" I can't believe it's been a month since I left her already and I still feel like shit my daughter hates me now I'm barely holding it together but I thought it was the best call at the time it wasn't right for me to ask her to fight her own people for me at least this way she can move on right " I asked looking up at the sun coming in above me
Not hearing a response I looked to the side from the rock I was laying on and saw two bright white orbs staring at me intensely from the darkness that surrounded me the creature growled at me with a distorted sound I sighed " your probably right i did fuck up bad didn't i " the sunlight started to dim around me when everything went dark the monster tried to attack me but It had gone right through me
in the last month I have finally felt a connection to the veil because of that I can become like schrödinger's cat I both am and am not stuck between two words so I can't be hurt and I can decide if beings can see me or not it's pretty neat while the creature was confused I picked up a rock from the ground and threw it with a I had enhancing it with my lighting and star element
The rock flew through the air so fast it caught fire making it look like a little shooting star the creature turned around quickly trying to block with its big clawed hand but the rock tore through it like nothing before hitting the monsters face cutting it like butter it only stopped after hitting the stone wall embedding into and melting a bit of it
I walked over to the creature's lifeless body it looked like a giant human with it's skin pulled tight to the bone it was a bit gross it's hard to believe this thing caused so much problems I guess I can see why if I wasn't as strong as I am I barely saw it's attack shrugging I grabbed one of it's arms before teleporting to the adventurers guild
When I appeared in the hall no one really reacted to it they have gotten use to it by now but what did shock them was what I brought with me I went to the counter dragging the creature with me " I would like to clear my hunt" a woman in her who seemed to be about forty came to the counter she looked at the monster then me "are you sure it's dead this time" I scratched my chin having a flash back to when I brought in a opossum like creature that played dead until I brought it here
I brought out my pistol and shot it where I thought it's heart was " I'm pretty sure it's dead now if it wasn't before " I said with a smile the woman just shook her head
" monster hunt A rank night stalker worth 120,000 coin completed " she said before stamping a paper and giving it to me " thanks " I said before walking away to the other side of the hall where a bar/restaurant was
it kinda looked like the inside of a wild west tavern taking a sit on a stool I ordered one of the strongest drinks it was a strange green liquid that gave of a blue mist it was delicious plus it got you really drunk while I was drinking enjoying myself a couple guys came over making a ruckus " hey isn't that the new adventurer " the guys friend looked at me
" yeah I think it is his name is ghost he use to be married to the elven princess " the other man was shocked " no way he was the one married to that hot piece of ass that should be a crime "
At this point I was pissed it didn't help I was drunk too " right but look at him now looking like shit drunk at a bar I wonder what is daught-" the guy stopped talking because he felt a strong threat was near but he only saw me staring at him while getting up to walk over to them every step I take the gravity increased with a slight hum by the time I got in front of them they were on there knees " don't ever talk about my daughter and ex wife again or I'll take your tongues making sure they can't grow back " I said in a slight demonic voice
" GHOST " the bartender yelled at me snapping me out of my tunnel vision the gravity in the hall went back to normal so everyone can get up some furniture had cracks in them now clicking my tongue I walked back to the bar
while I was walking one of the guys brought out a flintlock to shot me but before he could shadow popped out behind him slamming into the man's back sending the man flying into the bottom of the bar I grabbed a bottle on the counter breaking it over his head knocking him out
I put a pouch of coin on the bar " for the drinks and sorry about the damages " I picked up my drink emptying the last of it quickly before i left the adventurers guild stepping outside I stumbled my way on the crystal roads built throughout a hollowed out mountain I was in the Dwarven kingdom's capital I came here after leaving Elise because I thought it was the best place for Emily and I to stay since all beings are allowed here and almost everything was built out of crystal
I eventually made it to the little mansion I bought after making enough money from monster and bounty hunts " welcome back my king " one of the goblin maids said to me after I entered the courtyard most of them found me after I left to take care of me and emily they also watch over the mansion like hawks it makes me feel it's safe to leave Emily alone " I'm no-ones king anymore " I say as I opened the doors and enter the maid shook her head " you will always be our king and savior even like this"
I made my way to the dining room to eat Emily was there but she ran away as soon as she noticed me I never thought having a child would be frustrating a maid brought out some food for me followed by a couple others after she put down the food she wrapped her arm's around my neck " it hurts us to see you like this let us be with you tonight so you can forget the pain "the maid said with the others nodding
I gently unwrapped her arm's " I appreciate it girls but you know I don't want that besides that's what the booze are for " quickly eating the food I got up and went to my room the maids watched this with sad faces not sure what to do to help other than be there for there savior the best they can
Closing the door I looked it before getting on the bed and closing my when I opened them again I saw the beautiful blue eyes I fell in love with but she wasn't looking at me she was looking at her father " sweetheart we know this has been hard on you but he isn't coming back and we are getting pressured from the human kingdom to marry you and the prince because of the duke's death the prince is our only option until we can get reinforcement from the beastmen are you willing to get married to him " Elise looked at him without any real emotion " I will do what I have too for the kingdom may I be excused "
The king sighed while nodding Elise got up and left I followed her she walked through the palace until getting to her room and laying down hugging her pillow it's times like this I wish she could feel my presence or something to make her feel better but it has to be this way so she can move on I watched over her until she fell asleep I walked over to her while she was sleeping and kissed her cheek of course she couldn't feel it I didn't care though " I'm sorry I hurt you so bad my love but you deserve someone better then me " after saying this I went to the dresser and got some clothes for her to start the day tomorrow when I was satisfied she would like what I picked I teleported back to my room Going to sleep myself
In the morning I woke up from hurried knocks
" my king someone has come from the adventurers guild to see you " getting up a bit groggy I opened the door following the maid to the living room a man in a suit was there he quickly stood up and held out his hand " it's nice to finally meet you ghost I have a urgent request for you"
