Letter Threat!?

    After seeing Karina and Vina who seemed fine, Veroa was immediately able to breathe with relief. Those who were being feared were actually eating a snack in his study room Karina who happened to be, Vina was also playing there.

    “What's up, Mister?” asked Karina who did not know about the sneak attack. Vina is still busy with her own toys, not feeling interested in adult talk.

    Veroa explained a little about the previous incident and he also showed a suspicious looking paper that was deliberately wrapped around his needle. He himself had not opened it, before he had not had time to open it when he remembered the situation of Karina and Vina. So, he immediately opened it there and let Karina also know the contents of that possible kind of letter.

    In the letter, there is a pretty neat handwriting. The two read it carefully, until the end of the paragraph, marked Duke Arthemis. The contents of her letter are threatening letters that she has found evidence of Karina trying to commit murder against her. As his compensation, he wanted his body and made himself the satisfier of his lust.

    It seemed like the past was too horrible for Karina, especially when she was young. Although he looks like he is in his twenties more, but in fact he is still a dozen, approaching the age of twenty. However, at such a young age had a little girl of four. His body responded to recalling the memory, seen from his trembling hands, as if afraid that he would become the toy of the man who had ruined his future.

    “You don't have to worry, Karina. I'm not gonna let a guy like that stay around for too long. Tomorrow, there will be news of the fall of a duke from the Kingdom of Rome. But, I heard from the soldiers, there is a struggle for the throne, I will not kill him until the time comes. Moreover, it seems fun when I watch it from there. You guys want to come?” veroa said in a relaxed tone.

    “Wah! Brother want to go to Rome Kingdom? Vina! Vina follow!” exclaimed Vina who heard Veroa's invitation on the sidelines playing.

    Karina was still pondering something, she still seemed to feel reluctant to go to that kingdom. Moreover, after getting a threatening letter from someone he hated the most. If it wasn't Veroa who had invited him there, he might have rejected it outright. But, in the end, “Alright, I will hand my luck to you, Master. Please, protect me from that kind of man. Also, show the pitiful figure of the man after the usurpation of the throne ends”

    “Sure, Mr. Putri”

    Veroa plans to entrust the City of Tungsten to Zaldot along with some of his magic troops, as he has no confidants other than Karina. Because there is no marquis here, there are only earls, so it requires more power when he is not there.

    “Oh yes, Aethelfaed, please remove the rabbit moon” said Veroa after leaving Karina's work room and was about to go to her room, because no one saw her at this time.

    From a vacuum, a circle divides the air from a small size that slowly enlarges until it is fit for a rabbit to enter. From there, the moon rabbit jumped and landed on Veroa's shoulders. The fur is soft, the color is beautiful, fat anyway, that's the moon rabbit that was previously full of wounds and has received special care from the system.

    “Looks, I better just give it to Vina, besides as her friend playing, as well as her guard. From the information I got, the moon rabbit is also good at fighting. It would be nice if this rabbit had the ability to protect its master” murmured.

    Opening a door, a magnificent room was seen inside. It is magnificent, but the decoration is made simple, there are no photos, statues, or anything like that. The room devoted to a ruler, has been transformed by him into his taste. His taste is simple, but as a noble, he behaves like an adventurer, not too concerned with the views of people. In this magnificent and simple room, he laid his body on a soft mattress. He fell asleep immediately.

    The next day, in the study, Veroa was sitting playing with state documents. A lot of work is delayed, in addition to reading and checking, he also has to sign and consider everything on the related documents. A job that was mentally and mind draining, fortunately he had been trained for it.

    In the heat of the sun, someone knocked on the door. After being given permission to enter, the door was opened. Two guards were carrying someone related to yesterday's incident. While both hands are tied, the legs can still attack, but without magic energy, the suspect is unable to do anything. The rope used to tie his hands together was specially made to absorb magic energy. So, anyone who only depends on it, will not be able to do anything when in such circumstances. 

“Luckily, in the Cosmic World, the majority of people depended on the magic energy” thought, remembering the Demon King Azazel and imagining that he was in such a suspect position.

    “Your good work, in return, you get a day off and to whoever manages to catch this guy, gets a vacation too. Please tell” he said as long as the two people who delivered the suspect were still there. No need for protection, he did tell her like that to all of his soldiers. Except just to watch over the palace, it was indeed their duty.

    Putting aside the collection of documents on the table, Veroa stood up and approached the suspect. He took off the veil that blocked his face with a single pull and it left him slightly gasping in pain.

    “It turns out only a pretty-faced man toh” he said in a slightly mocking tone. He thought that the suspect was a man, because even though he had a beautiful face, the facial expression displayed looked cruel. While he had never seen a woman express like that, even the woman who had previously been killed by him as a child kidnapper in Illiod Village, expressed her worth as a woman.

    “Cuih!”

    His saliva hit nothing and was floating in the air. Veroa instantly controlled it with magic energy, so as not to dirty himself or the floor, he immediately evaporated it by heating the temperature to the maximum.

    “Really, the attitude of subordinates depends on the attitude of the leader. What kind of leader sets such a bad example that teaches such ugly expressions? Perhaps, a person named Arthemis alone times yes who has such good taste. Haha...” he said back to heat up the suspect in front of him.

    “I will not kill you, my subordinates also only get poison doang. Even I will let you go, back to the Kingdom of Rome. Provided that! You delivered a message from me to him” said Veroa who sounded like a breeze passing through the suspect's ear, making him feel more relieved, because it still has a life.

    “Good! I I do, Tuan” he said a little stuttered, but his tone seemed polite after hearing he would be let go.
