I Am No King's
Chapter 247 – Lunch Promise



"I really didn't expect to see aunty. Especially at the mall that's my base."


"You're not going to attack me during this truce, are you?"


"Although I really want to do it, but I have to hold back. I mean, you guys have been so good at giving a ceasefire time. When I return milk with tubal water?"


Me and Aunt Hervia had a little meeting. We did not meet at the Ease cafe, but at the all-you-can eat buffet restaurant where we roasted and boiled our own food. Of course this dining place is not the open type, but the closed type where one small room measuring 4 x 4 meters with one table in the middle.


I haven't seen Aunt Hervia in a long time. And true, aunty Hervia and aunt Filial have almost the same features. Long black and soft hair like silk and bright green eyes. However, although similar, Aunt Hervia still has differences with aunty Filial. The lower jaw of aunty Hervia is smaller and her eyes are also narrower. However, broadly speaking, they are quite similar. If it was not attention, a normal person would not be able to tell the difference.


Ah, correction. If people are normal, they may still be able to tell the difference. Like a mother, like a child. Aunt Hervia's chest is clearly smaller than that of a filial aunt. However, Aunt Hervia was wearing a suit with a skirt above the knees. Business appearance with a slim body gives its own plus.


"So, how's your relationship with Illuvia?"


"Honestly, after I returned, he did not give any more news. And ever since Agade and Orion officially went to war, I've stopped any surveillance on Illuvia. Yeah, even though I don't actually have to because auntie must have been watching her, right?"


We chatted casually while grilling raw meat and eating cooked ones.


"Not really. Aunty can also be cheated. Especially when he claims to be Sarru. Aunt thank you for not killing him back then."


"Don't discuss. I feel alone because I broke his hand."


Our tone and behavior are completely opposite to the topic discussed. When we talk casually while eating as if this meeting is a recreation, the topic of our discussion discusses the life and death of others.


"So, apparently, Orion doesn't have the same problem as Guan, huh? Though, I was a little hopeful that Orion also broke because of Rina's offer."


"Of course not! We do really serious screening when recruiting members, unlike Guan who is just a mercenary group. Simply put, we are a company and Guan is just a subject worker under the association."


I sipped the broth, allowing its warmth to spread throughout the body.


"On the other hand, Agade and Akadia were quick to act. In less than half a day, there was already a message coming to Orion stating Guan was out of the alliance. You really don't want to owe us, do you?"


"Of course I don't want to. In crucial times like this, debt or even a ceasefire like the one I am now experiencing will be very profitable. And, I don't want you guys to be the ones to benefit."


Wait up! News of Guan's release has officially reached Orion? Does this mean that Quetzal has also gotten the news? Yuan, how fast are you moving?


Although surprised, I did not show it on my face at all. Only in front of the Emir and the others would I show a shocked expression. In front of the enemy? Don't hope!


"However, what a pity. You were able to excel with the destruction of Apollo. However, with Guan destroyed, we're back in balance."


"No. I think we're still superior." I'm correcting Aunt Hervia's statement. "While Agade and Akadia are still allies, Orion and Quetzal are not allies. So, the position is 2 vs 1 vs 1. We're still superior."


"Ah, unfortunately not." Aunt Hervia chugging sweet tea. "This morning, I just met Stella, the leader of Quetzal. And, even though the alliance was already destroyed, we made a non-aggression agreement for 2 weeks. So, even though Quetzal and Orion are not allied, at least, we will both attack you."


"Ah, so is it. Too bad. Hehe...."


I responded to Aunt Hervia's news with a laugh. Actually this condition is not good enough and makes me upset. But I can still hide it.


"So, Gin, since when did you know that I was Constel, the leader of Orion? Did you investigate Illuvia's background?"


And you're asking now? Ahaha. I actually wanted to laugh off hearing Aunt Hervia's question. However, I paused that intention when I saw Aunt Hervia who was looking at me sharply.


"No. No. gabe. I didn't investigate Illuvia's background. There is just the opposite. I'm looking for information and background on Constel. And from there, I learned of the real identity of Constel, who is an aunt, and also the information that aunty has a daughter who is Illuvia. So, I've known aunty's identity for a long time. Long before I knew Illuvia in High School."


"You're looking for information about me? Have I offended you in the past?"


"Just try it."


I had some doubts about Aunt Hervia's words. I mean, maybe he can remember the Orion members who died. However, I doubt he will remember the name of the non-members who died because of Orion. I just don't remember the names of everyone who died at my hands.


Nah! Never mind. I'm not even sure Aunt Hervia knows that Orion is connected to that. However, Aunt Hervia did not take her eyes off me. He even let his hand that was grilling meat stop.


All right then.


"A few years ago, Orion bought an orphan from the Cleinhad family named Luci. The orphan cried and whined when he arrived in Orion. Instead of calming him down, the Orion members kicked this little boy instead. Apparently, this kick was too strong, breaking some of the little boy's ribs, leaving him dead on the spot. A child broke a rib and died. How do you think the pain he's going through? And, you think, how scared is that kid when it happens, huh?"


"...tapi–"


"Yes. I understand that the little boy wasn't the only one killed in Orion's dealings. Many other children may suffer more from it. But I don't care about other kids. I only care about that kid. Not the others."


I continued, "maybe aunts, and people like aunts, think they're just orphans with no family, relatives. They do not have someone who is blood related. No one will care what happens to them. But, unfortunately, one of those children was someone I considered family. No. gabe. In fact, in that moment, she was more important than my family."


Aunt Hervia no longer looked me in the eye. He turned his eyes.


As a bonus, I gave him an additional story.


"Aunty Hervia, does auntie know how I feel when she finds out that I'm at school with the daughter of the Orion leader, the one who's indirectly responsible for my family's death? In fact, he insisted on making me his deputy. Do you know how upset I felt then? Illuvia was lucky enough that I didn't torture, kill, then send her limbs to your house."


Right after I said that, the atmosphere of this room became so heavy. If normal people were in this room, they would already have difficulty breathing. Hervia's aunt's hand looked stiff, holding the clamp so firmly. It seemed, upon hearing that Illuvia could become a victim, the killing intent and bloodthirsty aura of Aunt Hervia instantly burst out. There's a reason why we chose this kind of enclosed space.


"However, Lugalgin, you didn't do it. What keeps you from holding yourself back."


"Illuvia was lucky that I met her after slaughtering the Cleinhad family. If I had met him before slaughtering the Cleinhad family, he might have experienced everything I described."
