“In Fort Ninna I want you Rav-“
“It’s Nille… Fort Nille.”
“Does it matter?” Varon ask’s as he had this look of complete… emptiness.
“No probably not.” Ren answered.
“Well I want you to take control of the crime and find me a middle level merchant that’s willing to do some more dirty business.”
“Very well… anything else?”
“Take Adria”
“… Why must you have me take extra burdens!”
“Just sneak Adria into the city and… I don’t feed her something that isn’t people soon she will start bitching again. Think of it as a bonding experience and get over it.”
“I think this is a bad idea… what if she goes crazy and kills someone in the middle of the street. Also aren’t you a bit too kind on her?”
“Than sneak her out and back to me. Why can’t you do that?“
“It seems like a lot of work can’t I just leave her there? Also no comment on being too kind I see.”
“Hahahahaha! No! no please bring her back to me alive… and if not her corpse so Kung can bring her back.”
“What will you do while I am gone?”
“ Stuff.”
Ahhhh that was 4 hours ago and I have already regretted my decision. I am looking at rising smoke fumes coming from the direction Raven left in.
I wonder what happened?
******
Four hours early. The two of us stand at the base of the city wall. It's a city that's made outside of the fort. See there was only so much room in said Fort so the locals had to make due. I guess thats one good part of the north. No one asks permission for anything. If they tried to do this in some other nobles territory they would probably be forced to pay with everything that they had than be stabbed to death for treason or be stabbed to death for treason. Nobles suck… of course my glorious lord is… probably worse than most nobles. Well he hasn’t gone on a killing spree since we first me but Adria’s kill count is rising quite literally by the day.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
“ Oooooo so much food! Can I eat them! Can I”
“ No… no shut up and come here I am going to take us into the city and avoid the gate ok.”
“ Ok… big sis Ren”
“... you know it’s not sister you little shit.”
“ Oh sorry… lil sis Raven what we gonna do here? And why couldn’t Var Var come?”
“ Var var… better not say that in front of hi- no I think he will love that name. “
“ Really this is why you will never be as much as a cool beauty as me… you don’t understand the hearts of others.”
“ Excuse me! I don’t want to hear that from miss hello there mind if I take a bite out of your leg.”
“ Hmpf!”
“ I will hit you”
“ Th that's child abuse! Varon warned me about that! He said that bad people would come after me and he told me what to do in this situation.”
“ Oh yeah and what's that.”
Adria raised her hand and pointed at me before screaming at the top of her lungs “ PEDOPHILE!”
I punched her in the mouth but she bit down on my fist when it came in contact so I kick her in the chest. Releasing she cannot take my hole hand she wiggles her tongue over my pinky and bites it off before flying away.
“ You fucking bitch!”
I run after her and she runs up the wall of the city. I rush up after her and punt that little fucker off the wall into what looks to be the slums. This is good less guarded here. It’s also going to probably be easier to get closer to the crime.
… where the fuck is she?
*****
“ Hey~ varon why did you do that?”
“ Do what?”
“ Well… send them to an early grave.”
“ What do you mean?”
“ You should know. I mean city guards are armed with divine armaments… can those two really overcome the obstacles in front of them and take control not to mention the local crime is probably 100% connected to the local noble… I mean isn’t this a bit too much?”
“ It’s ok… you will bring them back if they fail so they can get a second chance.”
“ Umm sure…”
“ Is that a no I cannot do it?”
“ I will never defy you!”
“ Really… that's a bit of a disappointing answer but one I can trust. And my trust is something quite rare these days. “
After all Kung the power I gave you and the reason you acquired it was it not to defy?
Are you not like me… a fool who wishes to defy everything he knows just to see if he can?
I suppose your not… also I still have need of Adria.
“Hey Kung why were your undead so weak?”
“ That's just what time does to things my love. So if you don’t think they will fail what do you think will happen?”
“ First Adria will pick a fight or maybe Raven will try and eliminate Adria altogether… like I said trust is a difficult thing to obtain and Ren lost it as soon as he started acting like that. It obvious he wants something from me and that he dislikes Adria but that might be a problem later on so if he returns without Adria or her corpse we will remove him.”
“ Should I be the one?”
“ No his ability is specialised towards assassination I will remove him personally.”
“ That good and all but what do you think will happen next?”
“ Adria will be unable to control herself… if she is lucky she will be in the slums and might have some time before she is caught in a sense this is a test for her as well. Will she be the victim or the monster I cannot wait to see.”
“ What of Ravan?”
“ He will be unable no he won’t even try to find Adria and will instead seek the leader of the local government lady Evelyn and remove her after he quickly discovers she is the head of the local crime ring.”
“ Killing a noble is easier said than done!”
“ Well… that will be easy but it how he will kill her I am more interested in.”
“ Lord Varon?”
“ Poison, a knife, strangling, will he have his way with her beforehand, will he do the job as a professional or will be convinced another to do it in his place or make it seem as if that other did so.”
“ You’re testing him to see if he will be useful to you in the long run?”
“ Adria is Adria but Adria can never be more than Adria. What I want from Ren is Ren not another Adria as I already have an Adria but might not have a Ren while having a Ren's Ren and not a Ren thats an Adria.”
“... I see.”
Ren said but in truth he had no idea what Varon was actually saying.
