Chapter 142 – People in Motion

#142.

The day after the incident at the academy. Princess Arisha received a message from Rio Farios.

“Is that true?”

-Yes. It’s a bastard. Coud vise. We succeeded in finding his traces.-

“Where is it?”

-Festan is an entertainment city.-

“Nightlife city..”

If it was an entertainment city, there would of course be a lot of people, and there were frequent disappearances, so it was a place where the power of the shadows was strong.

Why didn’t I find out yet?

The doctrine of the Church of Destruction literally leads the world to destruction.

No one would accept such a thing as normal thinking. It’s probably brainwashing by injecting hints from a young age.

It could be said that it was the best place for the Church of Destruction to rise.

-That’s right. However, it is difficult to track. There’s a good chance you’ll miss the mark.-

“I know that. Let’s send more shadows.”

-Yes.-

─Tap

If additional shadows were dispatched, it would add to the neglect of the Empire by concentrating information on the Church of Destruction as much as possible, but it was inevitable.

Arisha, who immediately gave orders to the shadows, then sent a message to Eris.

-Princess? What are you doing?-

Eris’ voice was hard and cold, as if frozen.

Arisha let out a sigh inwardly in a chilly atmosphere where she wouldn’t allow anyone to be by her side and brought up her main topic.

“Eris. I found traces of Kud Vice.”

-…Really?-

“Yes. It is said to be located in a place called Pestan, an entertainment city. I’m chasing the trail right now, so if you wait a little longer…”

-I’m leaving right away.-

Eris instantly replaced the coldness in his voice with heat.

Arisha hurriedly stopped in a voice full of life and anger, as if it were in front of her eyes.

“Eris. Calm down! It is an empire. It’s out of our reach! If the lord there is a collaborator of the Church of Extinction, it is dangerous!”

– I know. Don’t worry too much. I’ll go with the Hughers.-

“But..”

Will that Lucas Frencia send her own daughter to such a dangerous land?

I wouldn’t worry if I went by myself, but that’s impossible. No matter how great the Church of Destruction is, it is far from being comparable to the Empire.

I don’t know what kind of power it may be hiding, but the empire is in immediate danger. You can’t empty your borders with such a risk.

– If you are a father, don’t worry. Because I can convince you.-

“Eris…”

-There is also a communicator, so don’t worry too much. Then I’ll hang up.”

─Tap

Eris simply talked about her own business and then cut off communication with him.

I wanted to contact her again, but it was clear that she wouldn’t listen to anything in her current state.

I wanted to accompany myself, but it was impossible. There was no way the king would allow such a thing.

“I need to send more shadows.”

At least if you do that, you won’t be attacked unexpectedly.

And the next day-

“Princess! It was a big deal. His Highness the King is calling!”
“Nurse? What is it?”
“You must go quickly! A messenger from the Empire has arrived!”

Arisha wondered if she was an unexpected messenger, but she quickly dressed up and headed to her throne room.

Profit-

As she reached the throne room, her knights opened the great gate, and soon the interior came into view.

The king was sitting on a splendid throne, and his ministers were lined up. Meanwhile, a man was on his knees, presumably an envoy of the Empire.

Arisha entered the audience room with a dignified, beautiful and confident appearance. She and she gracefully raised their salutation.

“Arisha Lianne sees His Highness the King.”
“Okay. Come and sit down.”

The king received Arisha’s greeting lightly but solemnly and pointed to the seat next to her.

The Queen was sitting there sending her soft smile. Arisha’s mother died, and she took the new queen, a chaste and caring woman.

Fortunately or unfortunately, after miscarrying her first child, she was declared infertile and never had children. Thanks to that, there was no problem with her succession to the throne.

As Arisha bowed her lightly and sat down next to her, the King opened her mouth.

“Tell me sometime. What happened in the Empire?”

The king looked quite uncomfortable.

This is because he had already requested cooperation from the Empire once in relation to the Church of Extinction, but had been rejected.

It could be said to be a common enemy, but the Empire rejected all proposals under the pretext that they had no reason to intervene.

But now that I’m a reaper, I can’t help but laugh.

The imperial side also politely opened their mouths, as if they were well aware of the matter.

“First of all, His Majesty expressed great regret for rejecting the last request for cooperation.”
“Okay, let’s get to the point.”

The envoy tried to make an excuse, but he refused, saying the king didn’t need anything like that.

The god of death, who flinched, wet his lips with his tongue and immediately started talking.

“Just yesterday. There was an incident in which the Church of Destruction terrorized Ileina Academy. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor is greatly angered by the Church of Destruction.”

Judging from the fact that it came a day after the incident, it seems that the teleport gate of the Mage Tower was used.

“Hoo.. Is that so? That’s an interesting story.”

The king raised his lips as if he was avenging the incident the other day, as if he was enjoying it even though it was a serious matter.

However, as expected, the personnel of the empire continued to speak without being shaken at all, as if he had the ability to come as an envoy.

“So His Majesty the Emperor is thinking about how to pursue cooperation only in matters related to the Church of Extinction.”
“Cooperation..”

It was funny how the opposite situation had turned out in just a year, but the king smiled and stroked his chin before nodding his head.

“You must be thinking in a positive way. Then let’s go.”
“Yes. It was an honor to meet you. Your Highness the King.”

The god of death stepped back as it was, and after a while his audience room was enveloped in silence.

“Yeah.. What do the ministers think? About cooperation with the Empire.”

Did he just hope that the king’s words would fall? The ministers began to give their opinions one by one.

It was quite divided, but there was one opinion.

“Okay. For now, he will not take his eyes off the Empire, but will go in the direction of cooperating only with the Church of Extinction. That would be the wisest decision.”
“That’s right. The damage done by the Church of Destruction is truly enormous, but considering the damage the Empire has done to the kingdom over a long period of time, it can be said to be new blood.”

Arisha bit her lip at her substitute’s words.

The death of Rai Frencia is not in their mind at all. But she wasn’t to herself.

More than all the damage the kingdom has suffered so far, the death of Rai Prencia is the most painful.

And it was the same for the other two.

‘I can’t stay still.’

Although the Empire and the Kingdom have promised cooperation, it is not certain that it will be properly implemented.

And to go in the direction of even a little help, she had no choice but to step out herself.

Arisha immediately stood up and asked for her voice.

“His Highness the King. I have something to tell you.”
“Hmm? Yeah… What can I say?”
“I will go as an envoy to the empire. We will determine if there is a suitable partner to cooperate with there.”

As the person in charge, she judged that if she stepped in, she would at least not be hindered if not helped.

And, as expected, her ministers rebelled against those words.

“No! Princess Arisha is the only heir to the throne. Something big is going to happen to her that there will be a problem with her body!”
“You’re right. The enthusiasm is great, but they are beasts!”

In Rihanna, the royal family, which has an absurd tradition of incestuous marriage, is very detested. They despise them as beasts driven mad by sexual desire.

But that’s what I say because I don’t know the empire properly.

‘It’s pitiful that you don’t even understand the other person properly.’

Arisha knew that that statement was nonsensical, for she had grasped all the information she could about the Empire that she was its greatest enemy.

The imperial family is not crazy about sexual desire, but about their own blood.

Of course, there may be beasts in horns mad with lust, but such a person is bound to be kicked out soon.

This is because those who have a weak mental power that cannot control such things are judged to be failures.

So Arisha would not have to go through such an unfortunate incident.

Thump!

‘Ugh..! Also..’

As she thought about the sexual affair, the memory of that day came naturally to Arisha’s mind.

A shameful thing that can be said to be a dark history in which a thick stick dug between the crotch and gave terrible pleasure.

Arisha still hasn’t completely escaped from that job.

I don’t really miss it. It’s just that the shock of her first experience burrowed deep into her subconscious.

Arisha, who suppressed the heat rising from her vagina for a moment, continued her words.

“There is no such thing. There’s no way the imperial family couldn’t figure out a single thing like that. And Rianne’s royal knights are not so easy.”

Arisha leaves for her empire and she can’t help but be accompanied by her escort. Of course, she would be accompanied by royal knights, and even the imperial family could not easily break through the guards.

There is also the power of Arisha’s body, and her words.

When it got to that point, her ministers began to shut their mouths one by one, as if there was no justification for stopping them.

And until then, the king, who had been silently watching Arisha’s battle with her ministers, thumped the armrest! He slammed down and caught his attention.

“Then, I will dispatch Princess Arisha as an envoy. So let’s end the meeting with this. Get ready quickly and be ready to leave within a week.”
“Yes. Your Highness the King.”

Arisha quickly responded, and the meeting ended with that.

And Arisha, who left her audience room and returned to her own abode, sighed.

“Haa.. If this is the case, going together is impossible.”

She wanted to head to the border with Eris, but unfortunately something else happened.

Either way was important, so Arisha had no choice but to choose one. And in the end, she chose the Empire, not Eris.

It wasn’t that he had abandoned Eris or anything. She doesn’t care anyway, because even if she herself goes along, she won’t be of much help.

Compared to that, going to the empire as an envoy was highly likely to act as a great favor later, if not immediately.

“Haaaaa… Young master. I’m having a hard time… Do I really have to pay this debt?”

Staring at her ceiling and repeating herself for nothing, Arisha laughed at her and called her maids to take her bath.

And the next day, Eris left for the border.

“Eris. In case of danger, be sure to back away. Even if you miss it now, there is a chance. Got it?”

– I know. Even if I kill him, if I get hurt, Rai will be sad.-

“Is it so. Then… I’ll communicate often. Please… Be safe.”

– The princess too. I hope things go well in the Empire.-

─Tap

Arisha had a hunch of something in her.

Confidence that something big will happen this time, and that it won’t be bad for them.

Arisha gave all of her information to Nia, and after a week of preparation, she set off for the empire.

And after a month, Arisha was able to set foot in the Imperial Capital.

***

Crack room.. Crack room..

A slender figure was wandering in her dark back alley.

That figure’s name is Hisha Lunatic.

After two months of hard travel from the Northern Cold Zone, Hisha finally set foot in her empire.

“I’ve been tracked…”

Stockings with threads all over the worn-out robe.

Although he was dressed like a poor wanderer by all appearances, there was a charm that attracted attention in a strange way. Perhaps it was because the curves of her body in that dress really drew her admiration.

And if such a beautiful woman appeared alone in her back alley, of course she wouldn’t be left alone.

“Hey. How about a drink with us?”

Three men who appeared to be bullies approached me.

After looking around the three for a moment, Hisha lifted her head, revealing green eyes through her hood.

The exposed face was not lacking to be called a perfect color, but the men who met eyes could not even express their appreciation for her beauty and hardened.

There was nothing in the eyes.
Not to mention agitation, there was no sense of crisis at all.
It was not a human gaze at all.
There was not even a hint of inspiration, like seeing a rolling stone on the side of the road.

“Can’t you hear us!?”

And for a moment, as if he didn’t want to admit that he was scared, a big man from the gang approached right in front of him, threatening him.

Hisha looked up for a moment, looked all around her, then held out her hand.

“Okay. Keep quiet and follow me!”

The big man grinned as he saw the pure white island corn stretching towards him. The rest seemed to think their threats were working and tried to surround Hisha by splitting into pieces.

But..

“Kasha.”

With a low voice, it became a body that could never laugh again.

Kishaaaaagh—!

Green light magic flashed from her right hand, and then a green cobra like magic appeared wrapping around her arm.

“Muh.. What..!”
“Shit!”
“Do, run away!”

It was belatedly that they realized that they had touched it wrong, so they backed away.

But there was no way Hisha would miss that.

Right away, the snake stretched its body like a spring, coiled around them all at once, and bound them tightly.

“I do not have time..”

Even with the thugs trembling in front of her and begging for her life, Hisha didn’t even look at her.

She just looks up at the sky and murmurs. While she was admiring the night sky for a moment, Hisha moved her steps past her guys.

─Whew…

And she let out a sigh of relief as if Hisha thought they were alive when she opened the distance by about 2m.

But don’t be careless.

“Clean up. Kasha.”

He died without leaving a handful of blood at the command of a low voice. Using a terrible deadly poison, it was erased from the world without a trace.

Hisha stroked the head of Kasha, who returned without her inspiration, then canceled her summons and hurriedly ran across her back alley.

“I can’t go this way… I have to turn around and go.”

Hisha muttered, remembering the geography of the empire she had entered into her head, then turned and hurried her steps.

Originally, I tried to go the shortest distance from the Empire to the Kingdom, but it became impossible as they pursued them.

Even within the Empire, their influence remained intact. Clearly, there are those who cooperate.

It’s already been a week since I haven’t been able to sleep because the assassins attack every day.

Although the degree of fatigue was enormous, Hisha was holding on with her formidable mental strength.

“But if we get out of here, we can rest for a day or so.”

It wasn’t all bad things though.

It was possible to analyze and use the unique arbitrariness used by the assassins of the Church of Destruction. That’s what I just used.

An intangible poison that does not stop at simply melting the body and leaves no trace at all.

The venom they used to erase their tracks, in turn, made it difficult to track down Hisha.

In addition to this, if you go to a crowded city, you will be able to completely avoid them.

“I’m still too weak…”

I went through the ceremony and achieved a tremendous rise, but it was difficult to take care of myself, let alone revenge.

That’s why you also need to find a helper. At least you need people to act as decoys.

“You have to become stronger…”

Hisha continued to crave power and headed for Pestan, an entertainment city with the largest floating population nearby.
