When I walked out, I immediately used Conceal Presence. When I got back into the main streets of the town, there was just crowds of people talking and talking even though it was so early in the morning. I was eavesdropping on a couple of these people and this was what I heard.

"Did you hear? They caught that hot yellow level criminal Janna Vanderbolt,"

"No way, how? The soldiers couldn't even find a trace of them for so many years!"

"I heard from my cousin from the royal army that they got lucky and caught one of their accomplices. They somehow got just enough information before the guy's head exploded!"

"What?! How did that happen?"

"My cousin said that they are part of a secret organization. Some sort of curse was probably put on them,"

"Man that's cruel,"

"I know, but that's what happens when you join an organization. If the soldiers do not kill you, your own organization will screw you over,"

"Yeah...,"

Seems like the royal soldiers are not as useless as I thought they'd be. However, I was still curious about something. I quickly go up to a random guy and started asking my questions.

"So who was Janna Vanderbolt's target?" I asked after removing Conceal Presence.

"Woah! Where did you pop out from?" the guy asked with surprise. His reaction wasn't all that surprising.

"Haha, brother, I just left the inn and I just arrived here. Don't worry too much about that. Who was Janna's target?"

"Apparently, her target was Lyka Wintercolt, the heiress of the Wintercolt family. Fortunately, a royal spy infiltrated their organization. However, that royal spy died before saying any information of value!"

"What?!" I was extremely surprised because that most likely meant that other members of that organization were in this town which puts me in a danger because they most likely saw me kill Viktor. However, seeing the fact that they didn't kill me, they're either reporting me to the leaders or they just ignored me. However, at the same time, I was also relieved since Lyka was safe and sound.

"Yeah, that scene was cruel. What I heard from others was that as soon as the spy walked to the royal soldiers when he ratted Janna out, his head exploded and half the royal soldiers almost barfed from the scene. They've seen battlefields, but seeing their ally's head explode right in front of them was probably not the most pleasant scene that they have seen,"

"So how were they going to capture her. Kidnapping her in a city full of royal soldiers doesn't seem to be the best of ideas,"

"The soldiers apparently saw that in Janna's bag, there was another small bag which they have confirmed it to be the Human Capturing Bag. I heard it's an item in which you form a bond with it and when a person is knocked out, you can touch that person and concentrate your magic to that bag which ends up sucking up that person into the bag. That bag could also transform into other items when holding a person, but can't when it's not holding anyone in. Apparently, only certain people are allowed to have it since it's so hard to make and too many people would get kidnapped if it was spread around. So only a couple of people knows of its existence!"

If all of this is true, this organization is extremely powerful. I guessed that the "certain people" are royal soldiers or nobles and since Varin was also likely captured with this, they had at least 2 bags and giving 2 to 4 people when it's extremely hard to make shows the power of this organization. It should be on the level of at least a half of this kingdom or even more.

"Thanks brother, well I have to go, I have a quest to finish up and my party is waiting for me,"

"Haha, just saying the rumors going around. No problem,"

"Thanks, I will,"

I immediately go back to the Duke's mansion and there were guards everywhere. When I tried to go inside, a guard stopped me.

"Halt, what is your business?"

"Ummm, I live here," I said.

"You are not a part of the Wintercolt family. I'm sorry, but I have to take you in for questioning,"

"For what?!"

"You want to go inside the Wintercolt family's home right after a kidnapping. I am suspecting that you are part of Janna Vanderbolt's group,"

I looked at this guard's stats.

An extremely talented soldier that is also from the Vorghes Family, with Earl Nicholas Vorghes as the head. As his father was a noble ex-general of the Royal Army, Nicholas is following his footsteps and he is in his 2nd year of being in the army. He graduated from the Royal Academy, a school for warriors, magicians, and adventurers. He graduated with top grades and is an extremely honest person. However, at times he is extremely calculative and he does not hesitate from sacrificing his fellow soldiers or himself in order to benefit the kingdom. He was Lyka Wintercolt's fiancé, but because of certain reasons, he rejected her and Varin Calleem was lucky enough to be next in line.

Julian was quite strong as a level 85. God he's the original fiance? However, I realized something that was quite strange.

'Oh yeah, Navi, I just want to ask. Why wasn't the fact that Varin was Lyka's fiancé appear in Lyka's stats?'

'Information is given out based on what the system deems should be given out. The system could say that Lyka wet the bed till the age of 3, but there is no need to say that. As you were not in a relationship with Lyka nor did you care about her relationship status, the system did not say that she was in a relationship with Varin Calleem,'

'Oh, I guess that's pretty reasonable,' I said.

As soon as Julian was about to touch me and I was going to retaliate, Lyka came out of the mansion.

"Julian what are you doing here? Get away from this mansion!"

"I'm here to protect you from any harm Miss. Lyka. If any more dangerous individuals come here, we are to immediately kill them and if we are not in vicinity of the mansion, there is a possibility that your safety will be jeopardized,"

"Shut up with your smart mouth. Send in your soldiers. As the captain, you should not waste your valuable time here. Shouldn't you spend it with that other girl that you rejected me for," Lyka said while rolling her eyes.

"Lyka that was a mistake. I should've never rejected you. I realized that you are so much better than Claudia. Please let me back into your life again," Julian said with a pleading tone.

"Save it. You only realized this because you accidentally heard Claudia say to her brother that she was using you for your money. Yeah, I'm sorry. I once admired you and wanted to marry you, but now I'm engaged to someone else so I can't be with you,"

"I could easily ask Viscount Calleem to break the engagement and he'll gladly do it. He's in a tough situation right now and needs all the help he could get. If I say that the Vorghes family will help him, he'll do anything to get it. Besides you don't even like that arrogant scumbag Varin,"

"Yeah, I don't. I absolutely despise him and my father is starting to realize how ridiculous that engagement is and is about to break it himself as well. However, even if I don't like him and my father breaks the engagement, I will never get back together with you," Lyka said with an angry tone.

I just stood there watching with 2 other guards with gaping mouths. I really wanted some popcorn and a chair right now because let me tell you, a drama on T.V. is nothing compared to drama right in front of you as long as it doesn't concern you.

"Why, Lyka? I apologized. I showed my love towards you. I did everything in my power to try to woo you. Why won't you accept me?"

"Hmph, because currently I like that man in front of you,"

I suddenly lost all my appetite for popcorn and the 2 soldiers next to me now looked at me with gaping mouths.

'Oh fuck,' I thought to myself as Julian turned his head towards me.

"What did you say Lyka?!" Suddenly behind me, Varin showed up as well.

'Oh double fuck,' I thought while thinking about running.

Author's Note: Hey guys, I started posting on royalroadl.com. It's pending currently. The reason? Firstly, that site is mainly for original works like this so I could get more views and stuff, but that's not the main reason. The main reason I did it is because there is a voting system where I can put in polls like Twitter and I love it. It's because people vote more than they comment because it's anonymous IDK, but yeah voting gives me a great method of communication with you guys. So if you want to vote for stuff go there and vote and stuff. However, since it technically won't be fair to do both sites equally with that site have the voting perk here is the thing. I will post every chapter here a day early. So if I post this on Friday, royalroadl will have the chapter on Saturday. Unless it is on a Sunday where I have to upload it on the Sunday or it goes onto Monday. So they will be a day later than you guys for the Friday post and when I'm done moving, I might not do that many Sunday posts as much, but let me just say I MIGHT not WILL, but MIGHT!!!!! But yeah that's all I have to say.
