And with that ended lies, princess Mable had a look of satisfaction, Knowing the humanoid shadow would not be able to do a thing to her, she continued her taunt. She is aware of her behaviours throughout the moment her father gave her permission to speak. As the daughter of the kingdom and the most powerful men in the entire country. The old king, even knowing she is in a wrong would never punish her. Taking this opportunity and as well as the fact the Humanoid shadow had done to her and Sir Dandelion, Princess Mable held a deep grudge against him. A grudgeful amenity that cannot be extinguished easily
Even till now, she could still feel with her arms that was not long ago bite off by the creature, boar a trauma that can only result in eithers death. She held nothing but resentment toward the person that did that to her.
[After we leave, I will have to speak to father, this wretched place will not see the end of me]
[I will come well arm]
[we will see who would lose more than just an arm] determination filled her eyes that shun with venomous plot.
Alden who saw this had nothing to say but kept quiet, he saw the little sprinkle in her eyes. He snorted in his thought.
'hmmmm'
'I see'
'Then I would like to put this matter behind and processed to the next'.
The old king then turns towards the humanoid shadow
'Although I would like to know you. A dark element user'
'And I would like to request an answer from you'
'But I suppose that would not fit your character'
'But I would still pry'
The old king ended,
Riddled with thousand thoughts. Alden did not know what the king would say. Even till now, he regrated not acting sooner and attack the flying bird. leaving him enough time to kill the Grand mage and take the princess as hostage. Standing there close to this flying bird. Alden had been receiving alarm after alarm, both from his senses and from the system. Even while the king is speaking. Alden felt his entire form is being scanned, try to see who he is on the inside. But thanks to the system. Spending 150 credits. The old king can try all he wants. Alden felt even more unlucky.
[the old king seems persistent to no end] Alden thought
After all, someone who can take the form of a flying bird, and still be capable to heal an entire arm and make this much devastation around is no fool. A treasure like the humanoid shadow. able to cast without chants and summon creatures with a will of its own is all there is to glory. How can a king ruling for centuries not try and reel in this man.
[This old king]
[I must be careful how much I tell] Alden resolved.
'Why do you serve Mason'
~I do not serve Duke Mason Van farrow~
Princess Mable was taken back this statement. Flapping his wings slowly. The Old king waited for an explanation.
~I am merely paying my debt to the young lord. Your majesty~
~Executing those low life who dare to hinder his growth is rightfully justified. ~
The humanoid shadow spoke, bowing to the old and continue.
~Even a king such as your esteem self would know how much is considered a bottom line~
~But I suppose the young lord is too kind to act~
~No, too weak to be heard~
~And since the young lord cannot act against those Carcases~
~Then I will make it my sole mission to vanquish them all and whoever dare stand in his way~
~Be you peasant or King~
~ALL WILL CEASE TO EXIST~
*BOOOOOOMMMM* the grown shook, daring to collapse. Than an obscure malevolence of laughter started to echo, the once concentrated shrouded darkness that surrounded the humanoid shadow, now freeing a tentacle like web announcing its deep hidden hatred of Aura. In each web lays beast that resembles both shadow creatures and the unknown, thousands in tiny forms. hands, claws and laughter manifested the air. Fighting to free itself from the sheet like prison that binds it to the humanoid shadow form. All laughter of evil resonated and announcing to the world of their existence.
The humanoid shadow that once bowed to the old king, now standing with a straight back and black hallow eyes. Starring deep into the flying bird proclaiming king. Ready for anything to happen.
[There is a saying where I'm from]
[Gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you]
If one thought his original form was scary, this one is beyond that of evil itself.
Princess Mable eyes retracted with horror, she even backed away and left the Grand Mage to fall. Shivering from fright. The princess dares not to get close or speak.
[Byron is gone, Albert is gone,]
[There are still people that needs to be cleaned off inside Summer City]
Alden wasn't lying when he spoke those words. He does owe some sort of debt to the clinging soul beside him. His first aim since he transmigrated was and still to deal with those that made the deceased Alden cornered to suicide. his status que in the eyes of even his servant must be terrible right about now. To a degree of not being respected even though he is by blood. Who among all men with power would tolerate such a thing. Forget the princess and her father. It is those people that Alden will have to meet sooner or later. Just reading the deceased Alden's memory boiled his blood and made him loose his composure. Directed his anger at the king of the country vessel without an ounce of care.
