Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 100: The Trap

We returned to the inn, dinner, and rest with a light body and a joyful heart! that's what we thought at first, when finally a problem again approached us.

in front of the inn, we were already greeted by a group of heavily armed Knights.with Armor covering their entire bodies and a sword with blades that looked quite sharp. eh, what was it?

one of them came up to us. I myself could not see his face clearly because his entire head was covered by his steel helmet.he pulled out his sword and pointed it at us.

"You guys are adventurers who just came yesterday right!? nay! it's like instead of calling yourself an adventurer, you're a bunch of thieves!"

huh, thief? what exactly did this man say? he understood our confusion and called one of his colleagues.he finally came and brought a bag containing our belongings.we were forced to look at the contents of our own luggage. hey, hey, hey! you have no right to dismantle someone else's luggage without the permission you have.

I don't think there were two gold bars in my bag and James. Meanwhile, there were three and four gold bars in Anna and Evelyn's bag, so you want to accuse us of being thieves?

"Look at this lowly commoner! you obviously came here to steal right!? how can we allow a group of people like you to disturb security in this city blessed by the Goddesses? dogs like you deserve better to live licking prison land!"

with a burning rage, he cursed at us. Not only that, using his hard iron boots, he even violently kicked at my chest! well, it didn't hurt at all. Even I could have stayed unmoved after receiving that kick.but yes, let's go for this kind of childish game.

BRUKK!! His hard shoes landed in my chest, I bounced three meters away. I could not scream in pain because from my mouth blood had come out first. Anna frantically wanted to help me, but was confronted by one of them. Cih, we are outnumbered and more importantly, my body is already helpless.it seems like some of my ribs are broken.

"hahaha, feel that bastard! hey guys, take them to the dungeon now! let savage thieves like them feel the coldness of the dungeon as punishment for them!"

with a weak body, I was carried by them. The others were also forcibly led to a place we knew nothing about. I wonder why they did something like this to us. do they want to extort the possessions we carry?

****

The night is underground....

"Hey wake up the mutt!" the water soaked my body. It's cold! no matter the view from any side, watering someone on a winter night is a very bad idea!

"Oh look, he seems to have realized.It's better we do this boy? it looks like toying with her body is the best huh, hehehe..." Huhhhh! it's disgusting! I could hear his disgusting voice filling this room!

I don't have a clue where I'm acting now, but it looks like this is a prison. There are some spaces covered by iron trellises. I don't know what made them do this to us. we all realize that this is the charade they've created. But what's the purpose? they didn't know that Anna and I were nobles so they must have looked at us as nothing more than lowly adventurers.

of course their goal was clearly not to blackmail us. But what? well, put that aside first, I have to check the other conditions. With [Search & Scan] magic I look for another one and with that I can find out my party's news. James looked fine.he was asleep in one of the bars.Thank God there were no wounds on his body.

but where are Anna and Evelyn? I searched and scanned all these buildings but could not find them in any room. Suddenly a lightning bolt struck my head. My eyes opened! what they're after isn't what we're carrying. the rascals don't know they're after Anna and Evelyn! fuckin' hell! why is something like this unthinkable to me from the beginning! Stupid Issac, Stupid Issac, Stupid Issac!

Relax Issac. Panicking will not bring you any good. First, let's free ourselves first and James, the two who finished torturing me. They were off guard because I was tied up with a magic rope. This is ordinary magic but because it is cast by a person who is strong enough, the effect of this magic also becomes strong.

but this kind of magic could possibly bind me. [Absolute Null: Level One] I took out that magic.it is magic capable of neutralizing any kind of attack and binding things of this kind.it doesn't take long, though, two seconds is enough to remove this rope.

the two men were not in this room, cih, if one of my personal forces is like them, I swear I will throw them into the well with the head down first.

relaxed and silent, I came out of this stinking room. I saw the two men outside.they were laughing.there were wine bottles lying on the table. uh, they were drunk. this made my work easier.I walked towards them without losing my presence. one of those who finally finished laughing was surprised to see the person who should have been tied up and fainted suddenly come off and come to him.

"Oi Village Dog! What You're Doing.." he wasn't done finishing his sentence when an ice crystal suddenly hit his head and pierced his brain.

while his interlocutor was stunned at his comrade's sudden death, he jumped up and away from me following his self-defense instinct.he took his sword and began to threaten me.

"Basar Kampung Dogs Don't Know Yourself! Who do you think you're really dealing with!? We Exist.." Gosh, I even felt no need to hear his words again before I finally hit that person's head with my feet.

"I-I, as the Knight who served Earl Clifford, won't say anything to you!"

I smiled as I approached him. Yes, he did not need to say anything. I already knew the whereabouts of James. as well as where Anna and Evelyn. once in front of him, I immediately stepped on his head once. I injured my own index finger and dripped my blood into the Knight's ear.

"[Blood Magic: Bloody Puppet]"

Yosh, my preparations are done. Let's pick up James now.he's in a room not far from here. Along the way, I 'forced' to kill the Knights I met. well, I'm 'forced' to kill the Knights I met, I want a little maybe someone who can see my whereabouts.

it's true, not far from where I was locked up, James was there. he didn't fall asleep, but he seemed a bit stressed.Is this his first time in prison?

"Hi James, it doesn't look like you're all right. Let's get out."

James was shocked to see me standing in front of his cell as if a light of hope had suddenly appeared in front of him. Hey, I'm not an apostle so don't look at me like that okay? I unlocked that cell lock with the key I got from one of the Knights.

"Ah Right too, where are Miss Anna and Eve, Issac? why don't you save them first?" I could feel a bit of anger in his tone. James was right. They did have to be prioritized but unfortunately, they weren't locked up in this prison either.

"Unfortunately they're not there. I don't know how they are but, I already know where they are. Quick, we don't have much time or their chastity will soon be stained!"

saying that, I lead the way to where Anna and Evelyn are. You two, hang on!

****

at the Knight headquarters of Cliff City, a kilometer from Earl Clifford's Mansion....

this was one of the luxurious and magnificent rooms belonging to the Knight chief.he usually slept here.but now, that magnificent room was now in a mess.The cause was quite obvious, the reason was quite obvious, Knight Commander who was fighting with Anna and Evelyn.

But this Knight Commander was strong enough to overwhelm Anna and Evelyn.Their breathing had both become heavy. The Knight Commander was the one who brought them to this room to be his dinner.they were brought here unconscious.once they woke up, only stay in the form of camisole and shorts attached to their bodies.

fortunately, they are not weak and can put up a fight back when Conscious.but their power gap is too wide.although the Knight Commander of Cliff city, Will, is a depraved man, but he is strong. being in Grade one. while Anna and Evelyn were the highest in Semi Grade one. despite being close together, but the difference in ability between Semi Grade one and grade one was indeed really far away.

They are no longer able to fight. Evelyn had already resigned, but this time Anna was smiling - a smile that neither Will nor Evelyn understood at all.

"Why are you smiling, you cheap lady!?" Will, whose mood is still bad because he has not managed to taste their beautiful body, was very upset when he saw Anna smiling as if he saw her heart adoration.if he really did have a idol, he was very upset, Will was eager to fuck Anna in front of the guy.

"there's no problem Evelyn, it's time we changed." suddenly ten Ice swords pierced through the ceiling of the room and shot towards Will. even though he was grade one, there was no doubt that he would die if he was hit by the attack.

"WHO IS THAT COWARDLY DOG THAT DARED TO ATTACK ME FROM BEHIND!? GET OUT AND GET AHEAD FACE ME!"

his anger peaked.had failed to do the "it" thing, now he was suddenly bullied by others.he put his face up while berating and challenging the person who attacked him earlier frontally!

"I'm here, you stupid knight!" contrary to Will's expectations, a man's voice appeared through the window. Will directed his gaze to the window and he was stunned.His body was trembling in fear.In front of him should be the two people who are now languishing in prison.no, no, the one who spoke should have died from being made into a toy by his soldiers! why he could be here.

and of course, the ones standing at the window were James and Issac.

"Yoh, lord Knight.The match has just begun you know" said Issac with his Demon grin.
