Chereads / ELUNA: The Adventure of Rina and Garwyr / Chapter 21 - Intermission: Theo Ormer

Chapter 21 - Intermission: Theo Ormer

I am Theo Ormer. All I can say is that I am rich and nothing else.

Yes, 'nothing'. No matter how rich I get by doing business with slaves trafficking and dealing with illegal merchandise, I am nothing more than that.

I can try to bribe a government official and make me a noble, but with the kingdom trying to stop the circulation of illegal goods and victims from getting kidnapped, I play it safe and lay low for a while.

I am frustrated. I am above these plebeian and yet I have to stay down to avoid getting suspicions.

I am a ruler! I was made to be above these fools!

Before I could vent my frustration, a hooded figure suddenly appeared in my office.

"Huh?! Who are you?! Where's the guards!"

"Relax, relax. I'm here to offer you something."

He then handed a book. Feeling suspicious, I looked him with an angry look.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Just read it, and you'll understand."

He smiled. Since i already have the book, I read the content of the book, and I could believe what I just read.

"Is this all true?"

"Hahaha, of course. Everything about it is true."

"... How do I know that it is legit?"

"Hahaha, you can try it if you want."

He shrugged as he laughed.

The content of the book has so many details that it is impossible to say it's fake.

"... Why did you give it to me?"

"Well, I just want funding so I can create more of this book?"

"Then wouldn't everyone have access to this book?"

"I only give it to certain individuals that may 'need' them."

He said as he was implying that he knew my wish.

"... I'll try it out first."

"Go ahead."

I brought two slaves into my basement and then 'offered' them and to my surprise, it worked. I managed to call a being that can grant my wish, so I asked to pin my crimes to my rivals, but it said that the offering was not enough and disappeared.

Although my wish is not granted, I agreed to hooded figure deal and gave him funding.

He called himself Servaro.

And with that, everything went smoothly for me.

All the crimes I accumulated have been pinned to my rivals, All my businesses seem to be going smoothly with trouble, and I have gained more and more people to serve under me.

Hahaha! With this book, I will have my wish!

And that is to become a king. It won't be long now before It could happen.

My wish requires a large amount of 'offering' and a "special sacrifice."

This "special sacrifice" must be a beautiful young girl with promising potential.

I asked Servaro to help me look for them. He agreed in exchange for more funds, so I complied.

We searched everywhere but had no luck. So this time, we looked into the 'orphanages' that I owned, and sure enough, we found someone.

It was a red-haired orphan. I grinned as I looked at her, thinking that my wish would come true. So I decided to buy her and be transported back to my mansion in Silper.

Since I felt like everything was going my way, I celebrated by indulging myself with delicious food, wine, and slaves.

And then the carriage did not arrive. I ordered my servants to search every nook and crany for the missing orphan, but no luck.

Not only that, my secret place in Bronwell has been discovered, and the knights have found evidence of all the crimes I've done and are planning to arrest me.

SH*T, SH*T, SH*T!!!

How did this happen? I am supposed to become a king! A KING!! F*ck!

Where the hell is Servaro anyway?

Dammit!!

As i was planning to escape to another country, my door got forcibly opened, and knights began to pour into my office and arrest me.

"Theo Ormer, you are coming with us!"
