Chapter 39 The Coup ?

After that match, some nobles tried to approach me and Emilia. Some offered money, positions, and others. But of course we rejected it.

Even among the royal forces there are also those who ask us to train them and we also refuse them. It's not because we don't like them, but because there are more important things to do.

The day after the match with the general. Emilia and I were in the room.

“Emilia, we can't keep staying here,” I said.

“I understand the meaning of master. If we continue here, we can't move right?”

“Iya. In addition, you can see for yourself what the nobles and soldiers have done to us. Therefore, today we will get out of the palace and stay at the inn.”

“Good. I'll join the master,” said Emilia.

Then Emilia and I went to see Charles and Charlote. We said about my and Emilia's talk. At first they refused, but after I explained the situation they agreed.

Then Charles and Charlote went to the king to tell him that we were leaving the palace. We waited in the room in the meantime.

A few moments later they both returned and said that the king had also agreed to it. After hearing that, Emilia and I tidied our things into Storage.

We were escorted by Charles and Charlote to the outside. They looked sad when we left.

“We can still meet. We only live outside the palace,” I said.

“Iya it is true, we will still be in this city,” continued Emilia.

“Alright,” says Charlote.

“Before you leave, did you know that Evan along with his group will arrive in the capital tomorrow?” ask Charles.

“Iya. They will also come along with several adventurers including one of them is our friend,” I replied.

“I heard they just drove Evan into the city. After that they split up,” explains Charlote.

“Really? Means we can meet with Laura without going to the master's palace,” said Emilia happily.

“Iya. We don't need to meet those nobles and soldiers,” I said.

Charles and Charlote looked pouted. It seems we spoke wrong.

“But we will occasionally come quietly to see you guys,” I said.

“That's right,” connect Emilia.

“Alright, see you later,” Charlote said as she waved.

Me and Emilia then went to look for lodging. We asked some people about affordable lodging for adventurers. Most of them recommend staying at Silver Cat.

Then you two looked for the inn, but before that we went to buy lunch. The city is so big that we have a hard time finding Silver Cat.

We asked some people directions to Silver Cat. After a while we finally found the place. The place was located a little far from the palace.

The place was large enough for an adventurer inn. Inside were many adventurers coming in. Emilia and I booked a room.

I asked Emilia if she wanted her own room or as usual and she replied as usual. Finally I ordered 1 room with 2 beds. The price for the room we booked was 20 copper nights.

After paying, we headed straight to the room. In the room we talked about our next plan but before that there were more important things we wanted to talk about.

“Iya. Something is strange. I heard that there are some opposition nobles who are gathering power and I think they are the ones who are asking us for help.”

“So you heard it too,” I said.

“Then what are our next plans master?” ask Emilia.

“For a while we keep an eye on first. There is also a possibility they persuaded Evan to join them.”

“So our enemy is now not only an army of demons, but also humans.”

Actually I don't want us to get involved in the political affairs of a country but since there is Charles and also Charlote, we inevitably have to get involved.

I also want to know the reason they gathered strength. What I'm worried about is that they're going to stage a coup against the king.

The next day, Emilia and I waited for Evan to arrive at the city gate. When we arrived, the general and some of his troops were already there. Emilia and I decided not to come any closer. We are looking for somewhere else to wait.

Not long after, they came. Aside from adventurers, they were also accompanied by several armies of elves. It must be to escort Teresa I thought.

The general and his troops greeted them and escorted them to the palace. Laura who was in the group chose not to come after seeing me and Emilia from a distance.

After parting ways with Evan and the others, Laura came over to us both. He seemed very happy when he met us. In addition, he was also sad because we were both wrong or rather had not happened.

We took Laura to a restaurant to eat. While eating, we told each other the events we experienced when we were apart.

Laura recounted that she experienced some mass at the time of departure. Teresa forbade Laura to come along on grounds to guard the city. But it was all just a diversion over Evan's previous defeat.

Laura can leave because she got a recommendation from Dave and also to meet me in the capital. Laura came not as Evan's bodyguard but as a person who went to the same place.

Me and Emilia then recounted our meeting with Charles and Charlote. Then who were they until the match with the general and the events after that.

Emilia and I did not tell the nobles' plans first because we were outside. After the meal we headed to Silver Cat.

When we wanted to book a room for Laura, they offered us a room with 3 beds. Emilia and Laura agreed with the room. Then I ordered the room.

Emilia and I went back to our room Thursday to pick up some stuff. After that we headed to our new room.

After we entered, Laura was already waiting for us.

“In addition there is any more information?” ask Laura.

“Where do you know?” ask Laura.

“When you picked me up you were hiding, besides our conversation was as if it was deliberately stopped,” replied Laura.

“Intense rating A,” I said.

“No…. It was just...,” said Laura shyly.

I then told him about the matter of the nobles who recruited us to join them. And I also told him about the possibility of a coup.

Laura understood what we said. He also knew that we were going to be dealing with Evan and his group again.

“Now what are our plans?” ask Laura.

“For now we just keep an eye on them first,” I replied.
