"That lowly noble, she dare to refuse me. I'll make her pay for this kind of humiliation, I daresay!"
Here, we can see Prince France in his balcony talking to himself. When things came hard, he always find himself complaining here and sometimes he had his pleasure here.
But... Not today.
Cough...
Cough cough.
"A-A blood..."
"Was it poison!?"
Cough cough.
"Baste..."
Is his last word as his life came out from his mouth. Is what should happen, however, as if nothing of sort truly happened, Prince France stood up immediately then took a sip from the tea.
"What just happened?"
"Wait, my voice sounds different."
France touch his face aggressively as if confirming something.
"A-am I reincarnated... And with a Prince's body?!"
Laughs
"Isn't this amazing?! It just mean I can rule a real country! A real country with a stable development, unlike that trash one!"
If a certain person were happen to get a glimpse of this sight, they will sure think Prince France lost his sane after getting rejected by the daughter of D'etre.
"I see. I see. They have what they call magics. I see, I remember it being written on those novels that brat reads."
Once again, another hysterical laugh echoed at the back of the imperial palace.
*****
At the same time, at the House of D'etre, the whole family of three dine silently with an awkward atmosphere. It's been a day since the fight and no one had the courage to speak up, including her father.
The servant saw this as an opportunity to report to the head of the family.
"Suspected spies infiltrate the town, two of them have black hair. The man doesn't look strong, however, the girl have a strange aura."
Tack
"What did you say?"
"Lysia, it is not good to eavesdrop."
"I'm sorry father, but I am a bit curious about this. You said about a black haired man?"
"Yes, milady."
Lysia's eyes starts to tear up while looking at his father with eyes of plead.
"What is it, my daughter?"
"I want to meet this man, father. I need to."
"Why?"
"I'll tell you when we meet him."
*****
Earlier that day, when they were able to enter the town, they decided to find themselves a source of income so they can have a room to rest tonight.
"Where you can earn money, huh. Well I recommend the adventurer guild, but looking at your man, I don't think it suits him there."
"Thank you."
Not denying the man's statement, Ela simply thank the guy and leaves as they head towards where the guild is supposed to be.
"You should've at least deny his claim."
"And why should I? You do look weak. But that's why I should take care of you right?"
Certainly, he looks weak, but it does not made him happy even for a bit after hearing her reassuring words.
And so, they manage to arrive at their destination with Julius sulking around.
"Good day, advent-"
As soon as the receptionist saw the two unusual people, she soon change her demeanor as if expecting a visitor.
"Oh, my, a guest. How rare. Welcome to our humble guild. This is one of the adventurer guild branch that can be found in the country of Deus Empire. As you might have known, D'etre Town is popular among other territories and towns. So does its guild because of high rate of adventurer salary."
According to Julius, adventurer guilds are an organization built or created solely for adventurers.
They are a group of people that exterminate unneeded nuisance in their vicinity and in exchange they get paid hefty for it.
Coincidentally, the rules of this adventurer guild here is pretty similar to the ones he plays and read.
"Should we register?- What are you doing?!"
"Master, that snake is dangerous, don't get near that thing."
Arming herself up, Ela immediately draw the attention of the other people surrounding them. This made Julius panic as they were outnumbered and even if not, they don't want to attract any sort of attention.
"I-I'm sorry, it seems my partner is not feeling well. We'll be back when she calmed down."
Leaving with haste, the room was left with a silent and confused atmosphere.
"Why did you do that?"
"She's dangerous."
"What do you mean, you don't just aim a weapon towards another person unless they did something."
"But she did do something."
"What?"
"She killed many people."
"What? Where did that came from?"
Sigh
"Master, I thought you programmed me and at the same time connect our nuerolinks? So why do you think I can't read someone's mind?"
"What? Yes I did tell you we're connected. But..."
"Don't tell me, you forgot?"
"So, that's why?"
"Yes."
Sigh
"Okay, first let's go back and apologize for now. Then later, we can investigate, or just don't since it's not really our concern."
"But what if it threatens master's life?"
"Then we'll deal with her, okay? Just like back in the forest."
"Okay."
Hence, once again, they entered the guild.
"I'm sorry about earlier, she seem to be jealous because of your beauty. You might steal me from her."
"Oh my, you flatter me. Don't worry, little lady, I only like strong people."
Ela glared at the smirking lady after hearing her remark. This made her instinct once again activated and the protection of Julius became her priority.
"I dare you do something to him, and I'll be sure that your entire race will be obliterated."
Upon hearing her threat, the receptionist's expression suddenly turn grim making Ela's statement hit the eye.
"Y-you. What do you mean by that?"
"Just like what I said. I'll destroy your entire race if you touch my Master."
Noticing the serious threat, the receptionist starts to shiver as if the threats were not hollow.
'How can it be? Such a small pry without even a hint of magic can make me sweat?' she thought as she tries to stay her smile like usual.
"Don't worry, just like I said, I only like strong people."
"Good. Th-"
"How do we register?"
Julius, before making the situation worse interrupted the two and change the topic.
The receptionist was quite confused with the current situation and simply answer them with gentle expression.
"You will have to sign up to our form first, shortly after, you will receive a plate according to your rank which will cost you around two copper each."
"Okay, how much can these be if we sell it to you?"
Ever since the moment they enter, a foul smell have started to spread inside the room. Because of this, curiosity grew inside the receptionist mind and can't help but feel uneasiness.
"That's a Peralta!"
One of the adventurer shout as the head of a seemingly chimera was revealed.
"That's an B-class beast, how did you get that?"
The receptionist once again shiver after finding out that her pet, or rather, former pet was now devoid of life and being carried by what she considered as small pry.
"Killed it."
"Impossible."
"How much is it?"
Ela's impatience grew as the receptionist questions seems endless, because of that, she smacked the head of the chimera in front of her and asked once more.
"How much is it?"
"O-one gold coins."
Ela, with a satisfied expression back down as Julius move forward to get the money.
"Can we sell it here?"
"Yes."
The receptionist can't seem to fathom her current situation. Because of that she was unable to keep her posture and soon fell from her usual, or rather, unusual behaviour.
"Miranda, you seem to have gotten cold sweat. What is it, you getting scared by a little brat?"
Laughs
A loud laughter soon echoed inside the room as almost all of the adventures that rest inside were able to hear his joke.
However, as if hitting the nail, Miranda laugh nervously.
"Can we get the money?"
"Y-yes."
Miranda hands over the gold coins as she retrieve the head of her pets. Knowing this, she probably will stay low for a while.
"Thank you. Now can we sign up the form?"
"Yes."
