Book 2: Chapter 23: Who are you guys? (3)

The Second Imperial Princess saw that the two of them had come alone unlike her, who had come with her team members, and started to speak.

But why are you alone?

She was asking Mary, but it was also directed at the First Imperial Prince.

.

First Imperial Prince Sanders didn't even look at the Second Imperial Princess and observed the wall.

Man, he really doesnt seem human.

The Second Imperial Princess kept those comments to herself. She heard Heni Wishrop's stiff voice.

"We decided to all investigate separately.

Neither Team 6 members, Fourth Imperial Prince Noi nor mercenary Zero, could not be seen.

Isnt this supposed to be a team mission?

It would be good to do it together, but

The Second Imperial Princess and her team members saw the clear look on Marys spider-web-filled face.

Heni Wishrop, the woman with clear eyes, continued to speak.

It would be good to do it together, but Team 6 has already

It has already turned into a mess.

Mary told the truth without any reservation.

Uhh

Mary heard a shocked candidates voice behind her back.

The First Imperial Prince was looking at Heni Wishrop's back instead of the wall now. His gaze was showing his shock.

The Second Imperial Princess felt the same way.

A mess?

Yes. It is total chaos.

The Second Imperial Princess wondered if this was a form of smoke screen for a moment. However, the nineteenth candidate in front of her seemed quite honest for it to be something like that.

And Mary was telling the truth.

Last night The candidates of Team 6 got settled in their respective lodgings and gathered in their strategy room.

Fourth Imperial Prince had said the following.

You just need to do as I tell you. So, follow my orders.

No thanks?

Noi and Zero One was looking down at the other and the other was smiling brightly as their confrontation continued.

It had continued for one hour.

Mary, who had shown up without Cale, sat and watched the two of them for an hour before finally speaking.

We will gather information separately tomorrow and meet in the afternoon to determine each person's role based on the information brought back. I think it would be a good idea to listen to the orders of the person who brings the most beneficial information.

Hmph.

Sounds good!

Both of them agreed with her method.

Looks like we will just be wasting a day. It would be good if you just listened to me.

Oh my, our esteemed Imperial Prince is sooooo slick of a talker. Hahaha!

You little bastard!

Oh no, I better get to work!

Both of them left the room after the conclusion was made while Mary remained in the room to contemplate whether the two of them had a good or bad relationship.

Eruhaben, who had been the only one to come with her, looked at her with an odd gaze.

What is it?

Mary asked, sounding as if she was speaking to her subordinate, just to be safe.

Its nothing, my liege. You just reminded me of someone I know very well.

I tried to copy them.

She tried to mix Cale and Alberu together and copy the result.

That was wonderful, my liege.

Mary had to hold herself back from smiling as she thought about the satisfied look on Eruhaben's face yesterday.

.

The Second Imperial Princess and her team members looked at the happy-looking Mary as if she was weird.

Does she prefer to work alone? Is it a good thing for the team to have no harmony at all?

Second Imperial Princess Olivia could not fathom what was going on.

Sanders is looking at her as if she is weird too.

Olivia had never seen the First Imperial Prince looking at anybody like this.

Hello everyone.

A knight walked over with a group of knights at that moment.

Are you all here to go outside the wall?

The knight in front was a Dark Elf.

We are.

The knight picked up a document and checked the list after hearing Olivia's response.

Mm, candidate 1 All the way down to candidate 19. It looks like everybody who has requested it is here.

Marys eyes turned toward the large door behind the Dark Elf knight.

The door was small compared to the wall, but the iron gate that was close to seven meters tall seemed quite thick and heavy. It looked as if nothing could break it.

Mary, you need to go out and pretend to investigate alone during the day. Do you think that it is possible?

She recalled what Cale had said.

We can't show our powers right now. That is why we plan on going out to investigate at night while avoiding all the gazes.

The official investigation would happen in the middle of the night, not by going out the front door, but by stealthily going over the wall.

Of course, Eruhaben-nim will be waiting close to the wall. Eruhaben-nim will immediately head to you if you send an emergency signal. Of course, I will be going as well.

Eruhaben had handed Mary a small orb this morning. Eruhaben would head to her location immediately if she broke the orb.

Mary, will you be okay?

Choi Han, who had been by Cale's side, asked with concern.

Mary addressed the whole group who seemed worried.

I will go out as if I am going on a walk.

Good plan, little Mary! Dont struggle on your own!

The corners of Marys lips curled up.

Are you looking forward to it?

"Excuse me?

Mary turned her head after hearing a voice. First Imperial Prince Sanders was standing next to her, looking at her with deeply sunken eyes.

Why is he acting like this?

Mary found the First Imperial Prince to be weird but decided to talk to him.

She had met the First Imperial Prince outside the doors of the Lords Castle when she was leaving.

Sanders had followed behind her and the two of them had arrived here without saying anything to each other at all. Mary had only learned about Sanders going out to investigate because of Second Imperial Princess Olivia.

You have a look of anticipation in your eyes despite the possibility of death.

Sanders looked away from Mary as he nonchalantly commented.

It looks like you are not afraid of death.

One of the Second Imperial Princess's team members commented in a mocking tone.

"She probably doesn't know the dangers of outside. Do you think that a royal would ever have been outside? She probably gained her strength through the dead mana someone gave her.

Mary turned toward the person.

She didnt have anything to worry about to look back towards.

However, Mary did have something on her mind.

Is the young master-nim able to contact the crown prince-nim?

Cale had said that he would remain in the lodging to contact the Roan Kingdom today.

* * *

Fuck.

Cale was frowning at that moment.

He was tapping on the table looking quite annoyed.

The God of Death is always like this. Tsk.

He even clicked his tongue.

He sucks at work.

Sui Khan was next to him in his little boy form drinking tea while agreeing with Cale.

Hey Sui Khan, here, eat this bread!

Thanks, Raon.

Sui Khan petted Raons head while Raon chuckled and filled his mouth with bread.

Hmm.

Choi Han looked at the mirror Cale had placed on the table and mumbled.

Optimizing?

Choi Han asked Cale and Sui Khan.

"What does optimizing mean?

Ha.

Cale let out a deep sigh.

The divine item that the God of Death had given him had carried on the abilities of the cintamani.

< Currently downloading the abilities of the cintamani. >

< Developing communication routes between the dimensions that the owner of the divine item has visited... >

He had seen those messages as well.

The loading time had been 24 hours.

However, a new message appeared once the loading time had ended.

< Optimizing... >

Sui Khan peeked warily at Cale before speaking.

At least it is at 98 percent now.

Yes, only two percent was left.

Cale looked away from the mirror and up at the ceiling.

Team leader.

Yes?

Did you locate the Margrave's room?

He seems to be using the room right next to the fifth-floor central advisors office as his bedroom.

I see.

Are you planning on chatting with him?

The corners of Cales lips twisted up.

Of course. Shouldnt I have a deep conversation with him at least once soon?

Thats great. Deep conversations are great.

Raon, who was watching Sui Khan, quickly started to speak.

Hey Sui Khan! Its weird seeing you smiling like that! It makes me feel oddly tired but anxious!

Sui Khan petted Raon's smooth back.

Riiiiiiiing-!

They heard a cheerful ringing at that moment.

Cale looked down at the divine item.

< ver. 1.01 update complete >

A picture of the cintamani appeared on the screen.

It was placed next to the invitation.

This must be it.

Choi Han sounded a bit excited as he said that and Cale touched the cintamani on the screen without any hesitation.

< Individuals from connection routes of dimensions visited >

< 1. Lee Soo Hyuk >

< 2. Alberu Crossman >

<...Updating other individuals... >

< Please wait a moment! You will soon be connected to all worlds you have visited! >

Its me?

Sui Khan chuckled while pointing to number one and Cale chuckled back at his mischievous comment before moving his finger to touch the screen again.

There was no need to wait for the update to finish.

< Attempting to contact Alberu Crossman. >

The most urgent thing right now was to contact the Roan Kingdom.

Ringringring- ringringring- ringringringringringringring

Human, this music is nice! Hmm?

The excited Raons eyes opened wide.

Cale leaned against the back of the chair.

Paaaat-!

A screen appeared on top of the mirror on the table.

Its the same as a video communication device screen.

He had a pretty good idea as to how the call would go through.

The crown princes bedroom slowly started to appear on the screen.

Its been a while, young master-nim.

Hmm?

Cale flinched.

It looks like youve lost some weight while I havent seen you.

Ron had quite a benign smile on his face while looking at Cale.

Uhh-

It was shocking that Ron had suddenly appeared, but the two people visible on the screen

Ron and Alberu

Cale subconsciously started speaking after looking at the two of them.

Why are you hurt?

They were both injured.

Alberu was so injured that he was lying on the bed.
