The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chaptre 80. Explosions

As Dustin led Jeanne and Ingrid through the labyrinth, the Imps and the insect armies that passed by them showed no interest or aggression in them.

Not only that, the traps that Alice had previously set around the labyrinth were also inactive as they passed through it.

As they advanced further into the center of the Underground Labyrinth.

Raluk and his subordinates, who had already received orders from Aaron, went to escort them as additional guards.

At first Jeanne was quite surprised to see this group of goblins that looked like veteran soldiers.

The way they moved was completely different to normal goblins, they looked extremely disciplined.

But, after recalling that the place he had come to was now the home of Aaron, he thought to himself.

'It's normal that when it comes to Aaron, training a stupid goblin to be an elite soldier is not a difficult thing for him.

As her childhood friend, she has a lot of respect for Aaron and idolized him long ago.

Jeanne touched the 'Red Rose' that was on her chest in memory of the fun moments of the moment.

As Dustin and his group walked past a magnificent white building, he suddenly stopped and asked Raluk.

"Whatis that? I had never seen the building standing there before, " asked Dustin curiously.

"It's only natural that Sir Dustin doesn't know it, Mr. Alice only built it a few days ago. If I don't remember wrongly, it should be called a Sanatorium" Raluk replied respectfully.

"Sanatorium? Ahhh, were those women treated there? " ask Dustin.

"Ehhh, how did Sir Dustin know? " Raluk asked back.

"Not to be surprised, I heard some rumors circulating among the soldiers I killed earlier. After gathering some information, I can guess that you were the one who attacked the bandits' headquarters " replied Dustin.

"Ehhhh! Ka, you are attacking the bandits who are nesting in the mountains of Torli. " cried Ingrid.

He was quite surprised to hear this information, it never occurred to him, that the group of goblins he had previously pursued was the mastermind of the massacre of the ruthless bandits on Mount Torli.

"Aren't you guys pretty good" complimented Jeanne.

He also heard this rumor while still ringing in the city of Ra'Vella.

'As expected of Aaron. Even the goblins who were the lowest race could he conjure up into a powerful fighter. ' Jeanne praised Aaron.

Hearing Jeanne's praise, Raluk looked a little embarrassed.

"It's not as great as Jeanne's daughter thought.My group didn't work alone at the time, there were a lot of people involved in the attack. Your bodyguards probably know them" Raluk said, looking at Ingrid standing next to Jeanne.

"Whatchu mean? " ask Ingrid looking confused.

"Former friends of your party were involved in the attack" Raluk said.

"Ja, don't tell me, the people you mean are Amara and Bodil? " ask Ingrid.

"Yes, they both killed the leader of the bandits" Raluk replied.

"Ehhhh, impossible! We have only been separated for a few weeks, how can the two become that strong, to the extent that they can defeat the bandit leader who has the combat power equivalent to the city General." cried Ingrid.

It was the most shocking information he had heard today.

Ingrid became a member of the [Sword Valkyrie] for three more years and he very well understood the combat capabilities that each member possessed.

Hearing Amara and Bodil who managed to defeat the badit leader, he thought it was just a delusion.

"That's the reality" said Raluk.

But... Sometimes, reality can move much more strangely than fantasy.

"Sir Dustin, are we going to continue his journey now? " raluk asked to remind Dustin that the master of the labyrinth was waiting for their arrival.

Hearing Raluk's question, Dustin looked at Jeanne who looked a little tired.

"Daughter Jeanne, are you hungry? " ask Dustin suddenly.

"Hmm, it's past my lunch schedule, I'm feeling a little hungry" Jeanne replied.

"Good! Raluk, take the two to the royal kitchen for a meal" Dustin said.

"T, but... "

"This is an order from the master! The two of you can also take advantage of that time to rest for a while, before meeting the master of the labyrinth." said Dustin cutting Raluk's words.

"All right, I mean. Princess Jeanne and her bodyguards will follow me to the royal kitchen. Then, what about you, Sir Dustin? " ask Raluk.

"You go without me, there are some things I want to make sure first, I will follow later" replied Dustin.

"..., fine! Princess Jeanne, please follow me" said Raluk as he led the two towards the royal kitchen.

Dustin looked at Raluk's group who were walking away for a moment, before he walked towards the Sanatorium.

******************

The royal kitchen.

After Raluk's group arrived at the royal kitchen to rest.

They accidentally meet Amara, Bodil and Conley, who have recovered from his heart wound there.

Amara and Bodil were greatly shocked when they saw Ingrid who was inside the labyrinth once again.

Meanwhile, what made Conley surprised was the woman standing beside Ingrid while smiling kindly looking at the others.

'Why is this woman here? ' asked Conley in heart.

"Why are you here? " ask Amara.

"Didn't you have left together with Britt and the others, what happened? " ask Bodil.

"Before I answer both of you questions, I want to apologize in advance for deceiving you. Actually, I was not an adventurer, I lied back then.

I'm Jeanne's personal bodyguard on a secret mission" said ingrid, feeling guilty.

"Ehhh, Princess bodyguard, you mean." said Amara as she looked at the woman standing beside Ingrid.

"Yes, she was the third princess of the kingdom of Liberas, Jeanne D'Hedwig" said Ingrid introducing the princess.

"It's nice to meet you guys" Jeanne said kindly.

"Sorry for our previous discourtesy, I am also honored to meet the princess in this place" Conley said as he tidied up his clothes.

He lowered his head towards Jeanne to show his respect to the royal family.

Warnings and bodils also follow Conley's movements after learning that they are dealing with the princess at this time.

"There's no need to be so formal with me. You're ingrid's friend, no, that means you're my friend. So take it easy " said Jeanne with a smile.

"Ka, if princess Jeanne says that! so we will be happy to accept it" Conley said with respect.

In the palace kitchen, food and drinks were prepared for Jeanne.

The drink was undoubtedly the best Wine, and some high-class Fruit Wine.

Even for Jeanne who came from the royal family, she had never felt anything like this before.

To the point that he subconsciously sighed after drinking it. It was a good Wine even for those from the royal family.

On the other hand, he had a different opinion towards the food provided.

All tableware was made of silver, so no complaints were made there.

But, soft and smooth bread with fruit jam as well as cooked beef soup with some extra seasoning that strengthens the taste of the meat, it is a sumptuous dish.

But only for ordinary people.

For Jeanne who had never eaten such things, she was quite happy that it felt fresh to her.

But, it would be questionable whether it was a suitable food for nobles or not.

There is a reason behind this menu.

First of all, about Wine and Fruit Wine, it was the private collection of Aaron and Alice, the drink was the legacy of the Magic Kingdom.

In fact, both have no interest in alcohol. But they kept it as a memento.

On the other hand, food is made by Amara.

Because Aaron and Alice do not have gastronomy, they are unable to make a decent meal.

The goblins who could eat anything were also unlikely to be able to make a good meal.

As for Conley and Bodil who were former adventurers, the only dish they knew was to sprinkle salt and pepper on the meat they roasted.

The women who were previously held captive by the bandits had yet to fully recover, so it was impossible to order them.

Therefore, only Amara was selected to cook after the elimination process.

To be honest, the cooking skill that Amara had was also mediocre.

But, as a result of using the best quality ingredients, he managed to make dishes with luxurious shades to serve.

Although from the beginning, Jeanne did not come to this labyrinth to eat.

But, they still needed to show a little hospitality to the royal family, or so in the opinion of the two labyrinth masters.

Jeanne enjoyed the food and drinks served to her.

But....

'BOOOOOM! '

A loud explosive sound suddenly sounded from the direction of the Sanatorium.

"What's going on? " ask Bodil.

"I don't know either! But, it looks like the explosion came from the Sanatorium" Conley said.

"Wine! The women are still there " said Amara.

"Sir Dustin." said Raluk.

Accompanied by his men, he ran towards the Sanatorium quickly. Amara, Conley and Bodil also followed the Goblins from behind.

Meanwhile, the princess was still sitting in the palace kitchen quietly.

"Sir, what are we going to do next? " ask Ingrid.

The princess finished the Wine that was in her glass slowly before saying.

"I'm pretty curious about what's going on there, we'll follow the others" Jeanne said standing up from her chair.

He walked towards the Sanatorium casually, accompanied by Ingrid.
