Chapter 23: Onwards To The Longinus Empire
Aleron, Darzax, and Riki arrived at the Duke's Palace after finishing their task at the Slave Trade alley. They successfully transported all Beastfolks to the Necropolis while leaving silently and leisurely. for new novels
As they walked towards the outer gate of the Duke's Palace, the guards stopped them. However, it wasn't for long.
"Let them in."
A middle-aged man arrived from inside in a few seconds and said, "They are guests invited by the Duke."
Aleron, Darzax, and Riki entered inside, following the middle-aged man into the palace.
'My lord. The people who came to investigate the capital yesterday are here in this palace,' Darzax informed Aleron.
'Our necropolis is gone, so they won't have to worry about it anymore,' Aleron replied.
'Haha, they must be in shock regarding that,' Riki chuckled.
The trio arrived in a luxurious hall with couches, sofas, and tables where some familiar faces were already present.
Princess Rias, Commander Knight Roxen, and three Bannerette Knights, Ragnar, Balu, and Tarao.
Aside from them, there was Duke Rahad and a beautiful red-haired busty woman with a mage's robe-Court Mage Lara of the neighboring Nexusia Kingdom.
"Please, sit," Duke Rahad politely said as he gestured to Aleron's group to sit on the empty sofa to the right.
Duke Rahad and Court Mage Lara were in front of them, and Rias and Roxen were on the sofa to their left while the three knights stood behind their sofa.
"Hmm, this situation is strange indeed," Aleron nodded before he wryly smiled, "But we don't have much information about this. I'm sorry."
"Please, no need to apologize," Duke Rahad lightly laughed. "Anyway, we shall not bother you about this topic anymore."
"If you ever come to Nexusia Kingdom for any business or anything, be sure to inform me," Court Mage Lara said with a smile as her big melons jiggled with her crossing her leg under the dress. "It would be my honor to provide any assistance possible."
'Crazy physique,' Aleron internally gulped and glanced away from there.
"Alright, Miss Lara. I've noted this," Aleron nodded with a smile.
"Since we have no more discussion to do regarding this, how about we go for a walk, Mr. Ale?" Rias said with a smile. "After having lunch, we can depart from the city and reach the Longinus Royal Capital by the night."
"Sounds good," Aleron's eyes shone as he smiled and grinned internally, 'I want to go on a Date... Gotta think of something to be alone with her.'
'Or I shouldn't do that and remain cordial first?'
'Gahh! Whatever. I will do what I feel like doing, which is going on a date with her! This city must have many fun places. Dax, Riki, you got it?'
"Actually, we don't need to do that anymore," Duke Rahad said with a laugh. "I've activated the teleport formation and got the message from Empire. Instead of wasting time, you can depart and reach there within seconds."
"Oh is it done?" Rias raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Then we can depart right away, Ale."
Aleron's lips twitched as he forced out a natural smile, "Sure."
'Boss, you'll get more chances later, haha,' Riki relayed with laughter.
Darzax wryly smiled.
'Tsk. Anyway, the Empire must be way better, so I can also go on a date there...' Aleron's mood changed swiftly as he looked forward to reaching the Empire.
