Chapter 107: Lying Is Necessary For The Pa.s.sword
"Tell us! Who are you and what do you know?!"
Candy said with hostility. And Ms. Wendy also looking at me.
Well, although we cooperate temporarily, they are still a secret agent of the king.
If someone they barely met figured out who they were, it"s obvious that they would be hostile.
And I keep escaping the questions by telling them I will answer their questions later.
"I have asked Wendy and she was also surprised for you to realize her true ident.i.ty. She never told anyone about it. And what do you know about these people and the cult he mentioned before?"
Candy pointed at Grant whose head already separated from his body.
"If I tell you, will you believe me? I thought I told you I will let someone else tell you."
"You did, but you need to tell us as well. We will decide if we can trust you or not."
"Alright then, I"ll tell you. But making you believe in this story is up to the guy you will meet later."
"I don"t think even if someone you appointed will not make us believe him easily." Candy sneered at my remark.
Then I replied with a sneer as well.
"Even if he"s the king of this country?"
"What?!"
"Just last week… now that I think about it, it has only been a week since I left the capital, huh? Anyway, last week, I killed your boss, Tim, right in front of the king himself after reporting his betrayal… and hidden desire."
"You did what?" It was Ms. Wendy who shouted out loud.
"I killed your boss, Tim, right in front of the king himself."
Even if I repeated my word again, it"s not like they will believe me.
Hearing something like the leader of the secret agency being killed right in front of the king is unbelievable.
"If you don"t believe me, there should be a news coming from the capital soon. It"s about a man called Ninja, which is me, is killing Tim because of personal vendetta. I did it in the king"s chamber. The security of the palace should be increased now because of what happened."
"Ninja?"
"My alter ego. I can"t sneak in the palace without a disguise, right? By the way, I also have another alter ego, which is Clarence the clown. Aren"t I amazing?"
"…so you"re a clown, huh?"
"You"re exactly right, Candy? Want some candies?"
"No. Just continue."
So Candy doesn"t like candy. That means more candies for me!
"I"ll take some candies then. And maybe you can get yourself dressed before you continue."
Angela took some candies from my clothes on the ground, and throw my clothes at me. She than shared it with Kayla and Sophie. She also offered it to Ms. Wendy but Ms. Wendy refused.
I put on my clothes as I tell Candy and Ms. Wendy about the cult.
"Such evil group existed? Impossible!"
"It is possible, Ms. Wendy. As a teacher and a secret agent yourself, you should have known that the things that was taught at school was never everything."
Then Candy interrupted.
"Don"t believe in him yet, Wendy! He could be telling lies!"
"That"s why I told you that I"ll let the king tells you! If it"s him, whether he said lies or truths, you will believe him easily because it"s part of your job."
"We"re not in a position to meet the king directly." Candy said.
"You have to meet him directly! Right now, the king is also trying to find more traitor in the kingdom and he needs someone he can trust! If he know that I send you two to him, he will have allies he can trust."
"…but how?" asked Ms. Wendy.
"Easy. I"ll draw you a hidden pa.s.sage through Tim"s room and you will arrive at the ceiling of the king"s chamber. Knock on the ceiling when he"s in the chamber to let him know you"re there. Once he noticed and asked who you are, tell him this pa.s.sword. "Ninja is not a clown". He will then know that you are someone that can be trusted"
"Ninja is a clown" is a lie that Albert need to hear.
When he hears it, he will know that it"s a lie because of his lie detector ability will activate once he hears it. That was why I told Candy and Ms. Wendy that I"m a clown.
Although we haven"t decided on any pa.s.sword, if Albert is as smart as I thought, he will then figure out that Ninja is actually a clown. Then he will realize that the trespa.s.ser is someone who actually knows Ninja"s ident.i.ty.
"Tell the king the pa.s.sword, only when he"s in his chamber. Although the queen and the king"s sister know about me as well, it need to be the king himself to hear the pa.s.sword."
"But why is the pa.s.sword is Ninja is not a clown? Aren"t you the Ninja and a clown?" Ms. Wendy asked curiously.
"It"s called a pa.s.sword because only he will understand it. Remember, "Ninja is not a clown"."
"Aren"t there many people in the court that the king can trust?" Candy asked.
People in the court, huh? Even though not all of them should be part of the cult, it"s still difficult to believe them.
Maybe some of them although doesn"t belong in the cult, they still did other crimes. And Albert, while looking for the traitors, finds about their wrongdoings. It will be difficult for him to trust them.
That"s why, if I deliver him two people I can trust, maybe his job will be easier.
I have read the plan made by Tim to make Ms. Wendy a criminal. In there, I also read Candy"s name included in the list.
If both of them are part of the cult, Tim wouldn"t made that plan.
And if Ms. Wendy and Candy are part of the cult, but doesn"t have explosive devices in their mouth, it means that both of them are of higher rank than Tim and Tim wouldn"t dare to put their name of the list.
If I"m wrong, I"ll endanger the whole country by letting them get close to Albert. It"s the risk of fighting against an organization that dare to go against the whole world.
Well, for now, let"s have these two help Albert.
"It"s just last week that I inform the king. Right now, he should be trying to figure out who the traitor is among the people in the palace. He needed someone he can trust so I ask you two to help him. Although I will meet him again soon."
"You"re going there? Why aren"t you the one helping him then?"
"Well, for one, the only reason I told him everything is so I can leave everything for him to take care of. If possible, I don"t want to do anything with the cult ever again. That"s why I don"t want to. I told him I will help from time to time, but to not expect me to always help him."
"…so you"re just lazy."
Candy shot a glare at me. But I ignored her.
"Now that I have told you everything, you two should prepare to go to the capital. For now, let"s go home first."
We sneaked into the city because the gate is closed. It"s no problem for us since we can just jump over the wall.
Well… it was me who jumped the wall and carrying the girls. It was nice to carry my target of admiration in my previous live, Ms. Wendy.
She was so tired she doesn"t want to use magic anymore, so I ended up having to jump over the wall back and forth to carry everyone.
We split up after we entered the city. Ms. Wendy and Candy is preparing to go to the capital as soon as possible.
I told them to not tell anyone yet about the cult. No one knows if there are someone among them who is part of the cult.
As for us, Kayla and Angela took Sophie to their apartment. Sophie said that she want to ask Angela her experience in breaking through along with Kayla.
And I"m in charge of Daniel and the others" protection.
They are fine in the guild, and no one tried to bother with them.
The guild receptionist told me that there are some drunk men trying to cause trouble in front of the guild. Not knowing if they are related to the attackers or not, the guild just ask some hunters to watch the drunk men.
As for Red Tail, there were no sign of it being trespa.s.sed. Seems like we"re safe. But I don"t know if we can stay safe if we stay in Melk. And this time, I won"t care about not graduating. So I told Daniel, Hannah, Penny, and Ruby to move tomorrow.
"We"ll move tomorrow? Isn"t that too soon?" Penny worried about moving too soon.
"If it"s for safety, then I understand. Knowing that this city isn"t safe, I think it will be better if we move to different city as soon as possible. Let"s do it for both Hannah and Daniel. I"ll give the key to this building to you in case you want to have a place to sleep whenever you"re here, Roy."
Ruby gave me the key to this building. But will I come back here again?
Penny finally agreed to move tomorrow after Ruby persuaded her. Meanwhile, Daniel and Hannah are both happy to be moving place.
And so, everyone preparing their stuffs to move to Ca.s.sau. And I became the owner of Red Tail. Although I don"t know if I will return here or not.
