Uranium: The Jinxed Prince
The Jinxed Prince 22's
Wrinkles formed on the pale forehead of a young man. The first thing that greeted once his eyelids lifted was the orange rays of the sun that pierced through the white fabric forming the room where he was now. It seemed as long as he was unconscious, someone brought him back to the tent.
"We came to help create security for the townspeople, but were instead attacked by the townspeople themselves? What the fuck? It was even because of a mistake we did not make! Shouldn't you be in charge, Vice Chairman?"
With strength remaining, Shawn sat down with the help of both arms. Pain from wounds all over the body as if ready to tear his body at any time, but does not become an obstacle to the curiosity of the young man.
"First, not only you and your brother are injured, but also me and Agatha, even Noah is still unconscious," there was a pause in the heavy voice. "But in this case, Margaret's injury was not the responsibility of the Arsenic Guild, as she was injured while going to an area outside the mission. To be honest I was curious, what was he doing there?"
Not heeding the 'warning' of his body to get back to rest, Shawn forced his elbow to pile on and his other hand opened the gap of the cloth where the sunlight broke through.
"Chairman's right. We never put that cave area into the mission, let alone it was just an empty cave, there was not a single wolf there. If anything, it's at least the wolf that passes by for a while and then leaves" Agatha said.
Shawn is eyeing the netra, peering out of the fabric gap. 5 People were sitting on folding chairs surrounding a fireplace.
"So, you don't care about Margaret's wounds just because she tried to check the area outside of the one you set?"
Before the fury of the navy-haired youth grew even more so, the black-haired girl stood up and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and all! I have caused an unnecessary commotion!" said it. "I went there thinking maybe Noah was there...."
Shawn reflex jerks.
"Well?"
"Yes, he suddenly disappeared. Worried that something might happen, I looked for it and reached the cave. Then those people came. They yelled at me, then suddenly threw a grenade."
Shawn blinked a few times. He gulped. Indeed, he purposely went from Margaret's sight to being uncomfortable with the girl. But even a little he did not expect to plunge the girl into danger.
This time it was Zein's turn to stand up. "Then it's clear, Noah's to blame here!" he shouted while pointing at the tent that Shawn occupied. "Didn't he have been very suspicious from the start? He claimed to be unable to wield a sword, but the moves he showed when fighting the Vice-Chairman in the day before the hunt began showed otherwise. Could it be, it turned out that the young man was a member of Muinaru who had secretly sneaked here? To drop the Arsenic Guild's good name!"
For a moment Shawn seemed speechless. What...is his destiny as a 'fourth' indeed irreversible? Both as a silver-haired and blue-eyed youth, as well as a black-haired and red-eyed youth. Neither as Shawn, nor as Noah. Why doesn't everyone get tired of blaming themselves for every misfortune?
"I disagree," spontaneously the soft voice got the attention of every pair of eyes there, including Shawn. "You don't see how badly Noah's wound is? Will the person who can use the sword get hurt that badly?"
"Yes, Vio is right," Agatha nodded. "At the end of the day, he just dodged my attack and attacked with his bare hands. Just that doesn't necessarily prove that Noah lied. Not being able to use a sword does not mean not being able to fight. Margaret herself also said that Shawn's sword skills are only slightly better than the basic level, right?"
As if unexpectedly the stupidity of the two girls sitting opposite him, Zein laughed cynically, frustrated, changing the atmosphere there to be heavier. "Alright, just assume your words are right! Then, what? Does that change the fact that this young man named Noah is suspicious? He could've faked all those wounds to trick us. Or maybe you're in love with her, the Foolish Girl who covers her whole body in a robe?"
"Get me talk!" the voice that usually sounded soft, now sounded like a predator who was ready to take the life of the prey in front of him. "I understand you're worried because your sister's hurt. But, as the Chief said, everyone here is injured, including me! Don't act like you're the only victims here!"
Suddenly all pairs of eyes appear rounded, quite surprised Vio's usual soft-sounding voice, can shout that strong, including Shawn. "Then I reminded him, it wasn't Noah who threw the grenade, and it wasn't Noah who told Margaret to go to the cave. Margaret went to the cave, of her own free will," Vio said again with great emphasis on the last two words in his sentence. "And if it was true that Noah was Muinaru, there was no way he would be injured that badly. I dare say that the wound Noah got was the most severe among all of us here, even worse than Margaret!"
The silence approached so even that the girl took out every part of her head. From inside a white, semicircular tent, Shawn was stunned. A pair of blue beads behind the contact lenses stared straight at Vio.
This.the first time in his life there was someone who was willing to defend himself all out until like that.
Though perhaps of all the people here, that girl was the one most entitled to suspect Shawn, because just a day after telling his real name, he suddenly changed the name to 'Noah'. Whether this is common, but the girl did not ask Shawn any further and chose to change her call to 'Noah'.
Before things got hotter, the Herald immediately mediated while kneading the temple, "Alright, enough. As Vio said, for now Noah is completely innocent, but of course another story if it is finally proven he is part of Muinaru. Now, everybody get out!"
***
The full moon hangs high in the sky. The sound of an owl was heard quietly among the silence of the night. But a few moments later the owl immediately flapped its wings and went from the branch of the tree he occupied when he realized the presence of other creatures down there.
"Young Master, is it really okay to let the False Chief down?" said a burly man under a tree.
"Those people are also too weak. It is fitting that they are not chosen to follow this hunt. How could a person who had joined for more than 5 years in Arsenic lose against that smelly boy?" timpal burly man with orange hair.
"Herald". Zein frowned, feeling like he had never heard the name. But another story if "Agatha Mayers". There is no one in the 'dark world' who does not know him.
"By the way Young Master, isn't our performance satisfactory?" Manik Zein was interested as soon as he heard the words just now. Ah, the gloomy young man nodded with a smile. "Yes, you guys did well, especially leaving no wounds on 'my future wife'. Take it easy, I'll make sure the Count gives you the right pay."
Hearing the sweet words that were thrown from the mouth of the noble-blooded young man, the three burly men before him instantly saluted, the right arm forming a 45-degree angle and the tightened fingers affixed to the temple. "We will continue to thank you forever for the generosity of Young Master Lawrencium and Count Oldenburgh!" exclaim the three in unison.
In response, Zein, or rather Harry Lawrencium, simply nodded while maintaining a smile on his face. What a village of respect for ordinary people. They are also stupid, if only they knew the 'who' commandments they actually obeyed....
Yes, all this time the young man and girl who hid behind the names "Zein" and "Margareth" were sons and daughters of two noble families who used Harry's disguise magic.
On the night after Harry knocked on Brianna's window in the Roldwix Forest, he met three burly men covered in wounds in the cave where he spent the night. Unmistakably, they must be the three Arsenic Guild assassins who survived. Quite ironic, because only a few minutes before with confidence Harry said that there was no way anyone could survive the 'monster'. But from them, Harry became aware of the 'big secret' that had been kept tight by the Jinxed Prince.
As soon as the sun appeared, Harry immediately left after making sure the three burly men's wounds were sufficiently restrained with his magic and gave them a little of the food he was carrying. He could not wait to tell Brianna quickly, so that they could immediately leave this forest and 'give' the death penalty to the prince of the unlucky bearer he hated, it would be more accurate to say this one kingdom hated him.
But the smile on the face of that beautiful man had to wear off once he found the only house in this forest empty. He found neither the idol of the heart, nor the host. But either because his heart had fallen too deep on the Plutonium Family's daughter, Harry could quickly guess where they were going.
I hope I'm wrong. Brianna couldn't have done it, however she liked on the 'monster', Harry hoped inwardly before then touching the silver pendant around the neck. The pendant is a magic wand whose shape has been disguised—by because of the flow where Harry is very unstable, created a magic wand so that he can still use his magic as much as possible.
"[Teleportation]." The red light immediately wrapped around the pendant so even Harry recited a spell. The light travels from hand to arm, then spreads to wrap the entire body. He closed his eyes, imagining the place to go.
Patz.
As soon as the pair of black beads opened, only chaos reflected in the two netra of the Great Witch descendant Geraldo Lawrencium. The magic tools that served to keep the Jinxed Prince from getting out of here, turned into useless iron scraps. Not quite up there, the thing that made Harry even more surprised was the faint purple aura trail, indicating that the culprit was none other than Brianna.
One point in Harry's heart was tight, actually why did Brianna come this far? Although this is still the territory of Plutonium, but Brianna's actions can be considered a rebellion if it is discovered by the kingdom.
Actually, what do you like about that 'monster?
Along with the slings that slid from the lips, Harry decided to walk in search of the existence of the two humans. If it's true that Brianna decided to get Shawn out of the woods last night, then it's likely that they'll spend the night in the nearest town first.
Even Harry did not know to be content or disappointed when thinking was right, when he saw Brianna was in a small town nearby, in front of a large wooden building. Am I really no better than that 'monster? the inner youth was bitter. But the next second Harry's attention was distracted by the incredible scene right in the middle of the crowd, of a man in a cloak who had the respect of a white tiger.
It seems like what they said is true. Harry stared at the ice that wrapped the legs of every human there. Jinxed Prince, you really are a true unlucky bearer.
Next, you'll know what happened.
Thus, it ends the 'diversion mission' given by 'sheer'. Harry did not know clearly, but there seemed to be an agreement between the First Prince and Brianna so that the marquess princess could leave her residence without suspicion. So, they also obey the wishes of the prince, as well as find out if there are Arsenic hitmen who survived and the extent of their success in carrying out their duties.
After getting a report from Brianna, 'he' ordered to immediately start a 'true mission', which is to find the existence of an ancient artifact. After the 3 burly men received sufficient treatment, they also intended to join the hunt held by one of the Arsenic branches where the ancient artifact was located. Unable to use a real sword, Harry changes the shape of his wand into the form of a sword so that he can still secretly use his magic.
But the unexpected happened, out of the hundreds of people who signed up, only 6 people were selected, and that did not include the hitmen. If it was only Harry and Brianna, there was little chance they could find the ancient artifact. Especially the existence of Agatha Mayers there increasingly aggravate the situation.
The existence of Agatha Mayers here only means 1 thing, a little bit of the Young Marquess Plutonium has known our plan. Or maybe even, the Young Marquess herself was here.
Finally after a long debate, they arrive at a plan to engage the disappointment of other members who were not selected following the hunt in Muinaru's shadow. Yes, if it was Muinaru, the mysterious group that declared itself to be about to bring down the Uranium Dynasty, then surely no one would be suspicious of them.
Just in case, Harry used a bit of magic to injure 'Margareth' and 'Zein'—because it would be very suspicious if at the time Muinaru launched 'action' on all the members, but only those who were unharmed. But whatever misfortune that approached, they passed by the Herald, while still around the cave.
Well, despite meeting a lot of problems, eventually both his mission and Brianna ended well. 'She'll definitely be happy, especially when looking at the artifacts they brought.
