The Continuing Misconception

Frey rushes to the store to make sure everyone keeps their mouths shut about what just happened. When he almost arrives at the store, Frey meets Lydia in front of the store and asks Daru where she is.

"Bos Daru went to King Vanir's residence after asking me about what happened earlier" Lydia replied.

"How did you answer?" ask Frey full of anxiety.

"I-I answered according to what happened,"

Frey's worries really happened.

I'm late! Why didn't he tell me first? Is he really angry? thought Frey.

"Continue your work, Lydia" Frey said as he walked into the store.

Frey sat behind the counter with a face all wrong. Frey is confused as to what he should do, catches up with Daru and explains everything, or waits for Daru to return. Frey's expression drew curiosity from the person beside her, Shera.

"Boss Frey, what's wrong?" ask Shera.

"ah! It's okay, I'm just confused choosing," Frey replied.

Boss Frey confused choosing between Chris and Boss Daru? I must support Boss Daru! thought Shera.

"Ehm, Boss Frey, you definitely know which one is the best between the two. Choose the closest," said Shera referring to Daru.

Frey thought for a moment and digested Shera's opinion. Near? Nearest time? Shera was right, I have to meet Daru now in Moon City, Frey thought.

"Thank you, Shera. I'm going to Moon City" Frey said as he left Shera.

Shera was silent for a moment trying to digest the situation, then she said, "Eh? The closest person is in Moon City? Is Boss Frey closer to Chris than Boss Daru? Oh shit! What did I just do?"

....

Meanwhile in the Resia Royal Palace, Moon City.

Daru was currently in the meeting room of the palace. Armed with the Royal Family's gold plate, Daru was immediately ushered there by a palace maid.

"Uncle Vanir," said Daru after King Vanir entered the room.

"Tumben you're here, Daru. What's up?" asked King Vanir before sitting in front of Daru.

"I want to talk about my third request," Daru replied in a serious tone.

"Hahaha, you finally said that. What the hell are you asking for? After everything you did to the Royal Family, I have no reason whatsoever to refuse your request" King Vanir said with a loud laugh.

King Vanir really owed Daru a debt after he successfully threw his sister, Verza Lionness, into prison five months ago. If Daru did nothing then, maybe his sister's coup would really happen.

"Can Uncle Vanir make a letter of delegation to other kingdoms in the Isla Continent? I want to see the King of each kingdom" Daru said.

King Vanir was silent for a moment before saying, "That's not impossible, but ...."

"But?" sahut Daru's.

"I'm not sure my delegation letter can affect all kingdoms. After the war between the Kingdom of Resia and the Kingdom of Vradarian, the relationship between the two kingdoms was really bad, and also the kingdom that was far from the Kingdom of Resia probably would not consider the delegation letter from me important," said King Vanir.

"Then, which Kingdom does Uncle Vanir believe can receive a delegate letter from Uncle?" ask Daru.

"Hmm .., give me some time to think," replied King Vanir as he glanced upwards.

Why do people always look up when they think? There's a glooge on top? said Daru in heart.

After a while King Vanir thought, he said, "I believe the Kingdom of Saria must have heeded my delegation, the Kingdom of Resia and the Kingdom of Saria have established economic relations through the Deuz River. And also the Kingdom of Morin, since Verlin was engaged to the Princess of the Kingdom of Morin, the relationship of the two Kingdoms also improved."

"It means the stay of the Kingdom of Worez, the Kingdom of Karian, and the Vradarian Kingdom which is a problem. Does Uncle have an idea?"

"Hmm .., for the Kingdom of Karian and the Kingdom of Worez, you can request a letter of delegation from the Kingdom of Morin, and for the Kingdom of Vradarian, the Kingdom of Saria may be able to help. I will write a personal letter to the two Kings so that they can help you make a delegation letter, "King Vanir got up and took some papers, pens, and a Royal seal.

"Haha, then I will trouble Uncle Vanir's old hand," Daru chuckled.

"Hahaha, this old hand can still knock down a tree in a few swings, you know?" King Vanir laughed in response to Daru's joke.

"Yes, I believe. If I said otherwise, you would definitely try to prove it by hitting a big tree. I'm afraid your hands will be in pain and my delegation letter will not be finished, hahaha." Daru laughed even harder.

"Hahaha, you're really interesting. For a long time no one has mocked me like this, because the last person to mock me, I was publicly executed" King Vanir replied lightly.

"Okay, you won." Daru immediately put on a flat expression.

King Vanir laughed at Daru's reaction. He immediately wrote a letter of delegation and a personal letter to the Kingdom of Saria and the Kingdom of Morin.

"Done. Then, what's your last request?" asked King Vanir after finishing the delegation letter at Daru's request.

"I'm only here for the third request. Let my fourth request be in debt, hahaha," Daru replied as he took out four gold-clad scrolls.

"Hahhh, you've always been like that" said King Vanir sighing.

"Oh, if you've arrived in the Morin Kingdom, see Verlin if you need help, he's there to meet his idol" added King Vanir.

"When did they both get married?" ask Daru.

"The two of them have not yet decided when they will marry, I and the King of Morin Kingdom agreed not to force them to hasten it. By the way, when did you and Frey get married?" King Vanir throws a deadly question at Daru.

"Uhuk uhuk." Daru pretended to cough for stalling time so that he could search for another topic for diversion.

"The two of you are a good fit" said King Vanir.

"Uhuk uhuk uhuk." Daru hardened his coughing voice.

"Marry her before anyone else precedes you." King Vanir gave his message. However, it only worsened Daru's mood.

Someone else precedes me. Come to think of it, I just made Frey miserable, and he almost died because of me. Hahh, the two worlds and I are still unlucky with romance, Daru thought as he rubbed his face.

"Why is your expression like that, Daru?" asked King Vanir in astonishment. Did I say the wrong thing? thought.

"It's okay, Uncle Vanir. Well, maybe it's already happened." Daru's expression got worse.

"W-what happened?" ask King Vanir.

"Ahaha, I will return to Sarren Hill, maybe sleeping all day will make me wake up from this nightmare, ahaha," Daru said with an expression full of emptiness.

Daru immediately got up from his seat and thanked him before leaving the room.

King Vanir gawked because he had only first seen Daru like that.

What happened between him and Frey? Already happened ..., has happened ..., lest others have preceded Daru? Poor young man .... Rennesia doesn't have a partner yet, does it? thought King Vanir.

....

Frey was currently beside the teleportation portal in Moon City to intercept Daru and explain everything.

"What's Daru doing to the palace? What is Sarren Hill? Why didn't he tell me first? Does he no longer need me?" muttered Frey anxiously.

Suddenly a man with black hair and a burly posture approached Frey.

"Yes, Frey!" greet the Man.

The man was Ron, a top-ranked adventurer who had the title equivalent to Frey. The two of them are close friends since Ron married Frey's best friend, Elise.

"The news is we're both fine, what about you? I heard Chris proposed to you yesterday and you refused, hahaha" said Ron.

"My news is fine too. And yes, I already had a partner, so I turned it down" Frey replied.

"I was surprised to hear you actually fell in love with a man. The Ice Queen of the Adventurers Association had turned out to be liquid. Hahaha," said Ron laughing loudly.

"You're all there, Ron. I'm always warm" Frey replied.

The nickname of the Ice Queen is indeed attached to the name Frey. The nickname was given to him because he was always cold when socializing with other adventurers, not because of his nature, but he was very focused on immediately freeing his parents first. Her happiness was always put aside for the sake of getting a ransom.

"warm? Haha. I also heard that your parents are free, I'm happy for you, too" Ron said.

"Yes, they're both free. Come on, I'll introduce you to both of them" Frey took with her as she pulled Ron's hand.

Ron followed Frey into his house. Without the two of them noticing, a man was observing the two of them from earlier.

"Ahaha, is that Chris? Ahaha, he took Chris to see his parents. Ahaha." That man is Daru. Although he had great hearing, but because the place around Daru was very crowded, he could not hear a single conversation between the two of them.

Daru lowered his head as he walked towards the teleportation portal after seeing Frey and Ron enter the house. Daru did not want to eavesdrop on the conversation they had with both of Frey's parents because he was reluctant to add to the pain in his heart.

"Home sweet home, home sweet home," murmured Daru when he arrived at Sarren Hill.

After he rearranged his heart, Daru walked towards the Blue Star Restaurant to meet Lyd.

"Where is Miss Lyd?" asked Daru to one of the restaurant's waiters.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Daru, I'll call you" said the waiter.

"No, just tell him to open the bottom one" Daru said before going to Bar Bull's Horn.

The waiter of the restaurant understood Daru's intentions immediately, and he ran to Lyd's room to deliver Daru's message.

Meanwhile, Daru has entered into Bar Bull's Horn.

"Please call Mr. Klein," Daru asked one of the bar employees.

"Bottom or top, Mr Daru?" ask the employee.

"Bottom down," Daru answered briefly.

The employee gave the code to another employee to take Daru downstairs, while he called Klein.

Daru followed the employee who was in charge of driving him, although Daru knew the location of the door that led underground, he let the employee drive him.

Being given this kind of respect is not a bad thing, Daru thought.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, people dressed in all black and wearing masks immediately greeted Daru with a bow. They were the hitmen who belonged to the Black Minotaur group. Daru replied to their welcome by nodding lightly before sitting on one of the chairs.

A few moments later, Klein came. Klein found out about Daru's visit to the Blue Star Restaurant before coming here, so Klein went straight to the door that connected the dungeons of both sides and opened the lock.

Klein opened the door and found Lyd standing behind the door. Klein signals Lyd to go through the door. After that, Klein closed it back down.

The two of them walked up to Daru and sat in front of him.

"Good afternoon, Miss Lyd, Mr. Klein," Daru said.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Daru. What's the need?" ask Klein. Lyd, who was beside him just said his greeting while nodding.

"I need help from both of you organizations" Daru replied.

Lyd raised his eyebrows and asked, "Help to get rid of your competitors, Mr Daru?"

"Don't talk about it, I've let it go, hahaha," Daru said, pretending to be patient.

"Then, what help, Mr Daru?" ask Lyd again.

"I will be leaving Sarren Hill for a few months. I ask for help to the organization of the two of you to protect Sarren Hill" Daru replied.

Lyd and Klein were shocked after hearing Daru's words. Lyd asked, "Where are you going?"

"I will go to the entire kingdom in the Isla Continent and plant a teleportation portal in every capital."

Lyd and Klein nodded excitedly.

The more teleportation portals there are, the more customers that come, Klein thought.

"Miss Lyd, I want your organization to look for information on potentially problematic suspicious movements in Bukit Sarren. Hand the information over to Mr. Klein and let the Black Minotaur take care of it. However, do not kill immediately, warn first," added Daru.

Both of them nodded once more.

"For the fee, I won't take my share of the profits as long as I'm gone."

"Okay, Mr. Daru. There were thirty combat-ready members in the Black Minotaur at the moment. I make sure no one will dare to touch Sarren Hill" Klein said proudly.

"I will spread the members of the Third Eye to the entire Kingdom of Resia, I make sure there will be no information that escapes us" Lyd said.

"thank you. One more thing, if there is a dangerous situation going on at Sarren Hill, go into the basement of my shop, it is guaranteed to be safe as long as the door above it is closed. Then I'll go back to my shop. Possibly, tomorrow I will start the journey" Daru said before leaving.

Klein and Lyd looked at each other for a moment.

"We must ensure the safety of Sarren Hill. If we fail, I'm afraid Mr. Daru will drive us out of Sarren Hill" Lyd said.

"Yes, you're right. I'll deploy more assassins. Make sure your information is accurate" Klein replied.

Lyd smiled and nodded before going towards the basement of his restaurant.

Daru arrived at his shop, when he stepped inside, Shera immediately ran and hugged him.

"Boss! I-i'm sorry! Huaaa," cried Shera as she cried.

"What's wrong?" ask Daru astonishment. Daru looked at the faces of his employees and realized their expressions were a little bad.

"It's all my fault! Punish me, Boss!" shera shouted continuously crying.

Daru then swept a glance towards the three customers who were lined up in line and gestured for them to come out.

The customers realized something was wrong and left without complaint.

"Tell me what happened" Daru said after the customers left.

Daru led Shera to sit in front of the counter.

"Boss, actually ...." Shera explained about her conversation with Frey earlier. He thinks that his advice has led Frey to choose Chris over Daru.

"Hahh .., so it seems. I saw Frey pulling a man's hand into his house. Perhaps the man is Chris, and Frey's goal is to talk about the date of their marriage with Frey's parents. Wellh, it is better to let go than to make someone tormented for doing the opposite of his heart," said Daru pretending to let go, whereas, I want to die, ahahaha, dying is better than seeing Frey having a family with another man, ahaha, he thought.

All the Daru employees who were there were drowned limply. Although Daru said so, but they knew Daru's heart was now completely broken.
