Chapter 874: Strange water monster

Chapter 874: Strange water monster



When we came back to the study, there was only the prime minister and me left in the room. After walking in, I sat down in the chair and just let my body slump down in the chair.

It was as if all the tension that had been in my body had been released and I felt like there was no energy left.

As I laid there, I couldn't help letting out a deep sigh.

The prime minister stood there on the side looking at me with a concerned look when he saw me acting this way. But after a moment of silence, he walked over with a sigh and patted me on the shoulder.

"You just did what you had to do." He said in a voice of comfort.

I gave a slight nod without saying a single thing in response.

There was a moment of silence that hung in the air before he patted me on the shoulder again and said, "Just take the rest of the day off. There's nothing important that you need to do anyway, so just take some time for yourself."

The way that he said this made it clear that he was worried about my mentality after what had happened in the prison.

After all, it wasn't just a single dark elf that I killed.

There were five couples that had been tortured during that time and all of them had been in the same state.

I was the one that had put them in that state, so I was the one that had given them mercy.

This was not something that normal people experienced, this wasn't even something that extraordinary people experienced.

This was certainly a one in a kind experience that was hard for most people to adjust from, so the prime minister knew that it would be best if he gave me some space.

However...I didn't want that.

I had already come to terms with what I did since I knew that this was what had to be done. Rather...if I were to stop now, the memories might actually make it harder for me.

In a sense, I needed work to distract me until it became numb enough for me to process properly.

After all, compared to before, this didn't seem like: was that important.

It seemed almost trivial since this was something that could be reported through the normal reports. There was no reason to barge in on a private meeting between the prime minister and the king like this.

It really seemed like the prime minister was set on punishing this shadow, but I said, "Wait, what is this about the Kleen River?"

Both the prime minister and the shadow looked at me with surprised looks.

I didn't care since this was something that I recognized.

The moment that I heard of the words Kleen River, I immediately thought of an event from the game.

As for why I immediately thought about it, it was because I had already been thinking about how to activate this event.

This was supposed to be an event that happened much later, which was why I was agonizing on how to activate it.

But now it seemed like it had already activated on its own.

This was one of the times where the plot of the game being moved up seemed to work in my favour.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, I said, "Tell me already."

The shadow snapped back out of his daze when he heard this and he said with a bow, "Your majesty, it's a report that there's this strange monster that has appeared on the banks of the Kleen River. It seems to be a monster that's able to control the water according to the local

residents."

The prime minister knitted his brows when he heard this.

It seemed that this might be connected to the increased monster activity, which was why the shadow had barged in like this.

But I had a wide smile on my face when I heard this.

It was indeed the event that I had been waiting for.
