"Hm... So the point is, you can't tell me this first?"
Verdea nodded in response to my question, while some of her servants were busy rubbing her body
"I've got the big line. All that was left was the confirmation from the 2nd brother himself" He said later
...
This boy told me nothing but the fact that he would be made an ambassador, as well as information that Jael was actually healing himself. The second information was actually expected from the beginning, and now it is only a confirmation
Simultaneously, an official letter from Damien, who happened to come, stated that Verdea would be appointed as an ambassador, also came this morning. There is no information I can use as a weapon for now, and it just makes us even more pressured by time
Besides that I don't know anything else. Especially regarding his meeting with Marcellus lately
He didn't want to break it down at all. He would always reason 'That would unravel the secrets of the spirit world', then shift the topic as if nothing had happened before
Not that I want to force, but this curiosity of mine is really stirring. Maybe it's my nature who always wants to know a lot of things like this
"It looks like Marcellus helped a lot this time" I commented
"I can't say that. He also had time to confuse me, until in the end I myself who got the answer"
Ah, that feels annoying...
"By the way, where is Remina? I haven't seen him since I woke up?" I asked later
Verdea momentarily did not reply and instead looked at me with a confused face. "Don't she always greet you every morning?" He asked back then
"to be honest... Lately not. Since a few days ago when the society of noble children was held here"
He did it as if he was avoiding me. If Verdea was reasonable, but her attitude that suddenly changed to me that even made Verdea confused
"It seems he still feels too bad to us after that day"
Those kids are annoying too. They trigger Remina's trauma, then leave without any apology or help
If I meet Gabriel Grandier one more time, I'll slap her right in the face while Remina watches
"Then Veskal?" Verdea asked first this time
"Ah, he said that he wanted to sit on the roof because he was ready to come. Looks like he'll be pensive again in there"
And yes, Veskal was like that. It hasn't changed since we first met him. He was very happy to be on high, for some reason and whatever his condition, as long as he could
My friend acted like a cat, loving to be in such a high place...
"So he was pensive about what to try? He better help the others, right?" Verdea grumbled
"Ah, maybe about something related to someone else?"
...
We both turned to Frit who said so, making him blush and be happy when Verdea looked at him until he hid behind Nazia with a pretentious manner
"... You think he has a close person we don't know about?"
Verdea who looks serious it also makes Frit look thinking, although the lag has not changed
"looks like. Others usually also behave like Lord Veskal, as if they were missing someone"
Hm... That's so...
This should be a discussion in another day
"There is no need to think too much about Mr. Verdea, Mr. Oberon. Frit was indeed a bit difficult to read the atmosphere even though his analytical skills were very great" Nazia said
"Come on, I'm not that bad!" Frit protest
And after a few days of being under our watch, it seems like they have also started to actively interact with the people in the castle
...
...
"Oh yeah. Last night I actually wanted to discuss my discussion with Julius and Alorry. Incidentally this could also be related to your new position"
Although I was not happy with the coincidence, it meant that I had to bring this child back into trouble. Frank would also be furious to hear this...
"Did they ask us to come as representatives of their respective kingdoms to Orion?" Verdea asked
"Pulse... Yes and no. More precisely, I just heard that... There's a problem involving the whole world right now" I replied nervously
"... Big trouble?"
"... Very..."
I'm not kidding when I say that this involves the whole world
And unlike us Elves who were clear targets when all the kingdoms allied at that time, this time we had to fight something that was behind the shadows
Something that... There's still a little good information me, the kings, or whoever in the world knows
"... We better talk at the dinner table. Everyone should listen if the problem is that serious"
Verdea got out of her bathtub, then started wearing a towel
I nodded and led her out of the bathroom to avoid slipping on the floor
......................
-- In the dining room ---
"The bottom line, this time the problem that will be faced is a dark organization that practices black magic"
Everyone who had just cut their vegetables then stopped and looked at me
"Aleout?? Another black witch, Vainzel??" Luxor interrupted, looking fed up
Everyone is like that, even me and Verdea
"We haven't even finished tackling one yet, but now we have to face a group? Why haven't all these problems stopped since we got out of Miralius...?" Ivor grumbled
"Aren't we better get out of the way this time? I'm sure that's an option, right?" Claudia asked, while playing her food
"If so, we cannot choose. Think of it this way..."
They're black witches. Anything can be done with black magic, depending on the limitations of the witch
If my guess is correct, they could even make a mess in Miralius later on, especially when Seren was being helpless like this. Worst-case scenario, Miralius would be leveled to the ground once more, but until Ayahanda's space-reality magic would collapse as well
"I also wanted to get away from this matter, but Alorry offered me something. He said, 'that you won't be able to resist when you get it in Orion later', although I also still doubt whether it's true or not"
What I don't want right now is just a group attacking Miralius all of a sudden. We can ignore Yael for a while now, and get rid of those black magicians
That way, we can get calm for the next few months until we are ready to ward off Yael and Rosalia
This is not the easiest way, but I can say effective. My friends also need to rest after many times exposed to problems like this
And it didn't take long for Frank to look at me with wide eyes
"Why should my grandson be dragged again...?"
...
Verdea, take over. It's your responsibility...
Verdea understood the code from me, but she began to tremble nervously in the face of her grandfather
"I... Made ambassador of the kingdom by the 2nd brother..."
Silent...
Silent...
Any minute...
Boo-hoo
"WHATAAA???"
All my friends shouted at once, except Veskal and Alf. It seems like they already know or just want to close their ears because they suspect there is a loud noise coming
"Wait wait wait wait! Why suddenly??" Cyth asked confused
"I don't understand anymore! Give me something to slam!!" Ivor exclaimed as he slammed his hand on the table
"Ivor! Control yourself now!" Luna replied
The atmosphere became boisterous with Ivor as the main star, and Luna trying to make everyone quiet. Some tried just to be quiet, but instead got distracted and got involved in the mess, even the Verdean servants who had to handle everything that fell
"Will! They're so noisy!" Verdea called in my ears
Just focus on Vain. The countdown...
*Fwush!!*
...
...
"Have finished? Can we just eat?"
The atmosphere began to quiet down after the small Mana explosion I threw into the air. The only sound was the clink of my dinnerware hitting the plate as I sliced a tomato and stuffed it into my mouth.—put a look that said 'I'll beat you one by one'
"And yes, you heard it from his own people. He's already an ambassador now, thanks to that guy"
He will also be given the title of Count as a 'starting step in politics', based on what Damien wrote in his letter. Tomorrow, on the last day of the Flower Festival, she will be officially crowned in front of all the nobles in Hortensia
Count of Calendula city area and surrounding areas
All of my friends were drowning in that, especially knowing that we were once again entangled in this deadly game
"Whether you or Verdea, you two are always dragged into trouble..." Luna said, completely resigned
"That's why we're trying to get things done"
Her face was getting fed up because I was replying to her words just now
"Also, since Verdea and I are coming to Orion, I will bring 3 people along with my right hand"
Luna finally planted her face on the table after that, not listening to me anymore. He has absolutely no interest in coming along, but I have said another
"Who are those 3 people?" Alf asked as well
"Vescal and Albert as Verdea's bodyguards. Then...
Maybe I should call Zaphi-"
"If you want to take me, you better not call that guy...!" Luna cut in for a moment, filled with burning anger
Ahahahah... It's appalling...
"But she's the best big sister besides you, Luna. Not that I said that the others were bad, that's why I said 'best'" I said later
"The point is I don't want to. If so, then I'd better be-"
"I promise I'll take you to a duel later there, so stop complaining"
"By pleasure"
Ten seconds of negotiation, success
To help them get closer to each other. The father of the child always makes the heart hurt if it continues to be left without solutions for each other
"And I hope you don't mind letting Albert come along, Eleanor?" I then switched
"Absolutely not. I'm just glad he you think of as someone competent"
I just understand that he is so strong that it makes no sense to a human being who relies solely on physicality
"It's best to look around at the Andromeda people if we can stop by" Albert said
"Oh, great idea. And take it easy, 'cause we're gonna stop by there to pick up Zaphir and get ready before we go to Orion" I assure him
Albert and Eleanor were immediately delighted to hear my words
"So, when are our plans to go to Orion?" Verdea asked
"It's obvious, isn't it? We'll leave after you've been named Count and ambassador"
It was also better, we used the teleportation circle to leave quickly
...
'They're gonna be a big deal. Our informant even said, if they have a close relationship with the appearance of demons in the world, where it should not happen after the two great spirits brothers imprisoned them all somehow'
'If the black magician you're dealing with is really half a demon, I'm sure that he must be related to that dark organization. So you can't take your eyes off this. I'm afraid that what happens in the future will be worse than what has happened'
...
...
Alorry is right
I can't just shut up. This curiosity mixed in my heart really makes me want to explode right now
Forget about Rosalia or Jael for a while. We have to target and take down the organization as soon as possible
If they could bring out the demons in this world again, where no living creature should know the existence of that prison, then everything they did would be a big deal if left alone
This matter will be very dangerous. Whatever happens, whatever the form, the demons should not be allowed to be free
No more. Never again...
