(Viewing point : Yuna)
We waited until midnight to meet Queen Panthera. The reason we chose the night was so that we could speak to him face-to-face without any influence from a third party.
When we reached the hall the guards had only a 45-second pause before the next guard passed but since we were using spirit form then we were able to pass through it very easily. That's also one of the reasons why I didn't invite the elders to infiltrate.
After all if we get caught then thousands of soldiers will surround us from all sides like angry bees and it will be very troublesome. We entered the palace so deeply. But we haven't found the room of the Queen. As the Assassin elders said, this place is like a labyrinth. But I felt a different sensation when I entered this palace.
The number of ancient images and ancient writings on each holographic screen displayed on the wall. We accidentally found a shattered and charred ceiling. The place where Ifrit came out. Before we got to that place there were a lot of dividing lines with the words "Be careful! Manna distortion place. Besides being allowed it is forbidden to cross the line."
"I smell a lot of dead bodies and ashes of burned humans here. It really makes me nostalgic." Said Riza checking the ash on the edge of the floor.
"When did you become Son Goku's mount huh? How many millennia have passed and you still remember." I said looking up at the perforated ceiling of the palace.
"That's how." Said Riza.
" Yuna, I found her. Right in the hallway on the right. One of my men reported 1 woman lying in the left room." Genghis. We finally found him. We immediately returned to the spirit form and headed in the direction Genghis was referring to. We also arrived at the door. There are no guards.
"It's weird. Why are there no guards? If this is the Queen's room it should be impossible to let her not wake up like this." I said suspiciously.
"You're right. But my men say here is the only room with a woman. The rest were soldiers on patrol and who were on their turn to sleep." Genghis. I don't think we have any choice but to enter this room to be sure.
We also walked through the door easily. There was no barrier like runes. Inside the room was so dim. There was only a strange lantern that illuminated the room with a dim orange light.
We also returned to our physical form. Right after we used our physiques dozens of arrows shot towards us simultaneously. I used my manna to make a hood so that all the arrows were destroyed by hitting my protector too hard. Suddenly the light above us appeared like a small sun.
The woman lying on our bed quickly pointed her rifle at us. Genghis and Riza were shocked as if the woman in front of them was not the woman we were looking for.
Genghis with a very fast movement slashed the rifle in the woman's hand until the rifle was stuck in the wall.
"You're not Naava. Where's she?" Genghis pointed his sword at the woman's neck. I quickly removed the Genghis sword from the woman.
"What are you doing?!" Genghis said in amazement to me.
"Remember our purpose here. We're here to talk to Queen Panthera." I said. Genghis seemed to regain his consciousness and sheathed his sword back.
"Who are y'all? Same with him I also did not expect that you would infiltrate here. Are you the partners of those two women?" Said the woman on the bed in surprise. Now it was Riza's turn to be surprised.
"Long black haired woman and long dark blue haired woman?" Chirpe Riza. The woman on the bed stared at Riza for a long time. But I tried to hold onto Riza so as not to be rash and directly attacked the woman who was looking at her suspiciously.
"So yes. Judging from his reaction you were even surprised. Looks like you guys have nothing to do with it. Then what do you want to come here? What do you want from my brother?" Said the woman.
"We want to talk to Queen Panthera." I said fine.
"If I say I can't? Hows it? Are you gonna kill me?" Ask. I was confused to answer it. But for the sake of getting this country then I want to not have to say it.
"The engagement of your sister is . ahem... Our ousama." The woman in front of us was shocked. The woman took her glasses as if she could not see us clearly. After a long time looking at us with his glasses his face calmed down again.
"It seems you are telling the truth. Your manna energy is indeed the same as that of my brother's fiancee. So you guys want to meet my brother. Is it to kill him? " Said.
"You look like a smart guy but why does the vocabulary that comes out of you always say "kill"? " Hardik Riza's.
"Hey, Riza... " I said I was trying to commemorate Riza. Geez, his mouth is always acting.
"You're the only woman my sister's fiancee has. You must be upset to see the men you serve are engaged to other women? That's why I use the words "kill"." The three of us immediately put out a red face.
"Stupid, that's not the concept!"
"Stupid, that's not the concept!"
"Stupid, that's not the concept!"
"The mouth may lie but the heart does not. Until now I also did not know the scientific reason. But still can't." Said the Woman. Riza was almost angry and said something spicy but I quickly stepped on her foot to get her focused on the pain.
"Can we know why?" My tokyo.
"I'm not allowing it. But. "he said it stopped. I may be outrageous in asking too far but the woman we spoke to did not feel so.
"Follow me." Said. He took a white coat with stripes like Panthera pattern and went from the bed to the exit.
"Come on." I said to Genghis and Riza to follow him.
The three of us walked out on the glasses lady.
"Where are we going, uh.... " The word Genghis stopped.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Neema, I'm Naava's sister." Neema.
"Let us introduce ourselves as well. I'm Yuna, this is Genghis, and this is Riza." I said.
"Why do you trust us so easily? If politically we are spies from other countries. You sure you trust us to this? " Tanya Riza.
Neema then showed us something from the white plate she had brought from the room.The white plate projected a kind of moving image. But that's not what surprised me but what he showed us. It was an incident where we infiltrated and defeated the border drones and soldiers that we threatened to open the gates.
"It must have been you guys." Neema. Suddenly the white plate analyzed my face and matched it with my face while I was at the border.
"As per." The notification word from the white plate.
"Yes. But why?" My toot.
"Nobody was killed on our side. And although I already knew from the surveillance cameras but reports from the post guards there said that the mess was from a technical fault of the drones in their post. From there I can conclude that you are not here to fight us. That's why I believe in you. I'm sure at the inn you booked there are still your comrades waiting there." Clear, Neema.
Hearing Naava's explanation made me even more convinced that my decision was right not to conflict with Panthera. They are smart, have advanced technology, and can be invited to talk.
"It's just right that our members don't feel any runes." Said Riza.
"It functions the same as runes but this is more practical and there is no need to throw out manna. We're up." We stood in front of a giant door guarded by soldiers who used the same equipment as we fought at the border.
"Daughter of Neema, they are. "one of the soldiers is worried and suspicious of our presence.
"They're my guests. Open the door." Hearing Neema's words, the soldier opened a giant door in front of us.
We also entered. The room is really big. Wider than my room in Alice's palace. At the end was a bed 5x7 meters wide that a woman slept with. Just as we approached I felt something annoying from the woman.
"Neema, who's the....!!!" The face of the woman in the bed suddenly stiffened looking at me as if she wanted to invite me to a fight.
So irritated I subconsciously used my Tsukuyomi form and raised the spear in my right hand and attacked it. That woman also seemed to feel the same way as me. He clenched his hand and appeared a golden energy that formed a transparent glove and brushed off my spear punishment and used his other fist to point it at my face.
"STUPID!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU USELESS GODDESS??!!! WE'VE COME THIS FAR!!!" Hardik Riza's. Genghis could only surrender and applaud the eidat.
Instantly the Panthera soldiers surrounded us and pointed their weapons at us. But Neema calmly told them to retreat. He knows that this is out of their control, be it my side or Panthera's.
"Sister too! They intend to talk to big brother not to fight! " Said Neema trying to calm Naava down.
"Have we met?"
"Have we met?"
we said simultaneously.
