The Queen of Death Return
The Unplanned Meeting

Chapter 12: The Longest Night

Today was the coronation event that invited the entire Adventurer Guild in the Empire.

Why invite Adventurers from outside the city who did not participate in the tournament incident at all?

I was just a little curious about the Adventurers from another city. I am with Ray now. I'm a little nervous being alone. Tonight might be long.

Time off! I want some fancy food from the Empire!

Ray and I are headed to the Imperial Palace. It's better to use teleportation, but, it won't be fun. I'm not the kind of person who likes to come in at the beginning.

Guild Master seemed to be coming to the event as well. He gave me a quest to find information about Sige Village. What am I supposed to say? I am the "Goddess" whom they worship. I don't want to be like that either! How humiliating! Well, my goal was indeed to find followers in order to shift the current position of the Goddess, but, I didn't expect this to be so embarrassing!

"My Nyonyaku, does it matter if I accompany you?" ask Ray.

"No problem, and call me Alissa now,"

"G ... All right, Alissa." Ray's face flushed.

This lizard is crazy. I was impressed with his cool human form. He could get many girls with such a form.

Ray has so far marked 6 of the 12 World Guards. The world was too vast, even wider than the earth. Perhaps the heavy gravity made the creatures in this world strong. If they were sent to earth, they would become superhumans. That's according.

The SS-ranked Dungeon Ray found also intrigued me. Ray said it was in the Caribbean kingdom. I still do not know the names of the kingdoms in this world. But, about the Caribbean Kingdom, there where the Warriors stay.

"Miss Hart." Someone came to me.

"You ...."

Guildmaster. Was he on purpose?

"What a coincidence, let's go together,"

"Whatever,"

"It looks like you brought an unusual partner,"

I narrowed my eyes.

Does he know the Ray Dragon race?

"Remain ... It's just your feeling. Ray is my personal servant,"

"...." - ".Ray immediately put on a shy blush face.

Lizard sucks!

"Oh, yeah,"

"Guildmaster, will all of the Adventurers Guilds of the Empire be present?"

"really. Stop calling me Guildmaster, call me Carl,"

"Alright, Carl,"

I still suspect this bastard.

 -----------------------------

We have arrived at the Imperial Palace.

*rek

The Palace door opens.

Everyone has gathered. Very crowded! Wait ... I'll see their stat.

Weak! Adventurers from the Capital are much better. Ah, nevermind. Looks like the welcoming event is about to begin. I was planning to wear special Royal attire, it turns out I was mistaken, everyone still wears adventure gear. I survived.

*cring

A bright beam highlighted the front that looked like a small stage.

Everyone is silent.

*Tok Tok Tok Tok

The sound of footsteps walked towards that place.

A beautiful woman in luxurious clothes walked up elegantly. She is Princess Anna.

As usual, she's beautiful.

Princess Anna turned her gaze towards me. He smiled and lowered his head.

He could see me from a distance.

"Thank you to the Adventurers who have been present at the celebration of my coronation as the new Emperor. Because of all of you, the Empire can continue to stand until now. Once again, thank you, I'll give an award to the Adventurers who were directly involved during the incident back then,"

Huh uh? I don't remember any awards like this.

*Prok Prok Prok

The sound of applause accompanied the Adventurers who walked towards the podium.

They're very friendly. Appearance is not everything.

I don't see Party Heroes.

Soul Control's.

It turned out that they had left the Empire. Well, what information can I get from the Warrior named Lucas.

Huh uh? Interesting ... I'll send Ray there.

 -----------------------------

All the Adventurers involved in the incident back then had lined up on the podium.

Princess Anna seemed to give something to the Adventurers.

Whatisit? The gold? Nope. Like an item.

Now it's my turn. Princess Anna held my hand. Wait for. I slipped the communication item in my hand, it was for Princess Anna. It was very necessary.

He brought his face closer to me and whispered.

I smiled at Princess Anna.

*bum!

I felt a killing aura being directed at me.

Killing aura?

"What's up, Yeah- Adventurer Alissa?"

"It's okay, please continue, Princess Anna,"

Which bastard deliberately directed his killing aura at me!

[Ray, do you hear me?]

[What's up, my lady?]

[There are people who are trying to ruin this event, install protectors all over this Palace,]

[Understand,]

That bastard dared to look for trouble with me. I can't find him. Too crowded. He must have been very well trained.

I went back to my seat. Lots of food in front of me. This is so tempting! I have to keep my attitude.

 -------------------------------

Some people came into the room.

"Wooah, it's them" said one Adventurer.

Them? Wh who? Two men and two women. Waah ... Without looking with judgement eyes, I could sense their auras. Did they intentionally release him?

I looked towards Princess Anna.

He disappeared. Where is he?

The four men walked towards the empty table. And that's my desk! Well, I'm alone, and Ray's busy with security. God fucking. It makes me awkward. Carl! Where are you?! I need you now!

They sit in my place. The table is a little large and circular. I was alone, even other Adventurers were reluctant to sit in my place. And now, these four people are occupying my desk.

Huh ... Whatever, I just want to eat.

"Sorry, miss, we're interrupting your mealtime." One of them spoke to me.

"No problem, this table is empty,"

"Excuse me, Miss and Mr. Hart," Someone from behind came over to us.

"Yes." Yeah." The four men answered simultaneously.

Wait ... The hart? Their surname is Hart?

"We will bring you special food, please wait,"

"All right, thank you,"

I was silent with the food I was still chewing.

So, Wyatt the Hart family meant these Adventurers?

I still keep quiet thinking about all this. I'm really confused right now. I use Hart because it's the name I used in my favorite movie! What the fuck is all this?! Why am I always in such a troublesome position?!

[Yes,]

Ray!

[What's up, Ray?]

[I've secured the entire Palace with my strongest barrier,]

[Good work, Ray,]

[....]

[Back now, the atmosphere here is very uncomfortable,]

[Alright, Nyonyaku,]

Where's Princess Anna?

I'll call him.

[Princess Anna,]

[I-yes, Your Majesty,]

[Where are you?]

[There's a special meeting right now, is there a problem?]

[Nothing,]

[Okay, Your Majesty,]

Huh .. troublesome.

*Tap

Someone grabbed my shoulder from behind.

It was Carl! I was very helpful ....

"Yoo ... Miss Hart, are you having fun?"

"...." - ".The four people from the Hart Family looked at me with sharp gazes.

Goddamnit!

Connect ....
