The Second Life's

LXXVIII - Ava Threats

Chloe came out of my room after she finished treating the wound on my leg. The whole mess has been cleared up by another waiter. Now I live alone in my room. At the same time, Ava appeared in front of my bed with very dark eyes.

Looks like Ava didn't sleep all night. I woke up and smiled at him, but he just acted cold and sat on the sofa without excuse. My feelings are not good. I put on my sandals, and approached Ava to find out what she meant by her arrival. I also still want to know the news about Isla.

“What's up? Is there something?” I asked Ava.

“Isaac does not want to be separated from Isla's body until this moment. Though it would be better if Isla soon buried in his best condition,” said Ava. “I'm dizzy thinking about it. Too many troublesome children are all around me.”

I'm staring.

“Not you, Queen. I'm talking about the other kids.” Ava folded her hands. “Because I was upset, I went back to the palace of Consort Sienna and beat her up. The person inside the Concubine's body was unconscious.”

“Is it okay to do that?” tanyaku. “I mean, it could have been Consort Sienna coming back and doing something.”

Instead of being scared, Ava laughed. “Back? Where possible! Performing body exchange magic drained a lot of mana, surely he would not be able to do anything in the future. We can use that opportunity to disable Consort Sienna.”

Also true. But, I feel that this plan is not the right thing. The concubine of Sienna was reported to be ill, automatically all eyes were on her. She was a well-respected woman in Vanhoiren, as well as a woman who was disliked by other upper-class nobles. With her pain, many nobles sharpened their informants on her.

Therefore, I was afraid that if there was even a slight suspicious movement, those upper class nobles would know the truth. Will know if anyone intends to harm Consort Sienna. I'll know if that person is mine. And will know if magic still exists in this region.

Isn't that a rather dangerous thing that could bring me down at once?

“Do you have any doubts?” ava asked, it seems like Ava knows my concern about the plan.

“Can we think about it again later? Actually, I'm having a little trouble,” I said. “I thought you knew about it.”

“Oh. Problem assault and idiotic knights, huh?” Ava chuckles. “You want to interrogate that waitress?”

I'm nodding. “The plan, I want to interrogate the waiter tonight.”

“Good. I will help you,” Ava said. “It just so happens that I want to find my emotional outlet. Turns out the solution also came.”

“Uhm, don't say—”

“Of course I help you for the bouncer part,” cut Ava. “Leave the question-and-ask section to you. You're the boss.”

“Bos? I think it's an exaggerated designation.” I'm humbling. “By the way, about Isla—”

“Don't discuss that. I'm upset with Isaac,” cut Ava—again. “Let me calm down just a little.”

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Ava and I looked at each other. I gave Ava a code to immediately disappear, hide, or anything that could make her whereabouts unknown to the person knocking on the door.

However, Ava's response left me a bit shocked.

“Tell him in, I want to meet your idiot knight,” Ava said confidently.

“Tapi—”

“Queen, it's me,” said Hendery.

“Come in,” I said with extreme force.

Ava just stood still and remained seated on the sofa while holding her legs and folding both her hands forward. I don't know what Ava's actions mean. I just hope, Hendery will be okay.

As soon as Hendery came in and closed the door, the man petrified beside the door of my room. Ah, it seems like she saw Ava's presence.

“The repairman who will fix the Queen's window will be here soon,” replied Hendery.

I nodded in understanding. “Good. Is that what you want to say?”

“Ya, Queen.” Hendery looked down respectfully. “By the way, I don't know if the Queen has any guests.”

Ava stood up and approached Hendery. “Hoo, are you curious about me?”

I could see Hendery goosebumps when he was approached by Ava.

“Uhm, not Miss,” said Hendery.

Plaque!

“Call me Mistress,” Ava said after slapping into Hendery's left cheek.

Hendery is shocked by Ava's spontaneous actions. “Yes geez. A child has asked to be called Madam. Then rough anyway. Don't be so impolite, the Queen saw your actions, little Miss.”

“Enough, Knights Franklin.” Better kulerai before Ava make Hendery battered. I could feel Ava's emotional aura beginning to appear.

It seems I was late, Ava had already kicked Hendery's future in the first place until the poor man fell to the floor. Ava looked at him without looking down. I was surprised to see that. Hendery complained of pain. I should have done that to Idris later, too.

“I know if you really want a high title on Charlotte,” Ava told Hendery. “And I also know that you already know about Charlotte's plan to overthrow Emperor XX.”

“Who are you really?” ask Hendery with great difficulty.

“Who am I? I'm a Charlotte bouncer,” Ava said loudly. “If you dare to divulge this secret to others, I will twist your tongue until it is removed from its place. You understand?”

Hendery was silent. Therefore, Ava kicked Hendery in the stomach. “One more time I ask, do you understand?”

“Ya!” shout Hendery.

“Good.” Ava smiled and turned her eyes to me. “I want to get wind. Later that night I'll be back again to help you do that.”

That means beating up Belka.

“Good.” I could only see Ava coming out of the window and flying away from the palace. Hendery looked amazed at that. I let Hendery wrestle with his own thoughts.

“Queen, is she a witch?” ask Hendery who is still confused as well as in pain.

“You have seen for yourself,” replied me origin. “As you heard from him earlier, I do not tolerate treason. So, think about it again to stab me in the back.”

“Certainly no,” says Hendery. “As long as the Queen holds the Queen's promise, I will try my best to help the Queen and look after the Queen.”

I smile. “Alright, hear you say like that, I'm so calm.”

“So, whether my salary can—”

“No,” cut me pissed. “Come out if you have no more business.”

Hendery seemed to want to shed his tears and prostrate himself at my feet, but he did not do so and preferred to leave in fear of Ava's threat. Men like him should not be spoiled. There must be a little bit of a firm feeling from me.

Now, I just have to wait until nightfall, and launch my actions to interrogate Belka along with Ava.

I just wish Ava wasn't too hard on that waitress. Even though the waiter tried to kill me earlier.
