Chapter 59: The Information About the Capital

Looking at Al who still sobbing in my embrace, something tingling in my heart and it pained me for some reason.

I hold her fragile mature body gently as my hand caressing her back slowly to appease her.

'Did she really that sad because of my recklessness that night? but Eliz sad she is down because of the bad information I gave...sigh...'

Anyway, I couldn't keep lamenting on this, it's better to apologize to her directly now as in case, she is really sad because of that night accident...

[Al... I am sorry if that night accident really bothers you a lot... I will be responsible for the thing that I have done, and promise to take care of you in this life...]

I could feel her body trembled slightly after listening to my apologies. She glanced her face at me strangely while still being in my embrace. I could see her eyes redden and her cheeks wet stained by her tears, somehow she looked really fragile and pitiful at this moment

[I-i think you misunderstood something... I am not sad because of that... but because of the other thing... and.. you don't have to blame yourself too much.... as it was Elizabeth that made us did a... th-that thing... anyway, I am not crying! I just happy that it made me cry!]

[I-is that so? sigh... I thought you still lamenting about that night's accident... Anyway, did you happy after seeing me? hehehe~ don't worry, I will never abandon you, so, my baby Al could act cute too~]

I wiped her wet cheeks gently as playfully teasing her. Her face started to redden in embarrassment before she trying to calm herself to act maturely as possible after realize that she acted inappropriately at her age.

'isn't that too late? hohoho'

I feigned my ignorance and act like I didn't see anything to not hurt her self-esteem, I waited for her to settle her feeling as keeping her in my embrace. 

Before long, she became normal again, but for some reason, she kept embracing my body without having a sign to release me soon.

She started comfortably closed her eyes before snuggling at my chest like a kitten

[Alex... thank you very much for your help and give us that important information... and about your worry about that night's accident... you didn't have to think about it too much... you know, even though I am being drugged, I absolutely will not sleep with someone that I didn't like in the first place... so...

Anyway, I am really happy after heard that you will take responsibility now, fufufu. Then, please take care of me from now on~ I will not be asking too much as keeping you for myself or anything... but please... love me as your women~]

I embraced her tightly and lean my head in her ears before whispering at her romantically in a soft voice

[What are you talking about? you already become one~ so of course, I will love you the same as the others]

[umm... Anyway, thanks a lot for defeating one of the Duke pawns, I couldn't imagine what would happen if you not taking that quest... maybe... sigh... lets not talking about this heavy stuff, I just want to enjoy this warm feeling a little longer~]

I silently agreed with her and enjoyed the warmness radiated by her body comfortably.

'Al you don't have to worry, as long as I am alive, I will not let anything happen to you and your family'

I silently resolved myself firmly!

To anyone out there who dared to touch my woman, just sit tight and enjoy your pitiful life while you still can!! it's not long before I made you guys pay for your debt after trying to touch what is consider mine!

I continued embracing Al while silently swore to myself

After embracing and flirting with Al for a while, I told her the reason I came here. After she somewhat understands that it's a kind of formal business she started to bring me toward her Lord's office.

I just silently followed her and enjoying the scenery inside the manor along the way.

Before long, she asked me to wait for a while as she changed her thin pajama to the formal black dress she usually wore.

She sat and behave herself elegantly and full of prestige. It seems I forgot that she was originally a noble in the first place.

It couldn't be helped as we just flirting around like a young lover just a few minutes ago

[So, you planned to install the Teleportation Gate that connects your base and my manor? hmm... I could permit you as long as you could guarantee its safety and control the people who could use it. The gate is quite necessary to smoothen our business dealings in the first place, so I will not making it hard for you to get the permit. but, I am quite curious, how high are you Space&Time magic level?]

[It's a max level, hohoho~]

[sigh, you don't have to lie, I will not ask you if you didn't want to tell me about it yet anyway~]

[Right...]

It's not that I didn't want to tell her, but she was the one who didn't believe it in after all~, so it couldn't be helped right?

Anyway, we continued talking leisurely until Eliz knocked on the door and entered the office to discuss the issue about the trouble the Capital aristocratic family will bring toward the Federic's house.

This meeting was one of the reasons why I came to Al manor in the first place.

We wanted to discuss the solution and countermeasure of the incoming 'Storm' that will come and hit Al noble's house while sharing the information we have in hand to finalize our plan. I didn't know a lot information about the Duke that targetting Al noble house except for its name in the first place, that's why it's really necessary for me to get the information from Eliz, if possible I wanted to deal with the Duke family anonymously by myself.

With the help of Silver Wolf I confident that I could raze the Greenfields whatever Duke house to the ground. Of course, it will be in the future as I need to train and strengthen the Silver Wolf to increase the success rate and safety when dealing with the Duke force.

Eliz bow in courtesy after seeing me and Alein, she fixes her glasses as usual before seriously looking toward both of us

[I am sorry to disturb both of you, but I will start the meeting now.

After getting the information from sir Alex

...

.

Eliz started to tell us about the result of the investigation after mobilizing the intelligent force of Federic's house to gather information and check its credibility with the assistant of the "RAT" that Federic's house planted in the Capital.

As its name, RAT in here was the metaphor used by the nobles to change the word of spy, I don't know why they bother to use the "RAT" word instead of spy, but it seems it's one of the noble etiquettes because it's somewhat tarnished their reputation if they found out planting spy to other territories. in short, it's too vulgar if they blatantly used and planted spies in their noble ethics.

Anyway, it's one of the noble's antiques, so I didn't want to delve further into their silly games of words.

Eliz continued informed us about what did they found out in the capital, it seems the RAT detected unusual movement from the Duke's house, and as expected, the young master of Grenfilts family seems to be absent for some reason. It's rumored that the first son went to the dungeon expedition with his knight at Alabatrost town.

While the second son aka the degenerate philanderer rumored to be attending some of the low-ranking noble party of one of the Duke Grenfilts faction with one of the Duke knight.

What a bullshit?! I am sure The Duke spread out false information to hide his true agenda.

But with the two of the sons missing, it's somewhat made me unsettled... did the first son really go to the dungeon? hmm... 

Talking about the dungeon, I really need to go there and brought the Silver Wolf to train and raised their levels, lets find the time later after dealing with this problem.

Eliz continued telling us about the situation inside the capital, with the absence of the king and the death of the crown prince, the political situation started to heat up as some of the old aristocrats blatantly formed a faction by using the second and third princes as their puppet and acting as their backing.

The Gharam Kingdom king has 3 sons and 1 princess. the princess was still 6 years old and the only daughter of the king with his second wife.

As for his 3 sons, it was the son he got from his first wife. there is no information about the queen's situation in there as it seems the two queen always act lowkey, or maybe they just smart enough to hide their activities from the RAT sharp nose.

But one thing is, it seems the two wives of the king had a title as the two immortal pearls from the west sea, they get that title because of their well-known beauties and their everlasting appearance that rumored never aged but somehow became more beautifully mature like a wine along the time.

gohon!* should I cuckold the king? haha, it's a joke of course, what?! you guys doubt me?!

caugh caugh!*

Anyway, since the death of the crown prince which the oldest among the other princes, there were only two princes left, the 12 years old second prince that still in puberty and always acts like a spoiled brat that always did anything he wanted.

And the other price is the 5 years old third prince, that still innocent and naive.

These two useless princes are the perfect tool for the Capital Old Aristocrat's family to fulfill their ambition of gaining control and power from the ownerless kingdom.

.

..... and that's all the information that our RAT provided, most of the dukes family already started showing their fang to each other, but somehow the Duke Grenfilts has the disadvantage in this power struggle as his faction is the most weaker compared to the other Dukes family... maybe its the reason why he is very adamant to annihilate our house and put the Neutral faction under his wing]

hmm..... I wonder what the two wives of the king do in this situation. Unfortunately, there is no information about their activity, Anyway, what I have to do now is get the information about the territory and the defense of the Duke whatever greenfields, what? It's not that I couldn't spell his name properly, I just too lazy to care about that almost dead Old man. 

Did you guys think I am too arrogant? no no no! you have to differentiate between arrogant and confident. what was my source of confidence? of course, it's the broken skill Absolute Copy! what else?!

[Eliz, could you give me all the information about Duke greenfields along with his two sons? its really helped me if you give it in a detailed manner]

Elizabeth stared at me annoyingly before fix her glasses elegantly and took out a bundle of paper like document made of some animal skin.

Looking at the obsolete paper, somehow I have an idea to introduce white paper in this world, hmm... let's note this inside my business plan.

Elizabeth gave me the document like bundle while started talking grumpily

[Please called me Elizabeth on this formal occasion, and stop making fun of the duke name and spell it properly, even though he is our enemy, he is still the high noble of this kingdom, please learn some courtesy will you? sigh.... anyway I already prepared it before you ask me since I know you planned to take action alone... just please be careful as you are the only strong important backer that we have now...]

[ggh! it's quite a lot, did you gave me that duke biography? sigh... let's read it later, as for now, it's better if I begin to build the Teleportation Gate first, With the unstable situation in the Capital now, I didn't know when it will explode before affecting your noble's house after all. with the Transportation Gate installed, I could back you up by sending my own combat force anytime you guys need it~]

Suddenly, Al and Eliz stared at me in surprise before started asking me at the same time in excitement!

[[Since when did you have your own personal force!! why did you not tell me before?!!]]

I dropped the document in my hand because of surprised and dumbfoundedly looking at the two of them with a flabbergasted expression!

Bahg!!

shaakk~ shk!~

*heavy paper scattered noise

Why they are so excited for?!
