"Wake up, bastard. I didn't drop you that hard."
I am currently slapping the man who recently disguised as my fiancee, I need him to give me details regarding my fiancee's whereabouts. I need to make him speak and the torture will need to wait.
The man wake up with my slap and yawn, after that he inspect the surrounding only to find me grinning.
Yes, I'm grinning! I mean when you interrogate someone who you had grudge with and no one looking, won't you do something that would make you happy?! But no, no homo.
"I see you've waken up, you goddamn bastard. I'll be blunt, I will need every information I need so you need to give it to me, or else-"
"Or else what?!"
"Remember what I said before? I'll be certain about that but if you gave me a satisfying answer I won't kill you before you cry out of blood. How about it?"
The man quickly made a deciding expression and took him quite a while before speaking out.
I'm growing impatient here! My fiancée might be out cold!
"F-fine, but I want you to guarantee my life!"
"Of course, of course. That is before you cry out of blood." I smile wickedly and mutter the latter sentence so he can't hear.
"Well then, where's my fiancée?"
"In the palace's underground. She's currently being restrain by the servants."
"What about my sister? My personal maid?" Yes, I should give a little worry to my maid, she might become sad if I didn't give her attentions!
"I don't know, we didn't touch them." I made a sigh of relief as I heard his answer.
That's good, my sister's safe. She's safe, now, my fiancée is the only one being restrain.
"Why did they move the date of execution?"
"That's classified, bastard." The man laugh a little after hearing my absurd and blunt question.
However, I do not have time to play with his little scheme so I stab his left leg with the weapon he used to stab me.
The man scream loudly as I deepen the stab. Yes, yes! Feel the pain, feel it, that's what I felt when you stab me bastard, not just twice but thrice the pain I felt!
"D-damn you! This isn't part of our deal!" the man struggle to complain as the pain worsen.
"Oh, is it? I mean I just guarantee your life, so bringing you pain is still acceptable, right?"
After hearing my words, the man's expression darken as if he just realize something.
Yes, that's right! Despair, Kekeke!
"I-I'll tell you, I'll tell you so please, pull it out!"
What? Why does he want me to pull it out? Won't that worsen the pain though, and he might die from blood lost.
Well, whatever.
I pull out the knife weapon and blood pour out of his wound. I can see him making a scared face and smile as if looking a child who just tripped!
"Tell me."
"I-I didn't know much since the earl didn't told me about it, but I overheard them speaking about invading a country. And that's how they decided to erase those who can be a threat when they execute their plan."
I made a confusing face as I thought about it, invading country? Does that mean the king plans to expand his territory. Keke, that greedy man.
"When?"
"I-I don't know," The man said, however when I observe him, I see his eyes that can't remain still and he sweat furiously.
He's lying, no doubt.
And so, I aim the knife weapon to his other leg and threaten it to stab. However before I could do so, the man immediately beg.
"Alright, alright! I-I will tell! But I only heard this, so I can't be sure!"
"Go on,"I remove the knife from above his leg as I fix my position.
"T-two weeks from now, the Royal Army will match to the northern northeastern border, after that they will act as Join Military Training with the other lords and afterwards will invade the neighboring country. T-that's all I know, I-I promise."
I see, two weeks from now. That's a week after my wedding if things go as plan, however they didn't tell the Duchess nor me, that just mean that we won't be participating.
And there, I realize something. I smiled again as I just think about a plan to overtake the kingdom. Yes, that's right! Kekeke, but that can wait, I first need to save my fiancée!
"Alright, that's pretty satisfying, I won't let you die before you cry out of blood then. Be grateful." I mock the man because of his foolishness and stand up from my position and prepare to leave.
"If you think you can defy the Earl. You need to rethink again, Verian." As I left, the man left his last word and threaten me.
This man sounds familiar, and at the same time act familiar to me. I just realize it though, but nevermind that. I need to find my fiancée!
--
I think this is where the entrance for the underground should be.
I'm currently standing in front of a wooden double door. And as I guess, when I open it. It reveals a stair leading me down.
Consequently, I immediately head down while my magic fire is on. No lights can be seen from the hallway as I look around. Only a certain light light from a far can be seen, however it's too dim that I almost didn't notice it.
Then I guess she might be there.
And so, I immediately started moving towards the light. I am so care free as I walk, I'm also so careless that I forgot that this underground was called a dungeon!
Before even realizing it, I fell to a certain trap. Thankfully, it's not a killer one, it's just an arrow that move the same speed as the sound!
Yes, not fast at all!
"Damn, that's dangerous."
I made a careless move there, I forgot it entirely. I need to learn from it!
However, it's easier said that done. Multiply deadly trap were triggered as I carelessly step on any random ground and almost die! Fucking hell, who even put that many trap here, what you hiding here you bastard, some sort of treasure that far exceed even the kings'?!
After a few scratches and near-death experiences. I was able to cross the challenge and now currently in front of the door where the light was coming from. And yes, the light I saw was coming from a room inside a close door. Impress? You should be!
"Wooh! That's cakewalk so easy!"
I brag about surviving the trap however no one can hear me so I immediately ask myself if I'm crazy. Of course you won't answer me self! You just act base on your emotion and don't even think about it!
Enough! I should be focusing on saving my fiancée, I can't let myself be distracted!
Hence, I open the door. Contrary to my expectation, I look at the two sleeping butler lying on the ground. Wait, I think they're dead though? I look around again to find my fiancée however when I found her at the corner. She's sitting while holding both of her knees. She's not facing my way and can only heard the sobbing and a slight mutter coming from her.
"I-I did it again, I did it again!"
I did it again? What do you mean?
"Ela, I'm here." I immediately called her out to confirm its her. I can't let myself be fool again from the impostor!
After she heard me, my fiancée immediately turn around. My fiancée, my wife, my beloved. She's crying continuously while staring at me with a complex expression. I can't know if she's sad, mad, or worried. I just find it unusual from her beautiful face.
However, I set it aside and approach her to comfort my crying fiancée.
Thankfully, she didn't resist and so I can hug her as I pat her head while giving her a whisper.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm hear now, you don't need to worry."
I reassure her as I tighten the embrace and kiss her head to further enhance the comfort. Damn me, such a lady killer!
"I-I killed them, Verian. I killed my servants. W-what should I do?"
Oh, so that's what she's worried about, huh. That's adorable, I mean not exactly to society.
"It's fine, It's fine. You did it to protect yourself, right?"
"T-they were trying to chain me, Verian. And because of that, I accidently cast a spell and kill!"
Right right, so that's why there's crack on the walls. Well, it doesn't matter.
"Aye aye, my princess. It's just an accident so you don't need to worry about it. An accident is something no one's at fault, right?"
That's right, she didn't do anything wrong. She was merely defending herself.
"Y-yeah, thank you, Verian. If you didn't come, I-I don't know what would've happen."
I though about it for a while, however, it doesn't really that matter. She's safe, and that's all I need.
"It's okay. Now then, why don't we head back?"
"O-okay."
Good, now then. Let's head out!
