King Irwins expression grew strained.

I swear upon the Radiant Goddess, that is not so.

House Larmuth was one of the Five Great Ducal Houses of the Empire.

Offending them would surely reduce King Irwins grand ambition to naught but a single nights dream.

Unwittingly supporting his kingdoms enemies could even turn his kingdom into a sea of fire.

They held that much power over him.

How about we find a replacement?

Unless you have another with talent to match that child, we could not satisfy His Majesty.

Damn. Weve already sent out pursuers, so give them a bit more time.

Just who in their right mind would dare kidnap a child marked by Larmuth? Or could House Liurel be pulling something here?

King Irwin bristled at that.

Now was not the time to lose Lady Maeve Liurel as well.

The kidnappers were mercenaries who earned the trust of the royal family and House of Liurel, then made unreasonable demands for compensation. When refused, they took the child.

Could they also know the childs identity?

They had earned such trust. Lady Liurels own testimony states so, and as a strict servant of the Goddess, she would not lie.

To commit such foolish acts! Then shall we give them three days?

Just three? Hmm.

Conflict and worry seemed to peak.

Javiers merchant instincts whispered now was precisely when he should step in.

If I may be so bold to make a brazen suggestion.

Bowing his head, he opened his mouth.

King Irwin II and the emissarys gazes turned to him.

King Irwin II nodded.

Speak. Now is not the time to worry about status or rank.

You said they took Young Miss barely five days ago. Then they surely havent left Belrond yet. With my subordinates we could definitely get her back, given a little clue.

.

King Irwin II looked to the four guards behind Javier.

Black armor. And while their shapes differed somewhat, as did each ones arms, they uniformly gave off an extraordinary air.

The one right behind Javier was even a cursed beast.

Doubtless a fallen tribe secretly worshiping darkness, but all the more reliable in skill for it.

I cannot refuse aid in such trying times.

Of course, this would not be unilateral aid. As you know, Im a vulgar man who puts a price on everything.

Naturally

This is a grave issue.

The emissary cut off King Irwin IIs words.

The kings expression crumpled as if hed bit into shit, but he did not call out the discourtesy of interrupting him.

While we do not doubt the Celestial Merchants capability, we cannot send only the subordinates Lord Javier commands.. If the child dies or returns in an unwholesome state, it will incur Your Highnesss indignation.

At one mans words, the guards chuckled softly.

Javier did the same.

The only one in this backwater town worth hiring would be TyrEns Saint, Maeve Liurel.

Naturally, the talented flocked to the empire.

So for some wandering mercenary to be vouched as a master swordsman by Maeve Liurel

It made no sense.

Surely it was just an instance of Liurel being modest.

There is one thing that bothers me.

A faint, breathy voice spoke up softly.

Javier smiled.

Go on then, Charlotte. Speak.

His gaze towards the beastly guard smoldered lasciviously.

A look that disgusted not only Charlotte, but all the guards. Yet none showed it openly.

We passed some men just before crossing the Agellan border. One had very memorable eyes. Gave me the feeling of a predator. Like myself.

The beastly warrior Charlotte flicked her red tongue as she spoke.

Captivated by her vile teasing, Javier replied.

So you mean to say those men are the kidnappers we seek?

Cant say for certain, but the timing matches. We have to grab them before they leave Belronde. I will give chase. Let Kyle watch my back. We can kill them along the way.

Hey, bitch. We know youre favored, but dont get greedy. Killing a master swordsman could let us into their ranks. Cant let you take that away so easily can we?

Another round of snickers.

Javier nodded.

No, Charlotte. You stay by my side. Ill send Kenneth and Kyle instead. Do you need subordinates?

The two who had mocked Charlotte, Kenneth and Kyle, exchanged smiles.

The smiles of seasoned killers who smelled blood.

Speed is life. No need to slow me down. Just make sure to pack mystic stones, dont want the horses giving out over some small fry. That would be a loss.

Pack extra. The plans changed so I will wrap up business here first and follow starting tomorrow. Dont forget to leave markers.

Kenneth and Kyle bumped each others forearms and turned away.

Well need to rough up the brat some more on the way back. Thatll raise the ransom for sure.

Javier murmured lazily as he too started walking.

Tch.

Charlotte clicked her tongue and resentfully watched the twos retreating backs before following after Javier.

Though it seemed unlikely

She secretly hoped Kenneth and Kyle would fail.

The mercenarys chilling gaze still lingered in her mind.

Killing someone with such eyes was the only time her predatory instincts as a beast were satisfied.
