The Queen of Death Return
Resolve of the Lodging Owner
"ask for help? Why should we?" my many.
Orion narrowed his eyes. "You should've known, miss,"
That is, he knew that Crocell had a relationship with me?!
"What do you mean, Orion?!" The rabbit woman looked at Orion with a gaze full of anger.
"Melissa, relax, I didn't plan anything" Orion said.
The Demon King and Maryna came out of the inn.
"That's ...." Orion pointed towards the two Demons. "They're both very strong, which is why the creature from the Dungeon escaped,"
Eh?
"What are you talking about, Orion?" ask the rabbit woman.
"My men saw one of them fighting fiercely with a creature from the Dungeon,"
"You mean, one of the 12 Dungeon creatures came to that place?" ask the rabbit woman again.
"That's right. And also ...." Orion brought his body closer to the rabbit woman. "They're both Devils,"
Hearing that, the bunny lady immediately jumped away from me and got ready behind Orion.
Orion raised his left hand to the side. "Relax, Melissa, they don't have bad goals,"
I don't know what to say. There's a little misunderstanding here. I want to straighten it out.
"Wait a minute, Duke Orion .. about the creature"
Orion raised his index finger and interrupted my words.
"I already know, Miss, that's why I'm hoping for your help,"
I let out my breath.
It's been very deviated.
"Alright, but I'll discuss this with my two colleagues first,"
Orion nodded.
I walked towards the two Devils.
The Demon King snapped his finger.
A sound barrier appeared covering us.
"So, what's our plan this time?" my many.
"Queen ... We should help him," the Demon King suggested.
"I know, but, I don't want to waste time here,"
The Demon King rubbed his chin.
Is this his new habit?
"Your Majesty, the Queen, we must follow their plan first. We haven't found any picture for the future" said Maryna.
Maryna's right. We just listen to their plans. I also did not have much time after knowing that the Dungeon rank SS was mine. I need to get this done quickly.
"All right, we'll just follow their will first,"
The two Devils nodded.
The Demon King canceled his protective magic.
I went back to the direction of the two people there.
Huh uh? What was?
The rabbit woman and Orion looked surprised at something.
"Are you guys okay?" my many.
"Eheem .. no problem. How, Miss, do you want to help us?"
"Before that, what do we get if this mission succeeds?"
Orion smiled slightly. "It will be given by the King later,"
So I did, yeah. I get the point.
"All right, we'll help you,"
"Wait a minute!" The rabbit lady landed in our middle.
"What are you doing, Melissa?" Orion looked at him confused.
"I want to come,"
"Hey, stop your jokes, you don't even care anymore about what's going on right now,"
The rabbit woman bows her head. "I didn't mean it that way." Water drops fell to the ground. "Everything's still stuck in my memory,"
She cried.
"M-melissa." Orion panicked to see the rabbit woman crying.
The rabbit woman wiped her tears. He raised his head again.
"But, I can't go on like this, there are many who suffer because of my indifference." The rabbit woman's eyes grew sharper. "So, let me join you, please,"
He's really serious. He tried to rise from his past. I don't know what the past he's been through, and yet, seeing his strong determination, I believe that he can get through it all.
"Melissa." Orion saw it with full force. "All right, you can come, please,"
Huh .. I want to hug her.
---------------------------------
After the heartwarming incident, we returned to the inn. Of course Orion is also coming because he will explain everything.
We were in a room that looked like a workspace.
Like a small library, many books are neatly arranged. It's like the room of the owner of this inn.
Huh, wait a minute.
I glanced towards the rabbit woman.
Ah, so so it is. It turned out that he was a receptionist who concurrently became the owner of the inn.
The rabbit lady came over while brewing tea.
"So, Duke Orion, what organization does Golden Blood actually belong to?" my many.
Orion breathed.
"Alright, it's gonna be a little long,"
Please shorten!
"Golden Blood's. They're some kind of regular hit organization. However, after gaining the full support of a few Nobles, they turned into a crime center gathered. Starting from drugs, slavery practices, and other illegal businesses they have mastered,"
Dark business .. ah, I won't comment on this.
"With the SS-ranked Dungeon appearing, Golden Blood further spread their wings. Taking advantage of the situation in the foggy Kingdom in dealing with every threat from the Dungeon. So the king ordered me to investigate this,"
Again this has something to do with my Dungeon. Orion-no. The king! I'm sorry!
"Have you found out who the Nobles are supporting them?"
"Temporary guess. That person is Marques Rudy Howfen,"
Just like Maryna said before.
"But we still don't have hard evidence to get him to jail" Orion said.
Although Orion was the Duke's nobleman, he could not do as he pleased. Moreover, the person he suspected was a Marques, an aristocrat one level below the Duke. If at a formal meeting, the Duke could easily make a Marques tremble because of that difference. However, beyond that, it seemed like the Marques had more power which made the Duke have to be wary of him like this. True, that power is Golden Blood.
*Slurp
The two Devils next to me were casually sipping their respective teas.
They just listen.
"Orio." The rabbit woman joined the topic.
"What's up, Melissa?"
"How great is the power of this organization called Golden Blood? I didn't pay much attention to them while they were still active adventurers, because they used to be amateurs,"
"I don't know for sure, they were strong enough to carry out a rebellion. Due to the presence of an SS-rank Dungeon, they did not dare to show themselves blatantly,"
"Alright, we just need to finish them off slowly, right?" The rabbit woman clenched her hands.
"Wait." The Demon King raised his hand.
He finally spoke!
"Duke Orion, I suggest that this operation be split into two teams,"
"Please explain, Miss,"
"Me and my partner next to me will be in charge of capturing Marques. You, Miss Melissa, and Alissa ... You're in charge of destroying Golden Blood,"
Not bad.
"No, no." Orion shook his head. "I want to ask for your help to attack them,"
"That's not necessary ...."
I held the shoulder of Orion who happened to be sitting next to me.
"Duke Orion, don't worry, we can beat them" I said.
"Yes!" The rabbit woman suddenly got up from her seat. "Why are you so embarrassing like this, Orion?!"
Orion breathed. "Huuh .. alright, please help, Miss,"
"Call me Alissa,"
"Okay, Miss Alissa." Orion looked back at the two Devils.
"My name is Arys, and this is Maryna." The Demon King introduced himself.
The discussion went well. The operation will start tomorrow night.
Huuh .. I hope it's over soon.
Connect ....
Sorry for late update. I again revised the entire chapter, and just got to the middle of the chapter. Relax, this doesn't change the story, really. I just revised the ambiguous words and some doang terms. You can reread it if you are curious.
