[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]
Third Person POV
Northern kingdoms.
...
...
The night proved to be long for the entire city of Cintra, as the western region was attacked by members of the royal guard, arresting criminals, even soldiers accused of corruption and bribery, who were escorted to the castle's prisons while their trials would be held the next day.
The northern region of the capital also descended into chaos once Mousesack's operation was exposed to everyone, with many nobles demanding to know what was happening. When they saw their peers being captured and taken away as criminals by Cintra's soldiers, they began to protest, but there was an explicit order from all the soldiers to take them into custody to the castle.
At the castle itself, Mousesack, Eist, and Madara emerged through a portal made in front of the entrance with the bodies of both the wizard and the young Rushford.
"This is horrible!" Eist complained, dizzy, the same could be said for Madara who shook his head, never wanting to go through a portal again.
"Well... we've arrived," Mousesack said, ignoring his nauseous companions and quickly approached the soldiers he spotted.
His gaze then returned to Madara. "We'll take care of everything from now on, boy. You can go rest," he said.
"Alright..." Madara responded, nodding, after all his job was done, and he went to his room as he passed by the guards and entered the castle, wanting to recover the chakra he had spent. He also received a message from the system and then wanted to analyze what he had as a reward after destroying that robot.
After passing through the castle, which was in a great uproar due to the situation happening in the city and how the queen herself issued an order for everyone to be attentive and prepared for any necessity that might arise.
Above the castle, Ciri, still confused in her room, was not allowed to leave her room and was quite upset, while she could only watch things from her window.
Madara locked himself in his room and took out the only Kunai he had kept after the fight against the robot, he opened the system and saw his notification.

"I had gained the shadow clone jutsu and the jutsu Sasuke used in the forest of death against Orochimaru... Isn't that the more powerful jutsu where the flames become a dragon when he fought Orochimaru..." Madara murmured thoughtfully.
His gaze returned to the new knowledge he had unlocked, Fuuinjutsu... "Interesting, if it's at the basic level, I might reach a higher level in the future and this will make my stay in this world much easier..." He thought, since fuuinjutsu was quite useful.
Reflecting on his gains, he thought that he had earned this point from the system... by defeating a powerful enemy and would receive rewards in this way, since none of the monsters he had killed had yielded a score. The system was still quite mysterious, and he had to figure out on his own what else would give points.
Setting that aside, he decided to rest, dreaming about the future and how he could further enhance his strength.
Meanwhile, the audience chamber was filled with Queen Calanthe, her husband, Mousesack, and several nobles arriving one by one, as they were seen in custody, with her judging them based on the evidence her druid had brought. Over the next few hours, the queen would not sleep until she had judged all those she had listed for the audience, after all, they were important nobles. She had to do it quickly, before their families could intervene.
She only finished at dawn, leaving the lesser nobles to be judged the next day, but everything went as planned, and with the evidence in the documents signed between the mage's transition with these nobles in the child trafficking for drug purchases, none of them had any way out.
"To think that Sir Charles was a spy..." Sir Varys had returned to the castle and learned about the situation of his former subordinate...
"I'm sorry about that, Lord Commander. But we find treason where we least expect it..." Eist spoke beside him.
They continued cleaning up the mess from that night and many didn't sleep. The next day, Madara's door was knocked on with Cirilla calling him with her taps. He opened his eyes, went to the door, and the girl quickly entered, with her cloak hidden.
"Tell me why you didn't tell me that you were going on such an important mission yesterday," she immediately shouted, as if demanding an answer.
"It was a secret operation, not even your grandmother told you, why would I, the mere servant, speak?" Madara spoke calmly, while Cirilla looked at him strangely. He was in a bit of a mood to tease this girl now, after all, he had resolved the issue and still received a great reward.
The princess crossed her arms, still dissatisfied with that. "Whatever, let's train," she requested, since she had nothing else to do.
"Alright," he said, then both left the room and went to the training pot. It was very likely that Eist wouldn't be there, since the hearings would still continue while the princess had disappeared from her room and escaped to train, but no one would prevent her from being on the training field once she arrived at the location.
Days had passed and a week later, the city still hadn't fully recovered from the turmoil and more problems began to arise.
On a specific day, a letter arrived via a raven, landing on the message tower while a servant brought the letter directly to Mousesack in his room, where he was always teaching two children.
He picked up the letter and read; it was a letter from a neighboring kingdom, someone who was having quite a few problems lately with Cintra, taking advantage of its weak political power at the moment. He opened the letter after the servant left and frowned as he read its contents.
"What is this, Uncle Mousesack?" Cirilla saw it and asked curiously while Madara didn't seem to care. Mousesack looked at the girl with curious eyes and didn't know what to answer, after all this letter spoke exactly about her, but Mousesack just looked at her and smiled.
"It's nothing I can't handle, little Ciri. But I will have to deal with it with your grandmother. You can continue studying, just don't break anything in my lab, please. Especially you, little one," he pointed to the girl and left the place.
He then took the letter to the queen, as it was a demand from those fools of that kingdom. Mousesack knew that Calanthe would never accept something like that, knowing the plans of those trying to conquer Cintra through a marriage, something that would make any ancestor of Calanthe spit in disgust.
Meanwhile, to the north, Geralt finally entered Temeria, crossing the border between the kingdoms. It was a lengthy journey; it would take weeks for him to reach Redania, where he might find out the whereabouts of Yennefer.
At least his journey wasn't so silent. Not that he didn't like that, but with Dandelion by his side, he chatted about everything and even sang during all the journeys, while Geralt kept saving him from tricky situations time and time again.
"Geralt, after Redania, where are we going?" the man demanded.
"I still don't know. I know I can seek information from some contacts there, but I'm sure Yennefer must be in Kovir."
"Kovir?! But that will take months!" He complained. "We'll have to go through three more countries to find your lover!"
Geralt was unfazed. "It'll take a year if you keep up this pace..." He murmured softly. But he didn't care much about that, he had always traveled and could make some money doing a job here and there during his travels, so he could endure at least a year traveling to find that woman before returning to Kaer Morhen.
As Geralt and Dandelion continued heading north, passing through the first kilometers of Temeria, in a place in the country of Cintra, in the eastern region, where there was a large city with a high castle, a noble was sitting in his main audience chair as he received a letter. This was Lord Paxter Rushford himself, and his heir and eldest son, Horace Rushford, beside him.
He picked up the letter and read it calmly with astonished eyes, as it brought news that his youngest son had died and had also been involved in a drug scheme and child trafficking with a mage in the capital, saying that the mage himself had killed him with magic, with the report confirming this by Mousesack at the castle.
He blinked his eyes, for as much as his son had been quite rebellious, he still loved him and yes, he would cover for him, no matter what he did.
"Julian is dead..." Lord Rushford said in a somber tone as his heir looked stunned at that.
"Julian died?!" He was immediately shocked by this, as he loved his brother, despite the younger staying in the capital to take care of the family business.
Lord Rushford sighed and looked at the messenger. "I want you to send letters to all our contacts in the capital. I want to know exactly what happened and who is responsible for this," he spoke with a serious tone. If his son was dead, he would at least avenge him and kill anyone who was responsible for it.
