The Traitor: Relic War
Chp. 25 Unnecessary Worries For Empty Shadow Members

A Few Day's Later...

The Kingdom of Terrace/Shield Academy

"It's been day three since Zen's disappearance, guess where he is now..." Elize spoke while stirring the plate in front of her with a tablespoon while in the Academy Canteen along with Iori, Shin, Rika, Luna, Natsukawa, Serta Miharu.

"And even so we get absolutely nothing from watching Mr. Haley... What exactly is the purpose of Dad telling us to do this..." Sahut Luna who at that time stopped eating for a moment heard complaints from her brother.

"Basic Zen is stupid... Where he actually went... When he became the target of the enemy he left without telling me... How dare he worry me like this... And also how dare he leave his duty..." Elize sighed softly then leaned her head beside the plate, lost in her own daydream about where Zen's whereabouts had disappeared since 3 days ago without any news.

Hearing a complaint from Elize, Luna and the others exchanged glances, giving each other codes to tease Elize.

"What a big brother is so worried about Zen's state..." Said Luna who was the first to tease Elize.

"Of course..." Elize without lifting her head.

"Don't the princess like Kanade..." Miharu said between the silences that filled their group with a look of doubtful face that was restrained in a forced smile.

"Well, I do like it... Isn't that obvious..." Elize spoke without hesitation then raised her head and looked back at Miharu, making her dumbfounded along with the reaction that was hurriedly unleashed.

"Ahaha... True too... It was obvious, right..." The woman with the gray eyes and purple hair tied to the side braids laughed awkwardly trying to look ordinary with Elize's statement when everyone only reacted normally because they already knew.

"What's up Haru?, you seem a little weird..." Rika's question is aware of the strangeness of Miharu.

"Ti's... It's okay Rika... I'm fine... Just a little surprised... Well that's it..." He answered with a little head down.

"Katagawa's... Don't tell me you're..." Shin narrowed his eyes, looking straight ahead at where Miharu was fighting with the food in front of her.

"What's Shin?" Tanya Iori who was sitting right beside Miharu and also Luna.

"You like Zen too..." He answered immediately as all gazes headed to him to wait for the words to come out of his mouth.

Miharu's looking down with a hot face that might be slightly flushed, to try to resist her embarrassment she reacted with a little cute where she played her finger under the table.

And after a while he raised his head directly to reply to Shin's words where as he raised his head a nod that might feel embarrassed for him to let out was seen very clearly.

"That's right..."

Daylight

Nipotia Kingdom /City Lodging.

The boy entered with a downcast face, walking into the three-story inn located near the city center, and when he arrived inside he immediately glanced to the side where another boy was sitting in the inn restaurant while eating his lunch in the form of white bread and soup.

"Sister Zen I'm back..." Daven raised his face when he was right in front of Zen.

"Ah, welcome back, is the registration done..." Zen's question did not look back at Daven and only focused on the food that was in front of him.

"That's how... It turned out that registering as a Magische Hunter was easier than I expected... And from tomorrow I can do the hunt..." Daven answered and sat down in front of Zen.

"Good indeed... That way you can change my money..." Zen raised his face then glanced towards the reception desk where it was guarded by a large-bodied man and a fierce face.

"Well I'm going to change it, by the way what's wrong Brother Zen?, Daritadi brother kept looking towards the inn keeper..." Daven reacted to Zen's gaze which could not be separated from the innkeeper.

"No... It's just that I just bought some information from him..." Zen's reply continued his delayed meal.

"Information..."

"Well right... He's an information broker in this city... And you know what I got?" Zen glanced with a pleased look when he heard the question from Daven.

"Sweet girl and Bohay?" Terka Daven suddenly arrived and when he heard that the happy face of Zen again turned to be a little disappointed and also hesitant with the thoughts of Daven.

"Not stupid..."

"Then..."

Zen grabbed something that he put under his buttocks then lifted a paper in front of Daven's face.

"That's information about the Nobles who attacked your sister... Guess what this information costs... 10,000 ril and that's my last money..."

"REally..." Daven stood up from where he was sitting and read the name on the paper, read it quickly and gave a sadistic look at the same time.

"Sister Zen... This... This is Karun's treasure, this way I can avenge my brother's death... This is the first step of the goal I've made" he added.

"Look down, you fool, you're drawing people's attention... Sit back"

"Ah, sorry" Daven sat down again after realizing that everyone's gaze, including the innkeeper, was on him.

"So where can we meet him.' asked Daven again after realizing that the information did not include the residence of the nobleman.

"According to the information, he lives in the mansion which is still inside the palace section... Maybe you know something about that?"

"The nobles who live in the palace area are usually Nobles who have great influence, it is likely that he is a Duke-level Noble and also includes an important person for this kingdom..." Daven replied after hearing the question from Zen.

"What in this world there are no good nobles... I wonder if their nature is determined by wealth?..." Murmuring quietly Zen.

"But Brother Zen, to enter the palace is very difficult... Many guards patrolling..."

"You're worried about that?, who do you think you're talking to..." Challenge Zen with a slightly arrogant face.

"Is it possible Zen's brother will help me.."

"True, I'll help you... Besides, I have some business in the royal palace... So I thought I could help you.."

"Then let's go Zen... What else is waiting for..." Daven stood up and asked Zen to leave immediately.

Bruck...

Daven sat down forcibly when something under his feet forced him back to his seat, and when he looked down two Shadow Hands appeared to be holding his legs.

"before that... Let's make Daven's deal..." Said Zen who put away his already empty dinner plate to the side.

"Treaty..."

"real agreement... I won't help you for free because this is your problem..."

"...."

"First I want you to replace all my money The way is to take the Duke's property you are after, of course you can take it for you too... Second we'll move separately, I'll just escort you into his mansion and after that I'll go on my own business...

Third, let's create a group after that, one that only consists of you and me... And of course the purpose of our group is the extermination of the garbage.I also want you to be my eyes in this Kingdom.." Zen pointed out one by one his fingers when giving their approval, then at the end of the sentence he sharpened his gaze as if he was showing about his true strength.

And the Reaction given by Daven was A fright when the gaze of those eyes seemed to want to kill him, and he merely straightened his own saliva while holding back his body that was beginning to tremble.

"Now I wonder if Brother Zen is my ally or enemy..." Daven said after a moment of silence in fear.

"He... However I am not both, I am doing this for my own benefit, because I have never done anything unfavorable to me... And I think you're right that our meeting is fate... I will help you and you will help me... No one is hurt here... How's..." Zen said again now with his face that looked a little relaxed yet full of cunning.

"alright... I concur... It's all for revenge..." Daven nodded directly.

"A good decision... That way today the Empty Shadow Group was officially formed... There won't be a leader in this group and we'll exchange information..."

"I agree..."

"Our first mission is to infiltrate the royal palace, you will go to the Duke's mansion and I will infiltrate the palace...

And tonight, it will be a slightly red night for those with dirty souls...

Just kidding... No need to be that serious..."
