Alice was tired so she slept after finishing her dinner, Zeno had no choice but to carry her with himself to the inn.
He placed her in the bed and then quickly applied washed up and sprayed some deodorant.
"Good." He stretched out his fingers and then looked at Alice.
"Alice... I will be back in a few hours, I have some business to take care of." He gently patted her and kissed her on the forehead.
She yawned while sleeping and turned her face away from Zeno.
"Haha, what a cutie." He took a deep breath and jumped from his window.
"Shadow Teleportation!"
He disappeared in thin air and teleported at some distance.
"Haha, at the night time I can become invisible... These shadows really help a lot." Zeno was actually teleporting between shadows but it was dark so his movements were too fast as if he was invisible.
Soon he noticed a group of merchants entering a large palace.
"Okie then... This is very risky..." He took a deep breath and jumped inside the merchant's shadow.
'Haha, everything is soo easy for a shadow master at night.' Zeno became their shadow and followed them, soon they all entered a large hall where Diana sat on her throne.
She looked just perfect, with a throne a crown and a pretty dress a perfect queen indeed.
"Queen Diana, we are the merchants from the seas. We are here to offer you our precious pearls."
He took out a box of pearls and placed it in front of them.
"Hmm... Bring them here." Diana snapped her fingers and her servant rushed and took the box and placed it in front of her.
"Ma'am... These pearls were made by the monster molluscs, they possess special mana which created these pearls special, they can also be used as weapons if in the hands of a master." The merchant explained to her about his pearls.
"Hmm... Impressive that they possess mana... That's great... I would like to buy some... But can you wait until tomorrow?" She placed it back and saw at the merchant.
He had a big smile on his face, and Zeno knew what was going on.
"Thank you, queen, when should I come here for the trade?" He asked with a smile still lingering on his face.
"Tomorrow, morning... Now you can go." She got up and everyone present over there bent down to respect her.
Zeno quickly teleported to Diana's shadow.
She felt someone saying to her the moment he jumped inside her shadow.
"Maria... I feel some eyes on me... Take care of them..." She whispered it into her army commander's ear.
"Ok, ma'am..." She took a deep breath and continued in a loud tone.
"Everyone! Stay on your toes." All the guards even the one who was slacking just a moment ago them became attentive.
Diana walked inside her room and sighed.
She slowly took off her shoes and then her crown and other accessories.
"This feeling... It makes any skin crawl..." She removed her queen outfit and got into her lingering.
Zeno had teleported to the corner of her room and told her there silently invisible in the shadow, but hiding mana is not easy.
"Ok then... Maybe I should..." She opened her cupboard and began going through some of her stuff.
Zeno was curious about what she is doing, so he didn't use his telekinesis.
"Now... Get out!" She threw a deadly heavenly ranked needle to the corner where Zeno stood, but he just teleported behind her, and she threw another one without wasting a second almost piercing Zeno.
She took out another pair of needles and played with them, "Come out or the next one is gonna be in your heart."
"Haha... I expected no less from you..." Zeno decided to end their small game of hide and seek.
"Zeno... Is that you???" She quickly hid inside her blanket covering herself.
"Hey! Why are you hiding? Come out... You are ok if it is someone else seeing you like this... But not ok if it is me??" He found her pretty flushed so he decided to play with her.
"Shut up! I... I can't shoe myself like this to you!" She grabbed her blanket more firmly.
"Huh... I have already seen you like that... So it is kinda useless to hide now... Why were you waiting before attacking? You were enjoying being stalked? Haha, a pervy queen." Zeno grinned as he saw her get reader and reader with embarrassment.
"Why are you here..." She asked in a very shy voice.
Zeno walked ahead and sat beside her, "Won't be talking until you take that blanket off."
"What!?"
"Take off the blanket or I will leave..." Zeno stops Il and began heading toward her window.
"Huh, you think I will stop you?" She turned her face away from him.
A smile appeared on his face, "Ok then." He walked to the balcony and jumped on the railing, "See ya, Diana." Zeno jumped down from the railing without even looking behind.
"Zeno you idiot wait!! Be here!" She rushed to the balcony just to find nothing below.
"Bhoo."
"Whaaaaaat!!!!" Diana's soul jumped out of her body when she found Zeno standing right beside her.
"Haha, you came out for me."
"Shut up!" She grabbed Zeno and pulled him inside.
"Better not repeat it again or I will peal you with a vegetable peeler!"
Zeno found it really funny when he found her getting angry.
"So... Tell me what brings a great person like you here??? You destroyed a stadium and harmed our university kids, and stole our secret stuff, I can make you under arrest right here right now."
"Haha, redheaded queen take it easy, am here to return you someone who belongs with you." Small Millieous slithered through his sleeves.
"That is... That big thing! How did it become soo small and cute??"
"Haha, it can shrink, well Millieous give her that beast back."
Millieous slowly opened its mouth and began removing the Soul Reaper from inside of it.
"Draken!!! You were here????"
