Chapter 304: Continuing From the Previous Night
Since it was too late in the night when we returned and told Princess Julia about what she wants to know, but unable to comprehend everything in one night, we stayed the night in the king"s chamber. And in the morning, we will have to tell Princess Julia more about everything.
With Blobbies to build a wall to separate which area will be for Celestine and which for the men, we slept in the king"s chamber. I had a lot of fun chatting with the old man the whole night. Mostly about medical knowledge that I learned in the future. Most of them are research from this kingdom, and some of them are actually in experiment at the moment, so it"s easy for him to understand what I"m talking about. And it"s fun to speak to someone who can understand.
Some of the old man"s children are actually doctors as well. But among them, there are some who are cult members. He will teach his children who are not cult members about what I told him.
Now, in the morning, after breakfast, Princess Julia returned to the king"s chamber to continue what we talked the previous night. Though there were several guests for the king, the old man refused them saying that he"s too lazy to do anything today. Those guests just gave up on meeting him.
…everyone is already used to his antics. Old man even told the servants to just bring his meals to his chamber saying he doesn"t want to leave the chamber at all today other than going to the toilet or take a bath.
Anyway, after Princess Julia entered the chamber, we continued from last night. Though this time, Spot is awake and floating around the chamber.
"A snake is flying!?"
That"s the same shocked expression from last night. I thought that since the most shocking part of the story is already discussed last night, I won"t see that expression again today. Seems like she can still get shocked again.
"h.e.l.lo! My name is Spot! Sorry for destroying your ships!" Spot said to Julia.
Since he was asleep the whole-time last night even before the birthday party, he hasn"t met Princess Julia yet. And he greeted the princess in the same way that he greeted the old man. He said it as if the princess is the one sending the ships.
"Nice to meet you, I"m Julia. But what"s that about ships? I never get on one before." Princess Julia said.
"Spot, those things were centuries ago. Human can"t live that long. Unless they are like Victoria or Sonia who became a monster." I said to Spot.
"Oh, right! That was so long ago! Anyway, nice to meet you!" Spot said.
"Wait, what was that about Victoria and the other person? I know that Victoria is a smart monster and you can communicate with her, but she was a human before?" Princess Julia said curiously.
"Hmm… I forgot to inform you that. But you… you are so curious about many things, but your mind can"t handle too much information. Do you think you can handle what I will tell you?" I said.
"…let"s talk about the most important thing first. So, there will be war? And in your timeline, although the King of Tatrama can hold off for a while in the war, we are still losing? No, maybe we are losing from the beginning since my kingdom might have already be taken over." Princess Julia said.
"That"s probably the case. Since both Arturo kingdom and Varadis kingdom has been taken over, we were losing. But now, I have changed the present a lot, hoping that we are able to defeat the cult this time." I said.
"Alright, I get it. Now, what about Victoria used to be a human?" Princess Julia asked.
"I will let Victoria told you about that. And I will call Sonia as well. Don"t attack any monsters here since they are our allies. Oh wait, I forgot to ask. Are you asking everything with the intention to join our cause in destroying the cult, or do you have other intention?" I asked.
"And you, why did you tell me everything without knowing my intention? What if I told you that I"m a cult member? A high ranking one who doesn"t have any explosive devices in my mouth? Isn"t that dangerous?" Princess Julia asked back.
"Well, you have a really funny shocked expression. And if I tell you why, you will make more of that expression. Are you sure you want me to say the reason why? Victoria hasn"t told you how she became a monster yet."
"…I can just say that it"s because you trusted me. That"s all I needed to know. Thanks for your trust. I will listen to Victoria first. If my mind still has some more capacity to understand complex situation, I will listen to it later." Princess Julia said.
Then, I called Sonia so Princess Julia can be convinced easily. If we have two monsters who used to be humans in the past and know each other as well in the past, she has no other choice but to believe our words.
I guess that"s it. I don"t have to tell her anything anymore. I"m too tired already. Just yesterday, I told the same things two and a half times. Once with Spot, by using a puppet shows. Then, with old man Henry. But talking with old man Henry was fun. Then, I only talked about half of it with Princess Julia last night. And another half this morning.
I"m already too lazy to tell about this story anymore! And there"s one more person that I have to tell! The king of Arturo kingdom! If he"s still alive…
I want to let other people to be the one telling the story, but I know that if I"m the one saying it, it will be more convincing. It"s thanks to my acting skill, and also the fact that I experienced it.
…alright, I doubt my own acting skill. But it"s still considered as a skill.
Next time, I will tell Albert to do it for me. In front of the King of Arturo kingdom, I will transport Albert with portal, and had him tell the truth to that king. Unlike old man Henry or Lynn, I don"t think that king will be easily convinced even with Celestine around. I don"t think he has met her before.
While thinking so, I have seen Princess Julia making that funny shocked expression several times. Can she continue hearing more?
"I think that"s enough. Let"s just get to the main point. Old man Henry is already agreed to help us destroying the cult. What about you? Not as the princess of this kingdom, but as an expert level mage. We are lacking in both manpower and strength. With you on our side, we can be stronger." I said.
"Yeah, that"s much simpler. Instead of a complex story, it"s much easier to understand like this. But why are you telling me so much?" Princess Julia asked.
"You have a funny shocked expression that I can"t get enough of. Isn"t that right, old man?" I asked old man Henry who is busy working on some papers in his desk.
"Yes. Among my children, she"s the one who is funniest to tease." Old man said that, then he returned to his works.
"Dad!"
"Let"s finish this quickly. There are still a lot of cult members roaming around in this city. Although there are no more of them in the palace, it"s better if the capital city of Varadis kingdom is safe. I want to get rid of them sooner." I said.
Hearing what I said, old man"s hand stopped from working and he looked at me.
"Roy, here"s a list of criminal organization hiding in the capital. Some of them are related to my children. I marked the one that is related with my children who are cult members. Can you get rid of them all?" Old man Henry handed me a paper with a list of people or organization, and their location. As I thought, it"s easy to talk with him since he knows what I wanted.
"I"ll try. What will you do with your children?" I asked.
"Punish them and interrogate them. Bring Keith back here. Before you leave."
I used portal to get Keith back from the bas.e.m.e.nt of my home in Ca.s.sau. His crotch area is wet from his pee. I guess a night is too long for him to hold it.
"Princess Julia, I don"t need to hear your answer. I know that you love this kingdom, so even if I don"t ask you to join us, you will help protecting this kingdom. Old man, I won"t sleep here anymore. I"ll just leave the city and entered through the gate like normal, and find an inn. I"ll come back here later to report."
With that, Celestine and I left the Royal Castle and entered back to the city through the gate. Of course, Victoria and Spot is with us. Spot is camouflaging himself and flew right next to me. No one can see him but me. It"s thanks to my Divine Vision. I can see things that can"t be seen.
"Is this necessary?" Celestine asked.
"The gatekeeper is a cult member. He will record whoever entered the gate. We"ll enter with disguise and told him that we"re brothers. I need you to disguise yourself as a man. Who knows if there are other cult members from your faction here?"
Even if there are none, just her breast size is too eye-catching. Even normal people would look at it.
