CHAPTER 20 – PAYING VISIT AS A GUEST
Last night I tried to read both books but somehow there was someone who kept distracting me or should I say bugging me the entire night.
*Ahem
Let's not talk about that, What I want to say is there is something I found out about my race. A high Human, it's a race who are long disappeared and no one knows the exact reason, but the last High Human races were found during God of Death's reign.
Some say the last remaining high humans escaped to a different realm in other words they went to different worlds. If what I read is true, then it was also mentioned High Humans live longer than Elves.
If I'm also a High Human, then will I also live for that long? Why was I even classified as a High human when I came to this world?
Sigh… Anyway, there is also something written in the book suggested by Sakura.
The God of Death is someone who once connected two different worlds together but after his disappearance, the connection couldn't sustain for long. Gaia also gave up on govern over both worlds at the same time.
In other words, she is alternatively looking after both worlds.
And the time period between it must be…
"Where are you heading for?", Palace guards stopped me while I was about to enter.
In the middle of my train of thoughts, I forgot I was on my way to the imperial palace. Looks like I need to keep my thinking on small scale.
Anyway,
"I have something I need to discuss with the emperor. Deliver this message, Alvin is here for some tea talks."
"Do you think we are idiots? No one can talk to the emperor without a prior appointment. Go back kid, Bother someone else."
Guards have been changed. I don't remember seeing these faces last time when I forced my way inside. What should I do now?
Should I go back or find a way to get inside? Hmm….
"Hey, you there, let him in. He doesn't need an appointment, He is our guest.", A voice came from behind as I was thinking of a way inside the palace.
"P-Princess Alice… S-Sorry I didn't know that."
She is the princess? There is also a princess in this empire?
"Sorry for the inconvenience, these soldiers are recently hired after the last misunderstanding. This will not happen again.", Princess apologizes while bowing slightly.
Misunderstanding? They closed my breaking into the palace just like that.
Looks like it will be okay from now unless they do not drag us into nonsensical politics again.
"Umm… mind if I ask you why are you here again? Did anyone from here caused any problems for you?", Alice talks as she fidgets her hands.
Am I scaring a little girl now? Why do I feel like a bad character?
Huhhh.....
"I am just here to have a little talk with the emperor. Don't worry I am not here to cause another problem."
"Uhh..mm... I-I didn't mean it like that. I know my father caused problems for you and your friends last time. I'm also sorry for my father's action."
Looking at it now, I guess she already knows everything that happened last time. Was she looking at everything from somewhere?
Sigh…
"Look, even if I have greater prowess than the hero, it doesn't mean that the imperial family has the right to control us. It's my decision if I want to take parts into anything or just want to live like a normal person."
In other words, if I'm not causing any problems, they also don't have any right to control us.
A nation would always want to keep in control of strong soldiers. They will also reconsider every action if they have suspicions.
That's why avoid politics as much as you can and live a normal life. That's my way of living peacefully.
"I understand.", Alice speaks with her head down.
"Anyway, I don't even know the names of any imperial family members. It's weird not to know even after all of this."
"Oh, I-I'm Alice Carter. We are known as Carter family across the empire."
Carter Family? I see…
"Nice to meet you, I'm Alvin Gray."
"Oh, Lord Alvin!"
What the f –
Why did she add lord? What is going on???
mm…. I will just pretend I didn't hear that…. Nope, I hear nothing.
"Welcome again, I hope the house was up to your liking.", Emperor welcomes me while standing in front of his throne.
Is this what people ask first? I feel like this happened before.
"Ah, y-yes. Thanks for that Emperor Umm… I mean your majesty."
"Oh, sorry for our late introduction, I am Alfred Carter the emperor of this Dawn Empire. It's nice to meet you again adventurer Alvin Gray."
"Feeling is mutual, it's nice to meet you again your majesty."
I looked on the right side, someone is coming in this direction. Wait he is…
"Nick? What are you doing here?"
"Hello Alvin, We meet again. Let's me introduce myself again, I'm Nick Carter second prince of the empire. I hope you forgive me for hiding my identity."
What the… that was a bit unexpected.
As I was about to say something, Nick again speaks, "Sorry for the problems that occurs last time after the raid. I wasn't able to help you.", as he bows his head slightly.
I don't know if I should be angry or not but at least he apologized. I should let go of this matter now.
"Sigh… Let's forget about that, I don't think anyone wants to talk about it anymore."
"I guess you are right... well, why a sudden visit Alvin?"
"I need all previous records of the empire. I need to find an item."
"Say what? Do you mean every record of the past? Wait – wait, there are so many confidential files. We can't hand it over like this."
Ah… this dummy,
"As I said, I'm only here to search for an item and very It's important."
