The meeting ended with anyone left speechless and with a terrified look, including the king who I find arrogant.
Now I'm walking down the hallway headed to my room while being guided by Miss Myka. She's currently walking straight as if I am not here, she's probably thinking deeply about the words that I said before.
It truly is terrifying that such power is possible in this vast universe, however, I won't tell them that the possibility of it getting worse is high. I'm just gonna kept it for myself until she recover or rather I won't tell even if she ask to.
"Hey."
Just as I was about to think about my plans from now on, her voice resound from the hallway.
I look at her and she have an uneasy looking expression covering her entire face. She was worried about what I said.
"I think you can defeat the demon lord with the weapons you can build."
Or not...
She's thinking of finding a way to defeat the enemy, huh. But why?
"Oh... I won't say anything about it since we already left the room, but... You're quite special so I will say it. I hope this word will remain between us. Is that possible?"
"Of course! You can count on me!"
"Just like I said before, I can use it when it's necessary. Any of it, even the ones you saw with the mushroom cloud. However, I doubt it will happen. A demon lord in my mind is nothing but a king who rules another species who wants to conquer your human nations. "
"Yes... But!"
"In our world, it's called politics. The other side wants power over the region so he use force by dominating others, in this world, I find it the same, it's just that your world has different races. I won't use such weapon with politics involve. Unless we're really desperate then we can kill hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives."
"I-Is that so?..."
Myka's face look a bit down since I rejected her suggestion, so I tried to reason with her.
"'With great power comes with great responsibility.' A renowned person told us. Those millions of lives to die only for the sake of defeating that demon lord is nothing but a selfish desire that will cause annihilation. Lives are not something you can just chant like you did earlier. Killing them means shouldering the lives of those who died, and what would you do when you face your God? Tell them that you killed an entire race just to destroy the reign of another warlord?"
"N-no."
She stutter, did I say too much?
"Anyways, war in your world are still fought using stick and stones. Introducing a weapon far more advance will change your world's order. And I tell you, it won't be a good one. I can introduce a few primitive weapons used for better results, but those I told before will remain inside me as long as I said so.
Oh don't even start thinking about torturing an information out of me, I'm already telling you, I have the power to think of certain things amidst of such situation. Killing myself right at that moment will be inevitable."
"I see... Well, thanks for warning me, mister Fred."
"My full name is Friedrich Gutenberg, but you can call however you want."
"Yes, anyways, your room is here. If you want anything, the maid that will be guarding you outside of your door will serve you."
Myka's head is still down for the most part of walking down the hall. I don't quite have any idea why, but I find it alarming. Is she sulking?
Nevermind that, so much thing had happen today and I haven't had dinner yet so I might as well rest for a bit and eat my fill and sleep. I don't want any more troublesome events that I will find uncomfortable, I just wanna rest.
The maids bow respectfully as they open the double-door room which has a spacious inside, closets are wooden-based and the bed are large, windows everywhere and a balcony in the middle. A perfect room if I'm a person who likes to pleasure myself with nature(not sexually).
With that, I laid down the bed and rest my eyes for a bit and took a nap.
-----
Inside a dark room, I'm currently walking. There's no people in my sight but I can sense them being wary of me.
My name is Myka Brestia, daughter of Helen, a concubine of the Emperor of Brestia. I was treated badly the moment I came to realize my life, it was all alright, not until they killed my mother.
"You came, which means you have not been caught yet or you got an information worthy to be here. What is it?"
I look above the person who spoke, he's wearing a disgusting smile but a relieving one. He's the person who saved me from death and now I'm paying the price for it. And that is.
Information.
"Yes. The king had successfully summon 6 heroes."
"6? Thought it could only take 5, Aura must've decided the urgency. Any more?"
"Yes, one was irregular, a deviant."
"A deviant... What kind of power?"
"General Knowledge."
The moment I said it, the man laugh hysterically.
"General Knowledge? What kind of irregular is that?"
I hate his laugh, so I told him the exact detail of his power that includes his memory that will only make his power more powerful.
And yes, in front of him. I raise my hand midway and point at the middle of the man's sight. There, a square of light appear and a moving photo reveal itself.
Minutes, if not hours passed and the entire room is at silence. No one dared to speak even I, who already know this terrifying possession.
"Knowledge... What kind of knowledge is this."
With a serious face, I look at the man and answer his ridiculous question.
"Sir Lanze, the moving picture I showed is not a power, but a memory of the person who have the power. That's how dangerous that person is. However, his wisdom is far greater than any of this world's wisest person. I think he can help us.
He oppose the use of the weapon but will use it if necessary, he also bear great value of life to other people which hinders him from creating the weapons I just showed you."
The man scratch his bear while thinking of something. After that, he lower his head ans look down to me while making a serious expression unlike earlier.
"You think he can help us, by chance, is he willing to?"
That is a question I cannot answer with certainty, however, if I face the man and told him our goals, the possibility of my offer getting rejected is high. I have to be mindful too since I'm at the palace once we talk.
"To that question, I have no answer yet. But I will find out as soon as I got the chance!"
The man close his eyes before throwing away his curiosity of the man.
"We, too, are in urgent situation, a person who hesitate is not a person belonging to this organization. I am no saint, unlike the person you mention. Our future battles will be bloody, we need those who can dedicate their lives to this and not half-arsely decide to join because he think it was justifiable."
But he's more than that kind of person, though he's reasonable, he's a person who is selfish, a person who cannot be pursuade unless given with equal or greater value of his own decision.
He's a man with a steel of heart. A bloody scene is nothing compared to what he have to study just to gain that much wisdom. We need him.
But...
Pursuading him here will only waste time, I have to invite Fred while I have time.
