Will of chaos

498 Cap 496: Dear niece(Chapter preview)

Pov Demon Queen:

It's been a few months since my aunt left this continent, I was a little worried as I hadn't heard from her for a long time, she hadn't reported on the agreed date.

I only calmed down when one of her former students brought me a message that came through the Assassin's Guild.

When I read the message I realized that my brother was the leader of the extremists, it also seems that my aunt found out about the extremists' whole plan.

What worries me is the group that my aunt is describing as an unknown who fought the extremists, she says in the message that she even defeated them all, this without alarming the people of the Morror Continent too much about what was happening.

But one thing caught my attention, my aunt didn't say anything about this group that destroyed the extremists, but she told me details of the extremists, besides she doesn't describe anything about the unknown group, I don't know their numbers, races, powers, appearances or if they have any name, I don't know anything about them.

"(She knows who they are, but she doesn't want to reveal the information.)" (I)

At the end of the message, she said that she will be traveling for a while and says that she has found a place to stay.

I try to reread the whole letter, but it doesn't have any code that we usually use, but it still has something weird.

From all I know about her, I can assume she is indirectly indicating that she knows about this mysterious group and doesn't intend to give me that information, meaning they are not a threat to the empire.

For her to laugh, it sure means that the place she chose to stay must be with this mysterious group.

I get up from the throne and go to the window where I jump out and spread my wings to glide to the gardens, I do this to think better.

"(The way she seems to want to protect this group worries me, my aunt has always been the most loyal to the Black Empire, but even then for the first time she refuses to share their background.)" (I)

"(If I'm guessing correctly and she's with this group, then that's even weirder, the level of trust she's showing this mysterious group is abnormal.)" (I)

"(As far as I know my aunt is only loyal at this level to the empire and its Religion, this could mean that this group may be related to the Blood Religion, could it be that she met with people from the Vampire faction who remain neutral ?)" (I)

"(That would be plausible, they could send a group to exterminate the extremist Vampires and everyone else.)" (I)

Sigh

I look at the plants in the garden, I would like to see my aunt before I leave, apart from my parents, she has always been the person I trust the most, I planned to bring her with me when I left, so I was going to fire her now, as this last mission of hers took a lot longer than expected, I was ready to fire her and replace her with one of her students, but now I can't even get in touch with her.

"(What am I going to do now?)" (I)

"My Queen, the Poison Forest Elves have sent a representative who wishes to speak with you, what should I say to him?"

"Say I'm on my way."  (I)

"Yes, my lady."

After the servant leaves, I look at the leaves in the garden as I remember the many times I have encountered these Elves who have been making very suspicious moves.

They have been sending Elves all over the Dark Continent and even other continents as if they were looking for something, but they don't say what they were planning, but they never do.

"Let's find out what he wants."  (I)

Pov Zenos:

The battles in the city took until after dawn, I took advantage of Layla's eyes to follow the progress of the battle, meanwhile, I realized that this city didn't have a castle.

When I went to talk to Lilian to find out the reason why this city, which was the only one in this Kingdom, didn't have a castle, she said that it was because she was looking in the wrong place.

Lilian explained to me that the castle is located behind the small mountain a little further away from the city, she said that this was to protect itself from attacks by boats or monsters coming from the sea.

When I sent Layla in the direction Lilian warned the castle was I could see that another battle was taking place there, the castle seemed to have little damage for the number of explosions I was hearing, maybe it is fortified with magic.

I sent Layla back because I wasn't interested in the outcome of this civil war, the only thing I cared about was it ending soon so I could enter the city.

I still can't believe my luck to arrive in the middle of a civil war, but as the other option of traveling to another port would only take even longer, all I can do is wait a few days.

----------

Just like Lilian had said, we were quiet on the ship for the next three days, even though the civil war was over, it looks like they still wanted some time to regroup before starting to let people back in.

First, they let the population back in, after that they waited 1 day before letting the boats and ships start disembarking at the port, but that was only for those who lived in the city.

Then they let those who were just passing through the city in and then those who were unknown like us.

When we were finally allowed to dock at the port, I could feel a lot of suspicious eyes on us, many of those eyes came from the soldiers, but I also felt a pair of eyes hiding somewhere.

When we got off the ship we were directed to a room where we had to present some sort of identification, I used my Adventurer's Guild card and Ivan's Trader's Guild card.

After that, we had to answer some questions while tempting us for lies.

They asked questions such as whether we intended to harm this Kingdom or this city, how long we are going to stay, the reason for being in this city, and what we thought of the new government.

It was easy for us to pass these questions as I don't care about this city or its government, and don't have anything against them either, I also said that we were just passing through and wanted to sell some goods here.

We were given permission to stay and do business, we were also told to look for a representative of the new government to discuss the trade of some items.
