Chapter 612

Chapter 612: Yadan Kingdom

The spy has been captured. And now, I’ll wait for Albert’s report and wait until the messenger bird arrive to its destination. The small kingdom near Lynn’s territory. Whether the king of that country want to cooperate with us or he’s already under the influence of the cult, I guess we’ll see it later.

By the way, I have something to be depressed about. It’s the fact that the children have grown and none of them are sad that I’m leaving them. They even said that it’s fine for me to leave for years.

I feel happy that they have grown, but I feel sad that they have grown so much. I wonder if this is how a parent feel watching their children grow. A good parent. Not a parent that abandon their children like how they abandon these children I’m taking care of.

Heck, I don’t need to go as far as thinking about the children. Even my own parents disappeared. Well, I don’t care about them though. I don’t even remember them anymore.

Finally, when the troupe was about to left to the next city, the messenger bird stopped. Victoria felt that and informed me.

“Roy, the bird has stopped,” Victoria said.

“Okay. I’ll go get Albert and Lynn. Only those two will come. Probably Claudia and Mustache will come as well,” I said.

.....

The other kings, old man Henry and Fabio, told me that they will leave everything to Albert and Lynn. They are busy with the matter of their own country.

...They shouldn’t have visited the circus then if that’s really the case.

Anyway, they picked Lynn because the place where we thought the bird is going to was near Lynn’s territory. And that is correct. The direction the bird was flying to was indeed to Lynn’s territory. And Victoria also felt that the bird has stopped near there as well.

As for Albert, it was not only because he has the lie detection ability. It was also because when the four kingdoms decided to cooperate to fight against the cult, it was him who suggested it. He has experience in getting other people to join him. And talking to another king is easy for him.

I can just bring Angela with me to show the one reading the letter that we have the strongest mage in our rank. But rather than having her do something like that, I prefer her to continue her training. She’s cultivating at the moment and I don’t want to disturb her. She has been cultivating since yesterday. I hope she will become a master level mage soon.

I opened a portal to where Albert is, about to grab Albert and Mustache. But I see another person I need to bring as well. The female spy I caught.

“We’re taking her?” I asked.

“She’s the evidence that their kingdom is spying on us. We’ll see what they will do later,” Albert said.

The spy wasn’t even being tied. She is free to move. I guess the only reason she wasn’t trying to escape was because she knows it’s futile with Mustache here. She knows that her strength is nowhere near Mustache’s who has reached expert level.

But she’s more wary of me when I appeared. I guess she never expected me to suddenly appear and captured her right away. Must be a shocking experience.

I brought those three to Consenza and have a small chat with Lynn and Claudia before we left to our destination.

“Is it just us?” Lynn asked.

“Yes. If somehow that kingdom is related to the cult, they will treat us as enemy. It’s easier for me to protect fewer people,” I said.

“You think our Yadan Kingdom is with the cult? No! Even though we are just a small kingdom, we know a lot about what’s going on in other countries. Our defense is enough to stop the cult from infiltrating us!” the spy complained.

“I don’t think that’s the case. Look at this guy. Even the one whom he trusted to protect him from the shadow is related to the cult. We don’t know if your kingdom is related to the cult or not. And we will find out about it soon,” I said as I point my finger to Albert.

If not for me, Albert would never know that his life at risk at all time. And worse of all, that guy who was also Candy’s teacher also had a huge crush on Marie.

The spy was shocked that someone unexpected is actually members of the cult. But if she knows about what happened in Varadis and Arturo, she will be even more shocked.

“...if a kingdom as big as Tatrama could easily be infiltrated, then...” the spy hang her head down imagining of the worst situation.

“That’s what we’re about to find out. Roy, let’s go,” Albert said.

I nodded and opened a portal to the Blobby that Victoria placed on the letter. The one reading it didn’t even sense that we’re coming.

“Hufu... a transportation mean that allow them to travel long distance quickly? Interesting...”

We’re right in front of that person who is wearing a crown above his head. I guess he’s the king of this kingdom. What was it called again? Yadan Kingdom?

Alright. First impression is important. I need to make sure that he has good impression of us at least.

“Tada!”

And what comes out of my mouth is that obviously.

The one reading that letter then looked up and saw us in front of him. With the empress of Consenza and the king of Tatrama behind me.

“What!? Guards! Arrest them!” the king shouted.

King? More like... a pig? He’s fat and has terrible smell. Even more since I’m an Aura Master. How come someone smell this bad from his sweat?

“Arrest us? You didn’t even notice who we are?” Albert asked.

“Who cares!? Arrest them all!” the pig king said.

Now that I look carefully, I think we’re in the king’s bedroom. But there are guards here. All of them are women who looked at their own king with disgust.

Seriously? How come someone like this is a king? Maybe he has something very king-ly about that I don’t know. But I doubt that’s the case.

I don’t need to do anything to the guards because they are only advanced level mages at most. Some of them were even just intermediate level. Seems like the king only hire guards by their appearance since all of them are beautiful women. And Mustache took care of everyone easily. Even more when those guards are fighting us reluctantly.

More importantly, how come they can stand being next this pig king for so long? If it was me, I would have killed this pig king already.

Hmm? I see a group of men coming here. Seems like not everyone here is women. But those men are suspicious.

...As expected. Those me have explosive devices inside their mouth. This kingdom has fallen to the cult without them knowing if that’s the case.

“Your majesty! Are you okay!?” one of the men shouted as they enter the room.

“Arrest these people! Take the men to the dungeon and train the women!”

...is that what a king should say?

“...I think that’s it. I don’t need his cooperation. Let’s just conquer this kingdom,” Lynn said in which Claudia happily obliged.

“Do you need an army or not? I asked because I can take care of everything by myself,” I asked.

“We’ll do it by ourselves. We have prepared a troops around this kingdom. Taking over this kingdom won’t even take a day,” Claudia said before she called Sonia to inform her troop.

Seems like they are ready to take over this kingdom. But they took the long way.

“You know, we can just kill this pig king and claim the kingdom as yours right away. Wait, I will kill those men first because they are annoying,” I said.

Albert and Lynn were discussing something as Mustache and I killed the men.

“Do we just kill all the men?” Mustache asked.

“You can kill all the men in this castle except for the pig king. There are actually some women who have explosive devices as well. Since I’m the only one who can tell the differences between those who are member of the cult and those who are not, I’ll take that job,” I said.

I never thought that conquering a kingdom to be so easy. I guess that’s just how much stronger I am now.

After clearing the whole castle from those with explosive devices in their mouth, I returned back to the pig’s room and see the pig is begging Lynn to not attack the kingdom.

“It’s too late. I have made my decision. The troop should arrive in a few hours. All that is left is to decide how we should kill you,” Lynn said.

This is the first time I see Lynn being so decisive. She just asked the women in the room who gladly told her that they hated the pig king. Even the female spy hates the king. They love the kingdom, but they hate the pig king.

“Seems like this kingdom will be at peace if I kill you. I’ll keep you alive for now. Since I think there are many other people in this kingdom who hate you, you will be executed publicly. The citizens should be happy that way,” Lynn said.

Seems like there’s no more discussion. Only the execution of the pig king left. I will let Lynn do the rest. She’s actually so dependable here. Maybe I’ll get Celestine here as well so she can see her sister being a good empress.

“So... I don’t need to be here?” Albert asked.

“Ask Lynn. She’s the one in charge now,” I said.

Albert can only watch the events happening in front of him while I grabbed Celestine who was training with Kayla.

Well, I guess this matter is over. I don’t know why the pig king sent a spy to Cassau. I’ll let Albert interrogate him later. Which mean he is actually still needed here.

I guess I can’t make fun of him yet since he is still needed. What a shame.
