The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 39: Twin Lotus Inn

The streets are filled with people passing by. The majority of them were soldiers who were running around here and there. The reason for all this commotion was Ren's actions. Right now, Ren was silently staring at the bright path before him. Coincidentally, the current Ren was still standing on a dark and deserted road.

"Pulse.. Let's go."

Ren spoke to himself, then set foot to walk out. Not to forget, Ren wore a hood that was contained in his clothing robe. Although Ren could use a disguise, but he thought of using it only under very important circumstances.

Soldiers, priests, knights and men were seen running towards the Colosseum. It even looks like some people who wear various kinds of flashy clothes go that way. Ren guessed that they must be members of the Adventurers Guild. Based on the atmosphere they released it did look like that.

Ren was too busy thinking about all sorts of things. Until Ren realized too late, there was someone who had just passed him suspiciously. She wore a hood and robe that covered her entire body, even so the Mana she took out of her body made Ren know that she was an Assassin.

Ren thought and decided to ignore her for a while. Ren walked back to get to his next destination. Ren's goal is an inn, Ren wants to feel back to sleep in a comfortable place after a long time. Therefore Ren will look for an inn that is luxurious and comfortable.

Ren walked leisurely with a heart full of freedom. Then, a young woman entered Ren's gaze. His eyes locked on Ren who was walking, it seemed like he did intend to approach Ren.

"Hey, Uncle's there!"

'Who did you say uncle? I look even younger than you.' Ren replied to the woman who called out to him from behind inwardly.

Ren's hunch says that this woman is troublesome. So, Ren continued walking, trying to ignore himself. If Ren had to deal with a woman like this right now, it would weigh heavily on his mind.

"Hey! Uncle don't ignore me! you're the one who just came here, right? you're looking for an inn, aren't you?"

"Hm?"

From behind his hood, Ren put on a strange face. Of course the reason was because the woman could find out Intentions Ren who was looking for an inn.

"Where do you know I'm looking for an inn?"

Ren decides to avenge the woman who stubbornly follows him who is walking.

"Eh? Your voice is younger than I thought. So you're not an uncle?"

'Where did this belief come from?' Ren was a little upset.

The woman was so lucky that in reality Ren had very high patience. If not, then Ren had already destroyed this woman before him who had said that with an innocent face.

"Don't you say that a little disrespectful.?"

Ren said this with glowing red eyes. Somehow when Ren's mood is not good, his red eyes are always burning. As a result, even this woman looked frightened.

"Already" My words were cut off.

"Ma-Ma-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you, sir!"

"Here you go, I'm looking for an inn. Why why?"

"ah! Don't you! I am the maid of the Twin Lotus inn. You stay there, how?"

Yeah, Ren really never once understood a woman. The woman was initially frightened, now her face became bright and happy. Their mood changes too quickly, seeing this... Ren was reminded of a man, Nivania. But this was a coincidence the inn Ren was looking for came into its own.

"Pulse. Then, can I see the place first?"

Ren wanted a comfortable and luxurious inn. If it was just an ordinary inn, with a thousand apologies Ren would quickly resign.

"Yes, Yes, Let's Master, follow me.."

The woman walked away with a wide smiling face. There was no other choice for Ren than to follow him. They walked in tandem, the woman in front while Ren followed her from behind. This scene looked like Ren was trying to tail a woman. In fact, some people were seen whispering while staring at a Ren.

"Mother, who's that weirdo wearing a hood?"

"Shhh... That person will hear it."

'Yes, I really heard it. Don't worry about it.' Ren muttered while trying to ignore the stares of people.

"Master! We have arrived."

"Ah.. Really true?" Ren looked at the building in front of him.

Twin Lotus, this name is listed on the building in front of Ren. The building itself is quite nice, though not as luxurious as Ren would have liked. From what Ren saw, it seemed like this building had two floors. Just like the inn in Ceeven City. However, obviously this inn looks nicer and well maintained.

"Yes, let's go in.. Madam! I brought a customer!"

The woman opened the door of the inn, and immediately shouted. Ren was unable to comment in this, Ren just followed her into the inn. Ren's inner fatigue felt slightly increased signifying that Ren had to rest immediately.

"Oh? Is that really Vinri?"

The voice of a middle-aged Woman rang out, then the figure of the Midlife Woman appeared. Women who wear simple clothes and look a little dirty. He was not even seen as the owner of this inn at all.

"Really Madam! Tara... He's the guy."

The woman pointed at Ren with a joyful and proud face. As for the middle-aged Woman, she looked at Ren with a feeling of pity.

"Vinri, it looks like you're forcing people to come here again, right?"

"Huh...?! I didn't force it!"

Is stalking included in a coercion? Ren doesn't know. Ren will stay here first.

"It's okay, I'm really looking for an inn." Ren calmed the innkeeper.

"really that? Thank goodness Vinri didn't make you feel distracted..."

"Mrs.....! Hm! I'd better go to the kitchen!"

The woman named Vinri went towards the kitchen with an annoyed face. His attitude looks a little childish - kanakan even though he is an adult.

"I'm sorry Vinri's attitude, he's like that.."

"No problem, I didn't think about it. How much does it cost to stay here?"

"That's.. It should have been 1 gold coin per night but because of these past few days the customer became quiet. The cost is half of that."

'Sepi...? Uhh... Also true.'

Ren realized that there was no one but him here. The atmosphere here is so quiet, unlike the Ceeven City inn that is always inhabited by people every day.

"Yes, please wait a minute..."

The woman owner entered a room. A few moments later, he reappeared.

"Your room should be upstairs, before the last one."

"Pulse.. I get it, Thank you."

Ren walked upstairs according to the direction of the innkeeper's woman. After climbing the stairs, Ren arrived at a passageway. This hallway is filled with doors on both sides. Since Ren's room was one room before the last one, Ren walked back.

"The room here even has a number."

Ren looked at the door of the room he rented, there was a number listed at the top of the door.

'Eh? Did I forget something...'

Ren was pensive as he was about to open the door to his room. There was something that Ren had currently forgotten, yet he did not know what it was.

'That's it...'

Kreett's...

The door of this room sounded a little when it opened, which is natural, considering this is not the Modern World where Ren lived before.

The room in the room entered the view of Ren, a room that is quite spacious, in it there are tables and chairs. Not to forget, a fairly large and nice bed is seen at the end near the window.

"Hoo... This is a little better than Ceeven City Inn."

Ren spoke to himself, then removed the hood that covered his face.

"Hoaaam.... I want to sleep for a while.."

Ren laid his body on the bed. It only took a while for Ren to fall asleep.

On the Streets of the City of Aulzania, looks a very luxurious Horse Train. The carriage was escorted by many Knights on all sides of it.

The chariot was the one that brought the King back to the Palace.

While in the train...

"My king, because of this incident.. Will the tournament still be held?" The Queen arrived - suddenly speaking breaking the silence.

"That's for sure, even though many Knights of Aulzania were injured..." The king seemed to think deeply.

"But... Wouldn't that be a little dangerous, my King?" Restless Queen.

"Although, the Aulzania Tournament is an Activity that has been passed down from ancient times. We can't just cancel it... There will be many protests about this." The king shook his head.

"Actually...." The Queen looked out the window. He deliberately delayed his words first.

"What is His Majesty Dirvaren planning to do..?" The queen asked, but it was not aimed at anyone.

"Even I don't know, he's a Continents Holder, the plan he's running must be something big." The King did the same with the Queen, staring out the Window of the Horse carriage, as if gazing at the future.

The room was lit only by a little light. This room looks like the Throne Room, but on a smaller scale.

On the Throne, a woman was sitting on top of her. A woman who has a small stature and two horns on her forehead.

Some people who wore black robes to cover their entire bodies kneeled pepper the woman who was sitting on the throne.

"Aulzania's city is under attack...?" The woman asked as if she could not believe it.

"True Miss Rey, it was precisely the Colosseum of Aulzania City that was attacked. And again, at the time of the incident, the Colosseum contained important people throughout the Kingdom."

"Bah... That person was daring to strike directly at the enemy's lair. Who exactly is he? you know anything?"

"He was a criminal who was arrested in the City of Rondelia, on charges of trying to seize the City of Rondelia. In other words, he was someone who had obstructed our previous Plan."

"So she..!? Where is he now!?" The woman screamed in anger.

"It's a pity that Miss Rey, she's now a corpse. Derrian, a Knight Chief of Aulzania has managed to kill him."

"What...?! Tch, how dare he be killed before I take his own life.." The woman grumbled in annoyance.

"Have it been, has the Kingdom of Aulzania suffered such a huge loss?"

"Of course Miss Rey, a lot of the Knights of Aulzania are seriously injured. Plus, the Royal Witch was also injured from the attack."

"Hehehe... Good news, then... We'll speed up our plan." The woman smiled in a frightening manner.

"Good!"
