"Do you have any idea where she is?" Williams asked expectantly.
"She is at our headquarter" Alan release his hand and answered him.
"If I'm right, this camp is just a recruitment team and the headquarter is the real deal." Williams rubbed his imaginary moustache as he pointed out.
"Yeah, you're right. She is at the headquarter but we can't go their right now, it's not safe" Alan expression turned solemn as he carried on, "We are currently scouting for warriors right now, we need all the firepower we can get".
"If I remembered correctly, you said that the reason why this camp kept growing day by day was because the queen did something" Williams flashed back to what Alan said minutes ago.
"Oh yeah. I was about to say that our queen made an important contribution to the war by wiping out 500,000 zombies along with hunter zombies and horde leaders alone, she did so in a single day." Alan replied proudly and then proceeded, "The reason why we are currently scouting for warriors is to protect the headquarter. The queen got backstabbed in her weakened state."
"Who did it?" Williams inquired as he tried to conceal his murderous intent.
Although Williams tried to conceal his murderous intent, it still leaked out.
Alan gaze on Williams soften when he felt his murderous intent 'it seems this young man also cares for their queen' he thought.
"We don't know, only the queen knows and she insist on giving an answer." He pulled a long face then went on talking, "It's been 4 weeks now that she has been wounded, we have tried everything possible but nothing seems to work. We have secretly looked for the best healer but it was all futile, nothing could be done to cure the poison".
Williams eyes lit up under the sun ray 'Poison, I can heal her. She still have a chance' he thought as he was ready to move out.
Once again, Alan grabbed him, "What I just told you is a secret, we wouldn't want it to spread but the people are starting to get suspicious as they had not seen their queen for quite some time now."
Turning his head, Williams set his hand across his heart, "I cross my heart and hope to die".
He walked back to the small house he woke up from. As he still wanted to clear some doubt, he looked forward to meeting Ruby again.
Opening the door, Williams called her but he got no response.
Hmm... Strange
He checked the bathroom but she wasn't there.
Eh!
He was baffled when he entered the bathroom, because except for a bucket of water, there wasn't anything else there.
He could still remember the bathtub and what he had mistakenly done.
He ran back to the bedroom but this time he opened his eyes wide and remained vigilant.
"That's certainly not the bed I remembered" he made note of the every changes in the room.
Squeak
The door opened and a young man entered with a some clean clothes in his hands. After locking the door, he turned around, ready to change Williams cloths.
Thud
He dropped the clothes in shock as he saw Williams standing next to the bed.
"Who are you?" Williams asked warily.
"My greetings, I have been treating you for the past seven months as per the queen's order". The young man bowed his head and was about to continue when suddenly, a withered hand came from the shadow and slit open his throat.
Williams eyes widened from shock as he didn't sense the presence of the mage at all.
A haggard old woman in a black robe came out from the shadows with an eerie smile on her face, "I bet you enjoy the little time you had with Rudy didn't you?"
Her voice sounded like three but one, a word from her kept echoing around the room two seconds each.
"You are a bewitcher. So Ruby isn't real and so was us having sex".
Thud
He fell on his knees as he couldn't contain his happiness anymore, "Hahaha!!! I'm still a virgin"
He laughed in relieve till his stomach was hurting him. He had always wanted to lose his virginity to someone he loves and willing to die for.
"Hey brat I'm still here you know!" The old haggard voice sounded annoyed as Williams wasn't putting her in his eyes, "Listen Nova, whatever you do Bella mustn't die, she is the only one that can save you from her".
"Hmm" he wanted to ask another question but before he realizes it, she was gone.
"How does she knows about Nova.... Whatever, Bella's survivor is my main priority right now"
He knelt before the slain young man, putting his hands together. He chanted what he named the sacred holy Willy chapter 101.
'You have been killed unjustly'
'Slain like a goat'
'May your soul be save by the nine heavens'
'That you may enjoy eternal life, playing with beautiful women, getting fat and rich'
'Amen'
He stood up and prepared to take of, "I should get rid of the body" he stored the body in his ring for now and cleaned the blood on the floor before walking out.
"Sigh, a long journey awaits me."
