[but still, what is she doing mingling with these fools]
Suspicion arises, Alden stilled himself to find out. And as such he spoke.
~ So ~ his voice echoed throughout the tavern.
~Are you also conspiring to kill a noble? ~ Alden spoke to hooded 4.
Surprised by the Humanoid shadow ignored the other three and spoke to her. Princess Mabel was taken back.
[Does he know that I'm much stronger than the other three]
[Is that why that creature is targeting me now?]
[Good].
"HMPH, why would I sully my hands to try and kill a cripple" She spoke
~ Then. if you are not conspiring to kill, then for what purpose have you conjoined with those who are~ Alden spoke.
"I have no reason to response to you" she said arrogantly
"but" she continued
"If you want to know, how about we make a deal"
Surprise by her statement, Alden could not believe this woman's courage. But then again, it explained her cage gem.
[No wonder she's been so calm the entire time. She probably thinks that she can trap me with that Relic. plus, she has a short and long-distance teleportation magic]
[system, can you track her if she decided to teleport?}
{Answer to host. To track target, the system will have to use credit. Short distance 25 and long distance 100}
[damn, I can't let her use that long distance teleportation stone]
[What about interrupting her before she uses her long-distance Teleportation?] he enquired again.
{Answer to host. The system can interrupt targets use, 65 credits}
Pondering for a moment, then he thought
[alright be ready to interrupt her when she decided to use her long-distance teleport]
{affirmed command}.
[Spoiled brat, you already cost me 10 credits for that sonic spell and now this]
[you're going to pay] Resolved his thoughts, Alden spoke.
~A Deal? ~
"Yes, a deal" She spoke and with her arm stretch. She pointed at shadow Mox and continued,
"I want to purchase that Shadow Beast"
Alden looks at her with his hallow eyes blinking twice and turned his head to where shadow Mox is resting and at her again.
~You want to purchase Mox?"
[Mox, is that the creature's species or name?] she thought.
[What kind of creature is it, such power. I must know]
"Yes, I would like to purchase the creature" her pointed arm lowered.
"I would offer a anything that you seek" she spoke and waited.
He fell silent again. Between Alden and princess Mabel exchange, the rest of the people in the tavern did not move or talk. More of a fact, they did not dare to. Frozen like a status, Lukas has already dropped his thin sword long before Shadow Mox bit Byron's head. Watt is sweating profusely. Gwen's hood is revelled, showing a worried face staring at Alden unblinkingly.
~hoo, anything~
"You do not believe me?" she spoke
he look at her without word.
Seeing Alden kept his silence, princess Mabel narrowed her eyes under her hood.
~Yes~ he answered.
Cheerfulness of his answer. Princess Mable become excited.
"it's understandable, I am just a passer-by nonetheless" She paused.
"But I have learned a lot during my stay in this city." She paused again
"In fact, if you let me purchase this creature named Mox, I can tell you who is behind the Duke Mason child called Alden and even more" She baited.
Alden fell silent and quickly shifted his gaze at the one who was most surprised by her claims and back at Princess Mabel.
Gwen. As soon as she heard what hooded 4 has said, she began to react suspiciously.
~AHAHAHAHAH~ frighten by his abrupt laughter, the three began to back away from Alden slowly except Princess Mabel.
Under her hood, Mabel frown at his actions.
Suddenly he stopped his evil laugh and playfully looked at her and spoke.
~At least it is known fact, the royal family have control over the nobles lives."
~Isn't it. Princess Mabel.~ Alden spoke.
