, but it is an extremely controlled item, it might be safe to take a piece or another over the centuries, but doing what this Prince Gordon did is reckless beyond all consideration.

Bianca was smart to think about the possibility of the mission failing, it was thanks to that that we considered a plan B, which was the acquisition of that crystal that Bianca activated.

Without that that city and its surroundings would have been devastated, we too could have died there.

"Bianca, when do you think I'll meet Zenos again?" (Darcia)

"It shouldn't take long, that Vampire is always in a lot of trouble, we're sure to find him again." (Bianca)

"I hope you're wrong, I don't want to see that lunatic anymore." (I)

"Speak for yourself, I want to see him, I want to hug him, I want to kiss him, I want to do..." (Darcia)

"Darcia, please stop drooling, behave like the warrior everyone thinks you are, no one needs to know about your perverted tastes." (Bianca)

"Tells the Priestess he couldn't stop looking at Celestina beside him." (Darcia)

"I don't know what you're talking about." (Bianca)
