“Rio! The rio! Where are you?!”
The noise made by one of the soldiers made Damian unable to ignore it anymore.
With a fake expression, he approached the soldier and asked, “Master Jeffrey, what is it?”
“Oh, Mr. Damian. Sorry for the commotion I made.”
With a reticence directed at the deputy commander, the soldier who made a noise then bowed his head saluting Damian. Seen a happy look on his face about the deputy commander class Damian apparently able to remember well the name of an ordinary soldier like himself.
“No. It's nothing kok.”
Damian smiled as pleasantly as he could, though in his heart how he swore at the soldier's indecency in making noise in the morning.
“Thank you for understanding, Deputy Commander. It's just, the young man who was always with me suddenly never saw his nose again since yesterday.”
“They're having fun somewhere. Isn't it common for young soldiers when the atmosphere of the fort is at peace to have fun with the women in a bar?”
The soldier shook his head strongly.
“No, no, Rio is not such a child, Vice Commander. He is a typical serious kid and is not good at having fun. Just one day how much he praised the maid Yasmin and vowed to be her protector after getting healing from her.”
“Oh yes, if not mistaken yesterday he said he wanted to meet the maid to thank her for saving his life. I should probably ask him about the whereabouts of Rio.”
Damian shrewdly revealed his fake smile on the outside, but it appeared that he was not at all interested in the conversation.
He only made small talk before leaving the soldier and re-entering his private room.
Simultaneously, a bright red crystal was seen shining from within his room. Who would have guessed that it was some kind of communication tool.
Though the communication tools in that era have not developed where the most sophisticated today may only be as made by Helios alone by utilizing living armor material. Nevertheless, Damian has sophisticated communication tools, seeming incompatible with his time. No doubt, it was black magic.
“Hey you bastard! Why did you mess up all our plans?!”
Apparently behind the call is Vindycta Eros, the head of the sacred temple of Meglovia Kingdom.
“Heh, can a monk say something rude like that? What if your followers listen to it?”
“You, you bastard! Who do you think I am because of this, huh?!”
“I don't understand what you mean, Rahib.”
“Do not act stupid! You killed Prince Leon?! You are also the one who accused Prince Helios as the culprit?! I told you it's not time to touch the royal family! What if our plan gets messed up because of it! After all, we still need the figure of Prince Helios to provoke the movement of the Vlonhard Empire!”
Damian was just busy scraping his ears with his pinky tip seemed not at all interested in the complaints of the Vindycta Monk.
“You? You were?! You bastard!”
“Switch a little, why? In the end, we have to kill them both. What's wrong if the order is changed a little bit? Precisely it becomes your task as a thinker who plans his plan to think about the strategy change action that we should take.”
“You said as if it was easy!”
However, Damian immediately shifted the subject.
“By the way what about the capital investigator sent here to investigate the prince's case?”
“Huh, we have handled it well, thanks to the busyness of the palace at this time in the war against the Vlonhard Empire in the north. I've made sure that our people are the ones who were revealed in the investigation. We will also take advantage of this opportunity to make our pawns are again confined as toys so that our plans will again be smooth as before.”
“Huh, you son of a bitch!”
Damian no longer wants to wait for long babbles Vindycta then immediately turn off the communication tool.
“What? He turned off his communications equipment? That brat! But yes, at the end of the day everything is going in a better direction. Ozazil's men were ultimately unable to find any evidence of my existence. Either as Monk Vindycta or as Monk Ngezot.”
It was clearly the voice of the Monk Vindycta speaking. But for some reason, his voice grew heavier.
Vindycta's monk suddenly turned into a sinister figure. Apparently he was a demon disguised as a human.
“As an entity that has been trapped inside the tower for too long, that Ozazil has become an idiot. There is no better way to destroy mankind than to keep them from their god first. And for that, I have been desperately trying for over five hundred years to build a holy temple.”
***
A few days later, in accordance with what was conveyed by the Vindycta Monk, the investigators arrived in the city of Painfinn. However, what they did when they got there was to drag Prince Helios out of his room, march him around the city and throw him into the dungeon. They dragged the prince like they were dragging a dog.
It was an act of abuse that greatly ignored the status of Prince Helios as a royal family.
Of course this was met with opposition from the followers of Helios, especially Albert.
“What are you doing, motherfucker?! Don't you know who you've been dragging?! He is His Highness Prince Helios, Second Prince of the Kingdom of Meglovia!”
One of the investigators answered Albert's words in a very disrespectful tone.
“Heh, what does it matter to us if he is the son of the king or not? Weepy! Now he's just no more than a defendant.”
“What do you mean bastard?! You've even treated His Highness the Prince as a defendant before you find any proof of his truth, huh?!”
Albert pulled the collar of the slender-mouthed investigator, but the investigator immediately threw out Albert's hand. This time he spilled his spit. Not to Albert, but to Prince Helios.
“Cuih! Criminals don't seem worthy of being treated as human beings!”
“Basic curse!”
Albert looked like he was going to pull out his great sword. But before all that happened, Helios moved quickly to stop him.
“Stop it, Albert.”
Investigators who had not seen Helios' rapid movements before she suddenly stood before them immediately broke out in cold sweat.
“Master.”
Helios said nothing more. His expression was sad and looked resigned. The blow of Leon's death turned out to be far greater in its impact on Helios.
Helios was dragged like a dog and absolutely treated no longer as a suspect, but as a defendant, even before all official investigations proved the truth behind the incident.
In the midst of Albert trying his hardest to hold back his anger, watching his master get such an unfair treatment, yet there was nothing he could do to help his master, Damian came to Albert's side.
“As expected if their treatment would be like that to His Royal Highness Prince Helios.”
“What do you mean, Damian?”
“Well, we know how much the holy temple hated His Highness the Prince. Apparently, the palace was so busy in the face of war with the Vlonhard Empire that the investigators sent here were people from the holy temple.”
Knowing the truth about who the identity of the investigators who were sent to investigate the case of Prince Helios, Albert's anger was increased.
