Chapter 27.5

(1 hour before the assassination attempt)

(Rashida Pov)

"*Slams fist on desk* Dammit! Berryll what's taking you so long to find a damn space mage to take me to Shadewolf!? That bitch returned to the castle over an hour ago!"(Rashida)

"(Scared) M-My lady, p-please be patient. W-We've di-"(Berryll)

*Knock Knock*

"(Annoyed) What now!"(Rashida)

"My lord we've found a mage."(Knight 1)

"Bring them in."(Rashida)

*Click step step*

"*Bow* I've heard you are in need of a space mage that can travel to Shadewolf, my lady?"(?)

"Yes. Name your price."(Rashida)

"*Smile* Straight to the point, are we? 40 gold, 20 up front, and 20 when we arrive."(?)

"(Toss) Here. It's 50 gold now let's go now."(Rashida)

"*Catch* *Bow* As you command. *Holds out hand* Just take my hand we'll be off."(?)

*Grabs hand*

"Great now let's go. {Take me to a land that I once roamed. High or low, short or far.}[Teleport]"(?)

*Flash*

(Asura Pov)

*Sigh* Why did that girl have to kill him. Now things are going to get annoying. Granted, I can't say he didn't deserve it. That asshole defiantly did. It's just that Mom won't leave this alone. Hell, she might even try to somehow pin some blame on me.

*Holds forehead* Ugh I -

"(Mad) Asura. What the hell were you thinking letting that bitch kill your brother!"(Rashida)

(Eye roll) Speak of the fucking devil.

"(Annoyed) It's great to see you too Mother. To what do I owe the displeasure of meeting you again?"(Asura)

"(Pissed) You disrespectful shit I am your mother! Show me the respect I deserve!"(Rashida)

"*Hits fist in palm* Ah, you want the respect you deserve, ok. (Dead Pan) Why the fuck are you here bothering me and causing a scene in the guild. Have you finally gone senile?"(Asura)

"(Vain bulge) (Pissed) *Shiick* Do I need to teach you a lesson on respect?!"(Rashida)

"(Closes eyes and shakes head) Tsk, tsk tsk, I wouldn't do that if I were you. I mean we are out in public and well, even you won't get off scot-free if you commit murder."(Asura)

Man does this feel good! It's been years and getting on her nerves feels great!

"*Glare* *Shiik* (Seething) Why did you let your brother get killed."(Rashida)

"*Shrug* Not like could have stopped his death even if I wanted to. Which I wouldn't, but anyway, it was too fast to stop. 1 second his head was on his body the next he was headless. The cut was very clean and fast too."(Asura)

It's true. The only possible way I could have maybe saved him is to sacrifice 1 of my tames. And I don't care enough for those who abandoned and kicked me out to sacrifice something I consider my family. Nope, not even close. But if I had to guess from her face, she's probably going to tell I should have

"(Enraged) Why didn't you use one of those worthless beasts to save him!?"(Rashida)

Fucking called it! No fucking way would I ever! I'd rather sacrifice him than one of my tames! They're the ones who got me to where I am today!

"(Coldly) No way would I ever let one of them die for that bastard. Not only did he bully and beat me up as a kid I also know of all the things that bastard did to was it 10 or 20 other girls. If I had to choose to save him or a stranger, I'd choose the stranger in a heartbeat. Hell, I'd have done the job myself if he did something out in public.

There is no price you could pay me to do it. If you thought, he was SO precious you should have kept him in your mansion. But you let him wonder and do what he pleases and guess what. He finally messed with the wrong person and well you know what happened."(Asura)

"(Pissed)*Shiik* You seem to have forgotten your place!"(Rashida)

"*Knuckle crack* Yes, yes I have. I'm no longer that cowering 16-year-old that follows your whims. I'm 23 and independent with an A-rank in the guild. I worked my ass off 7 years and got a whole lot stronger. Unlike you who sat in their territory and babied their 1st born."(Asura)

"Both of you take it outside! I will not have more bloodshed in my guild today! Thanks for telling me, Wyn."(Douma)

"No problem. (Glare) But when are you going to uphold your side of the deal."(Wyn)

"*Sigh* I've told you many times already. I've had a team on it for a while but, what you want isn't that easy."(Douma)

"*Glare* You've said the same thing for 15 years now. I'm leaving if you can't find them within 1 year."(Wyn)

"Fine, fine, if we can't find them within a year you can go and look yourself."(Douma)

"Deal. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some work to do."(Wyn)

"(confused) What was that about?"(Asura)

"Just a deal me and him made when he was 16 to find someone in exchange for doing guild work no one would do. Ever wonder why he trains newbies even though he's B rank?"(Douma)

"I thought he did it just because he's a nice person?"(Asura)

"*Shakes head* Nope, he does it because I assigned it to him. But finding this person is such a headache. I've had a team on it for years and still nothing. (Glare) Anyway, stop trying to divert the conversation. If you 2 are going to fight do it somewhere else. I will not sit by and watch more bloodshed in my guild."(Douma)

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"Tch, Fine, I'm going to the quest bored. *Stands up*"(Asura)

*Step step*

"(Dash) Hey I'm not don-"(Rashida)

"*Grabs hand* Get out if you have no business for the guild."(Douma)

"Tch, I'll remember this. *Leaves*"(Rashida)

Hah, not even mother can easily mess with the guild master. I hope we never meet again.

Though whatever happened to Rina? Is she doing alright? I haven't seen her in over a month. I heard she registered but hasn't come back since. Should I go see her at the castle?

*Sigh* Why am I so worried about that kid. We only knew each other for less than a day but, that kid is too naive. She could be taken advantage of and not even know it. *Sigh* I'll go once I'm done with selling my materials for today.

----------------------------------------

(Rashida Pov)

(Pissed) That ungrateful bitch! Who does she think she's talking to like that!? And that guild master! Who does he think he is!? I'm a noble and a weapon saint! I deserve respect from all!

"(Glare) Let me in."(Rashida)

"We cannot do that without proper authorization."(Guard 1)

"Please show your letter of entry."(Guard 2)

"(Pissed) I am the sword saint and a count of this country let me in!"(Rashida)

"*Shakes head* We cannot do that unless you have a letter of entry."(Guard 1)

"Not even the royal family is allowed in without one. This is the castle of the demon king none are allowed in without permission."(Guard 2)

"Let me in dammit!"(Rashida)

"What's all the commotion down there?"(?)

"(Looks up) Long time no see Rei. How's the wife?"(Rashida)

"(Glare) Fine, no thanks to you."(Rei)

"Oh, come on we're friends, right?"(Rashida)

"(Disdainful look) We stopped being friends the moment you decided you wanted to bully my wife for being short and using magic instead of the sword. Now why are you here yelling at my guards."(Rei)

"I'm just trying to get into the castle."(Rashida)

"Do you have a letter?"(Rei)

"No, b-"(Rashida)

"Then you can't enter. L- *Thump Thump Thump* What? Really? Fine. Let her in. I've just received word that she's being called by the demon king."(Rei)

""Yes captain!""

*Open*

(Annoyed) Finally, you should have done that to start.

----------------------------------------

"This is her room, my lady."(?)

Finally! I can get my revenge for my son!

"Leave now."(Rashida)

"*Bow* As you wish my lady."(?)

*Step Step Step*

Finally, let's get started.

*Shiik*

*Slash ttttiiiinnnggg*

What!? An ice barrier! Who told her I was coming!? *Shakes head* Doesn't matter. I can still break this. Hooh, [Aether coat]

*Slash ttiinngg*

How!? That should have easily broken it but, all's it did was make a scratch! *Shakes head* I'll find out later for now just keep hitting it and it'll shatter.

*ting ting ting ting ting ting*

*Flash*

Hu-

*Kick crack crash*

"Gah!"(Rashida)

Fuck! I think I broke a rib.

"(Coldly) Fuck off if you don't want to die, nya."(?)

(Pissed) Never. Not now that I'm so close to revenge.

"(Pissed) I refuse! That bitch killed my son!"(Rashida)

"(Cold Glare) So, nya? He probably deserved it if she killed him, nya."(?)

Bastard you dare say that to me!

"*Dash tinngg* (Pissed Glare) Who the fuck do you think you are to say that to me!?*Jumps back*"(Rashida)

(Cold Glare) I'm the one you're trying to kill's master, nya. Now fuck off or you'll have one less head to speak from, nya."(?)

Hah, I'm not scared of some cat with an overinflated ego.

"Hah, like I'm scared of some stupid cat."(Rashida)

*Dash*

Huh, where'd he go?

"Hu-*SLAM*"(Rashida)

Gah! Fuck, that hurt! I think I have a minor concussion.

"(Cold whisper) Final damn warning, nya. Fuck off or die, nya. And one more thing, nya. *Squeezes head* NEVER call me a stupid cat, nya.*Gets up*"(?)

*Guards door*

I'll do anything to destroy that bitch! No matter who I have to use.

"*Gets up* (Glare) I will get revenge one way or another. Even if I have to use the demon king to get it."(Rashida)

"Oh, and what do you plan to tell that murder loli, nya."(?)

Did he just call the demon king a murder loli? Is this guy insane?!

"(Confused) What?"(Rashida)

"(Eye roll) I said what are you going to tell that murder loli dip shit, nya."(?)

This man really is insane.

"(Shocked) Did you just call the demon king a murder loli? You are insane."(Rashida)

"I'm just calling it as it is, nya. She has killed a lot and is a loli, so she's a murder loli, nya."(?)

He's only saying that because she's not here.

"Bet you wouldn't say that to her face."(Rashida)

"Wanna bet, nya. Hey, murder loli hurry up get over here, nya!!"(?)

Huh? Why is he yelling that?

*step step step*

"*Sigh* (Annoyed) How many times have I said not to call me murder loli! And why the hell are you back!? I thought Rina said you left for somewhere!? *Stops*"(Demon King)

(Shocked) It's the demon king!?

"I did, nya. But *Looks at sword saint* a certain insect was trying to kill my cute little disciple and I couldn't have that, nya. So, I stopped my little kingdom-destroying spree and came to protect her, nya."(?)

(Shocked) He did what now!?

"THAT WAS YOU!!?? YOU STUPID BLUE CAT!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW ANNOYING IT IS TO BE PESTERD TO SEND AID TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!!?? THE STUPID NOBLES WOULDN'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT!!"(Demon King)

"*Covers ears* There's no need to yell that loud, nya. And it would have happened even if I didn't do it, nya."(?)

(Stunned) What? What the hell does that mean?!

"Well, little miss wolf in there would have done it, nya. Granted I only left one country for here to go crazy in, nya."(?)

Huh?

"Does this have something to do with her past?"(Demon King)

I'm so lost!? What the hell is this conversation!?

"*Snap* Bingo, nya."(?)

"*Razes eyebrow* And how would you know this?"(Demon King)

I would like to know that too.

"*Smirk* I have my ways, nya. Now back to the main subject of this annoyance trying to kill my little disciple, nya."(?)

"*Looks* (Glare) She what."(Demon King)

*Shiver*

I'm screwed.

"*knuckle Creak Step knuckle Creak Step* It seems someone has grown conceited since I overlooked, their past transgressions."(Demon King)

H-How did she know? I-I made sure nothing leaked. And I gave all the victims money to leave the country, so no one will know. Wait, how did Asura know about it?

"(Terrified) Y-Your majesty I have go-good re-reason for trying to kill her!"(Rashida)

"(Glare) Let's hear your damn excuse."(Demon King)

"W-Well that bi-*Glare* I mean women killed my son 4 hours ago!"(Rashida)

"Pfft, ahahahahaaha! I see! So, that idiot targeted the wrong girl this time and, got killed because of it. (Glare) Also, if it was only a few hours ago how did you know where she was and get here so fast?"(Demon King)

Shit, I said too much!

"U-Uh, um, uh."(Rashida)

"I see. So, there is a spy in my castle, and someone reported about her. But then how did you get here so fast?"(Demon King)

Shit, she figured it out b-but I can still make up an excuse.

"(Cold sweat) Uh uh, um. Uh."(Rashida)

"I see. You hired a space mage to teleport you here. *Looks over* Then how did YOU know what she was doing?"(Demon King)

Dammit, I was found out before I could defend myself!

"I have my ways, nya."(?)

"(Glare) You know that's not going to work."(Demon King)

"Well, let's just say I know a guy who tipped me off, nya."(?)

"(Eye roll) Well, it's better than nothing. Now both of you get the hell out of my castle! And YOU if I hear one word of you trying to harm Rina, I will hunt you down! Now leave!"(Demon King)

"Bu-"(Rashida)

"LEAVE. And you too."(Demon King)

"I will just one second, nya.*Thump*[Teleportation] *Flash*"(?)

----------------------------------------

*Flash*

Wah, *Thump*

----------------------------------------

(Asura Pov)

"*Rubs head* Ow, no- dammit I'm back at the gate! And why is she here!"(Rashida)

Why is mother here? You know what I don't care.

"Let me in."(Asura)

"Do you have a letter of entry?"(Guard 1)

"No, but I'm here to see Rina."(Asura)

"What's your name?"(Guard 2)

"Asura."(Asura)

"You may enter. We've received instructions to let you in if you arrive. Please head to the demon king's office."(Guard 1)

"*Nod* Ok."

----------------------------------------

*Knock Knock*

"Your Majesty you have a guest."(Maid 1)

I got lost. But at least the maid helped me find the office.

"(Annoyed) Who is it now? Come in."(Demon King)

*Click step step Click*

"(Annoyed) Are you also here to cause trouble?"(Demon King)

"I just came to see Rina."(Asura)

"No, can do right now her room is covered in an ice barrier. Come back later."(Demon King)

"(Confused) It's what?"(Asura)

"Her room is covered in an ice barrier for whatever reason and I'm just going to leave her to do her thing. I'll tell her you came so go back for now."(Demon King)

"*Sigh* Fine I'll head back for now but, don't forget to tell her."(Asura)

"I'll tell her, now go. I've got work to do."(Demon King)

"*Sigh* Can I get a guide out?"(Asura)

"Fine. *Ring*"(Demon King)

"*Knock Knock* *Bow* You called Your Majesty?"(Maid 1)

"Guide her out and on your way back get me some coffee."(Demon King)

"*Bow* As you wish Your Majesty. Please follow me."(Maid 1)

*Nod*
